具体描述
Describes a writer's temperament and how to develop a writer's habits, originality, and insight, imitate exemplary works, read critically, and overcome writing difficulties. This guide to becoming a writer was originally published in 1934. It focuses not just on plotting techniques or prose style, but on the process of developing the habits and discipline of a writer, with beating writer's block, reading to improve one's writing and other psychological techniques. Refreshingly slim, beautifully written and deliciously elegant, Dorothea Brande's BECOMING A WRITER remains evergreen decades after it was first written. Brande believed passionately that although people have varying amounts of talent, anyone can write. It's just a question of finding the "writer's magic" - a degree of which is in us all. She also insists that writing can be both taught and learned. So she is enraged by the pessimistic authors of so many writing books who rejoice in trying to put off the aspiring writer by constantly stressing how difficult it all is. With close reference to the great writers of her day - Wolfe, Forster, Wharton and so on - Brande gives practical but inspirational advice about finding the right time of day to write and being very self disciplined about it - "You have decided to write at four o'clock, and at four o'clock you must write." She's strong on confidence building and there's a lot about cheating your unconscious which will constantly try to stop you writing by coming up with excuses. Then there are exercises to help you get into the right frame of mind and to build up writing stamina.

评分读《成为作家》， 体会作家们的休闲， 不是阅读。 阅读或者任何涉及言语文字的事件， 比如与人聊天， 阅读， 参观博物馆或画展， 等等， 都会减弱作家写作的渴望。 最好是， 自己的爱好， 如编织， 公园里的沉思， 钓鱼， 削木头，等等。 （而不是创作木雕或木刻作品，是吗？我...
评分这种作者还不具备足够的自信，不相信自己能把故事写好；或者他没有经验，不知道他的人物在现实生活中会如何行动；或者他太害羞了，不能够全面充分地、满怀激情地面对现实人生，而这恰恰是一个作家在进行创作时应有的态度。如果一个作家接连写出来一个又一个单薄的、拘谨的、情...
评分《成为作家》是一本培养“人”的书，这让它与众不同。讲写作的书无外乎两个路子——针对作品或针对作家，前者传授具体的“形式”和“技巧”，可以直接拿来作为搭建作品的施工图；后者则容易教人觉得“玄乎”，因为它需要一个内化的过程，再由内而外最终“成为作家”。这是...
