Reader comments
This book is like a kind mentor, unveiling the mystery of the writer for us. It tells us that writing is not a patent for genius, but a skill that can be mastered through learning and practice. I was deeply inspired by some of the ideas in the book, such as "Writers can be cultivated." I also particularly like the content in the book on how to discover materials and improve writing skills, which is very practical. As the book says: "Believe in yourself, you can also become a writer
This book was published in 1934 and became popular in the American literary world. It has remained popular for more than 80 years. After reading it, I felt what a classic is. If it weren't for the time when the book was published, I would have thought it was a book published by contemporary people, because even now when we read it, we don't feel inconsistent. This shows that for writing, the path and feeling are the same at all times and in all countries. Many of the ideas and opinions in it were already my own before I read them, and the consistency was verified later in the book. It's very inspiring. The more we enter the AI era, the more we need to concentrate on polishing our writing. Such stupid kung fu is the smart thing to do.
Learn techniques and routines first (X) Get to know yourself first, then cultivate the soul of a writer (√)
This book is not a traditional writing skills book. It is more about solving various psychological problems in writing and how to embark on the road of "genius". I think the most commendable thing about her is that she not only teaches how to do things but also how to be a good person.
Reading this book feels like a spring breeze
A good book that allows you to consider issues from a writer's perspective and master the writing methods and processes. It will benefit you a lot. Thank you, author!
This book helps people understand how artists work and how to cooperate with their own unconsciousness to reach a higher level!
There are many novels marked in the book that you can learn from.
Paragraph repetition needs improvement
To be honest, this alone deserves five stars!
If you are a beginner in writing, just read each sentence carefully.
Genius cannot be taught, it can be trained
I originally wanted to give it three stars, because the author obviously spent a lot of time writing just to make money, and the author has very strong writing skills. Four stars because he really said something useful.
Very well spoken, a necessary quality for a professional writer
This is really a treasure book that a writer should have. I highly recommend it!
