Book Title: Stanford University Writing Class
By Wallace Stegner / Wallace Stegner
Translator: Yang Ke
Publisher: Houlang 丨 Elephant Press
This little book was read in one breath, about two hours, and a lot of golden sentences were sketched, the kind that I wanted to memorize.
After reading it, I felt like I really took 8 writing lessons, or Stanford's creative writing class teacher, too earning.
The main content of the book is presented in the form of questions and answers, really like a class, like a return to a university journalism writing class, but I did not cherish it at the beginning.
[Q: There is a saying that is often quoted – as a writer, adherence to work systems or routines is a necessary act of self-discipline. What is your observation on this?
A: The stupid work that is indispensable to writing: you have to throw yourself into a prison, staring at the typewriter by the wall for four or five hours a day, seven days a week, without a day of rest. Six days is not enough, five days is not enough - three days of fishing and two days of drying nets is not enough. ］
The content of the whole book is like this answer, calm, calm, and simple.
Although this book does not talk about writing routines and specific writing methods, it is indeed worth reading for every bystander who is interested in writing, and let's listen to stanford University's writing class.
