书籍介绍
这本书最尖锐的判断是：你对写作的认知多半是有害的。作者把'流畅''灵感''天才''真诚'这些被奉为圭臬的概念，斥为写作路上最具破坏性的迷思，并主张放弃'文思泉涌'的幻想——写作本就该是抓耳挠腮、吃力艰难的事。它不提供成体系的写作理论，而是把'写作'与'修改'视为同一件事：在落笔处修订，在修订处思考，不写任何草稿句。读者反复提及的，正是这种'写句子即思考'的纪律感——它像做研究，需要一点一点前进的勇气。它适合那些被'写不出来'的愧疚困扰、愿意直面自我、把每个句子都当作可删可改的选项来对待的人。

精彩摘录
- "So why not gice up the idea of flow and accept the basic truth about writing? It's hard work, and it's been hard work for everyone all along. There's a good reason to believe this, apart from the fact that it's true. If you think that writing- the act of composition- should flow, and it doesn't, wha"
- "Concentration, attention, excitement, will be part of your working state. Daily. Flow, inspiration- the spontaneous emission of sentences- will not. That distinction is worth keeping in mind. Write consciously, deliberately. Learn how to get out of trouble. Learn how to free yourself when you're stu"
- "Revise at the point of composition. Compost at the point of revision. Accept no provisional sentences. Make no drafts And no draft sentences. Bring the sentence you're working on as close to its final state as you can Before you write it down and after. Do the same for the next sentence And right on"
- "You have no idea what you're going to say Until you discover what you want to say As you make the sentences that say it. Every sentence is optional until it proves otherwise. Writing is the work of discovery."
用户评论
两天共用了2个半小时读完，作者言简意赅，排版也基本是一句话一行，阅读感受极好。
作者的写作理念也值得思考，flow 是读者的事，创作者应该是抓耳挠腮的，在直面自我中，写出、审视、删减一个个句子，承受创作的苦。
写出的自己真实想法的句子，才会带着感染力，但自己都不信任自己所写，自己都不不被吸引，又怎么能求读者投入你写的文字中去呢？
感觉UU的文字和书中描述很像，多短句， 且凝练。
这本书我要读第二遍，这周内及时整理读书笔记，再找些作者写的东西来读。

全书的形式和内容都只在传递一个信息——使用短句子进行英文写作。但太过刻意也是不好，还是像其它书里说的那样，长短搭配着用，更合适。
后面的troubleshooting部分不错。But this is something I happen to notice.. 所以说到有好品质的读者都是she, her，坏读者都是He, his, him，什么鬼...
文本不炫技，本朴素大方词汇量低人士的福音……
