Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’ s a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. " You’ ve got to want to write," I say to them, " not want to be a writer. "
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由栏目)writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’ t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’ t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’ t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. [br] Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
选项
A、He wasn’ t able to produce a single book.
B、He hadn’ t seen a change for the better.
C、He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.
D、He thought that he lacked imagination.
答案
B
解析
细节判断题。第三段开头部分,作者提到了自己写了大约一年之后的境况:没有突破,卖个故事糊口都很艰难。因此,可以判断出答案应该是没有突破、进步等,故选B。
