[Yesuricover] I want to write, I don't want to write
 |
Description
Book Introduction
"I want to write, I don't want to write" illuminates the process of expressing one's feelings through writing.
The stories of nine people—Jeon Go-woon, Lee Seok-won, Lee Da-hye, Lee Rang, Park Jeong-min, Kim Jong-kwan, Baek Se-hee, Han Eun-hyung, and Lim Dae-hyung—whose work and lives are directly or indirectly influenced by writing, unfold vividly with the unique charm of each writer, and resonate with anyone with even the slightest interest in writing.
As the title suggests, which reveals the duality of the mind, "I want to write" and "I don't want to write," this book does not teach perfect writing or secrets to writing, but rather encounters the wave-like movements of the mind that lead to becoming a writer.
This book, which allows readers to delve deeper into the 'heart of writing' through the honest and intimate confessions of nine people with various professions, including film directors, writers, journalists, actors, and musicians, includes an additional section, "My Writing Routine Diary," so that readers can record their own writing plans on a weekly basis each month.
The cover is a black hardcover that gives the feel of a diary, and is designed minimally by emphasizing only the 'writing hand'. The text is also simply designed using only black, gray, and white.
At the very beginning of this book, it is written, 'To those who want to write but don't want to write - - - -'.
For those who plan to write more diligently in the new year, I hope this book will be a small but special gift.

Into the book
This is the problem with my thinking.
The idea that it is not easy to admit.
The idea that only difficult things are real.
The idea that writings that are not born from poverty and suffering are worthless.
This thought has been dominating me for so long that I can't even guess when it started.
At first glance, the elements that make up the world seem too simple.
---From "Tomorrow, tomorrow's elegance will cover up the vulgarity"
Life is always like this.
Some days, no matter how much trouble I caused, I couldn't write a single word, and other days, I could write a book's worth in no time.
Some days I wanted to write so badly that I died, and other days I didn't want to write so badly that I died.
---From "Lee Seok-won, The Last of an Essayist"
It is easier to love what is not written than what is written.
Because what you haven't written hasn't ruined anything yet.
But the charm of unwritten words is like multiplying a number by zero.
No matter how large a number you bring in, the result of the calculation is always 0.
Whatever you write, anything becomes possible.
---From "Dahye Lee, The Unwritten Words Haven't Ruined Anything Yet"
'Think of a pot-bellied old man who sits thoughtlessly in a position he thinks is too much for him and does nothing but brag.' After reading this, I thought, 'Yeah, it's nothing.
I began to think more simply and bravely, thinking, 'It's strange that only useful things exist in this world.'
---From "Irang, I'm Entering Today While Dancing, Writing Hell"
The only things I can write to melt someone's heart are a reflection and a passionate love letter, and these are the things I often feel like writing.
---From "Park Jeong-min, Thirty-Two Reasons I Don't Want to Write"
I try to make the moments I least want to write about into the moments I want to write about, and I run into fiction.
We're following a made-up story, but to tell that story, we must ultimately think of a swirling sewer.
---From "Kim Jong-gwan, A Made-Up Story"
The boss said that creation is everything, and for me, creation is about pushing myself and finishing things.
I whip myself into writing, putting off writing for fear of not being able to write well or not being recognized, and I exhaust myself to the point of exhausting my energy, using the anxiety that comes from that as energy to finally finish it.
---From "Baek Se-hee, Overdoing It, Overdoing It"
There was no decisive moment, but I had no choice but to write.
I said that because I am a person who doesn't know how to do anything else.
Eventually, I began to remodel my life for the first time in my life to write a novel.
---From "Han Eun-hyung, Becoming a Writer"
Almost everyone around me who once loved movies now says that movies are dead.
He says so and complains.
It seems like people really want that to happen.
But I haven't even started a proper love affair with movies yet.

Publisher's Review
“We are most honest and lonely when we write,
And I am happy.”
This book is about the heart of writing.
And the heart to work and live,
Nine stories about moments of frustration and love.
Don't we all have that paradoxical desire to run away from the thing we want to do better?
Perhaps it resembles the feelings of director Jeon Go-woon, who said, "The writings and movies I loved were so huge that the closer I got to them, the smaller and more shabby I became."
This book contains such small hearts.
The story of the hearts of nine people who think about writing every day begins from the moment when they were most unable to write.
Rather than hearing powerful messages from the writers, you will hear personal stories, as if told alone in each writer's room.
For author Lee Seok-won, who has meticulously depicted the inner world of humans in numerous bestsellers, including “Ordinary Existence” and “Words That Are Always Good to Hear,” writing was a healing space where he could forget the fears of everyday life and immerse himself in the world, but on some days, it was also a space he wanted to escape from.
Like a dancer who moves her body to the beat of music, writer Lee Rang had to fall into countless hells of writing before going on stage to write, and actor Park Jung-min, who is remembered for "A Person Worth Writing," confessed 32 reasons why he no longer wants to write.
As we read about the nine turbulent hearts of writers who progressed from a heart that could not write to one that finally became a writer, readers will also look at stories about their own hearts.
And before I knew it, I had reached the point where, as the title of this book suggests, I was ‘running away from what I wanted to do.’
Just like Director Lim Dae-hyung's statement, 'I completely sympathize with the contradiction in the title of this book, and there are probably many people like me in the world,' and the story of 'trying to make the moment I want to write into the moment I want to write, and running into fiction,' are not only Director Kim Jong-kwan's.
We also sometimes want to do what we are doing and sometimes we don't want to do it.
These familiar polar opposites can lead to a resolution like the last sentence of author Han Eun-hyung, "It's time to become a writer," or to author Baek Se-hee's definition of creation: "Creating something is about using anxiety as energy to ultimately finish it."
So, we find solace in the fact that moments of frustration are not failures after all.
The colorful scenes of those who escape from the swirling emotions of loneliness and reach peace become a perspective that helps us understand our own hearts as we live.
The one sentence by author Dahye Lee, "There's no reason to be extraordinary," which states that, like everything else in the world, there is no mystery in the profession of writing, is a pledge that only we, who have gone through the inevitable process of frustration, can affirm.
And I am happy.”
