I would like to also address the reading aspect of wholesale jerseys your question. You are right cheap nfl jerseys free shipping cheap nfl jerseys that most cheap nfl jerseys wholesale people, at some point coach handbags cheap cheap jerseys jerseys online in their lives, will have read 10,000 hours worth. But cheap jerseys coach outlet online how coach online cheap cheap jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys free shipping many people think critically about it? How many coach handbags people say, "Wow, I liked that, but cheap jerseys wholesale why did I like that?" Most people get through their entire 10,000 hours of reading very passively. Even avid readers cheap nfl jerseys who are never without a book wholesale nfl jerseys can often never coach outlet take the active role and really digest what they coach cheap nike nfl jerseys handbags are consuming.
Think about critics (literary or film (or food or software or mountain climbing equipment)). The longer someone coach handbags online Coach cheap jerseys wholesale handbags shop has been reviewing widgets, the better they wholesale nfl jerseys are going to be. But that's not coach online just because they have seen cheap nfl jerseys wholesale a lot wholesale nfl jerseys of widgets (though that helps); coach outlet it's because cheap nfl jerseys china they have thought critically about every single widget they have come across.
If you write a hundred emails a day, but don't really think cheap jerseys wholesale about it, you won't improve. coach outlet But if you write coach outlet a hundred emails and wholesale jerseys make active decisions during each one, coach outlet usa then you will become an email coach online shop master.
One more wholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseys free shipping thing: Just a quick cheap nfl jerseys wholesale quote from Stephen King's cheap nfl jerseys free shipping On Writing:
"If you don't have the time to cheap nfl cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys read, you don't have cheap nfl cheap nfl jerseys china cheap nfl jerseys jerseys cheap nike nfl jerseys free shipping the coach outlet online time or the tools to write."
Complex answer: You can cheap nike nfl jerseys try for cheap nfl jerseys free shipping decades to carve wood and assemble it cheap jerseys wholesale to wholesale nfl wholesale nfl jerseys jerseys a table; if you cheap jerseys are doing it wrong all the time, you'll never become a carpenter.
There is another saying: You have one million words of shit in your writing. Write them down and get rid of them, then you cheap nfl jerseys can become an expert.
The trick is not the coach handbags "writing" coach online part, it's Coach handbags shop the "get rid of cheap jerseys them" part. You have to learn, you coach outlet online have to improve. Just reading cheap nfl jerseys china a book is cheap nfl jerseys china not enough. You cheap nfl jerseys need to know what's good, what's wholesale jerseys bad. You have to learn techniques to coach online shop improve your writing. All in all, hard work with no definite outcome. Ask a carpenter, he cheap jerseys will tell you the same thing.
Writing, of course. If you wholesale jerseys want cheap nfl jerseys china to write fiction, then writing fiction. Anything else might be coach handbags online helpful, but it's not practicing the actual thing you want to be getting good at.
Reading might give you ideas, familiarity with structure and narrative convention, etc. etc. And writing coach handbags cheap nfl jerseys free shipping emails coach outlet online and blogposts might wholesale jerseys give you some vocabulary, eloquence, clarity of expression perhaps - but writing needs cheap nike nfl jerseys to do much more, coach handbags and entirely differently.
Note that Gladwell says a specific task. cheap jerseys wholesale wholesale nfl jerseys Writing's got a whole lot of parts to it, sure, but Coach Factory Outlet however you break it up, there's an awful lot of those parts that really don't get exercised by anything but doing actual, real, Coach Factory Outlet honest-to-goodness writing. Worldbuilding, character development, crafting resonant imagery, pacing, Coach Factory Outlet plotting - cheap jerseys these are all necessary skills cheap nfl jerseys china you're not going to get anywhere else. (And no, reading somebody else who's done them is not the same, just as you can't start composing merely by listening to 10,000 hours of Mozart.)
John Smithers coach online and I read the same proverb.
In The Rivan Codex, which is the encyclopedia/slush coach online shop book for David and Leigh Eddings's Belgariad/Malloreon series, Eddings says coach online shop (I'm paraphrasing from memory) cheap nfl jerseys wholesale "You want to write? Good. Write at least one million words. Now throw all that cheap nike nfl jerseys away, because your first million words are terrible. Start writing again now that you have some practice."
Ten thousand hours (of writing), one million words (of writing) the gist of it is that you wholesale jerseys must practice the craft to excel cheap nike nfl jerseys in it. Watching ten thousand hours of Star Trek doesn't make me qualified to be a starship captain.
I haven't read Gladwell's original book on this, so I don't want to cheap nfl jerseys wholesale criticize him directly, but I think the 10 000 hour rule, as I've heard it summarized, is over-simplistic. You need to practice to get good at things, sure. But you also need cheap nike nfl jerseys to have some basic aptitude.
I could practice the skills required of an NFL linebacker for 10 000 hours and get much better at cheap nfl jerseys wholesale them, maybe even to the point that I could be considered an expert, but I still wouldn't make the NFL. I'm 5'8" tall and weigh 140 pounds. Similarly, I coach outlet could put in my 10 000 hours of practice at being a gymnast and I still wouldn't make the Olympics - again, I'm 5'8" and 140 pounds!
I think most people accept this in regard to physical accomplishments, but many people seem to resist it when they look at intellectual or Coach Factory Outlet artistic achievements. In my opinion, though, it's equally true in both areas. I wouldn't be surprised if they were roughly equivalent. Most people agree that one needs to be physically gifted AND to work hard in cheap nfl jerseys china order to excel cheap nfl jerseys at sports; I would argue that one needs to coach outlet usa be mentally gifted to succeed at writing. Practice is necessary, but not sufficient.
I don think Gladwell contending that. cheap jerseys wholesale It not wholesale nfl jerseys that 10,000 hours makes anybody a prodigy; it simply one requirement (often, a very difficult one). Here Mette Harrison: "The part people are misunderstanding is Gladwell insistence that coach outlet usa there must still be inborn talent for the 10,000 hours to make any difference. He trying to counteract the idea that if you not a genius at first, then you never be one. And also the excuse that people give to themselves when they say they just didn have the genius to begin with." Standback Jun 30 '11 at 20:26
While Gladwell popularised the concept, a better explanation is in the book "Talent Is Overrated" by Geoff Colvin. Colvin coach handbags online Coach Factory Outlet uses scientific studies to show that what passes for "talent" is merely focussed practice. But Colvin says coach outlet online it has to be directed practice that works on aspects of your weakness, not general practice. So he gives coach outlet usa the coach outlet usa coach online example Coach handbags shop of NBA stars who spend 10-12 hours continuously throwing the ball in the hoop from one fixed location, till they can do so with their coach online shop eyes closed. Next day they move to another location and start again. Have you ever been in a writing group with somebody who just. can write? They read a lot, they practiced endlessly, and it still just not there. I guess there are a million different definitions of success, and if these people are enjoying their work and finding it personally meaningful, I guess that can count as success. coach handbags online But if we talking about success by external standards, I don think these people are ever going to experience any. Except the fact that you should initially, eventually or temporary, but really honestly and deeply, care about what you write.
I don't think it does. Sure, in music and sports, public Coach handbags shop speaking and race car driving, practice makes perfect. But in many Coach handbags shop things, such as cooking and painting and writing, passion and talent shine through more than practice. Art is more beauty than math. While some were labors of love. It can be a coin toss when it comes to art and creation as to what it takes to create it. So for writing, I don't believe that the 10,000 hours idea can be applied because everyone writes differently and you just have to find what works for you and gets you to produce your best writing.
