But, the more I do it, the easier I get to just write.

有时候,最困难的部分是开始。When people ask me about writing-how they can write-I often suggest they brainstorm first.
当人们问我关于写作——他们如何写作——我通常建议他们先作头脑风暴。Writing the main ideas collected to a topic, usually produces some great things.

如果你有时间,最好让你的写作停下来一会儿,and read it again later, and to see how you like it.
再读一遍,看看你有多喜欢它。You may have something you wish to add or subtract.
你可能有一些想增加或者删减的东西。If you have a serious paper to write,
如果你想写些非常严肃的东西,and you have completed all of the things I talked about,
那你一定要按照我刚才谈到的所有的东西去做,the best thing to do-before you return your paper-is to have someone to read what you wrote and make comments on it.
在你回到这篇文章前最好的事情就是有人读你写的东西并发表看法。There is no doubt that practice makes perfect.
