It isn’t the writing part, it’s making your work public and all that entails.
Criticism, good and bad.
Work, blog posts, getting blurbs to put on book covers and inside, writing acknowledgements, etc.
Add to that Social Media (didn’t used to be this way back in the day).
Add to that doing marketing.
I have several books in virtual files on my computer that will never require anything of me. Not accepting criticism from people. Not marketing. Not making sure my author picture is current enough to be recognizable, not caring about sales numbers.
The thing is, I do it to have a voice and maybe leave something behind (besides my children and grands, who are my real legacy).
