在石頭湯讀書會遇到的作家或繪本家都有共同的特色：大家都是很樸實的創作者，儘管過程不一定平順，但是每一個人總是認真地追尋自己的夢想。雖然陳肇宜老師已經出版許多少年小說，但他就像鄰家叔叔，婉婉道來寫作路上的挫折和契機，並且還帶了師母自製的茶葉蛋和前來的學員分享，讓人打從心中感受他的誠懇。
The authors or illustrators I've run into in the Stone Soup study club all share one thing in common: Everyone goes for their dreams with their full hearts. Though there might be ups and downs along the way, they never give up their dreams. Though Mr. Chao-y Chen, a well-known Taiwanese teenage novel writer, has published many books, he's just like a next-door neighbor, never hesitating to share his life stories. He even treated us to home-made tea-stewed eggs prepared by his wife. I certainly felt his touching sincerity.
上老師課已經是一個半月前的事了，所以於此我想簡錄老師的經驗和智慧：
一、唸「文學作品讀法」可以教我們如何賞析作品，說得出作品的好處。
二、大量閱讀，唸「國語日報」很有幫助。
三、老師小時候覺得很孤獨，常胡思亂想，而我想這對於蒐集靈感有益。
四、一篇文章必須有爆發力。
五、老師說：「我不是有天份的人，但寫小說是我比較會做的事。」
六、多方位的寫作計畫、多參加比賽可以帶來更多機會。
七、確立寫作風格。
It has been one and half months ago since I went to Mr. Chen's talk, so I'd like to excerpt some helpful quotes:
1. Reading analyses of literary works can help us to see and say the beauty of a piece of work.
2. Read as much as possible. It's especially helpful to read The Mandarin Kids, a newspaper written for children in Taiwan.
3. Mr. Chen said he used to be a lonely child and that he often daydreamed, which I believe is rather beneficial in writing.
4. There should be an amazing climax in a piece of writing.
5. Mr. Chen said, "I am not talented, but writing is one of the things I am good at."
6. Writing in different styles and participating in contests can bring more opportunities.
7. It's essential to form a personal writing style.
