Many young people tell me they want to be writers. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these young people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours lonely 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 lonely, private and poor - paying. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never realized. When I left a 20 - year career in the U.S. Army to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no expectation 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 typewriter and felt like a true writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten any breakthrough 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 gave up halfway. 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.
What can be concluded from the passage?
选项
A、Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.
B、A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.
C、Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.
D、The chances for a writer to become successful are small.
