How do I feel about persisting in writing my first novel?

With the encouragement of my friend Lan Pangshuo in the writing group, I started serializing my first novel without any preparation.

Before writing, I always felt that my writing skills were not enough, I had too little accumulation, and I was afraid of discontinuing the work or ending it. Although I have always dreamed of becoming an online writer, various worries have prevented me from having the courage to write.

I have always thought that writing novels requires knowledge of astronomy and geography. Without a massive knowledge base, there is no way to write anything. If there is no outline, it is doomed to failure.

I once read a reference book "Write a Novel in 30 Days". The book mentioned that as long as you set a number and arrange how many words to write every day to complete it, then you will definitely complete it within the specified time. of. As long as you persist and don't give up, the characters in your novel will become more and more vivid.

I always have a skeptical attitude. I always feel that it is not rigorous enough to treat words and that the attitude towards novels is too superficial. I stubbornly insisted on what I thought was right. I wanted to do everything perfectly at once, so I didn't dare to write because I was afraid of failure.

Fat Paper undoubtedly gave me a lot of help and support. His encouragement made me full of confidence in myself and gave me the motivation to move forward when I thought I didn’t have any ability. .

After I started writing, I kept telling myself that for my first novel, don’t worry about whether it’s good or bad, and don’t worry about whether it’s perfect. For me, the most important thing is what you will gain and what you will learn after writing. Thinking about it this way, my requirement for myself is that no matter what difficulties I encounter, I must persist in writing it.

I insist on getting up at 5:30 every day, and start writing after washing up. I don’t have a clue every day, and I don’t know what I will write before I write every day.

As long as I sit there every day, within the specified time, I constantly force myself to keep writing without stopping. Relying on this belief, I suddenly found that as soon as I typed out the first paragraph every day, a stream of words would flow out, and what I typed on the keyboard would always be more and more energetic than what I thought of.

After writing a few articles, I began to have an outline of the story and an ending. After starting like this, I will do exactly what Teacher Zeng Hong said during the lecture, write whatever I think, and write wherever I think. I had a main line in my mind, and then I was thinking that I must constantly pave the way for the main line, bury the plot, and create twists and turns. This is what novels are like. Only by constantly creating and resolving troubles can there be exciting parts and arouse readers' desires.

After having this understanding subconsciously, I began to persevere with confidence, and there was a group of like-minded friends who continued to support and encourage me.

As I walked step by step, I discovered that in the process, the characters in my novels were really just like those mentioned in the book "Writing a Novel in 30 Days". My characters became more and more like Fresh, more and more flesh and blood, and more and more exciting.

Occasionally, individuals will criticize, but I always ignore it automatically. I keep comforting myself that the more those people look down on others, the more incompetent they are. That kind of people often have no abilities, and on the road of self-growth, as the writing becomes more and more mature, there will be more and more provocative people.

Thinking about it this way, I stay in a happy mood every day and look forward to the daily novel updates. During the serialization process, I really attracted a lot of loyal fans to myself. One day when the novel was not updated in time, a friend sent me a private message asking me why it was not updated. I always meet many people who say that they have read my novels in one sitting. When I hear these words, they really touch me.

In the process of persisting in writing serials, I found that my mind was slowly opened up and no longer imprisoned. When I once read Mu Xin's literary memoirs, Mu Xin said that in literary creation, only when the mind is not imprisoned can we write smart things. I have a deep understanding of it through my own practice.

When thinking is no longer imprisoned, the grasp of words will be more comfortable, and the written words will be more spiritual and thoughtful.

At this time, I discovered that the reading volume had really increased, there were more and more fans, and more and more people recognized me.

After having such an experience, I really want to share it with everyone and tell everyone that writing a novel is actually not as difficult as imagined.

The key is to start. As long as you start writing by yourself, you will feel better and better, and you will write more and more. You don’t have to write an outline. As long as there is a clear main line and you know what kind of story you want to tell, it’s OK. You just need to fill the story with flesh and blood every day.

Of course, to this day, I still feel that I have not even started on the writing path, and I am not qualified to share it with you. Despite this, I still just want to write about my own thoughts and experiences. I hope that we can all be encouraged and go further on the road of writing from now on.

After writing the novel, I had an in-depth analysis of myself, found my own shortcomings, and the direction in which I need to work hard to improve in the future.

I always believe that writing still requires continuous practice. Only through continuous practice can we find our own set of routines. At that time, we will have a deeper understanding of words. Only when you understand it can you be considered to have started on the path of writing.
