Mark, a young person, tells me

    Mark, a young person, tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explainthat there'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. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer."       The truth is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by good luck there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded (报答). When I left a 20-year job in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a writer, I had no hopes at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my roomin a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediatelybought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.       After a year or so, however, I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that hardly made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn'tgoing to be one of those people who die wondering "what if". I would keep putting my dream to the test-eventhough it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with adream must learn to live there.
