Is it true that screenwriting is an easy job?

if you're smart and talented and crafty and quick sure it's an easy job
i'm not quick so for me it isn't an easy job.

but if you are! well then, yes you can sit on your ass in the beach sand and write

that sounds a lot easier than being a mover for a moving company.


then again I imagine one of these two jobs would be much more accessible were I to send applications to both for potential employment
 
Coming up with story ideas and outlines is super easy. It's my favorite part of the process. However, hammering those ideas and concepts into a script that is worthy of being filmed... that's another beast entirely. I can outline an entire movie in about a day. Writing the script though takes me forever at times.
 
What makes it a hard job is that no matter how hard you work, it is very hard to judge your own writing and to know who to trust to critique it. No matter what, writers have to settle for their work because it could always be better.
