个保持每天写作的理由
The
written
word
is
a
part
of
every
day
life.
At
its
most
basic, writing is a way of
communicating.
文字是每天生活的一部分。
从最基本 的方面讲，
写作是一种沟
通方式。
This is the one inalienable
characteristic of writing
itself,
whether you
’
re communicating with a colleague or
friend or
you
’
re actually communicating with yourself
–
though a
shopping list, for instance.
这是写作本身一个不
可分割的特点，
无论你是和同事沟通、
和
朋友沟通亦或是
和你自己沟通——例如列一张购物清单。
Aside from the
fact that writing
is
an inescapable part
of
every
day
life,
there
are
many
good
reasons
you
should
make
a
good session of writing part of your daily
routine, even if
it
’
s just a few hundred words. You don
’
t have to be a pro
to reap the benefits
of creating the written word.
除了写作是每天生
活中不可避免的活动这一事实，
有很多好的
理由让写作成为你每天生活的
一部分，
即使只是写百十来字。
你不必
成为一个职业的写
手来从写作中获利。
1. Remove
stress from mind, place on paper
1.
放下思想的包袱，摆好纸张
Writing can be therapeutic.
It can be a way to vent all
the pent-up
frustrations burdening your mind into a far less
volatile form, paper (or
screen). You can address your anger,
fear,
worry
and stress
without
bludgeoning
the
person
who
embodies those
emotions for you with a paperweight.
写
作可以是个内科医生。
它可以是一种用来把你思想上压抑很
久的负担宣泄
到很容易缓解的程度的方法，
写在纸上
（或输出到屏幕
上
）
。你可以把你的愤怒、恐惧、焦虑和压力写出来而不必用镇纸对
带给你
这些情绪影响的人大打出手。
Writing can serve as a form of
cathartic stress relief
where you
finally get to say what you can
’
t say out loud, in
real life. Just
don
’
t let your vented feelings get into the
wrong
hands,
or
you
may
end
up
paying
some
pretty
hefty
blackmail cash.
写作可以作为一种宣泄压力的形式，
你可以说出你不能大声在
现实生
活中想说的东西。只是不要让你宣泄的感情被错误的人利用，
否则你可能需要付出巨大的
代价来结束它。
2. Sweep
Your Mind
2.
梳理你的头脑
A daily writing habit gives
you regular time to sweep
your
mind
for
forgotten
tasks
and
ideas
that
have
been
fermenting in
the back of your head without your knowledge.
It allows you to take the unordered
thoughts floating around
your
head
like
lost
puppies
in
zero
gravity,
and
turn
them
into
ordered plans and actions.
每天的写作习惯让你有规律的时间来对你的大脑进行梳理，
对
那些忘在脑
后的任务和想法进行梳理。
它能使你让那些无序的想法在
你闹钟无重力的
天马行空，让这些想法成为有序的计划和行动。
This
is
the
fundamental
principle
that
the
mindsweep
and
weekly review are based on: getting
everything you can think
of out of your
head, and into a written format. This simple
process
can
save
your
life
when
things
are
getting
overwhelming
and complicated.
这是基本的原则，
即大脑梳理和每周回顾的依据是：
想方设法
获得你的大脑能想
到的一切东西，
让他们付诸与书面的形式。
当事情
变得十
分艰巨和复杂时，这个简单的过程可以节约你宝贵的时间。
3. Keep Your Writing Skills Sharp
3.
保持你的笔锋
Write
every
day
to
keep
your
skill
with
the
written
word
sharp. Like any skill, the ability to
communicate clearly,
concisely and
aesthetically degrades without practice. As a
result, many
people who don
’
t write regularly can freeze up,
lost
for
words,
on
something
so
simple
as
an
to
a
friend.
每天写作以保持你用词准确的写作技巧。像其他的技
能一样，
能让沟通清楚、
简洁和美观的能力也会下降，
如 果你练习的话。
因此，
那些不经常写作的人会出现头脑空白，
即使是给朋友写一
封
这么简单的事情上。
Writing every day, even in a stream-of-
consciousness,
unedited
format
will
maintain
and
gradually
improve
your
writing skills, and since dealing with
the written word is a
fundamental part
of daily modern life, there
’
s nothing bad
about that.
每天写
作，
即使是意识流，
没有经过修改过的形式也会保持和
逐
步提高你的写作技巧，
而现在处理文字已经是现代生活的基本组成
部分的
时代，常常写作也没有什么坏处。
4.
Make Some Pocket Money
4.
赚些零花钱
If you
’
re not a professional writer, pocket money is
probably all you
’
ll ever want to earn from your words. But
if
you
’
ve got a knack for it and just had a great dinner at
a new restaurant
and written about it for your daily pages,
then isn
’
t it better to have a shot at getting that review
published
instead
of
letting
the
piece
do
absolutely
nothing?
如果你不
是一位专业的作家，
零花钱可能是你最想从你的文字
中赚取的了。
但是，
如果你有诀窍，
如刚刚在一个新的餐厅吃了个午
< br>饭，
然后像往常一样把它写下来，
那么是不是让它成为一个出版的作
品比让它什么都不是来的更好呢？
These days, it
’
s easy to submit to many publications
without
spending considerable time and money doing so.
While
you
’
re unlikely to get too many bites without a good track
record as a writer, it
’
s certainly easy enough to be worth
the
effort, and your wallet will be pleased.
< br>如今，
你可以很容易提交到许多出版物上而不必花费大量的时
间和
金钱。
虽然你不太可能像有良好记录的作家那样得到太多的关注，
但至少
很容易让你的付出得到回报，相信你的钱包是十分高兴的。
5. Turn the Noise Off
5.
远离噪音
Get
away
from
the
constant
low-quality
input
and
output
systems
of
day-to-day
life,
such
as
meaningless
small-talk
and
weather
conversations, text messaging, Twitter, checking
the
mailbox, and most email and many
websites. You receive and
create
barrages of useless distractions that
don
’
t help you
or
the
people
you
know;
sitting
down
to
write
lets
you
get
away
from it all.
远离这种持续的低质量的输入输
出系统般的生活，
如无意义闲
谈和关于天气的交流，发短信、
，查看邮箱，邮件和很多网
站。
你接 收了大量无用的干扰，
既无益与你也无益于你认识的人；
静
下心来写作让你远离他们。
