Two days ago, because I watched a certain drama, I wrote a drama review and received private messages from several readers.
They all said I was a good writer. Would like to ask me a question about writing.
I also went back and read those two articles, and the content was indeed written more heartily, and it can be seen that it resonates with readers.
But I don't think the writing is very good, but I just express what I want to express in my heart.
Maybe there aren't a lot of self-hilarious words, the text is more jumpy, and it looks like the writing is much better.
1. Writing is not something that can be done all at once, but it is accumulated in daily life
Reader friends said that she seems to have nothing to write sometimes, and she has written a diary before, but it is intermittent anyway, but it feels like there is no order.
I understand her troubled feelings.
When I first started writing, I was like this, I didn't know what to write, I didn't have any inspiration to write anything.
In fact, I want to say that it is okay to feel every day, write what you see every day, and write down your truest feelings.
Don't care if the writing is good or not, whether anyone reads it, and the most important thing is whether you really take action.
Writing is not something that can be done all at once, it is a little bit of accumulation in ordinary times.
Only when you write more, will you write more and more smoothly.
Haruki Murakami has been running for more than 20 years, and not only has the muscle shape of his body changed dramatically, but he said that many of the methods of writing novels were learned while running along the road in the early morning.
What a cool decision to stick to a right and beautiful little thing for three or five or ten years, and I look forward to changes and breakthroughs in the process.
It's the same with writing, keep writing, and you'll find that one day you'll be able to write beautiful essays.
2. There is no other way to write, only more "practice"
Writing is not something that can be done all at once, nor is it a system that will be organized and systematic when you start writing.
Writing sometimes requires thinking, such as thinking about what your position is and what the topic of writing is.
All writing is intermittent at the beginning, there is no system, and only when you write more will you slowly form your own writing system.
In other words, there is no other way to write, and the only way is to practice more. ”
I don't even dare to read the articles I wrote in 2019 now, because they really suck, but it is precisely because of so many years of practice that I have today's more and more smooth writing.
Here's a practical approach:
Write 100 words a day for 100 days and you'll discover the secrets of writing.
If you find yourself writing like shit, keep a diary every day, and then find that there is nothing to write about.
Then you have to think about how much you have to input, such as reading books, watching documentaries, traveling, and so on.
3. Don't think that you can't write well, let's take action first
Don't always feel that you can't write well, act first, it's more important than anything else.
I have a regular reading habit every day, and I have been developing a habit since 2021.
Read a book for 10-30 minutes a day, and then write 50-100 words of reading notes and post them in a memo on your phone.
Many people think that reading notes are not written after reading a book?
Actually, no, in fact, you can write while reading, if you write after reading a book, you may forget it after reading it.
Real reading notes: where you want to see, you have to record your sudden feelings in time, such as my reading notes mode, excerpt a paragraph, and then write your feelings.
If you don't know what to write, then if you read this article today, you can write about learning a new way of reading and this is something to write about.
You see that there is nothing to write about in life, and you have to dig into the material with your heart.
Someone said, "Sometimes I think a lot of things to write, but I don't know how to write, I can't write a few words for a long time, and then sometimes I feel that I don't know if it's right to write about those feelings." ”
Actually, what I want to say is, regardless of whether the idea is right or not, everyone feels differently.
In fact, there is no way to write, just practice more, practice more, and write like a god.
The second is to act immediately, many things cannot be done, and the root of the problem is not enough action.
Some people want to try to write, but they always feel that their foundation is poor, and they always want to wait for their foundation to be better before starting.
In fact, no matter how rich your theoretical knowledge is, you still have to start writing from 0 to 1.
The more you write, the more capable you will be, and the longer you write, the more solid your foundation will be.
The most important thing is not whether you have a good foundation, but whether you start to write and whether you are really expressing it in action.
As long as you do it, you have a chance to succeed, and if you don't do it, there is no chance of success.
