しょうせつなりたいひとには「作家さっかものぜんというどくしょほうすすめるな、というのは、ぶんいるしてやすくしかもたのというものだ。

いろんな作家さっかちょっとずつというのでは、あまりものないベストセラーなっているだいさくせっせとというのは①もっとよくない

ベストセラー(注1)なるしょうせつは、とりあえずなにいいところあっているのだからさんこうではないかとかもしれないが、それさんこうしているひとたくさんいるということなのだ。みんなねらいるほうこうで、ぶんやってみるというのでは、ことないわけある

ちゅうりゃく

ひとり作家さっかあなたにとってはだ(注2)よくてたのしょうせつひと)のぜんしょうせつみるのは、ずのうちに、その作家さっかの「しょうせつほう」をかんことあるこのひとしょうせつを、このようこうせいするのだ、そこ心地ここち(注3)いいのだ、とわかることあるこのひと人間心理にんげんしんりを、このようびょうしゃする(注4)このひとしゃかいかんこうあるなんてことわかる

それわかればようものところまであと一歩いっぽ、なのであるとくべつマネしておもいなかったとしても、ものぜんと、その作家さっかさくふう(注5)ものなりしょしんしゃしてかんせいたかものなるだろう。

こうはんろんするひといるかもしれないしょうせつ発表はっぴょうしたいというがんぼうは、ぶんというものけん(注6)ということあって、つまりひょうげんよくからくるものだ。それなのににんさくひんマネいるのでは、ぶんひょうげんにはならないのではないか。

ひょうげんよくことは、たしそのとおあるしかしあわじゅんだんいこうでないか。いきなりぶんかんがのではなくまずはけんくれるレベルものようじょうたつするひつようあるのだ。

わたしものにはあるのだからけんちゅうもくしなければならない、とおもしまうひとあんがいいるのだが、それではなかなかもらえない

だからまずはうまくようならなければいけない

そのためくんれんとしてある作家さっかじゅくどく(注7)しているというのは、たいへんゆうこうなのである

清水しみずよしのりしょうせつなるほうほうによる

ちゅう1)ベストセラーここでは、もっといるほん

ちゅう2)はだよいここでは、ぶんかんかく

ちゅう3)心地ここちこころよ

ちゅう4)びょうしゃするひょうげんする

ちゅう5)さくふうさくひんあらわとくちょう
