Host: Welcome to today's chat show! We're excited to have Karen, a talented writer, here to share her writing journey with us. Hello, Karen. It's a pleasure to meet you. When and how did you get into writing?
Karen: I've been writing for as long as I can remember, starting with letters and my diary. I wrote down my feelings almost every day. But I really became hooked when I became a reporter for my school newspaper when I was in the third grade. I also remember writing a play called The Silver Locket in the sixth grade.
Host: What kind of training do you need to be a writer?
Karen: Many writers say the best way to improve writing is by living. I totally agree with that. I think good writers also need hard work, creative talent, and a little luck too. Writers are natural readers. Reading what others have written helps you not only enjoy good writing but also understand different writing styles. If you're serious about being a writer, it's also important when you have the chance, to take writing courses.
Host: What gives you ideas?
Karen: I get ideas all the time when I'm driving to the store, in a meeting, watching TV, cooking, or even relaxing on the beach!
Host: Do you write all at once or in fragments(片段)?
Karen: It all depends on what I'm writing. If I'm writing a nonfiction article that requires a lot of research and interviews, I do the research first, taking notes along the way. I organize my notes and then I start writing. I pay more attention to content than sentence structure, how it reads, or how long the piece is running. Making sure it reads well, catches the readers' attention, makes sense(言之有理), and is the right length will come later. I'll solve that when I begin editing and rewriting. And, believe me, editing and rewriting are worth taking time!
Host: ▲?
Karen: I have several books in mind, both fiction and nonfiction, but the first one—a children's picture book—is ready for publishing. I even entered it into a competition and it won a prize.
