每天都写
Write every day
导读
这篇博文主张把“每天写作”当成日常练习，而不是等到有灵感才动笔。它值得写作者读，是因为它把写作从“产出”还原成一种思考与记忆的训练；下面的讨论则提醒我们，别让日更变成新的焦虑来源，也别把字数当成目标。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
把写作当成每日练习而非灵感事件：先保证每天动笔，再谈质量。
- 02
追求字数没有意义，用尽量少的词把想法讲清楚，是对读者时间的尊重。
- 03
用写作来学习：把读到的内容写成文章并相互链接，记忆和 recall 会明显变好。
- 04
如果公开日更让你有压力，可以分主题、分平台写，先为自己写而不是为读者写。

别把每日写作变成又一项制造焦虑的生产力指标。
每天写代码、给开源项目做贡献、每天写 N 个词、每天读书、锻炼、学新技能、经营个人形象、社交、旅行——这些“有产出”的事多到没有尽头，每一件都触手可及，于是只要我没在做，就觉得自己在浪费宝贵时间；甚至正在读书时，也会觉得去做那个小游戏会更“高效”。别人五个月写了四万字、十八岁写了个内核、github 连续打卡 365 天、骑车穿越印度……真希望能有一种简单的方法，让人在看到别人的成就时不感到内疚。

Code everyday, contribute to open source, write n words everyday, read books everyday, exercise, learn new skills, market yourself, socialize, travel. Is there an end? I am surrounded by so many productive activities and each one within my reach that each time I am not doing it, it feels I am frittering away very valuable time. In fact, even when I am doing it like reading a book, I feel working on my mini-game could have been more productive. Someone has written 40K words in five months, someone has created a kernel at the age of 18, someone has made 365 days streak on github and someone has done a biking trip across India. I wish there was an easy way to avoid feeling guilty when you see other people's achievements.
目标是表达清楚，不是堆字数。
我同意写作是很好的锻炼。但有些人似乎认为字数高就是好事。请尽量用尽可能少的词把想法讲清楚，这是对读者的一种善意，能帮他们省时间。小说和虚构作品当然例外，因为读者本来就喜欢读；但我可能有点偏见，觉得（技术类）博客文章不属于这一类。

I agree that writing is good exercise. However, it seems that some people think that achieving a high word count is a good thing. Please try to use as few words as possible to get your ideas across. See this as a friendly gesture to your audience, saving them time. Obviously, this does not hold for novels and fiction, where the reader actually likes to read. Perhaps I am a bit misguided in thinking that (technical) blog posts do not belong to this category.
写作是把零散知识织成网络、强化记忆的工具。
我也做过同样的事，但我纯粹把它当作扩展知识的方式（而不是为了写得更好或感觉更好）。这确实很有效：凡是我写过的文章，记忆都特别清晰。用博客的形式写，我可以在文章之间加链接，于是（我想象中）大脑也把某篇文章的知识和其他文章连了起来。效果很好，因为我能记住自己写过哪些文章、每篇里链接了什么，回忆起来非常顺畅。我选择在不同网站写，这样就不必告诉任何人我在日更，也可以按主题分叉。我推荐坚持下去，帮助很大。

I actually did the same thing, but I use it solely as a way to expand my knowledge (as opposed to writing better, feeling better, etc.). It actually helped a lot and my memory is very sharp when it comes to articles I have written. Writing it in a blog style, I could link articles and in turn (I imagine it like this) in my brain link the knowledge in a given article to other articles. It actually has worked quite well because I can remember what articles I have written, and what are linked inside each one, giving me excellent recall. I wrote about that, here: http://austingwalters.com/learning-through-blogging/ Some of the websites I write at are: http://ausitngwalters.com http://topfinancialadvisor.org http://synaptitude.me are just a few. I chose to write in different place so I didn't have to tell anyone I am writing daily, and I could branch subjects. I recommend keeping up with the writing, it helps a lot.
持续写作会重塑你的思考习惯，最终变成第二天性。
写作不只是让你成为更好的思考者，它会把变成另一个的。每天写作，你就会每天变成另一个的。最有趣的结果是，你开始产生不同种类的想法：你开始注意到以前不会自觉去想的东西，得出结论，而这个习惯从此改变了你会去想什么。最令人惊讶的结果是，这种思维方式会在一年内下意识地成为第二天性，感觉毫不费力。

Writing doesn't just make you a better thinker. It turns you into a different person. Writing daily turns you into a different person daily. The most interesting result of writing daily is you start to have different kinds of thoughts. You start to pay attention to things you didn't consciously think of before, come to conclusions, and that habit changes what you think of from thereon. The most surprising result is this way of thinking subconsciously becomes second nature within a year. It doesn't feel like trying. edit: rewriting
