Not sure if "writing" is the easy part if.. say, you're trying to write a book.

Some of my favorite posts here are my most downvoted.

I write a lot in this HN comment box and post and then immediately delete. Probably my favorite.

But I've written a couple of books and that kind of writing, re-writing, editing and publishing is radically different from posting online.

I would agree that making something good, large, and structured is quite hard. I never finished at least two ideas along those lines because I could never decide where to go and how to finish them.

If the muses strike me just right I feel like I could write for ages though. Then it goes in a directory somewhere, never to be seen again.
