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 writ-ing.
In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours a-lone at a typewriter. "You’ve got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writ-er".
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 apart-ment 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 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 Shadow Land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. [br] "... people who did wondering. What if?" (paragraph 3) refers to "those______".
