"Good night, and may the Good Lord take a Viking to you."
Writing is an odd disease. It has all the symptoms, Cold sweats, hot flashes, nervous tics, anti-social behavior patterns, even the sudden stomach and bowel evacuations. The usual treatment is a isolation, plenty of fluids, and reminding the afflicted to eat on a regular schedule.
Writing is not necessarily something to be
ashamed of - but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.
- Time Enough For Love, Robert Heinlein

Then the horns kicked in...

I'm fond of the one, and I'm not sure who said it first or most famously, about hating to write, but loving to have written.
