Tinglashdan oldin: kalit so‘zlar
Har bir so‘zni bosing, eshiting va ovoz chiqarib takrorlang. Bu so‘zlar audioda uchraydi.
💡 Kontekst haqida o‘ylang: Taniqli yozuvchi roman yozish jarayoni va ilhom haqida gapiradi.
Tayyor bo‘lsangiz, tugmani bosing
Matnga qaramasdan to‘liq tinglang. Kim gapiryapti, qayerda va nima haqida? Har bir so‘zni emas, umumiy ma’noni tushunishga harakat qiling. Kerak bo‘lsa, ikki marta tinglang.
Tushundingizmi?
Javobni tanlang. Ishonchingiz komil bo‘lmasa, pastdagi pleyer orqali qayta tinglang.

Matn bilan tinglash
Istalgan gapni bosing — o‘sha joydan ijro etiladi. So‘zlar eshitilgan sari yonib boradi.

Your new novel took seven years to write. Was there a point when you nearly gave up?
Yangi romaningizni yozishga yetti yil ketdi. Deyarli taslim bo‘lgan payt bo‘lganmi?

Several. I threw away an entire draft, about four hundred pages, in the third year, because the narrator’s voice simply wasn’t convincing.
Bir necha marta. Uchinchi yili butun bir qoralamani, taxminan to‘rt yuz sahifani tashlab yubordim, chunki hikoyachining ovozi shunchaki ishonarli emasdi.

That must have been devastating.
Bu dahshatli bo‘lgan bo‘lsa kerak.

Strangely, it was liberating. I’d learned who the characters were, so the second version came much faster. Nothing you write is truly wasted.
G‘alati, bu ozod qiluvchi bo‘ldi. Qahramonlar kimligini bilib olgan edim, shuning uchun ikkinchi variant ancha tez chiqdi. Yozgan hech narsangiz chindan isrof bo‘lmaydi.

Many young writers wait for inspiration. What’s your view?
Ko‘p yosh yozuvchilar ilhom kutadi. Sizning fikringiz?

Novelist
Inspiration is unreliable. I write for three hours every morning, whether I feel like it or not. Most days are ordinary, but the good days only come if you’re already at the desk.
Ilhom ishonchsiz. Har kuni ertalab, xohlasam ham, xohlamasam ham, uch soat yozaman. Ko‘p kunlar oddiy o‘tadi, lekin yaxshi kunlar faqat siz allaqachon stol ortida bo‘lsangiz keladi.

And read widely, including books you dislike. Understanding why something fails teaches you as much as admiring what works.
Va keng o‘qing, yoqmaydigan kitoblarni ham. Nima uchun biror narsa muvaffaqiyatsiz ekanini tushunish ishlayotgan narsaga qoyil qolishdek ko‘p narsa o‘rgatadi.
Diktant
Gapni tinglang va eshitganingizni aynan yozing. Katta-kichik harf va tinish belgilari hisobga olinmaydi. Raqamlarni so‘z bilan yozing.
