Writer Newsletter
Hello writers, 各位作家，大家好！

Want to get your writing featured in The Medium Newsletter, on any of our lists, or in the Staff Picks? You already know that the first step is to write a great story, but here’s a lesser-known tip: Make sure your story has one absolutely banging line or paragraph that sums up the thesis of your story when combined with your title.
想让您的作品出现在 The Medium Newsletter、我们的任何列表或 Staff Pick 中吗？您已经知道第一步是写一个精彩的故事，但这里有一个鲜为人知的提示：确保您的故事有一个绝对震撼的台词或段落，当您与标题相结合时，可以总结您故事的主题。

There are two reasons for this. First, a logistical one. When Medium staff members feature a story, we love to include a quote from the piece itself for context. No matter how fascinating the story is, if we can’t find a good quote to pull out that helps readers understand what the story is about and why they should read the full article, it makes it harder to include.
这有两个原因。首先是后勤问题。当 Medium 员工报道一个故事时，我们喜欢引用文章本身的一段话作为背景。无论故事多么引人入胜，如果我们找不到一个好的引文来帮助读者理解这个故事是关于什么的以及为什么他们应该阅读整篇文章，那么它就会更难收录。

That goes not just for Medium staff sharing your piece, but also any readers who might want to share your piece on social media or with friends and family! (I like how newsletter writer Ryan Broderick puts it: “My social strategy for Garbage Day is what I call 'the one good paragraph'. I try and get something punchy and retweetable condensed into a single paragraph somewhere in the newsletter so that I can screenshot it and share it on Twitter.”)
这不仅适用于分享您的作品的 Medium 员工，也适用于任何可能想在社交媒体上或与朋友和家人分享您的作品的读者！（我喜欢时事通讯作者 Ryan Broderick 所说的：“我对垃圾日的社交策略是我所说的'一个好段落'。我尝试将一些有力且可转发的内容浓缩成时事通讯中某个地方的单个段落，这样我就可以将其截取并在 Twitter 上分享。

Second, it’s a great writing practice. The process of writing can get convoluted. By thinking intentionally about a quotable line or paragraph, you can give yourself an opportunity to clearly explain what you want readers to take away from your story.
其次，这是一种很好的写作练习。写作的过程可能会很复杂。通过有意识地思考可引用的行或段落，您可以给自己一个机会清楚地解释您希望读者从您的故事中得到什么。

Here are some fantastic examples:
以下是一些很棒的例子：
“The key question to answer is how do you make sure your questions get answered? How do you engage the lower intent cohorts who don’t want to speak to you, or fill out long forms? Enter: one-question surveys.”
“要回答的关键问题是你如何确保你的问题得到解答？您如何吸引那些不想与您交谈或填写长表格的低意图群组？请输入：单问题调查。
“Maybe I’ll completely lose my sight or maybe I’ll hold on to a sliver of it forever. Either way, I will use every microscopic bit of it, and if it must go, it will have to go kicking and screaming, knowing it was used to its maximum capacity.”
“也许我会完全失去视力，或者我会永远保留它的一小部分。不管怎样，我都会用它的每一小块，如果它必须去，它就得踢腿和尖叫，知道它已经用尽了最大的能力。
“The main takeaway from this experience is that generative AI text-to-music engines are not there yet. Once you start drilling down into the song construction, you immediately begin to unearth the incoherencies in the songs."
“这次经历的主要收获是，生成式 AI 文本转音乐引擎还没有出现。一旦你开始深入研究歌曲的结构，你就会立即开始挖掘歌曲中的不连贯之处。
