You don't start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it's good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That's why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.

  • -- Octavia E. Butler 奥克塔维亚·E·巴特勒

你一开始写不好东西。你一开始写的都是废话,你认为这是好东西,然后渐渐地你就能写得更好了。这就是为什么我说最宝贵的品质之一是坚持。
