Write for yourself, not for a perceived audience. If you do, you'll mostly fall flat on your face, because it's impossible to judge what people want. And you have to read. That's how you learn what is good writing and what is bad. Then the main thing is application. It's hard work.

  • -- Wilbur Smith 威尔伯·史密斯

为你自己而写,而不是为你的听众而写。如果你这样做了,你就会一败涂地,因为你无法判断人们想要什么。你必须阅读。这就是你如何学习什么是好的写作,什么是坏的。然后主要是应用。这是艰苦的工作。
