关上门。写作时不要让别人看着你的肩膀。不要试图弄清楚别人想从你这里听到什么；弄清楚你要说什么。这是你唯一能提供的东西。
Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer.
我不是一个喜欢被忽视的人。
The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
A novel is a mirror walking along a main road.
"What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness."
