Simplified Meaning:

Good writing takes a lot of effort and concentration, just like swimming underwater. When you swim underwater, you need to hold your breath and focus on reaching your goal before coming up for air. In the same way, writing well means diving deep into your thoughts and ideas, staying committed, and not stopping until you have expressed what you want to say clearly and beautifully. Imagine a painter working on a detailed piece. They get so absorbed in their work that they temporarily forget about everything else around them. They don’t take breaks and become fully involved in bringing their vision to life. This dedication and focus make their painting exceptional. For a writer, it's about getting deeply invested in the writing process and staying mentally submerged until their work is polished and complete. To use this advice, when you write, try to immerse yourself fully in what you're doing. Shut out distractions, stay focused, and keep pushing through until you've conveyed your message or story in the best way you can. This level of engagement will make your writing stronger and more impactful.
