When people start writing there is this idea that you have to get everything right first time, every sentence has to be perfect, every paragraph has to be perfect, every chapter has to be perfect, but what you're doing is not any kind of public show, until you're ready for it.

  • -- Irvine Welsh 威尔士

当人们开始写有这个想法,你必须把一切正确的第一次,每一句话都必须是完美的,每一段必须是完美的,每一章必须是完美的,但你所做的不是任何形式的公开展示,直到你准备好。
