The writer talks about Hemingway, he should learn from Hemingway to express himself in less words. Hemingway learned from news reporting.
I personally know people that writes professionally, including Nobel prices in Spanish literature(I organized writers meetings, specially promising young people with already famous ones). Most of them do not believe writing is hard.
In fact I remember Francisco Umbral being asked about it, how he could write something everyday for the newspaper. He said it was extremely easy, you could always find something interesting if you think about it.
Thinking writing is hard is a self fulfillment prophecy.
About working hard, coders do not do all the work, that is the question. Most of the work is done by a machine, the computer, like current coal miners, they use machines for doing 95% of the work, from drilling holes for explosives to removing material.
They(the miners) also earn lots of money, and breathing issues are improved with machines too(full masks). The reason the retired at 40(with full pension) in places like Spain.
So working hard is not that important anymore, when machines are the ones who work hard. Those do not suffer or feel bad or exhausted.
Some people believe that work for being worth something needs tears, sweat and blood. Martyr psychology.
