The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe - 13
I then looked around for the cat, to kill it. It had brought too much unhappiness into my life, and so it, too, must now die. I looked for it everywhere, but it had disappeared. I was free at last! That night I had a deep, peaceful sleep - I, who had just killed my wife, slept well!
Three days passed and still the cat did not appear. I was now a happy man, happier than I had been for a long time. I wasn't worried by what I had done. People had asked a few questions and the police had visited my house, but they had found nothing.
오늘은 조금만 내겠습니다. 여러분의 글이 좋을 때도 있고, 어수선할 때도 있는데, 하나의 과정이지만 한번 해 놓고 손을 떼지 말고 수정하는 버릇을 들이세요. 한번 본 문장하고 다시 한번 손 본 문장하고는 많은 차이가 납니다. 전문가들도 최소한 세번 정도는 수정 검토하고 많게는 20번도 넘게 수정하는 사람도 있다고 합니다. 물론 마감날짜 때문에 그렇게 오래 수정하기는 현실적으로 힘들지만, 문장이란 보면 볼수록 새로운 느낌이 나거든요. 성의 없이 글을 쓰지 말고, 정성을 기울이세요.
