why you should write every day?

You have probably heard that as a writer you should write every day. Have you ever wondered why that is? Well I can answer that with one word. To form a habit (yes that is not one word). Writing itself does not sound too difficult. You sit at a desk, chair, any form of sitting apparatus and put words on to the paper. The moment you try to do it you realize it is much more difficult than it looks.
Writing is a much more daunting process than it looks. That blank page could be one of the most frightening things in the universe. Why? Because it makes you realize how insane you are. You plan to craft a story that is somewhere between 40,000 and maybe 80,000 words. That is utterly insanely difficult commitment and you will realize that. All those thoughts might make you quit writing before you even start writing because your brain is telling you everything that can go wrong in this new  project. Your brain will tell you that you are wasting your time. You have to overcome these thoughts.
It is similar to pushing a rock up a steep hill. Every time you sit down and write you are shoving that rock a little further up the hill. If you continue to push hard on that rock you will make progress. Sooner or later you'll hit the top of that hill and momentum will pull the rock down the rest of the way. It will become much easier.
Once you hit your stride sitting down to write becomes much easier. The words will seem to flow from your brain. Why? Because the human brain is extremely good at adapting. When you force yourself to write your brain realizes writing is just another part of life. It becomes a habit no harder than taking out the trash or washing dishes. That is the kind of mind set that is hard to form without writing ever day.
