职业写作采访者学到的 31 条写作经验

David Perell 是我很喜欢的一个关于写作和创造力的博主，他采访和分享了很多职业作家和科技名人如何写作，如凯文凯利/ Paul Graham/ Sam Altman，Obsidan CEO Kepano，以及我很喜欢的 AI 大佬 Marc Andreessen（就是他分享了杠铃阅读法），以及很多职业作家和写作经验。

他分享的内容都很不错，尤其关于技术佬们的写作观念，很纯粹的技术写作思考，Andrej Karpathy，Kepano 这些人的写作都值得关注。下面我就简单解释性翻译几条 David Perell 学到的写作理念，全部可以查看原文。

1. Like design, if a writer is doing their job, you never notice the writing. It's frictionless. You just keep reading.
如设计般丝滑的写作是作者和过程的消隐，是让读者无摩擦地进入阅读心流。

4. The world doesn’t reward the people with the best ideas. It rewards the people who are best at communicating ideas.
世界不奖励拥有最佳想法的人，而奖励那些最能交流想法的人。

6. The most interesting ideas are right in front of us. We assume that if an idea is important, it’s going to be hard to find. But sometimes, the best ideas come from the things that everybody sees, but nobody takes seriously.
最有趣的想法往往就在我们身边，它们来自我们所忽视的附近。

7. You can almost always improve your writing by being more specific. Don’t write “I got in my car” when you can write “I got in my ‘65 Mustang.”
写得具体点，当你写「她开着邻居家的 Toyota 追着日落」，比写「她开着车追日落」更有 VIBE。

8. Don’t try to write about too many things at once (one of the biggest mistakes that young writers make). Instead, narrow your scope. Trade “A History of Cars” for “Saying Goodbye to Dad’s Beat-Down Mercury Station Wagon.”
新人作家容易犯的最大错误之一是写得宏大，应该聚焦，写飞行可以写「风之谷」，写友谊可以写「借物少女艾莉缇」，写回忆可以写「苍鹭与少年」。

9. Forget sounding smart. Be useful instead.
不要为赋新词强说愁式写作，悲观主义让人显得聪明，实用主义赚钱。

10. Storytelling 101: Stories are built on suspense, suspense is built on high stakes, high stakes are built on a character having a strong desire and an obstacle in the way of them getting what they want.
讲故事的基点在于建立冲突的 Hook，愿望及其实现障碍诱发的冲突风险和悬念会拔起整个故事氛围。
