Ask for some short anecdotes about celebrities.

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

Because he is a genius, she doesn't think Bernard Shaw is old and ugly. How harmonious it would be if a girl's

beauty could be combined with a superman's genius. "Our descendants

have your wisdom and my beauty, which must be perfect."

Bernard Shaw wrote a letter back to her saying that her imagination was wonderful. "But

what should I do if the baby looks like me and is as intelligent as you?

3. Poor writing at the beginning is a good thing.

Once, Chekhov met a young writer. As soon as he saw Chekhov, the writer said with distress that when he started writing, After hearing this, Chekhov, instead of giving any comfort, said in surprise, "What did you say? It's a good thing to write poorly at the beginning! "

The young writer was greatly surprised and didn't know what to do. Chekhov went on to say, "Of course it is a good thing. You have to understand that if a writer who takes a pen at first 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 who attacks a fortress, and he can't relax for a moment.

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

Balzac neither smokes nor drinks. But he has a habit: when he writes, 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 is bitter. Most people don't want to drink such bitter coffee. According to himself, this has a strange stimulating effect on him and can drive away the sandman.

5. Balzac's illusion

As soon as Balzac picks up a pen to write, he seems to be possessed, and he often has hallucinations about what he wants 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 through the door and saw Balzac alone in the room. It turned out that Balzac was lambasting the despicable behavior of a character he was exposing in his works.

One day, another friend went to visit him. Suddenly, Balzac came up to him and said excitedly, "You, you, it is you who 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.
