如何从一份糟糕的初稿开始
“202x 年是投身内容创作的绝佳年份。” 这句话每年十二月都会准时出现，而那些推广它的帖子总是能获得大量的点赞和分享。 因为年终是设定宏大目标的黄金时期。 内容创作的巨大讽刺在于，平台让人们如此容易地参与进来，以至于每个人都认为“嘿，我完全可以做到”，将“默默无闻”变成了对自尊心的沉重打击；与此同时，他们又被 KOL 的故事所淹没，助长了那种挥之不去的“错失恐惧症”（FOMO）——“如果你现在不开始，你就会错过机会。” 这些压力共同作用，使得“开始创作”成为终极新年决心。 但残酷的真相是：大多数有抱负的创作者在盯着空白页面上那不断闪烁的光标时，都会立刻碰壁。 是懒惰吗？是典型的写作障碍吗？ 不总是如此。 你想写点什么——任何东西。 但完全的自由可能导致完全的瘫痪。没有规则，你该从何开始？ 然后你开始自我厌恶：这句话听起来平淡无奇，那个想法太普通了，总是慢人一步追赶潮流……然后，砰的一声，你关掉了标签页。 你的新年目标还没开始就熄灭了。 创作中真正的反派是“从零开始”的恐惧。 这就像物理学：静摩擦力远比保持物体运动的力要大。 一张白纸仅仅是存在，就会耗尽你的精力。从零想法到第一句话？那是最艰难的部分。 上周，我们用户社区里有人发帖说：“有了 AI，写作基本上只需要动动手指。” 这句话触动了我：我们表现得好像创作需要英勇的勇气，但勇气往往只是巧妙设计的问题。 从本质上讲，创作并非凭空创造天才——它是对已存在事物的反应。AI 充当火花，所以你永远不会真正从零开始。 那么，你到底该如何实现呢？ 我们的用户运营主管 Nico 曾分享过一个视频，展示了如何使用 YouMind 在几分钟内将一个热门 YouTube 短片转化为一篇精美的博客文章。 这个演示对上面提到的那位用户来说是一个改变游戏规则的时刻，她曾多次尝试（并放弃）创作之旅。 她终于发布了她的第一篇文章，这完全归功于一个转变：她不再纠结于“我到底该写些什么？” 相反，每当她看到一个引发共鸣、灵感或争议的视频或文章时，她就会把链接扔进 YouMind。 砰。几秒钟后，AI 基于该来源生成了一份初稿。 就这样，空白页的噩梦成为了历史。 畅销书《像艺术家一样偷师》的作者奥斯汀·克莱恩（Austin Kleon）有一个绝妙的习惯，叫做“涂黑诗歌”（Blackout Poetry）。 他会拿起当天的《纽约时报》，抓起一支马克笔，涂黑 90% 的文字。剩下的词语呢？他会把它们串成一首诗。 图片来源：Slice of Time 克莱恩自己也说：他从不在一张白纸上开始写诗。 这就是《像艺术家一样偷师》的精妙之处：创作并非凭空发明一切——而是寻找正确的火花。 报纸是他的火花。在文字的海洋中筛选出珍宝，对他来说，创作变成了一场有趣的寻宝游戏。 在化学中，活化能是启动反应所需的最低推动力。 一张白纸迫使你从纯粹的意志力和你全部的人生经验中召唤出这种能量——足以吓跑我们 99% 的人。 但预先存在的材料呢？它就像一个催化剂，大大降低了能量壁垒。不再需要从无到有地创作——只需轻轻一推，想法就会涌现。 作为创作新手，跳过“写什么？”的焦虑。寻找那些让你兴奋的东西：一篇文章、一个视频，甚至是一条让你恼火的评论。 把它扔进 YouMind，快速记下你的看法——同意、不同意，或者加入你的观点——然后让 AI 根据来源和你的输入生成一份初稿。 看到了吗？这不是写作；这是聊天。而聊天？这对任何人来说都很容易。 当然，“借用想法”或“混搭”可能会引发警报： 这不就是赤裸裸的抄袭吗？ 如果你原封不动地把它放到网上，是的，那就是抄袭。 但那个火花是你的发射台，而不是终点线。 它就像营火的引火物：它能让你的小火苗熊熊燃烧。一旦火起来，引火物就会烧尽——你用自己的木柴来助燃。 当你把材料交给 AI，它吐出一份草稿时，请重新设定你的期望： 不要追求完美。事实上，要乐于接受混乱：平庸、笨拙、重复，充满了 AI 平淡无奇的陈词滥调。如果它有 60% 可用，那就是胜利。 你初稿的唯一使命是存在——这样你就有东西可以修改。 在安妮·拉莫特（Anne Lamott）的经典著作《像鸟一样》（Bird by Bird）中，她提出了“糟糕的初稿”概念，拯救了无数创作者免于自我怀疑。 她认为，每一部伟大的作品都始于你几乎无法忍受的一团糟。草稿只需要存在，即使它冗长且未经润色。 然而，我们大多数业余爱好者甚至无法写出一份糟糕的草稿——完美主义扼杀了摇篮里每一个蹩脚的句子。 所以，AI 登场了。它为你处理了那些令人尴尬的部分。 AI 没有自我，拥有无限的耐力。它能在几秒钟内轻松地完成那份必要但丑陋的草稿。 现在，你已从“写作”模式快速切换到“编辑”模式。 里克·鲁宾（Rick Rubin），这位约翰尼·卡什（Johnny Cash）热门歌曲和无数格莱美奖背后的传奇制作人，是一个彻头彻尾的异类。 他很少在软件中作曲、编曲或调整音轨。 那他是如何创造奇迹的呢？ 他会躺在沙发上，播放小样，然后大刀阔斧地删减。删到无可再删，然后重新混音——交换氛围，调整节奏。 在 AI 时代，鲁宾的风格基本上可以被称为“氛围制作”。 这是创作者的终极放松区。 盯着 AI 的陈词滥调输出？像鲁宾一样。跳过精心构思句子的压力——只需批判： AI 文本就像过滤水：纯净但无味。你的编辑为其注入了真实的生活——原始的经历、发自内心的情感、独特的偏见。 编辑比从头开始容易得多。 老派的创作方式让你成为一个雕塑家：面对一块空白的石板（页面），你用纯粹的毅力和技巧进行雕刻。每一次挥动都让你精疲力尽，一次失误就可能毁掉一切。 AI 颠覆了这一局面：现在你是一个园丁。你走进一片已经充满植物、泥土和杂草的土地。无需从头创造——只需决定：修剪枯枝，扶正花朵，滋养弱点。 雕塑家苦干；园丁享受。 我曾尝试过司美格鲁肽（semaglutide）——埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）大加赞赏的那种减肥针——来控制体重。 它备受争议（你好，反弹风险），但它教会了我一件事：减肥最难的部分不是饥饿或锻炼——而是迟迟看不到效果。 你努力节食锻炼一周，跳上秤……什么都没有。完全扫兴。 司美格鲁肽让开始变得毫不费力：一针下去，饥饿感消失了。我看到了快速的成效（主要是水分），而无需与我的大脑抗争。 我会想，“这没那么糟。”动力随之建立：我逐渐养成更好的饮食习惯，增加了锻炼。 等到我的身体适应了，它不再起作用时，我已经养成了扎实的习惯。 AI 在创作中的作用就像减肥一样：它能迅速突破启动的难关，让你在 10 分钟内完成一份草稿。这种快速的成功？它是让你坚持下去的诱因。 创作感觉就像徒手攀岩——没有绳索，只有纯粹的恐惧。 空白页就是你的悬崖：每个词都必须完美无缺。搞砸了？对胡言乱语、无关紧要或无人阅读的恐惧会耗尽你的动力。 AI 给你一个安全带。 请注意：它不会替你攀爬。 你仍然需要抓住每一个支点，锻炼肌肉，磨练技能。 但坠落？不再是一个选项。 即使一个句子失败了，一个想法泡汤了，你也不会坠落——你有那份草稿作为你的安全网。 你在攀爬，只是没有了恐惧。 更聪明地学习，更大胆地创作。 这是 YouMind 的标语。大胆是一个明智的选择。 你选择了一个跳过空白、带有内置保障的攀爬过程。 为了让抓住这个“安全带”变得轻而易举，YouMind 在圣诞节和新年期间提供七折优惠，外加节日福利。 在此处享受七折优惠： 不再独自面对空白。 祝你的 2026 年创作目标轻松实现——你只需要动动手指。 —— 本文及其视觉内容由 YouMind 共同创作。
YouMind 背后的故事
如今，我们花费数小时浏览无休止的YouTube视频、推文和Instagram帖子——结果却发现所有这些时间都没有带来任何真正的价值。这就像你饿的时候吃了一袋薯片：暂时满足，但最终却毫无意义。 就在前几天，我坐下来问自己，这种持续的信息过载对我们来说到底意味着什么。我们生活在一个充满“错失恐惧症”（FOMO）的世界里，总是在冲浪，总是在消费。但当我寻找答案时，一个童年记忆浮现出来，悄悄地提供了它的智慧。 我小时候喜欢和奶奶一起做饭。她会让我帮忙做些简单的活儿——洗菜、切蒜。她注意到了我的好奇心，有一天就放心地让我自己做一道菜。我按照她的指示，模仿她的动作，结果不知怎么的就做出了美味的东西。我感到自豪和快乐。 那第一道菜在我心中点燃了火花。随着时间的推移，我学会了做更多的菜，学会了尝试，学会了相信自己的直觉。毕业后，我开始独自生活，自己做饭。这从来不像是件苦差事。烹饪成了一种宁静的乐趣，一种小小的创造行为，给我带来了平静。我可能没有米其林星级的摆盘或风味，但我感受到的成就感是真实的——没有任何餐厅体验能与之媲美。 自互联网兴起以来，我们已成为不知疲倦的内容消费者。我们阅读，我们滚动，我们遗忘。但如果我们反其道而行之呢？如果我们利用所有这些内容，不仅仅是为了消费，更是为了创造呢？一个漂亮的土豆仍然只是一个土豆——直到你把它洗净、煮熟、调味，然后捣成温暖而令人满足的东西。想法也是如此。只有当你用它们做点什么时，它们才变得有意义。 创造是连接点滴的行为。它是意义产生的方式。你可能从写一段话中学到的比读十篇文章学到的更多。这就是YouMind背后的理念：构建一个工具，帮助你爱上写作，爱上创造，爱上将自己的思想塑造成真实的东西。 一旦你开始，你就不再漂泊。你是一个拿着桨的水手。你在掌舵自己的航向。你就是你自己的船——YouMind就是你的桨。你就是你自己的厨师——YouMind就是你的厨房。
Why You Still Haven't Started Creating？
Over the years running a podcast and creating content, I've been asked countless times: "How do you express yourself with such confidence, clarity, and logic?" My answer has always been the same: Write consistently. Speaking and writing are fundamentally the same skill, but writing demands more rigor in logic and rhetoric. It's a more intensive training ground for expression. So if you want to improve how you communicate, start with writing. And if you want to write well, start with consuming great content. Here's the thing though: you don't need to wait until you've accumulated enough knowledge before start creating. Input and output must happen simultaneously. Even if your first attempts are clumsy, you need to begin. Think of it like your digestive system: if you don't eat, there's nothing to process. But if you only eat without processing, you'll become constipated. A healthy system requires circulation—continuous input, continuous output, each feeding the other. Social media platforms have created a paradox: they've democratized the opportunity to create while simultaneously raising the bar impossibly high. Platforms tell us "everyone can be a creator," yet reality whispers that you need exceptional insights, depth, and style to break through. We're hungry to express ourselves, but we're blocked at the starting line by a nagging question: "Am I good enough?" Over the past year at YouMind, we've worked with thousands of creators. Some are seasoned professionals with formal training or established audiences. They use YouMind to draft blog posts, script videos, and outline podcasts before publishing across various platforms. But the majority of our users aren't what you'd traditionally call "creators." They're using YouMind to study, build products, write reports, or keep journals. So, are they creators at all? I'd argue yes. Before I started creating publicly, I spent a decade quietly writing hundreds of thousands of words in private. No one said creation has to be "for the public." A recipe you make for yourself, a proposal you write for your team, even a thoughtful social media post—if it went through the process of input, understanding, and output, that's creation. By this definition, YouTubers are creators, knowledge workers are creators, and anyone thoughtfully organizing their life is a creator. At least a quarter of the global population creates something every day. Most just don't think of themselves as "creators." So what's stopping these two billion people from claiming that identity? Looking back at my own creative journey and observing those around me, I've identified three artificial barriers to creation. These barriers have historically kept most people on the sidelines, whispering to themselves: "I'm not cut out for this." Until AI agents arrived, these gates seemed insurmountable. What are these three barriers? And how do AI agents help us overcome them? Overthinking is the biggest internal obstacle to creation. At YouMind, we require all team members to run social media. The content can be related to YouMind or completely personal. It can be about work or just life. This isn't busywork; it's essential training for understanding content and platforms, which is crucial when we are building an AI creation tool. This policy started with our marketing team, spread to product, and eventually reached engineering. I was already an experienced creator with established workflows. With AI agents, my output multiplied and even be able to publish daily without breaking a sweat. But several engineers confided in me their anxiety about this. It wasn't that they found making videos or writing posts technically difficult. They were afraid no one would care, afraid their content wouldn't be engaging enough. Deep down, they believed content creation was something only professional creators could and should do. More importantly, they felt their "amateur" work wasn't worthy of being seen. This hesitation isn't about capability. It's about a subtle but pervasive psychological barrier: imposter syndrome around creative expression. So how do less experienced creators overcome this feeling of unworthiness? The answer: let AI elevate the presentation. Many brilliant insights fall flat when expressed purely through text. Let me give you an example. Imagine a device that forcibly translates all arguments and screams into expressions of love. Observers think conflicts have been resolved and are moved to tears, but the people involved are trapped in false harmony, unable to voice their true feelings. Reading that paragraph, you'd probably find it mildly interesting at best—an unremarkable social commentary you'd scroll past in seconds. But this exact concept, when transformed through AI into a visually compelling comic strip, generated hundreds of thousands of views and thousands of likes within 12 hours. The creator did one extra thing: instead of stopping at words, he used AI to transform this concept into a vivid, satirical "Tom and Jerry" style comic strip. This creator uses AI to generate all his comics. AI helped him bypass the skill barrier of drawing, transforming their dark humor into engaging, shareable visual content. The results speak for themselves: this practice helped him gain over 7,000 followers within a month. Comics are just one option. Your scattered notes, messy reading highlights, fleeting inspirations—all can be instantly transformed by AI agents into polished videos, podcasts, presentations, or web pages. This elevation from pure text to multimedia fundamentally changes how you perceive your own output. Visual sophistication isn't just about aesthetics; it's about rebuilding creator confidence. When your work looks "professional," that nagging imposter syndrome dissolves, and you feel genuinely confident hitting that "publish" button. We've been conditioned to think of "input" and "output" as two distinct phases, where we must accumulate knowledge before we can produce anything worthwhile. This is a complete misunderstanding of how creation actually works. The real creative process looks more like this: consume some content, develop understanding, attempt to create, hit a wall, circle back to consume more (this time with specific questions), refine understanding, try creating again... and repeat. "Learner" and "creator" aren't two separate identities. They're the same one. You don't need to wait until you've mastered something before you start creating. When you research to answer a specific question, you're simultaneously a creator and a learner. Medieval European merchants faced a similar challenge, which led them to invent double-entry bookkeeping. Every debit must have a corresponding credit; every transaction must be recorded in two accounts to maintain balance. Creation works the same way. Think of it as "double-entry bookkeeping for knowledge." Every input should correspond to an output: - Read a compelling argument (debit: input)? Immediately jot down your counter-argument or extension (credit: output). - Encounter a great case study (debit: input)? Instantly consider how you could apply it to your own project (credit: output). Only when input and output are recorded simultaneously does knowledge truly transform from cognitive debt into cognitive assets. But here's the problem: balancing accounts isn't easy. Reading is enjoyable; taking notes requires effort. Organizing those notes later? Even more work. To avoid this extra energy expenditure, we often choose to skip the output entry entirely. AI agents dramatically reduce this friction. YouMind's founder, Yubo shared his practice on how to consume 10 podcast episodes in 1 hour while producing content for multiple platforms. Faced with hours of audio, he uses AI to transcribe it into text and rapidly scans for key insights. From the AI transcript, he quickly generates new angles, extracts interesting perspectives, and drafts long-form articles. Then AI adapts the content into social media posts. Listen to someone else's podcast, generate your own ideas. What used to be time-consuming input and burdensome output becomes one fluid motion. When input and output exist in the same continuous space, creation stops being a high-pressure emergency state and becomes a low-friction daily behavior. You don't need to constantly switch between "learner mode" and "creator mode" because you're always creating. This is why, once the workflow barrier is removed, creation returns to a state more aligned with how humans naturally think. Many people suddenly discover even though they haven't become more disciplined, they've simply started producing more naturally. Beyond fear and friction, the third mountain blocking creators is often unrealistic expectations: we believe we must have a unique voice. But to be honest, don't think you're that special. Even experienced creators don't all have distinct, recognizable styles—let alone beginners. When I worked in media, my editor's most frequent advice was: there's nothing new under the sun. Studying others' creative styles and writing about topics others have covered is the necessary path for all creators. After all, what worked before will work again. We need to normalize imitation. Our education systems overemphasize originality, creating unnecessary shame around imitation. But literary and artistic history proves that all mature forms of expression began with imitation. In writing, painting, and music, professional training always starts with extensive copying, transcribing, and replication. Benjamin Franklin documented how he practiced writing by imitating The Spectator: read excellent articles, take notes on their logic, wait a few days, then rewrite from memory, finally comparing his version to the original to identify gaps in language and reasoning. Hunter S. Thompson famously typed out The Great Gatsby word-for-word just to feel the rhythm of great writing through his fingertips. Even Mo Yan admitted that before finding his voice in "Northeast Gaomi Township," he spent considerable time as an apprentice at the "blazing furnaces" of Márquez and Faulkner. If masters do this, why should we feel ashamed? With AI agents, we can now go even further than these masters. We're no longer limited to clumsily imitating the abstract style. Instead, we can use tools to dive directly into more fundamental elements. Beautiful prose and unique voice are the skin. Logic, structure, and narrative strategy are the bones. Take those articles that make you want to stand up and applaud, or those interviews with profound insights. Feed them to AI and ask it to strip away the skin to reveal the skeleton. Learning masters' thinking patterns is far more valuable than superficially imitating their language. When you've absorbed enough mental models and infused them with your own experiences, your style will naturally emerge. If we look at these three barriers together, we see they're really the same issue manifesting at different stages: They all push creation into the future, onto some idealized future version of yourself: I'll start when I'm more mature, when I've learned more systematically, when I've developed my voice. While YouMind is an AI creation agent, we never allow it to diminish human agency. It simply ensures that quality expression no longer depends on natural talent or technique, that consistent output no longer requires superhuman discipline, and that style transforms from a privilege into a structural problem that can be analyzed, replicated, and iterated. AI has made creation accessible to everyone, but it will rapidly become the dividing line between people. Stop waiting for that ready perfect version of yourself. That ideal self will always be in the future. The one who can create is only you, right now, flawed but real. Go create. Now. --- This article and its images were co-created with YouMind.
