Hack writer

Okay kiddo, so a "hack writer" is someone who writes a lot of stuff but maybe not very well. It's like if you draw a picture really quickly but it doesn't look very good because you didn't take the time to do a good job.

Sometimes, people use the term "hack writer" to describe someone who writes a lot of things just to make money, even if the things they write aren't very good. It's like if someone just drew a bunch of pictures of Spiderman because they knew people liked him, but the pictures weren't very good or creative.

Basically, a hack writer is someone who writes a lot but maybe doesn't put in the effort to make their writing great. It's important to remember that you should always try your best and take the time to do things well, even if it takes longer or feels harder.
