For a novice who learns any skill, even a little progress will make you ecstatic. For example, learning hand-painting and watching yourself draw an animal in a complete and decent way on paper for the first time. Although it is not perfect, it is already a long time to be happy for you.

The same is true for writing. Every exercise will indicate that the next moment will be better than you are now. Even if you just move forward a millimeter and persist, you will always measure your own literary Mount Everest!

Today’s topic is: How to practice writing skills?

There are really many writing skills. I will write slowly, and you can read slowly. This process cannot be achieved quickly, because everything that is quick can either be given hormones or a small amount.

I will summarize the following points first, you can use it as a reference and just improve it a little bit.

1. Select a complete story first.

When a chef wants to make a delicacy, he needs many ingredients and prepares all the things to show their taste. The same is true for our writing. You must have a theme for an article, otherwise who knows what you are talking about. This theme can be a story, an argument of yours, and it is the core supporting the article.

So how do you find this topic or story? You can write about your love, the cities you have been to, the people you know, and the meal you have had from your own experience or the past.

Before performing this action, you should pay attention to choosing a story that has happened completely. What does it mean?

For example, when you prepare for a meal at the dinner table, you cannot write down the entire meal process in advance, because you cannot predict what will happen next. Maybe your friend will break the appointment, or maybe you will see a little bug in the dish, which will make you lose your appetite. After all, "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu because I am in this mountain."

When the story is over, jump out, observe it, and then write it.

2. Write this story repeatedly.

Why can someone tell stories so attractive? Why can others always write refreshing feelings with the same viewpoint? We can also do it, that is, write repeatedly and over and over again for the same thing.

For example, when we write about our father's story, the easiest thing to write about is past memories, such as when we hit you, when we buy good things for you, and his appearance. These are stored in our heads and can be easily taken out and put on paper.

But when you finish writing, how you feel dry and not lively or attractive. It doesn’t matter, write again from another angle. You can write about fatherly love, think about how to express it, and write it through some small details. You can refer to the passage in Zhu Ziqing’s prose “Back View” describing his father’s help to buy oranges.

The same is true for writing opinions. Taking the case of Liu Xin and Jiang Ge, which has been popular recently, many people are scolding Liu Xin. Why can't you just write about the real murderer Chen Shifeng? In addition, why did Liu Xin do that afterwards? Is there something wrong with the education he received since childhood? What inspiration can Jiang Ge's experience give us?

A thing is written repeatedly from different angles. This process is that we are sorting out our hearts and turning over the shallow thoughts on the surface. As long as we continue to process this original material, it will lead us to go deeper into ourselves layer by layer in a way that is not neurotic and find the real treasure. When you keep repeating the same topic and accumulate slowly, one day, your inspiration for this topic will burst out.

3. Don’t be afraid of writing nonsense.

Many people are afraid that their language is not concise enough when writing, and that the paragraphs are full of nonsense, or someone has commented on your article like this. Then before writing, you have to think twice about how to avoid these problems.

There is a saying that "when you are afraid of something, just hug something." For example, how to solve the problem of being afraid of heights? Go directly to the high building, look down, and look a few more times, and you will gradually become less afraid. Many people should have had this experience.

When writing, we should not be afraid of writing nonsense. Don’t you know that interpersonal communication starts with talking nonsense? At the beginning, don’t worry about whether the words are concise and accurate. It doesn’t matter if you are verbose. The key is that you have written them in full.

When you write too much, you will naturally know where to delete and where to change a better word. The nonsense in the article is like an onion. When wrapped in layers, the innermost part is the essence, which is the text that points directly to the hearts.

For novices, the more important thing is the courage to complete it, rather than worrying about how to write shocking articles immediately. Many great writers usually write more manuscripts than published books before completing a work, which is a process of deletion. So, don’t be afraid of writing nonsense, at least you have written it.

In addition, let me say more: Don’t be afraid that you are not good enough, and don’t be afraid of others’ criticisms of you. When you look back at the articles you wrote before, you will find it funny. Why is it so bad? It doesn’t matter. Doesn’t this mean you have grown up?

4. Writing is your poetry and distance.

Gao Xiaosong's sentence "Life is not just about the slackness in front of us, but also about poetry and the distance" has become the motto of many people. We can only survive due to livelihood, but through writing, you can still have poetry and the distance.

From books, movies, music, images, and people around you, you can know many things in the world and understand the customs and customs of various places. Many people who don’t leave their homes still have many things to write because they are good at using these resources.

You say you are busy with work every day and can't go out during the National Day Golden Week because there are people and cars everywhere. It doesn't matter, isn't it easy to understand the world at home now?

You can also use a short weekend, one or half a day, to go anywhere in the city, sit down, slow down, and look at the people around you, street view, little girls fiddling with goods in the shop, and old men selling roasted sweet potatoes. You will always find something.

Even if you are gathering and chatting with friends, drinking and talking about the mountains, you can broaden your horizons. We should stand by like the three-eyed crow in "Game of Thrones", watching others' life journeys carefully, and paying attention to what happened in this world.

When writing, you can know everything, you can be in a small countryside, but you know very well about the streets of BJ, and you can incorporate other parts of your life into yourself: "I am the wings of a crow, I will not return when I go far away."

You can use your writing to take up whatever you want, such as your dream partner, or your ideal life. Then let it go, because all you want is the training you want to write about them, and you don’t have to nostalgia or sigh.
