Reflection
作者提到蛉鹿，在寫(xiě)作中要從大量繁雜、凌亂的信息中提煉出關(guān)鍵和核心的寫(xiě)作內(nèi)容往湿，并且要條理清晰地表述出來(lái)妖异。這就需要寫(xiě)作的人想清楚寫(xiě)作內(nèi)容惋戏，要知道自己想寫(xiě)什么和怎么寫(xiě)，傳達(dá)正確的價(jià)值觀(guān)他膳。
Writing is related to? character. If your values are sound, your writing will be sound. It all? begins with intention. Figure out what you want to doand how you want to do it, and work your way with humanity and integrity to the completed article.
作者還提到了寫(xiě)作中尤其重要的兩點(diǎn)思想One is quest, the? other is intention.The quest is one of the oldest themes in storytelling, an act of faith we never get tired of hearing about.?
Intention is what we wish to accomplish with our writing. Call it the writer’s soul. We can write to affirm and to celebrate, or we can write todebunk and to destroy; the choice is ours. 我們的作品既要表達(dá)相應(yīng)的主題响逢，更要傳遞思想，這是作者的靈魂矩乐，文章要形神一體龄句，至于具體要表現(xiàn)的東西，這就是作者自己的選擇了散罕，這也是寫(xiě)作中必不可少的思考的過(guò)程分歇。
