When I was 15, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. All the students nearly fell out of their chairs, laughing at me. “Don’t be 31 . Only geniuses (天才) can become writers,” the English teacher said sarcastically（讽刺地）. “And you are getting a D this term.” I was hurt deeply and I cried sadly.
That night I wrote a short, sad poem about 32 dreams and mailed it to the
Capper’s Weekly newspaper. To my surprise, they published it, and sent me two
dollars. I was a（an） 33 writer! I showed my teacher and my classmates. They laughed again. “Just plain dumb luck,（纯属侥幸）” the teacher said. However, I’d tasted 34 . I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written.
By the time I graduated from high school（with a C-minus average）, I had scrapbooks filled with my published 35 . I never talked about my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers, and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their dreams.
Later, I wrote a book about what I understood and 36 about life. It took me nine months, just like a（an） 37 . I chose a publisher and wrote a letter, which read: “I wrote this book myself, I hope you like it. Chapters(章节) 6 and 12 are my 38 . Thank you.” I mailed it without an envelope.
A month later, I received a letter, and a request to start working on 39 book.
Crying Wind became a bestseller, and was translated into 15 languages. People ask
what college I attended, what degrees I have, and what qualities I have to be a writer. The answer is 40 . I just write. I’m not a genius, and I’m not gifted. I just write. To all those who dream of 41 , I’m shouting at you, “Yes, you 42 ! Don’t listen to them!” Writing is easy. It’s fun, and anyone can do it. 31.
