Learning to write: an effective way to improve yourself (1)

In fact, the most correct answer to how to start writing is: start writing directly, but many people still won't start writing. In fact, there are several main problems:

First, I feel that my writing is poor and I don't start. As long as you don't start, you can't write well, so start writing anyway. If you write badly now, you will get better if you write. Strong people who can write their signatures with pens can never write, but they practice longer than you.

Second, you are afraid of being laughed at when you write. Actually, this is unnecessary. First, you are not important enough to laugh at you. Second, only if you write better than others, others will criticize and attack you when you are so good that you threaten others' sense of superiority. Before you surpass others, you will not be laughed at, but may be encouraged.

Third, it is unrealistic to want to eat into a fat man in one bite. Just like learning to walk as a child, you should learn to stand first, then walk slowly, then let go of your hand slowly, and then learn to walk slowly. Learning to write is the same, but step by step, starting from a few crosses, to hundreds of words, and then to thousands of words. It's impossible to start with thousands of words. You are not that smart, and others are not that stupid.

The fourth is laziness. Many people want to wait until they are ready to write. In fact, these are lazy interfaces. They are looking for an excuse to delay. In fact, there is a saying that if you do it first, you will be half successful.

Fifth, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, if you can't insist, this won't work either. Only by adhering to the correct methods and continuous training can we write better and better.

Perhaps many people think that writing is the ability of writing expression. In fact, this is not accurate. Generally speaking, as long as you can write an article of 800 words in the college entrance examination, even if you make up the number of words, you are capable of writing. Why is there a big gap between the articles written by everyone? Because there are different levels of thinking, some people can see the essence behind the whole event, as well as the connection with other things, the future development trend of the event, and some people can't.

Why is everyone's thinking level different? Because the investment is different. Without continuous, massive and high-quality input, your thinking and output are powerless, empty and lacking.

Therefore, writing is the output after thinking input, so the three elements of improving writing ability are input, thinking and output.

Let's first look at input, which is the premise of writing. Learning and growth is actually a process of continuous input, thinking and output. Only by continuous high-quality input can the brain have content, and then it can constantly master new knowledge, acquire new ideas and generate new thinking, so as to output content with long-term, stable and high quality. There are several ways to improve the input effect. 1 is to improve your input intensity. Under the same conditions, the more people read, the better the effect will be. Of course, this also requires continuous and stable reading. It is impossible to fish for three days and dry the net for two days. 2. Improve your input standard. If you are with garbage, you will become garbage. 3. Improve your input effect, that is, when reading, you should constantly bring your own work and life scenes, think while reading, and take notes. When you encounter good content, you should read it repeatedly, and you should also hold a critical thinking and learning attitude. It is better to believe in books than not to have them.

The second is thinking, which is the essence of writing. Thinking ability determines cognitive level, cognitive level determines judgment, and judgment determines choice. A person's life is made up of countless choices. Choice determines fate. How is your life? Choice is very important. For example, Cai Chongxin chose to start a business with Ma Yun. Although he can live well without Ma Yun, he is certainly not as successful as he is now. How can I improve my thinking ability? There are also several ways. 1 is a habitual inquiry into the nature of things; Second, habitually establish knowledge connection, that is, weave the learned knowledge points into a knowledge network, learn to explain new knowledge with what you have learned, and put new knowledge into your own knowledge system; 3. Accustom yourself to applying what you have learned. Only by applying what you have learned can you say that you have learned. The process of applying knowledge is the process of improving one's thinking ability.

Finally, the output, that is, the result of writing. There are several ways to improve the output capacity. 1 means to write continuously every day, even if you only write dozens or hundreds of words, you should continue to write. Second, people learn to write stories and opinions, and people are used to getting inspiration from stories; 3. Establish your own writing process. Writing is a systematic project, including setting a theme, drafting a title, building a framework, searching for information, writing a first draft, typesetting, proofreading, polishing and many other steps. Everyone has his own writing habits, so you need to establish your own process to improve efficiency and ensure quality. 4. Establish your own feedback system. How you write needs feedback, and you can constantly improve according to the feedback.

When writing, we usually talk about public writing, which means writing for public publication. He has several advantages: 1 can improve your writing level with the help of external pressure, and can make you take writing seriously, thus improving the requirements for writing; 2. Use external feedback to improve your writing skills. After an article is published, you can get feedback from the real world within a period of time, such as the number of comments, likes and shares. With these real feedbacks, you will know more about who you are and how to become better. With the help of external motivation, you can drive yourself to write for a long time. After publication, it can be recognized by others. When needed, you can write for a long time. 4. Only public writing is truly complete writing. A complete writing should include author, reader, content and interaction. Without any of these elements, writing is incomplete. The message below the article can greatly enrich and supplement the content of the article. In a sense, they have become a part of the article. Just like the short video with vibrato, the message is also a part of the short video. Many people brush short videos, but actually watch them the most.

Some articles we think are well written, but we can't explain why; Also, sometimes, you write an article seriously and polish it well, but after publication, the feedback is average, while some things are written casually but can get a lot of praise. These situations often happen, and aesthetics often does not need to know the principle, but those who create beauty must have methodology, otherwise it is impossible to continue to create. The author says there are five criteria to judge a good article.

1 is to provide new knowledge and create value, that is to say, your article should have new knowledge, new ideas, new materials, new stories or new perspectives. With these new things, it will be valuable to others and someone will read them;

Second, there is a large amount of information and high density, that is, there needs to be enough valuable things, not long-winded nonsense;

3. Strong logic and wonderful demonstration;

Easy to understand, not too cold, so that most people are discouraged, nor vulgar. It just caters to people's desires, that is, it needs to simply write something valuable for most people to understand.

Be sincere, don't flatter or preach in the article, just like chatting between friends.
