Ask for some anecdotes about celebrities.

A beautiful and romantic English actress once wrote to propose to Bernard Shaw. She said,

Because he is a genius, she doesn't think Bernard Shaw is old and ugly. If you can be a girl's

How harmonious it would be to combine beauty with superhuman genius. "Our offspring.

With your wisdom and my beauty, it must be perfect. "

Bernard Shaw wrote back to her, saying that her imagination was very rich. "But, false.

What if the baby looks like me, but the wisdom is like you?

A poor beginning is a good thing.

Once, Chekhov met a young writer. As soon as the writer saw Chekhov, he said with distress that when he first started writing, he couldn't write well anyway, and his writing often contradicted the expression of his thoughts. He was deeply distressed by his clumsiness and situation. After hearing this, Chekhov, instead of giving any comfort, said in surprise: "What did you say? It is a good thing to write poorly at the beginning! "

The young writer was so surprised that he didn't know what to do. Chekhov went on to say, "Of course it's a good thing. You have to understand that a writer who starts with a pen, if he writes smoothly at once, then he is finished, and he has no future in writing. "

4. A tiring struggle

Balzac said that artistic creation is "a tiring struggle". He believes that only by working hard and not afraid of difficulties can he show his talents. It's like a soldier attacking a fortress, and he can't relax for a moment.

On one occasion, Balzac wrote for hours in a row, so tired that he couldn't support it. He ran to his friend's house and collapsed on the sofa. He wanted to sleep, but he told his friend that he had to be woken up within an hour. Seeing that he was tired, his friends didn't wake him up on time. When he woke up, he lost his temper with his friend. Fortunately, all his friends knew him well and didn't quarrel with him.

Balzac neither smokes nor drinks. But he has a habit: when writing, he always drinks strong coffee that can almost paralyze his stomach. There is neither milk nor sugar in his coffee, and he will be satisfied until it becomes bitter. Most people don't want to drink such bitter coffee. According to himself, this has a strange stimulating effect on him, which can drive away the sandman.

5. Balzac's illusion

As soon as Balzac picked up a pen to write, he became fascinated and often had hallucinations about what he was going to write.

Once, a friend went to Balzac's house. He knocked on the door and heard Balzac seem to be arguing fiercely with someone: "You villain, I will give you some color to see see!" " The friend hurried into the door and saw Balzac alone in the room. It turned out that Balzac was denouncing the despicable behavior of a character exposed in his works.

One day, another friend visited him. Suddenly, Balzac came up to him and said excitedly, "You, you, you made this unfortunate girl commit suicide!" " "His friend was surprised. It turns out that Balzac's girl is a character in a novel he is writing.
