She complains about the instability, isolation, and loneliness, but she also hates the competition, fame, and media attention. She struggles with deadlines and self-motivation. She sometimes gets so caught up in her work that she can’t sleep and forgets to eat or shower. She says “I hate writing” and “I hate this so much” all the time.
