For me growing up the downside of it was that as a kid you don't want to stand out. You don't want to have a famous father let alone get a job because of your famous father you know? But I'm a product of nepotism. That's how I got my foot in the door through my dad.
I find writing very difficult. It's hard and it hurts sometimes and it's scary because of the fear of failure and the very unpleasant feeling that you may have reached the limit of your abilities.
