书籍介绍
这本书最打动人的地方,是它把写作从'等待灵感'的玄学,还原成一件可以每天动手的体力活。作者的核心主张近乎冒犯:写作不是思考的结果,而是思考的起点——先写出来,想法才会慢慢浮现。它给写作者的,与其说是华丽技巧,不如说是一套对抗拖延与自我怀疑的'操作规程':每天写、目标定小、卡住就继续写,甚至允许自己'起低尾高',先写成烂稿再修剪。书中独创的U形曲线结构法,被读者形容为'读出了音乐分析的感觉',让抽象的论证有了节奏与呼吸。它尤其适合那些写学位论文、长期卡壳、却被'写得不够好'的羞耻感困住的读者——它不教你写出杰作,只帮你把第一页写完。

精彩摘录
  • "Together, these pieces of advice guide you toward an understanding of writing as an extensively lived practice governed by (and governing in turn) a wide variety of behaviors, attitudes, institutional patterns, and personal and social regimes."
  • "1. Write daily. Another advantage of writing to a rule each day is that it frees you, psychologically, from one of the more difficult forms of anxiety in our profession: not knowing when it’s ok to not be writing."
  • "2. Make small goals and meet them. 3. When you’re stuck, keep writing. 4. Avoid virtuous procrastination. Your dissertation is not, you should hope, your only book and certainly not your best book; it’s not even, or not exactly, your first book."
  • "5. Make fear an ally. 6. Start poor, finish rich. you should not, and cannot afford to, worry about concision when you are just starting to write."
  • "The lie that you tell yourself as a form of self-denial will be the hardest to see as a lie."
  • "Similarly for writing: the time to worry about concision comes when you can afford it. Cutting ten pages from a twenty-page manuscript is a disaster; cutting fifty pages from a 210-page manuscript no big deal. If you cut and prune too early, you’ll slow yourself down (and run the risk of not meeting"
  • "7. Treat revision (and even research) as writing."
  • "8. Take this advice!"
