To determine which sentence is correctly punctuated, we need to understand the rules for using punctuation marks in this context. In this case, we are dealing with two independent clauses connected by a conjunction, "writing is hard."
Option 1: "I always have a difficult time choosing a topic. Writing is hard!"
This option uses a period (full stop) to separate the two independent clauses. This is a correct way to punctuate the sentence.
Option 2: "I always have a difficult time choosing a topic; writing is hard!"
This option uses a semicolon to separate the two independent clauses. Using a semicolon to separate two closely related independent clauses is also correct.
Therefore, both Option 1 and Option 2 are correct, so the correct answer is "All of the above."
