作家的生活是为了写作。
I got my inspiration anywhere and everywhere. Books. The newspaper. Movies. Music. Daily life. People I met. Memories and experience. And also from that mysterious creative ether whence ideas just popped into my head, unheralded. I put myself in a state of receptivity to stories. My eyes and ears sought them. I looked out, not in; in bored me. I did research with pleasure. Research was my way of learning, my own private university. Nothing delighted me more than to investigate the world for the sake of a story. - Yann Martel
有时会突然灵感来了, 想写东西;
头脑里已打好草稿, 只剩下喷涌而出了. 手颤抖着, 但抓不到笔.( 那支粉红色的笔是一直放在粉红色小包里的, 今天却掉在了银行的柜台上--一点也不精彩的故事情节).
没有笔, 无法写字, 像心脏病突发的人, 喘不过气难受得要死.
路过Paddington & Woollahra, 大雨后, 阳光偏心地只晒到部分的树上. 有坡度的路, 不整齐的房子, 很老式的建筑风格, 但都被粉刷得像新的一样,这种协调的颜色,在我常去的地方很少见. 有些墙角还是湿湿的,折射着零散的光. 街边会有浪漫的咖啡店, 车开着开着, 不时会冒出一爿华丽的水晶灯饰店, 一所私立女校, five ways似的路口会看到一座教堂 , 一个modern的Vet. 下次, 一定要错过380, 再乘一次这趟绕着远路的车. 要带相机, 要乘旧的bus, 就可以把窗打开. 这样的速度,这样的角度, 再浏览一遍...
...
DJ
经理Jason招手叫我过去, 我微笑着来到他面前.
他说, Jieni, 不要把你的手肘架在柜台上.(他没看见我把肚子顶着, 脚交换弯着).
他说, 这样的话顾客看了会不爽! 如果这么累的话, 他停了一下(指了一下腿部), 就回家去!
我一时没有反应过来, 脸上还挂着笑, 后来就快哭了...
我是很累呀, 还要傻站4个小时, 每天早上5点被flatmate的闹钟吵醒. 在DJ上班, 上面有3个direct和2个indirect managers and 1 supervisor, 把我派来派去(纸牌?). 他们若把我也气走,managers就要比colleagues多了.
...
手不断地被划破, 自己还要将头撞到柜子上. 自讨苦吃.
...
后来，在DJ的书架上看到lonely plane:shanghai, 在地图上准确地找到了两个家的位置, 高兴地指给犹太裔的Viv看. 空间上错了位, 一直以为卢湾区在静安区的上方. 在上海成长时, 用双脚走过的一带也许还描绘得出, 会骑单车后对那些坑坑洼洼的地面熟悉了一点, 但当时的大脑发育不够全面, 没有想到可以骑车去远一点的地方.
...
A customer came to buy card, she said to me,"i suppose that you don't have 101 yrs old birthday card?". I doubt and searched the whole shelf for her. There isn't any. "why don't you choose a 100 yrs old,then choose a 1yr old bday card over there, and add them together?", I suggested. She smiled...看到她最后选的两张卡, 想到了老人收到卡时开心的笑容, 自己也开心了.
...
神给我的一天, 神造我的样子, 祂赋予我的感受.
...
很担心祷告的时候是为了祷告而祷告；
也很担心把神想象成自己脑袋里已有的样子；
不管是伤心还是快乐， 总认为告诉了祂，祂就会理解；
也因此觉得祂会认同或者至少是向着我的；
不再渴求， 不再好奇，不再问自己是否做得对。
