作家们的写作小屋
Writers' Writing Sheds
导读
这篇帖子介绍了几位著名作家、作曲家为自己搭建的简易写作小屋，从木棚、湖边小屋到花园工具房。值得写作者读的是：它把"换个空间"变成一种具体的写作方法——一个只做一件事的小屋，能显著提升专注和产出。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
给自己划出一个只用于写作的物理空间，哪怕只是改造过的储物棚，让"进入这个空间"成为开始写作的开关。
- 02
这个空间不必舒适豪华，关键是隔绝日常噪音和家务往来，萧伯纳的小屋有电、有暖气、有床和电话，说明"能长时间待住"比"清苦"更重要。
- 03
用单一用途强化专注：这个空间只写东西、不做别的，让专注变成环境带来的习惯而非意志力。
- 04
搭建成本可以很低，有人花约 200 美元、两个周末改造旧工具棚就换来产量飙升，先动手做最小版本，不必等条件完美。

历史上的作家与作曲家普遍主动为自己造一个远离日常噪音的专注空间。
我也喜欢这种小棚子，再补充几个例子。哲学家蒯因的父亲给自己搭了个他称为"小棚"的地方，尽量远离家里的吵闹，好安心工作又不打扰孩子和朋友来来往往；棚里没接电，天黑或天气不好时就点上煤油灯继续敲打字机。作曲家彼得松-贝里在岛上亲手建的"夏屋"里写温暖的抒情钢琴曲；瑞典住房大臣 1979 年修改建筑法规，豁免 15 平方米以下的建筑，于是涌现出一批被称为"friggebod"的极简小屋；马勒在湖边建了小小的作曲屋；卡帕多西亚的拜占庭洞穴修道院、爱尔兰海岸峭壁上的石砌蜂巢小屋，都是修士为静修而造的；维特根斯坦在挪威建了间小屋做哲学；武满彻也曾住进谷仓以便专注创作。

I love shacks, too. Here are more good ones. Willard Van Orman Quine - "Dad built himself a small "shack" as he called it to be as far away from the family noise as possible. That way he could work to his heart's content and not interfere with the noisy comings and goings of the likes of my brother and me and our friends. It was not wired for electricity, so when it was late or dark or stormy, he would light his kerosene lanterns and keep pounding away on his typewriter." Wilhelm Peterson-Berger - Wrote warm, lyrical piano songs called Frösöblomster in a rustic house called "Sommarhagen" that he built on the island of Frösö. Birgit Friggebo - In 1979 this Swedish Housing Minister changed the building codes to exempt structures under 15 square meters. Minimalist cabins ensued and are called "friggebods." Gustav Mahler - Built a tiny composition house or "Komponierhäuschen" at the edge of a lake. Cave Monasteries of Byzantine Cappadocia - VERY rudimentary, created by orthodox monks seeking Hesychasm. Skellig Michael clocháns - beehive dwellings made of piled stones used by monks on cliffs on an island off of Ireland. Ludwig Wittgenstein - built a cabin in Skjolden Norway in which to do his uncompromising philosophy. There are pictures and details of this cabin in the book "Ludwig Wittenstein: There where you are not." Toru Takemitsu - Wrote haiku-like music blending Eastern sensibilities with Western instruments. He lived in a barn for a time to better focus on composition. пустынь - In English, poustinia. A small, sparsely furnished cabin for solitary (generally religious) retreats. Dick Proenneke - Filmed himself building a cabin in Alaska in the movie "Alone in the Wilderness." He's pretty amazing. Ryōkan Taigu - A buddhist monk who left the monastery to live in a hut outside of town. He wrote poems about his daily life and his shack. Ted Kaczynski - Aka The Unabomber. Before he snapped he was a mathematician studying complex analysis. Built a tiny cabin in Montana which he filled with books and supplies.
动手自建写作空间有可操作的入门路径。
如果你是程序员或写作者（或者两者都是），又恰好有个后院、喜欢动手，为什么不自己建一个？这里有一本讲 DIY 花园办公室的书（我本人是出版方 Leanpub 的联合创始人，书还在写作中，目前 65 页）。

If you are a coder or writer (or both!) who is lucky enough to have a backyard and likes building things, why not build your own: https://leanpub.com/diygardenoffice Disclaimer: this book is a work in-progress [there are currently 65 pages], and I'm the cofounder of Leanpub, where it is published...
低成本改造旧棚子就能显著提升产出，核心是空间的单一用途。
我最近给女朋友做了这件事：花约 200 美元、两个周末，把旧的园艺工具棚改造成她的电影配乐和声音设计工作室。她从屋里搬到工作室后，产量肉眼可见地飙升。我认为关键在于：一个舒适、单一用途的空间带来的单一专注。

I recently did this for my girlfriend, for about $200 and two weekends we converted an old garden tool shed into her film scoring and sound design studio. I can see her productivity skyrocket when she went from working in the house to working out in the studio. I really think it is about a single focus in a cozy space that has a single purpose.
写作小屋不必清苦，能让人长时间舒适待住才实用。
巧的是我今天刚参观了萧伯纳的"写作小屋"。他的故居现在是国民信托的博物馆"萧氏角"。我注意到他的小屋里有电、有暖气、有床还有电话，相当现代！

By coincidence I just visited George Bernard Shaw's "writing hut" today. His house is now a National Trust museum called Shaw's Corner. I noticed that his hut had electricity, heating, a bed and a telephone -- pretty modern! http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/shaws-corner/

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。

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。
