A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
写作
Writing
I like writing letters and receiving letters. It's a shame that we've lost the art of letter-writing and saving correspondence. I mourn that.
我喜欢写信和收信。真遗憾，我们失去了写信和保存信件的艺术。我哀悼。
A prose writer gets tired of writing prose, and wants to be a poet. So he begins every line with a capital letter, and keeps on writing prose.
散文作家厌倦了写散文，想成为一名诗人。所以他每一行都以大写字母开头，然后继续写散文。
I don't want my writing to be so unique that when you apply it to different genres, it seems like the previous show that people know you from.
我不希望我的作品太独特，以至于当你把它应用到不同的体裁时，它看起来就像人们从以前的节目中认识你一样。
I felt that I had to write. Even if I had never been published, I knew that I would go on writing, enjoying it and experiencing the challenge.
我觉得我必须写作。即使我从未发表过作品，我也知道我会继续写作，享受写作，体验挑战。
It really wasn't until I was in college when I began to write more and more, and I realized I was scheduling my entire life around my writing.
直到上了大学，我才开始写越来越多的东西，我意识到我的整个人生都是围绕着写作来安排的。
Words are contact with other beings. I see a word that says something I've noticed, seen, felt, obserevd, and I capture it; "I need that word!"
语言是与其他生命的联系。我看到一个词，它说的是我注意到的、看到的、感觉到的、观察到的东西，我把它捕捉下来;“我需要那个词!”
Meditation needs no results. Meditation can have itself as an end, I meditate without words and on nothingness. What tangles my life is writing.
冥想不需要结果。冥想本身可以作为一个目的，我冥想没有语言和虚无。困扰我一生的是写作。
Words are but the vague shadows of the volumes we mean. Little audible links, they are, chaining together great inaudible feelings and purposes.
文字不过是我们所要表达的内容的模糊的影子。它们是微小的听觉联系，把伟大的、听不见的情感和目的连接在一起。
The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible.
书页仍然是空白的，但有一种神奇的感觉，文字就在那里，用看不见的墨水写着，大声疾呼着要显现出来。
The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof shit detector. This is the writer's radar and all great writers have had it.
对于一个好的作家来说，最重要的礼物就是一个内置的防震狗屎探测器。这是作家的雷达，所有伟大的作家都有。
Every word Martone sets down, finally, a choice that limits the universe, their trail across the page a fossil record of some life's life-story.
最后，马托内的每一个字都写下了一个限制宇宙的选择，它们在书页上的轨迹是一些生命生命故事的化石记录。
One can be absolutely truthful and sincere even though admittedly the most outrageous liar. Fiction and invention are of the very fabric of life.
一个人可以是绝对真实和真诚的，即使公认的最无耻的骗子。小说和发明是生活的基本组成部分。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
A good story should provoke discussion, debate, argument...and the occasional bar fight.
一个好的故事应该引发讨论、辩论、辩论……偶尔的酒吧斗殴。
I am the author of my life. Unfortunately I'm writing in pen and I can't erase my mistakes.
我是我生命的作者。不幸的是，我用钢笔写，我不能抹去我的错误。
I never desire to converse with a man who has written more than he has read.
我从来不想和一个写得比读得多的人交谈。
The writing process, the way I go about it is I do whatever the beat feels like, whatever the beat is telling me to do. Usually when the beat comes on, I think of a hook or the subject I want to rap about almost instantly. Within four, eight bars of it playing I'm just like, 'Oh, OK. This is what I wanna do'.
写作的过程，我做事的方式是我做任何节拍的感觉，任何节拍告诉我要做的。通常，当节拍响起时，我几乎会立刻想到一个钩子或我想要说唱的主题。在四到八小节的演奏中，我就像，‘哦，好吧。这就是我想做的。
I get a fine warm feeling when I'm doing well, but that pleasure is pretty much negated by the pain of getting started each day. Let's face it, writing is hell.
当我做得很好的时候，我有一种很好的温暖的感觉，但是这种快乐被每天开始的痛苦抵消了。让我们面对现实吧，写作是地狱。
