Tell HN:写作本身就有帮助
Tell HN: Writing helps
导读
一位 HN 用户分享:连续几个月压力缠身、状态低迷,直到打开记事本把心里所想写下来,才打破了“什么都做不了”的僵局,情绪也明显好转。帖子本身很短,但评论区补充了几套成熟做法——自由书写、晨间三页、每日字数定额——值得每个写作者读,因为它说明写作首先不是产出作品,而是整理头脑、恢复行动力的工具。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
先写再改:第一遍只管把念头落到纸上,不管语法和结构,想到哪写到哪,之后再回头重读、重写、整理结构。
- 02
把担心的事逐条写出来(做不完、对方没回邮件、还没写第一页),脑子就不必反复提醒你,焦虑会明显减少。
- 03
建立低门槛的每日写作习惯:手写三页意识流,或固定每日字数(如杰克·伦敦每天一千字成稿),让创作靠 routine(日常惯例)而不是靠灵感。
- 04
写作不必给别人看,你大概永远不会重读那些文字,它的价值在于清空头脑、把注意力还给真正要做的工作。
HN 评论精选
把想法和担忧外化到纸上,大脑就不必反复记忆和反刍,焦虑随之减轻;先记录、后整理结构。
给忙碌者的减压良方:写,把此刻想的原样写下来。开头会很难,尤其你不习惯写博客、文案或文章——没关系,先拿笔把字落在纸上,别管语法和结构,想到哪写到哪,目的是把每个想法抓下来。结构可以后补:重读一遍,再改写。我还有一个(尚待证明的)发现:想法一旦被写下,大脑就不再费劲去记它——既然随时能查到,何必花时间空间去索引?它只记住去哪里找。而且想法落在纸上后,就不会每隔几分钟冒出来烦你:下周一要交的项目不必每小时折磨你一次。把它写下来,把关于这个项目的所有担忧都写下来:可能做不完、包裹可能寄不到、Ken 太不靠谱、Tim 还没回邮件要不要再发、第一页都还没写却要写二十页、也许先写个提纲、这部分能不能外包……全写下来。

Guaranteed Stress Reliever for Busy People. Write. Write down exactly what you are thinking. It will probably be hard at first, especially if you are not used to blogging, creating copy, or writing essays. That's okay: start by just taking a pen and putting words down on paper. Do not worry about grammar or structure. Switch from point to point as they come to you. The purpose is to get each idea down on paper. Structure can come later: read it again and rewrite it. I have discovered, and I want to prove this but I do not yet know how, that when a person writes down an idea, the mind no longer stresses itself to remember that idea. This makes sense: why waste time and space indexing new information if it can just be looked up? Instead, your mind just remembers where to look. Moreover, because they are out of your mind, these ideas will not rise to your conscious thoughts every few minutes to worry you. That project you have due next Monday won't stress you out every hour. Write it down. Write down everything you worry about that project. I might not finish in time. The package might never show up. Ken is so unreliable. Tim hasn't answered my email yet, should I email him? I haven't written the first page yet, but I have to write 20. Maybe I can write an outline first. Can I outsource this part? Write it down, wr.... http://www.jperla.com/blog/post/guaranteed-stress-reliever-for-busy-people
晨间手写三页意识流,是清空头脑并重建每日创作习惯的练习。
讲创作者恢复创造力的经典书《创作者之路》(The Artist's Way) 开篇就提到“每日三页”:每天早晨手写三页,完全自由地意识流,把脑子里的东西倒出来,同时重新养成每日创作的习惯。写什么并不重要,你大概永远不会回头看,重要的是它对更大创作流的推动。

There's a legendary book for artists called The Artist's Way about getting back your creative mojo and one of the first things the author talks about is something called your daily pages. http://amzn.to/ieS49z She suggests starting every day writing 3 pages, by hand, totally freestyle stream of consciousness to help get stuff out of your head and get you back into the practice of daily creation. It's not about what you write, you probably will never revisit it, it's just about the impact it has on your bigger creative flow.
固定的每日字数定额看似枯燥,却正是创造力的来源。
读任何一位作家的“论写作”,他们都会提到自己每天必须写够多少字。我刚读完杰克·伦敦的,他每天要写一千字成稿。他写得很挣扎,但奇怪的是,他的创造力恰恰来自这种规律。推荐斯蒂芬·金的《论写作》、雷·布拉德伯里的《写作的禅机》和《海明威论写作》,都谈到写作的快乐与艰难,读完都让人想成为好作家。

Read any writer's "On writing" book and they all talk about a mandatory amount of words they have to write on a daily basis. I just finished Jack London's and he had to write a 1,000 (polished)words a day. He struggled with it, but strangely, his creativity came from his routine. I'd recommend Stephen King's "On Writing", Ray Bradbury "Zen and the Art of Writing", and "Ernest Hemingway on Writing". All have great insights into the joy and struggles of writing, but each on makes you want to be a great writer. Best of luck keeping it up!
每晚写日记记录情绪并放下,是简单有效的自我调节方式。
几个月前我也经历过类似的状态,后来发现了 OhLife:每天夜里写下自己的感受,然后就把它们放下。这感觉很好,人也轻松了不少。

I went through something like that some months ago. Then I discovered OhLife ( http://ohlife.com/ ). That's was the best I did, every night I write my feelings and forget then. It makes me feel better and less heavy.

不要想好再写,要写来思考
Don’t think to write, write to think
这篇短文主张不要把写作当成思考完成后的记录,而要把写作本身当作思考的工具:动笔的过程会逼出想不清楚的地方。

Writing Is Thinking: Learning to Write with Confidence
这是一篇讲“写作即思考”的博客:作者认为写作不是把想好的东西誊写出来,而是借助写作本身把想法想清楚,因此写作者应当建立信心、敢于先写烂稿。

How to think in writing
这篇文章讨论的是「用写作来思考」:作者认为写作不只是把想清楚的东西表达出来,更是想清楚本身的工具——文字落在纸上,你才有机会看见自己思路里的跳跃、含混和漏洞。

Write to Escape Your Default Setting
文章的核心主张就写在标题里:写作是帮你逃离「默认设置」的手段——日常的思维和表达都有惯性默认的默认模式,而落笔能逼你跳出来,重新看清自己到底在想什么、要说什么。
