问题     Many a young persons tells me he wants to be a writer.               【M1】______
I always encourage such people, but I also explain that
there’s a big differences between "being a writer" and writing.          【M2】______
    In cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and                【M3】______
fame, not the long hours alone on a typewriter.                          【M4】______
    Reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying         【M5】______
affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands
more whose longing is never awarded. When I left a 20 - year career      【M6】______
in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿人) ,
I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found
me my room in a New York apartment building. It wasn’t even              【M7】______
matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought
a used mannual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.                【M8】______
    After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and
began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely
made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. 1 had dreamed
about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who
die wondered, What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test—      【M9】______
even enough it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.       【M10】______
This is the Shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must
learn to live there.
【M6】
