Sheehan Quirke:我从小就梦想成为一名作家,大学学习法律专业,毕业后却在麦当劳工作。在25岁生日后,我意识到自己需要改变,于是辞去了工作,全身心投入到网络写作中。我选择在推特上发布文章,每天坚持发布一个帖子,并通过积极互动和与其他用户的联系来增加粉丝。起初进展缓慢,但通过坚持不懈的努力,我的粉丝数量逐渐增加。我并没有刻意选择写作领域,而是跟随自己的兴趣,写作内容涵盖历史、艺术、建筑等多个方面。我始终坚持以自身满意度为标准,而不是一味追求外界的评价。在写作过程中,我从书籍中汲取知识,并通过观察和思考来寻找灵感。我并不担心缺乏资质,因为作品的价值由读者评判。我的成功并非偶然,而是努力工作和一些运气的结合。 Ali Abdaal:Sheehan Quirke 的故事是一个很好的例子,说明了在网上写作的可能性。他从一个默默无闻的麦当劳员工,转型为拥有百万粉丝的匿名推特作家,这说明只要坚持不懈,并找到适合自己的方式,就能在网络写作领域取得成功。他的故事也强调了克服负面评价的恐惧,专注于自身创作的满意度,以及坚持不懈的重要性。
