Most writers love what they do; they feel that they were born to write. Writing could be very rewarding sometimes especially when you get positive feedback or when a reader thanks you for an insightful article. However, it’s not always as straightforward as some people might think; writers face some problems that only they can relate too.

It’s so frustrating when you get negative feedback for an article that you really liked especially if the person hasn’t even bothered to read the article in the first place. Some people just criticize the article by looking at the title.
