最危险的写作应用
The Most Dangerous Writing App
导读
这是一款极端的写作工具：如果你停止打字几秒，之前写下的所有文字就会被清空。它把「不许停下来思考、不许回头修改」变成硬性规则，逼出未经自我审查的初稿。对写作者来说，它是一次关于初稿、自我审查和「写作即思考」的实验。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
给自己设一个「不能停」的硬约束（比如停笔几秒就清空），逼自己跳过自我审查，先把初稿冲出来。
- 02
把「写出好东西」的目标换成「不停手」的目标，先让想法成形，修改留给第二遍。
- 03
允许自己写下那些平常一定会被编辑掉的句子，它们往往才是推进文章时真正有用的材料。
- 04
先写，再想：很多想法只有在落笔的那一刻才存在，动笔本身就是思考。
HN 评论精选
在看不到、改不了的模式下，人会写得更乱，但也更敢一直往前冲。
我用硬核模式写这条评论：屏幕上的字完全是糊的，打错一个字几乎没法回头改；不过它似乎不看打字速度，所以打字快的人没那么难受。界面不错、性能也好，大概就是纯 JS 做的。我还想为什么没有打字机音效……（这大概就是尼采那种写作方式，问题是那个名字在没有反馈的时候实在太难拼了。）

3 minutes typing: This is me writing a comment for this app using hardcore mode which right now I realise is having the text co clompletely blurred and it is quite hard indeed I can barely come back a word if I write a type. Although it doesnt seem to be based onmy typing speed so I guess if you are good at typing it's not as bad as if you are bad at it. Well I don't what to say more than that the interface is nice and it seem to be quite performant, I wonder what sort of tehcnology they were using to do it? Just pure JS maybe, I mean it is not that complicated but the concept is interested. I What else should I say, I wish there was a little typewriter sound but then maybe it wouldn't be nice, or actually maybe it ithere but I just cannot see it because I don't have my headfphones on me. And by see it I mean har it because of course you do not see sounds except if you are like super high. This is probably how people like Nietwszhe write and what the fuck how hard is that name to write without feedback.
真正的风险是双重的：既怕丢稿，也因为怕丢稿而写下平常会被自己删掉的内容。
这应用到底危险在哪？是文档会丢，还是为了不丢文档，我会写太多、写错东西、走上那些平常本该被编辑掉的岔路？我怀疑真正的危险就在这儿，而且是双重的：一种危险是失去文字，另一种是拼命留住文字时写下的东西。

How dangerous is this app? I mean how much time does it give me? Is the danger that my document will be lost, or that in attempting not to let that happen I will write too much. I will write the wrong thing. I will go down paths which are meant not to be followed, ordinarily edited out of existence. This is the danger, I suspect. But the other is also. It is a double danger. This double danger models a double danger in other areas. It is perhaps a fundamental mode of danger. Dangerness. The fear of a thing which both prevents or enables, complementarily. How does that work? What are examples? Can we name a time the fear has positively (we posit) prevented manifestation? Certainly. In general, it is socially unacceptable to analyze or look too deeply past the constructs which supposedly shield prying eyes from the conclusions which would be evident if the components were scrutinized. China Miéville explores this exquisitely in The City and The City. There citizens of two nearly colocated cities 'unsee' the other by law. Likewise, we ordinarily must unsee what is meant to be unseen. The danger then is that our unseeing be threatened by the possiblity that we lose sight altogether. Backed into a corner and forced to confront complete unsight, we restrain the restrainer. We disassemble the governor so we do not accidentally edit ourselves out of existence. Through abolition of constraint we cross over into conceptual indecency.
在压力下的即时输出说明：写作过程本身就是思考，先写下来才能看清自己到底在想什么。
第二次尝试的现场产出：「很快我就会掌握这个。很快我就能让想法自然流出。……我怀疑词与词之间为什么有摩擦，我怀疑头脑里的想法为什么不像我在心里看到的那样落成文字。我脑中的想法真的存在吗，还是只是幻觉？如果没被说出来，想法还重要吗？我是个作家。我是作家，因为我写。」——我觉得写出来还行。

Second attempt. === Soon, I will master this. Soon, I will be able to just let my ideas flow. Soon there will be no need for huge edits while typing. Soon there will be shape in the words as they come out. Maybe I should just delete the words myself and start over. Or may I should just let the words be even if I don't like them. Soon, I will master this. Soon, I will be able to not stop. Soon, I will be able to say what's really on my mind. I wonder why there is friction between the words. I wonder why the ideas in my head does not get reflected into words as I see them inside me. Is it really true that I have ideas in me, or is it just an illusion? Why are so many of the things I think I'm thinking about don't really just come out once I start trying to record them? Do my ideas really exist? Or am I just imagining having them? Do ideas matter if they are not told? Even to oneself? Soon, I will get the answer to these questions. Soon, I will master this. Soon, I will survive the grueling task of coming up with ideas. I am a writer. I am a writer because I write. I could write without having to think first. My ideas will just come right out of me into words. My ideas are real. Soon, I will master the art of coming up with ideas. === I think it came out kind of alright.
