I think novels are harder to write for the following reasons:
1. Novels' plots are generally longer and more complex.
2. You don't have to compete with other distractions for your audience's attention at a theater, as you do when someone buys a book.
3. You have to work more at descriptions and conveying emotion in a novel than in a movie, where the viewer simply sees everything.
4. Making a movie typically takes under two years. Novels can take twenty years to write.
5. A writer has to be all of the characters him/herself while a person making a movie has actors to do that.
6. A writer has to do almost all the other work on a novel alone while someone making a movie has many assistants and too many departments to count.
