How to quickly write an article with clear logic and delicate writing style

Written at the front:

This is my analysis and summary of my personal writing experience. If there is any inappropriateness, please correct me.

From a novice in literature, to loving writing, to writing the first 200,000 words in my life. I have gone through the following stages:

The first leap: from being afraid of picking up a pen to being able to write fluently

I am good at writing rational articles. At the beginning, I thought very clearly about what I wanted to write and could express it clearly, but I just couldn't write it out. At this time, I felt a blocked feeling inside. I couldn't spit it out or swallow it. It was stuck.

What to do? I can write as much as I can, and I can write as much as I can. After you finish writing, read your article and see what you can change it into, then send it to your classmates to read, collect suggestions, and then make another change after thinking about it. Then I will ignore this article for the time being, because I know that if I only focus on this article, it will be like walking on one leg. Therefore, I will quickly start writing the next article.

Just use this simple method and practice repeatedly, and you will slowly be able to write fluently. Although the writing style is still average, there is a sense of pleasure when writing.

Second, from smooth writing to clear logic and delicate writing style

After joining the writing class, I wrote more and practiced diligently. But after I saw that I could write, I saw that my classmates wrote very logically, but my own articles always felt a little disorganized.

Then I thought about it, which kind of person I like to practice by myself. However, I am good at observing other people's writing methods and techniques, but I will not rigidly imitate them, so my personal style is quite obvious.

After discovering this problem, I started to make an outline. I found that when I have an outline before writing an article: first, it will not go off topic; second, there is no need to scratch your head; third, it is simple and easy, just like a grid game.

Third, from clear logic to quick publication,

Writing articles at this stage is already relatively fast. Give me a topic and it can basically be completed in more than an hour.

So how to quickly produce a logically clear article?

After getting the theme, first pick a point. When we are still not able to control words well, we can start from one point first, and then go deeper into each subject. For example, when we write "My Mother", everyone will think of my mother as a hard-working person. How hard-working is she? How to reflect her hard work?

At this point, we have to choose the material. For example, the habit of getting up early, what do you do when you get up early, and how do you do it? With a short story and a close-up of details, the high-level feel of the article comes out. If you just write about your mother getting up early in the morning, it may not be able to highlight your mother's hard work. If you compare it with other people's mothers, it will be different. For example, a certain mother was still in bed in the middle of the sun, calling her children to get up quickly, while she was also lying in bed. My mother had made breakfast early, and the smell of the food woke me up. Adding a little sensory description will make a big difference, and readers will have an immersive feeling.

Another example is the story about the hardworking mother. Every time I hold my mother’s rough hand, I like to touch the calluses on her hand. The calluses on her hands were hard, and when she took my mother's hand and put it on my face, it felt like there were thorns. These are a pair of hands that work often, and it goes without saying how hard-working the mother is. Through the calluses, everyone has a sense of the picture. For example, I am learning from my mother's quickness in work, her mother's hard work, and her bent back due to overwork. Such a description would not be self-talk. My mother is very hard-working. She has written a lot of adjectives. Others may feel that you are flaunting your mother. But the details are different and he is very convincing.

These details are described well, and there is a story! An article has flesh and blood. After reading it, it will leave an impression on the reader just like a flying goose leaving a sound.

For example, when you write about mother, after reading it to others, it seems like you can see your mother working hard. Well, even if you don't say how hard-working your mother is, everyone can recognize a hard-working mother. It’s not like you have to sing the carols, it’s up to the readers to read them. Finally, when you write lyrically, readers will naturally be able to relate to you.

4. Compulsory skills for writing articles quickly

1. The purpose of the article, the intention of writing the article

The purpose of the article is what kind of article you want to write, How do you want readers to feel after reading your article. Or, what kind of useful information do you share, your own happiness or sadness, the understanding and experience you gained from this matter, and the principles you realized. In other words, what kind of article do you want to write about?

The motivation for writing an article is the impulse you have before writing the article. For example, I often say that I will die if I don’t write. It is a desire to express. For example, when I wrote "Alive", I knew that what I wanted to express was to let my readers cherish their current life after reading it through the story. There is a very miserable protagonist in the article. He experienced a lot of pain, and finally he realized that life only exists as long as it lasts. In other words, every life will one day dissipate. This does not affect living well while it exists. When life still exists, as long as you don't dwell on the past, are not afraid of the future, and live in the present, life will have its loveliness. What the protagonist realizes is that being able to still love and still love is the sign of being alive.

It’s interesting, sometimes your writing may not be very good and your expression may not be particularly clear. Some people are very good at reading your intentions, and they can also see your heart and your *** in your messy articles. This is a very magical phenomenon, so we need to be aware of the motivation behind our writing. The more kind the intention is, the more friends we will like it.

2. Establish a logical framework

At this time, we have all thought about what we want to express in the article, so the second step is how we want to express it. Should we use the total score or the total score, whether it should be a flashback, an interlude or a narration, and how to divide the levels into hierarchies. These are all the logical frameworks for writing articles.

After reading the illogical article, I felt very confused. I once described an article written by a student. The article is very long and talks a lot without any clue or structure. For a while he was talking about people, and then he immediately jumped to dogs, talking and running to catch fish again. After reading it, I felt very confused. I really didn’t know what the author was trying to express. It was really confusing.

Therefore, it is very important to establish a logical framework so that the written article will be clear and organized. It makes people want to read on and feel comfortable with this article after reading it. I also understand what the author wants to express.

With the logical framework, we can write articles quickly, and we will not be like a headless fly not knowing where to fly.

3. Material search

Our experience, observation, thinking and reading are our four major materials.

Now that we have the idea for an article, we have to search for materials in our minds.

How do we search for material in our minds?

My own method is like this. I first understand my own logical framework and keep it in my heart silently. Then I like to meditate quietly, think about it first, and see how to write and what materials to use. After I finish thinking about it, I mentally map out my library of materials.

Now our material library is out, as is the logical framework.

Then select the materials based on the logical framework, the intention and motivation of writing the article. Then, the materials are put into place in an orderly manner, and a piece of article comes out!

Even if such an article is not modified, it will not be too messy. Now I publish articles relatively quickly. I can write two or three articles a day without any problems. Sometimes I write 10,000 words a day. I don’t feel pain or struggle when writing articles, even though my writing is not that proficient yet.

But the expression is relatively clear. In terms of writing, some of the techniques I have learned can be used well. What should I do if the article is still not good?

Articles are distilled from our thoughts. At this time, what needs to be improved is personal cognition, as well as one's experience, three views, reading accumulation and other issues. And these problems cannot be solved simply through writing exercises.

Therefore, it is wrong to confuse different concepts together and attribute the problem of insufficient knowledge and lack of outstanding articles to the problem of one's own writing level. So what we should consider is the issue of input.

Fourth, how to practice in practice

After listening to so many courses edited by Chief Liu, the methods have been explained in detail. It is said that simplicity leads to greatness, so simply practice some of the methods given to us by the editor-in-chief, and the power of persistent writing will come out. I often tell everyone that I have writing cancer, that I will die if I don’t write, and that I am terminally ill.

That is mainly due to the fact that I have received some inspirations, acquired some practical methods through practice, and have become more familiar with these methods. Then naturally, I like to use these methods to do the things I like to do, such as writing continuously.

For example, let me write articles about hot topics. After careful reading, I can write ten articles for each hot topic. It is also important to practice in depth and master one subject from different angles. But we can continue to write articles from different points and aspects, which actually improves our cognitive system invisibly. Then, when you look at something again, it will no longer be one-sided, and slowly the language will become sharp and powerful, and at the same time, it is compassionate.

5. Where should I put the effort in learning writing? How?

In particular, it is necessary to emphasize "where" the effort in learning writing should be focused. This is also the secret of learning, that is, you cannot be satisfied with literal understanding, but practice it. In practice, you always try your best to learn. Even so, you have to work hard from now on until you have accumulated a certain amount of effort. Only then can we achieve something. The knowledge obtained from books is ultimately superficial. In the end, if you want to understand the essence of things or events, you must rely on personal practice to deepen your understanding. Only in this way can you turn the knowledge in books into your own practical skills.

What you get on paper is never profound enough. To truly understand the deep meaning, it often comes from one's own real experience in life practice. In many things, I only truly understand the truth after running into walls, going through hardships, and going through detours. In writing, you also need to go from being grandiose to being down-to-earth and moving forward steadily, from being fluttering and shaky to being as solid as a rock. By that time, it will be very difficult for you to give up. Maybe it was harder to give up at that time than to keep writing, just like quitting drugs. This is the case for me. I can’t bear to tell me not to write. So I often tell my classmates that if I don’t write, I will die. I have a disease. This disease is called cancer, which means I will die if I don’t write.

Luo Li talked a lot, thank you all for reading! I hope that everyone will go further and further on the road of writing, find yourself, become yourself, and let your light shine. As long as you continue to practice hard and persist in reading, writing, and reading, you will definitely gain a better self from writing, writing, and reading. Finally, I wish you all a happy life, your writing skills will improve day by day, and you will be inspired every day!
