Day 9: Writing is harder than I thought

Hi!
writing is hard, probably why many don't write
I finally started writing on my first guide/tutorial article and I made huge progress where I can't see any reason I would not publish it tomorrow But writing is so hard!! even harder than I thought it would be.
You spend like a day or two learning about a concept and since you will be making an article/teaching about that concept you are supposed to have at least a decent understanding about it and to really understand something it takes time
you then have to find a way to structure your article that it is easy to follow not looking like you were just throwing random words and you may understand something but to explain it especially orally take a lot of time. these adding refinements grammar checks, you end up spending another day on article of 4000 words which is unbelievable
I thought I could write an article a day (a serious one/ a tutorial one) but it is very time consuming especially when you are starting out. but I'm happy that I'm now on like 80% into finishing my first one and I can't wait to share it to with the world I noticed that I learned a lot especially diving into documentations trying to find resources I hope by the time I finish the first article I will be equipped with more tips to use when I start the second
Let's see how it will come along tomorrow
