"Hi I'm Xixi, a freelance writer who lives in the world by writing, and a new player of unlimited games~"
Cheekily, I'm the best frame of reference.
A hand of cards that was so bad that he climbed out of the abyss by relying on the thick hemp rope of writing.
My family poured cold water, my friends teased me, and no one recognized me, so I secretly hid and wrote.
I've changed seven or eight pen names, written that their voices can no longer catch up with my back, and that I don't have to prove to anyone anymore that I'm OK.
So far, although I have not become a blockbuster and become rich, I have indeed changed my life through writing, and I have lived a life that I will never forget.
During the day, I earn a living by writing and earn manuscript fees, and at night, I use the free time I earn from writing to write something that I really approve of for Aidian.
Nothing is more satisfying than my current life. Thank you so much for writing.
Today, I would like to briefly share with you my writing secrets, which are very suitable for ordinary people:
(1) Avoid ambiguity
It doesn't matter what track it is, pick one and write it first.
Tearing open a bite first is 10,000 times better than hesitating in place.
This is how Xixi came over, essays, drama reviews, film reviews, emotional essays, chicken soup essays, character drafts, novels, and business copywriting have all been tried, and finally found the two ways of novels and graphic self-media.
(2) Find out the reason for the delay in starting
Is it perfectionism, shame, or fear?
Afraid of being discovered by acquaintances, he takes a pen name and keeps his mouth shut until he achieves something.
Open a self-media account, for fear that relatives and colleagues will brush it, then at the same time as not showing your face,
Life, and not as many viewers as you think.
(3) Find the point of force and persist for three months
Don't be skeptical while doing it.
When the seed is buried in the soil, it has to go through a long period of darkness before it can germinate.
Any skill, after 3 months of deliberate practice, will usher in quantitative changes, please give yourself a little patience.
(4) Sharpen your knives before writing
Spend 3 days researching information on your chosen field, including but not limited to, writing tools and books, quality work, role models to learn from, monetization channels, progression plans, and estimated time.
For example, "Methods of Writing", which I read not long ago, is a very practical and powerful tool book that counters the anxiety of ordinary people.
The author, Mr. Lingyi, is a senior writer I like very much.
She's in this book,
Comprehensively and meticulously answer the small doubts of an ordinary person in all aspects before learning to write. It can be said to be very intimate.
(5) Regularly record your own growth
Daily review, weekly review, monthly review, one-year review, set of templates, do it.
You may not see the results in a day, a week, or a month, but don't underestimate the results of your efforts after three months, half a year, or a year.
Honest records, from the number of words written, the time spent, the number of reads, the number of interactions, to the manuscript fee, start small.
When you climb to the top of the mountain one day in the future, you will look back and thank yourself for being who you are now.
(6) Restrain the desire to seek recognition and show off to the outside world
Keep your mouth closed and work hard.
Whoever you want to seek approval is empowering the other person.
Once the heart of gain and loss arises, the mind will be unstable, and the action of writing will also be deformed.
Don't tell the people around you, learn to steal the fun, bloom flowers in the loneliness of writing, and enjoy yourself.
(7) Find your writing role model
When you are slacking off and doubting yourself, go and see them.
I also have periods when I am lazy and don't want to write, so I take the time to flip through the dynamics and works of role models, and I feel like I'm good again.
Looking at it this way, each author seems to live alone on a different planet, constantly emitting his own signal, telling friends on the same frequency, "Don't be afraid, write it down, I'll always be there." ”
Hopefully, I can be a role model for some people to write as well.
Well, that's all for what Xixi wants to share with you today. If the content is helpful, please don't forget to give me a thumbs up. Your support is the driving force for me to continue to create~ Bixin [heart]
