I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there39。s a big difference between being a writer and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter（打字機）.You39。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 poorpaying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded（報答）. When I left a 20year job in the US Coast Guard to bee a writer, I had no hopes at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn39。t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn39。t got a break and began to doubt （MWE ） myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn39。t going to be one of those people who die wonder in what if. I would keep putting my dream to the testeven though it meant living with uncertainty（不確定） and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. （1）According to the author39。s idea, writing is .
