具體描述
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.

讀後感
《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...
評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...
評分 評分这本书对于从来没有写过书、缺少写作经验的书可能有用，因为已经出过几本书，大部分内容对我来说意义不大，不过也由于一向写作的书是专业书籍，在文学类方面还少，所以，像作家一样观察和养成写作习惯这部分，对我有参考价值。 特别认同其中所说的，要保有孩子一样的天性和敏...
