卷王第七天 下（1/2）

I operated from a place of inspiration and total creative flow to none of it at all.Especially towards the end of the book.

我从一个充满灵感和创造力的地方开始运作，结果却一无所获。尤其是在这本书的末尾。

Silence.A blank mind.An empty heart.No inspiration at all.I totally froze.Until I randomly came across Alan Watt's three-minute speech on "What If Money Was No Object?" again.

What if I wrote as if I was writing for pure pleasure?如果我写作，就好像是纯粹为了娱乐而写作呢？

What if I wrote exactly what my heart was yearning to say?

如果我写下了我内心渴望说的话呢？

What if I wrote as if I was telling stories to a dear friend?

如果我像给一位好朋友讲故事一样写作，会怎么样？
