Writing: How Difficult It Really Is?

Is writing hard? Is the way you write determined by pure talent or just endless rewriting?
How to create your own style and yet remain in the domain of a clear, simple clutter-free area?
Answers to these and many other questions can be found in an excellent book I'm currently reading: On Writing Well by William K. Zinsser. As one single post would be overloaded with data if I tried to summarize everything I have read so far, I am going to compose as many posts as there are chapters in the book and thus dedicate as much attention as it is needed to each and every topic. Writing really is hard work, but it can turn into magic once you start understanding what it is all about. So, may this be the introductory post - we have yet to see what this book has to offer once we start using tips and hints from it.
