“The War of Art” is a counterexample—a successful book by a very successful writer, who is paid for writing, all about how brutally hard it is to force yourself to write (or express yourself artistically in any way), and with various methods, tactics, and inspirational stories to overcome this.
This book illustrates how your conflation of “love” and “easy to do” is wrong—these writers may love writing, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy for them to sit down and start filling the screen with words. The difficulty, in many cases (certainly rings true for me, and others I know) is in starting certain tasks, those w/ strong ugh fields. So one might love one’s work, and still need to force oneself to start the right tasks.
