1, writing is the brainstorming of the self: multiple selves, multiple doctrines, a bunch of concepts, multiple sets of methodologies, at different levels, dimensions, angles, time, collision, fighting, the author must not only stabilize the overall situation, but also vividly show the conflict, but also stir up the new meaning that is not realized in advance.
2. The first priority of writing is to clarify the theme, simply and directly cut into the theme, and delete those that have nothing to do with the theme or have little to do with it. Don't go around in circles, don't go around, don't hold back, get straight to the point, the important thing is said first.
3) When writing stories, I am a constructivist, and when I revise, I am a deconstructivist. A story that gives only one possibility of interpretation would be a waste of words. A detail, an echo, a contrast, three or two lines of words, is enough to tear down a Rashomon and build another Rashomon. Rich first, not right or wrong.
4, journalists really can't be too lazy.
a. The recording is given to shorthand.
b. The dialogue body is directly pasted upwards, which is called oral history.
c. Full of benevolence and morality, judicial perspective, shrew scolding street like comments, the name of the social instrument, who gave you the qualification of the instrument?
d. The mind is all about starting a deceptive click title.
e. Do not cross-validate multiple message sources.
f. No neutral balancing. In the name of social conscience, who needs to be conscientious of you?
g. Do not read, be bound by label prejudice in the anti-intellectual, unintelligent direct reaction, beautiful name, true feelings.
h. Even if you make a phone call, the WeChat chat is the actual recording, and the screenshot is ironclad evidence.
i. The reporter spent 100 hours, if he could save the reader 1 minute, apportioned to 100,000 readers, and also earned 16.6 times.
5. After the manuscript is completed, time permits, I will always revise. I've always been afraid of editing, and I hate it badly. I especially despise people who have not yet boasted about their own articles. Not confident enough to boast, it is better to take the time to revise one more draft. Some places, as long as you use force, it will be better. For example: change all long sentences to short sentences, delete words that have no information, condense a sentence into one word and integrate into the next sentence, use second-hand information to enrich details, deliberate verbs, supplement key close-ups, increase scenes, tenses and sense of involvement, use less pronouns, and clarify time and place.
6, text is technology. Text efficiency determines attention utilization. Thinking that Chinese do not need to learn, it will naturally be, it is the arrogance of science students. What nonsense: I learn the program, you will never understand, you read the history, I will look at it. The same meaning, my 80 words are concise, and your 100 words are not clear. In the past 100 years of life, I am 20% faster than you at every moment, and what an advantage should I have accumulated!
7, some people are very sure, my subject is not good. "You can tell stories, but the text is not clear and difficult to read." I said I was after the efficiency of the text, so I omitted it. The other person laughed.
8, omission is the most difficult rhetoric, the most efficient rhetoric, the most in need of brain repair rhetoric, the most misunderstood rhetoric, can refer to the largest rhetoric. The child is silent.
9, until today, when encountering good words and good words, I will search to find out the exact original meaning, so as to learn to use it correctly in the future. Writing starts with a rich vocabulary, and complex thinking also depends on vocabulary.
10, when I am old, the first to engage in IT oral history, can not get up, to teach news writing, no students, then go to business, business is not good, began to learn to cook. Useless, not happy.
