Read, read, read. Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.

It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.

唯一能把我拉下来的人就是我自己，我不会再让自己把自己拉下来了。
