If it was HardToWrite, it's supposed to be hard to read.

So throw it out and find an easier way to do it. HardToWrite means TooComplex, which means bad.

''Anything you did today can be done tomorrow in only 15 minutes and be better.''

Case in point - I spent all of yesterday working on an essay. 7AM to 11PM. As I went to bed I thought - that was really hard. It really didn't flow. It's probably not much good, is it?

In the morning I started again, from scratch. Didn't even look at the old one. Had a fresh look at some how to write essay pamphlets and started again. Much much better this time.

There is a quote saying that writing in a simple and clear explanation is much harder, which fully contradicts the proposal: the harder it is to write, the more readable.
I think that part of the problem is the "lucidus ordo" effect: if one masters the subject, it is easier to write about it; conversaly, if it one has troubles to write about a topic, *maybe* it is because one doesn't master the subject.
I also think it is one reason why DocumentsFirstCodeLater is useful.
