Agreed here. You must love the material/story or you’ll never write it. Also writing is revision, and revision is hard, even for professionals. But it’s the process of going through the hard parts that make the story good. Staying passionate can be a challenge, especially if you’re writing long form like a novel. And sometimes, even for short stories. The thing to remember is that writing is rarely a linear process. If you’re trying to force a story out, it won’t work. The readers will also sense this immediately. You need to take breaks from the material and come back with fresh eyes, especially when you’ve lost the spark.
