I, um, am going to have to say it's hard work, yes.
And while it's looked down on, with a few superstar exceptions, it pays better, sells more, and more writers can live off of genre fiction. It's a trade off.
I've been doing ok writing hard to define books that don't fit in any genre--but I'm an anomaly, and I know that. It's always hard, all of it, like any job, but unlike a 9-5, the work never ends. You're never off the clock, always working, wither on PR or creativity.
