But I work harder now because I have so much more exposure. And actually the harder you work as a writer, the better you get at it. It’s like anything else. It’s a muscle you have to exercise. I write more now than ever.

Meaning of the quote

When you work hard at something, like writing, you get better at it over time. It's just like exercising a muscle in your body - the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. The more you write, the better you'll get. Even though Ron White is a comedian, not a writer, the same idea applies. The more you practice something, the better you'll become at it.
