PART ONE THOUGHTS
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 do and how you want to do it, and work your way with humanity and integrity to the completed article. Then you’ll have something to sell.
寫作者的意圖是很重要的衡怀,如果你的價(jià)值值得傾聽(tīng)五督,那么寫作亦然.找到你想寫的拆又,帶有人文情懷和誠(chéng)實(shí)去完成佩谣。
作者在一開(kāi)頭就提及對(duì)對(duì)結(jié)果的癡迷會(huì)導(dǎo)致影響寫作的風(fēng)格盖灸、形式和內(nèi)容均驶。在美國(guó)有種注重結(jié)果的風(fēng)氣郑口。教練是為了贏才聘用的颓影,教師是為了教出高分的學(xué)生而存在的各淀。但是注重結(jié)果卻非過(guò)程,想著如何賣出產(chǎn)品是不對(duì)的诡挂,是金子總會(huì)發(fā)光的碎浇。Zinsser提到放松,尤其是學(xué)校布置的作業(yè)設(shè)置了deadline璃俗,要放松和享受思考不同的方式去尋求自己想要的奴璃。
