PART 2 Note
I 'm talking about two different issues.One is craft,the other is attitude.The first is a question of mastering a precise skill.The second is a question of how you use that skill to express your personality.
Think of the other as a creative act:the expressing of who you are.Relax and say what you want to say.And since style is who you are,you only need to be ture to yourself to find it gradually emerging from under the accumulated clutter and debris,growing more distinctive every day.
培養(yǎng)一個(gè)技能，最好的辦法是先熟悉它再熟練運(yùn)用。今天的兩章節(jié)，我真正讀到的是—用寫作服務(wù)自己，表達(dá)自己，而后再去考慮語言運(yùn)用的藝術(shù)，不斷修改和完善，這才是真正的寫作。真正要做到這一點(diǎn)，應(yīng)該先學(xué)會放空自己的靈魂，再在腦海里簡單勾勒一個(gè)框架，整理出自己想要表達(dá)的東西，將其文字化。寫作能力絕對不是一天養(yǎng)成的，爭取每天都有所不一樣。我也希望自己每天都能有所不同，通過練習(xí)，我正一步一步整理出自己的寫作思路，從而形成自己的行文風(fēng)格，剛好這里就鏈接回昨天的章節(jié)Style了。
Make a habit of reading what is being written today and what was written by earlier masters.Writing is learned by imitation.
Also bear in mind，when you are choosing words and stringing them together，how they sound.This may seem absurd：readers read with their eyes.But in fact they hear what they arr reading far more than you realize.Therefore such matters as rhythm and alliteration are vital to every sentence.
