4. Use your hands.
4. 运用你的双手。
My favorite cartoonist, Lynda Barry, she has this saying: “In the digital age, don’t forget to use your digits! Your hands are the original digital devices.”
我最喜欢的漫画家是Lynda Barry，她说过这样的话：“在数字时代，别忘了使用你的手！它们是原始的数字工具。”
When I was in creative writing workshops in college, all manuscripts had to be in double-spaced, Times New Roman font. And my stuff was just terrible. It wasn’t until I started making writing with my hands that writing became fun and my work started to improve.
当年我在大学的创意写作班时，所有的手稿都必须是两倍行距和Times New Roman字体。我写的东西一塌糊涂。直到我开始用双手写作以后，写作才变得有趣，我的作品才开始进步。
The more I stay away from the computer, the better my ideas get. Microsoft Word is my enemy. I use it all the time at work. I try to stay away from it the rest of my life.
离电脑越远，我的脑子就越好用。微软Word是我的敌人。工作时我离不开它，其余时间我尽量敬而远之。
I think the more that writing is made into a physical process, the better it is. You can feel the ink on paper. You can spread writing all over your desk and sort through it. You can lay it all out where you can look at it.
我认为，你越是把写作变成一种动手的过程，写出来的东西就越好。你可以感觉到纸上的墨水，可以将草稿铺满书桌挑挑拣拣，可以把它们放到任何能看见的地方。
People ask me why I don’t develop an iPhone or iPad Newspaper Blackout app, and I tell them because I think there is magic in feeling the newsprint in your hand and the words disappearing under that marker line. A lot of your senses are engaged–even the smell of the fumes add to the experience.
有人问我为什么不开发一款用于iPhone或iPad的报纸涂鸦程序，我的回答是：手握报纸、眼见文字消失在黑笔之下的感觉有一种魔力，多种感官参与其中——甚至油墨的气味也会增加你的体验。
Art that only comes from the head isn’t any good. Watch any good musician and you’ll see what I mean.
仅仅来自头脑的艺术不是好的艺术。随便看看一位音乐家，你就能明白我的意思。
When I’m making the poems, it doesn’t feel like work. It feels like play.
当我创作诗歌的时候，不像是工作，倒像在娱乐。
So my advice is to find a way to bring your body into your work. Draw on the walls. Stand up when you’re working. Spread things around the table.
所以我的建议是：找到一种方式，让你的身体参与你的工作。在墙上画画、站着干活、把东西摊它一桌子。
Use your hands.
运用双手。

10. Creativity is subtraction.
10. 创造力是做减法。
It’s often what an artist chooses to leave out that makes the art interesting. What isn’t shown vs. what is.
通常，让艺术吸引人的是艺术家选择摒弃哪些东西，未表达的相对于表达出来的。
In this age of information overload and abundance, those who get ahead will be the folks who figure out what to leave out, so they can concentrate on what’s important to them.
在这个信息丰富与泛滥的时代，领先者将是懂得舍弃的人，因为这样他们才能专注于自认为重要的事情。
Devoting yourself to something means shutting out other things.
集中精力做一件事意味着抛开其他事情。
What makes you interesting isn’t just what you’ve experienced, but also what you haven’t experienced.
让你吸引人的不光是你经历了什么，还包括你没经历什么。
The same is true when you make art: you must embrace your limitations and keep moving.
从事艺术也是如此：你必须承认自己的局限性并继续前进。
Creativity isn’t just the things we chose to put in, it’s also the things we chose to leave out. Or black out.
创造力不仅是我们选择采用的东西，还是我们选择舍弃的，或涂黑的。
And that’s all I think I have.
这就是我想说的全部。
Thanks, y’all.
谢谢大家。
