Many young people who see themselves as future novelists choose journalism as a way of earning a living while developing their writing skills. Although writing fbr newspapers and writing for books

41、 require different qualities, the aspiration（志向）to be a great writer is not one to be discouraged in a would-be journalist.Most people want their work to be recognized by others.
