People attempt to glorify authorship. So often you find writers proclaiming, "It feels so good to write again! It's been too long!" And in some circumstances, they're right. When you craft elaborate fictions entirely from your mind, it may be enjoyable (whether the thrill comes from creation or sharing), but that is not true writing.
True authorship is written in red from a silver pen--a pen that is first driven into the author's chest to draw ink from their still-beating heart. When it is completed, the author lies still on the floor, all they are poured into the words they penned.
True authorship is a curse; true authorship is Hell.

I think this is true, but I also think there's more to it. Sure, writing is really freaking hard, and words are formed from sweat and blood, but it's also a calling. If it weren't, no one would do it. Like with any other calling, there is certainly glory in achieving any sort of goal, imaginary or otherwise.
