As a creator, if you want to write original and good articles, you can work hard and practice in the following four aspects:
1, learn to add and subtract
Writing is often a process of subtraction first, then addition and finally subtraction. For example, when writing, we will have a lot of wild ideas in our minds. If you want to write them out, you must first do subtraction, deletion and integration. After defining the theme of writing, we should start to add, and constantly add content to this theme to enrich the content; After enriching the content, we should do subtraction, delete or modify the content, or follow some frameworks, limit the number of words expressed and streamline the key points we want to say.
The same is true of the reading notes we write most often. First do subtraction to thin down the book or a chapter of the book (delete integration); Then do addition, add some thoughts, feelings and cases after reading comprehension; Finally, do subtraction, modify, delete, rearrange and combine the written contents, and finally write them out.
2. Keep trying to imitate
When it comes to imitation, many people think of plagiarism, and plagiarism and imitation are easily confused. Actually, imitation is an exercise, not plagiarism. Plagiarism is to take others' achievements as your own, and imitation is to learn and learn from them. For example, technicians disassemble a car and understand its principle. For example, we learn China's calligraphy, copy other people's works and master some writing skills.
Of course, if you want to avoid letting others see that you are imitating at a glance, you can find more objects to imitate when imitating. If you only imitate one person and are influenced by one person, others will say that you are imitating one person, and you are next. But if you imitate (learn) 100 people, others will say that you are born and have your own characteristics.
3. Handwriting stimulates creativity and computer editing.
Nowadays, many people are used to writing directly with computers. Computer editing is really convenient, but it is not so good for creativity. Because we have too many opportunities to press the delete button on the computer, it will make each of us become an anxious perfectionist. Before the idea was formed, we began to fix things in the east and change things in the west, and creativity slipped away in repeated revisions and deletions. Many people should have a similar experience, typing a lot of lines, feeling unsmooth and deleting them; I wrote a story and felt it was not perfect. Delete it.
When writing, there are usually two difficulties: first, the opening of writing is often difficult, because it is not very good and suitable, so it took half a day to write it; Second, writing and writing, suddenly found that there is nothing to write, no idea. Therefore, it is not recommended to write directly on the computer at first. It is recommended to use handwriting to stimulate creativity and quickly record your thoughts. You can draw a mind map first (as long as you can understand it yourself, you don't need to pay too much attention to form), so that all kinds of messy ideas in your mind can fall to the ground and become the direction of our writing and the window to extend the content.
4. Get into the habit of collecting everywhere
As a creator, you should have the habit of collecting good ideas and good materials anytime and anywhere, such as reading books, browsing the web, watching movies, talking with people, observing life, etc. These are opportunities again and again. You can use a notebook or collect notes at any time, such as copying your favorite paragraphs in a book, writing down your conversations with others, writing down your observations and thoughts, and so on. Whether it is useful now or not, as long as it is interesting or possibly useful, please record it first. You can open it and tidy it up when you have time. This is also a process of increasing the impression, which can be used more easily.
