为什么写作？

写作是用来探索自己的道路

写作是用来探索自己、研究自己的，做这些的目的，最终是为了忘记自己。这其实是一个禅修的过程，我们在学习识破自己的无明，为了在路的尽头看到实相。写作是一种漫长的反省、观察、思维的过程。这些过程能够让自己治愈、洁净、有所超越。人的生命是一个无底深渊，不是一眼就能够看清楚。这个过程总是在深化，在延伸。不会有彻底的完全的治愈。这是很困难的。我们只能尽自己最大的努力去与自我相处，而不是试图用物质的外在的一切蒙蔽与麻醉这些深刻的面对。写作对我的意义来说，是这样的一条道路。——庆山

That said, me as a writer, I also try to understand myself better, and the only way that I have to understand myself better is by sharing myself with myself, meaning, that I have to write and when I write, I understand what is inside of me in an unconscious level, then I think it is also part of the human condition to somehow divide your feelings with other people so you feel that you're not alone. ——Paulo Coelho

By externalizing your thoughts, writing puts you into conversation with yourself. It’s always easier to diagnose other people’s problems, and to identify opportunities they might be missing. Just so, writing from the heart gives you a new vantage on you. This is certainly useful if you’re writing for an audience, but it’s at least as useful if you’re writing for yourself. Next time you’re struggling with a big decision, write down a complete explanation of the situation just as you would describe it to a close friend or mentor. It can’t hurt, and it will clarify your thinking. You never know, it might even, open up a new angle for you—a real life plot twist. ——Eliot Peper

写作是产生新想法的工具

所以当我们创作时，不是面对那空白的屏幕或不可能的要求「想写点什么」，而是由内而外的「涌现」。——flomo团队

Writing is so easily thought of as a communication technology, or in an accretive sense — a civilisational hard drive. But as a tool for making new ideas, a kind of GPT-3000BC, what an accelerant. ——Matt Webb

写作是为了记录稍纵即逝的灵感

Most good material is forgotten. Write down the funniest or most interesting thing that happens to you each day. Most days will be boring, but if you write something each day, then you'll have 5 to 10 entertaining stories within a year or two. People are sitting on more funny stories than they realize because they do not have a habit of capturing humorous things as they happen. Write down one idea each day. Most ideas will be simple and uninteresting, but within a year you'll have a handful that are compelling and useful. Little bits of genius are bubbling up all the time, but you need a habit of recording your ideas in order to capture the good ones. It's a myth that great storytellers only think of great stories or that insightful people only have brilliant ideas. But they do have a habit of capturing their experiences and insights, and the patience to filter the majority until the best remain.

——James Clear

写作是为了创造和分享美好

写下有价值的知识，完成的，未完成的，甚至是计划，想法；分享给更多人，把美好分享出来的时候会滋养整个空间。

We make art because we like art. The best advice is not to write what you know, it’s to write what you like. Write the kind of story you like best — write the story you want to read.

The manifesto is this : Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use — do the work you want to see done.—— Austin Kleon 《Steal Like An Artist》

午餐时，朋友说起写作，他说，写作是造一座塔。不用对它的意义深远考虑很多，专心地把它造起来，造得平衡、浑然、结实、优美。意义就让别人去想。——庆山《月童度河》
