Indeed, there are even several examples discussed elsewhere on this page already! Some successful authors have shared their struggles with motivation and perseverance, and others have shared their lack of such. For some people, writing is a refuge from the stresses of the world, for others it’s a compulsion, for others it’s a surge of inspiration that moves through them now and then, etc This variety of process is common to all traditionally creative endeavors, and even things like athletics or coding. There’s no shortage of “successful” people sharing their experience of such. I can’t know, but you may be blinding yourself through some kind of confirmation bias.
