Writing is different from finding out who you are, what you have to say is what others have to say, and how to express it with the strongest words.

The focus of writing is to think deeply, communicate with readers, entertain, and exchange your insights.

The purpose of writing is to find the truth. Whether you are doing it or not, whether you are writing thrillers, detective stories, kid comedies, or picture books. Something truly resonates and will force your work, and it will be worth reading all the time you spend a lot of money.

The writer is neither an expert nor a salesman in marketing. Almost all writers need these qualities, but remember that writing is very important.

This means wearing an eye mask and ignoring the noise of the world. This means you do not think about success when you should think about the truth. Or at least - about stories, roles, or your books will say something never mentioned before

When you sit down and write down the "summary to be sold", think about the real point of writing. Or spend several hours a day "Create your own profile" on Twitter. Or, when you ruined the morning, compulsively check your Amazon rankings

To impede her view, the author perfectly understands what most people may have heard, like Gladwell's 10,000 hour principle. They also insist on talented people, "writing is an innate job". I feel like someone preaches from the cliffs. These cliffs are the destiny you suffer if you choose to engage in the writing career, how hard it is to reach the peak of knowledge of regeneration - hunger and loneliness. (Well, I took up another part, but that added a drama.) I understand. "You should not begin writing unless the skin is rough with this type of depreciation or at least a little sarcastic from the article." But there are a lot of people to breathe in with this passion. Shaking, I should make this dream come true. And for those who are discouraged, they are the flames of killing and depriving the real burning opportunity.

What is the meaning of exposing yourself? What is the meaning of writing? I do not understand well yet. I know something unpleasant: I hate the most writing, but it is a sweet illness (heartache, broken heart, etc.). At Wonder Boys of Michael Chabon, he talked about 'sickness at midnight' - I am dedicated. I hate to write, but sometimes it is the only thing that makes sense. Ella Glass (my love) talks about creativity and frustration when your hobby goes far beyond the quality of the work you create. It's a place. So I write, I am hoping that one day I agree with the place I want my work.
