Chapter 0207 Two Ways to Write

When the scene fell silent, Lin Feng was named. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Meng Xiao?" Su Guangsheng saw that Lin Feng didn't react, and thought that he was thinking, so he reminded him again.

"Hey! Mengxiao, don't look at it. ”

"Uh, ahem." Being secretly pushed, Lin Feng came back to his senses, and said without blushing and heartbeat, "What everyone shared just now was so wonderful, I accidentally fell into contemplation." Sorry, sorry. ”

……

The person who pushed him was speechless for a while, look at the people, it really doesn't change his face when he tells lies, no wonder he can write such a good work, this is the foundation!

But those who don't know what's going on, of course, feel very useful after hearing this, and it seems that this guy who likes to scold people at every turn is not so annoying.

"Awards, awards."

"It's Meng Xiao's modesty that is humble."

"We're sharing those humble opinions, and we're all looking forward to hearing from you."

"In that case, then you can get started." Su Guangsheng nodded and said.

"Okay, then you're welcome." Lin Feng said and stood up.

"Don't you need to prepare?" At this time, Su Guangsheng saw that this guy didn't even have a notebook. Everyone else has a program when they speak.

"Editor-in-Chief Xie Su's kindness, but I'll just say a few words casually, so I don't need to. So, I'll get started. ”

Everyone nodded in anticipation.

"You have all shared some of your writing tips, and I have benefited from it. As a new author, I won't talk about these experiences. I'll just talk about my views on the writing of the article and the sustenance. Of course, I think it's just me saying it, it will seem quite one-sided, and the so-called one-sided words will not be perfect, so if you have any questions, you can interrupt me at any time to raise them, and I hope you don't see them. ”

Hearing him say this, many people's eyes changed for a while, and this guy was really as unkind as rumored. No matter what others say, he doesn't follow the trend. But it's even better, it's nice to hear some new things to say, and the discussion is far more interesting than just listening.

"First of all, I think writing can be divided into two categories. One group of people writes for themselves, while the other type of people writes for others. ”

Seeing that he was ready to start, many people put on a posture of listening attentively, but did not think about participating in the discussion. After all, when each of them was talking just now, no one interjected. There are even a few people who think it is disrespectful to interrupt others while they are speaking.

It's just that they didn't expect that as soon as Lin Feng said a word, someone couldn't help but ask.

"Written for yourself? Isn't that a notebook or a diary, how can it be considered a category of writing? ”

Obviously, a lot of people think this way. Although he didn't take the initiative to speak, he nodded his head in unison, agreeing with this question. Diaries and notes really don't count as writing, I've heard of writing notes, I've written diaries, but I've never heard of writing notes.

"Not a diary or a notebook, of course. I'm not referring to the form of writing in private, but to the form of writing that is written for the purpose of satisfying one's own heart. He's corresponding to the second way of writing I'm talking about -- writing for someone else. ”

Shake one’s head.

It's good that he doesn't explain this, but as soon as he explains, the dozens of writers present are confused. Since it's not a diary or a notebook, isn't it just for others to read, and everyone here writes works for others to see. It is also written for others to see, how can it correspond?

It seemed that he had thought of their question for a long time, and Lin Feng continued: "Let's say so. Some people write a work, and what they want to express is some of their own ideas, or their own opinions. The starting point is to put myself at the core, and I classify this type of writing as writing for myself. This kind of person often has a deeper personal concept in his works, and has more of his own thoughts, even one-sided thoughts. For example, some autobiographies, such as the best-selling book "I'll See" a few years ago. ”

"Oh." Someone nodded, "I understand a little bit of what I said, but I also feel that I don't understand it thoroughly, so what does it mean to write it to others?" We all write for others. ”

Lin Feng smiled and nodded at him, and continued: "In my thinking, writing to others is to write from the perspective of the reader's needs. Sometimes there are no personal thoughts mixed in the article, and sometimes even in order to cater to the market, they will write something they don't like, and the reader will write whatever he likes. ”

"Oh, I see."

"I didn't expect Meng Xiao to have such an understanding of writing."

But isn't the author of the second way of writing living in a helpless way? I can't express my feelings in the article, but I have to write something I don't like. Does that sound like it was written just to please the reader? ”

"Well, I agree with that. If that's the case, then I'd rather not write, there must be a bottom line to be a human being, especially a literati like us, we must have a literati style. ”

"That's right. If that's the case, what's the difference between going to work? ”

……

For a while, there was everything to say, and Su Guangsheng sat on it and watched everyone's discussion, smiling without saying a word. seems to be an indifferent attitude, but in fact, his heart is very shaken.

Why haven't I thought about this idea before! I've been an editor for so many years! Meng Xiao was so right.

Other authors may have written their own and not yet realized this. But as an editor who reviews manuscripts all day, he can easily understand what Lin Feng means. Thinking about it along Lin Feng's train of thought, it is true that many authors write things purely for themselves, that is, they just want to express their own opinions, and do not consider whether they are consistent with the views of public readers. Or in other words, I want to sway the minds of the masses more when I write it!

And in the current book market, the kind of "books written for others" that Lin Feng said should be some books that entertain the public and are despised by many literati, right?

But often that type of book is the bestseller! And those books that only focus on expressing their own ideas are still somewhat attractive to some new readers, after all, they are hearing it for the first time. But for some regular readers, it doesn't have much appeal.

Thinking of this, he began to become more and more interested in Lin Feng's views. He asked, "Why do you write if you don't like it?" ”
