Ray Bradbury: Zen in the Art of Writing Ray Bradbury: Zen in the Art of Writing

„Every ​morning I jump out of bed and step on a land mine. The land mine is me. After the explosion, I spend the rest of the day putting the pieces back together. Now, it's your turn. Jump!” Zest. Gusto. Curiosity. These are the qualities every writer must have, as well as a spirit of adventure. In this exuberant book, the incomparable Ray Bradbury shares the wisdom, experience, and excitement of a lifetime of writing. Here are practical tips on the art of writing from a master of the craft-everything from finding original ideas to developing your own voice and style-as well as the inside story of Bradbury's own remarkable career as a prolific author of novels, stories, poems, films, and plays.

Ray Bradbury: Zen in the Art of Writing

Bradburynek az élete az írás, ez az esszégyűjtemény tanulsága. Még működni sem tud rendesen, ha nem írta meg a napi ezer szót, nem tudom, létezik-e más ember, akitől jobb tanácsokat kaphatnánk, mint ő. Sokkal romantikusabb a hozzáállása, mint Stephen Kingnek, Bradbury egyszerűen imád írni, nem is tud másképpen, és csak így is érdemes szerinte. Múzsáról nagyon egyedi gondolatai vannak, a tudatalattinkat érti alatta, akit gyakorlással magunkhoz tudunk szoktatni, és jól fogja érezni magát nálunk. Ha meg már írunk, akkor csakis lendületesen és jó ízléssel, ne gondolkodjunk, mert az csak árt, a hibákat úgyis kijavítjuk a második vázlattal. De a legfontosabb, hogy írjunk, rengeteget, az senkit ne zavarjon, hogy pocsék az eredmény, gyakorlás az, ami mesterré tesz. Innét is a címadó zen filozófia, addig gyakoroljunk, amíg az ujjaink már maguktól fognak járni a billentyűzeten. A kemény munka megerősít, annyira hozzászokik az elménk, hogy már gondolkodni sem kell majd, hanem csak élvezni a folyamatot. Mint a legnagyobb zongoramesterek, akár becsukott szemmel is.

And what, you ask, does writing teach us?
First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right. We must earn life once it has been awarded us. Life asks for rewards back because it has favored us with animation.
So while our art cannot, as we wish we could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst of it all.
Secondly, writing is survival. Any art, any good work, of course, is that.
Not to write, for many of us, is to die.
