说得对，中庸之道在这里是不行的。艺术就得能走多远，走多远。写小说也有"follow your inner demon" 的说法。

就是说，当你一切都计划好了，突然来了一个很疯狂的idea，这个时候，一定要follow这个idea，是成是败就在这里。

写小说，画画，音乐，都是需要勇气和强大的心智。你是在把自己整个人都通过你的作品展现出来，不能怂！

下面是我喜欢的两个说法：

“A person who publishes a book appears willfully in public eye with his pants down. ”~ Edna St. Vincent Millay

 

“Occasionally, there arises a writing situation where you see an alternative to what you are doing, a mad, wild gamble of a way for handling something, which may leave you looking stupid, ridiculous or brilliant -you just don't know which. You can play it safe there, too, and proceed along the route you'd mapped out for yourself. Or you can trust your personal demon who delivered that crazy idea in the first place. Trust your demon. “”~ Roger Zelazny

所有跟帖： 

• 哇，你积累了好多写作理论。：）第一个说法很野蛮，但事实如此。第二个说法成就的是作品独一无二的个性，需要强大的灵魂来支持。。。学习 -尘凡无忧- ♀ (0 bytes) () 04/12/2021 postreply 19:25:21

• 嘿嘿，我们作为读者都有点“偷窥癖”。要说看打斗看言情甚至色情，到处都有的看。我们读书其实读的就是作者最private，最需要勇气 -FionaRawson- ♀ (54 bytes) () 04/12/2021 postreply 19:33:27
