Self-reflection

This book feels like it was written in a mediocre way, but it is nearing the end, and the next book will continue to work on it. Here are some reflections:

I think writing this is a bit like the homework that our teachers gave us when we were in elementary school.

Look at a picture, then use your imagination to describe what is in the picture in words.

Don't underestimate the skill of "looking at pictures and talking", many adults are now unable to describe a picture with vivid words, let alone the storyline that flashes in their minds.

Most people lose this skill by the time they finish primary school. It's hard for me to describe what I have in my head.

In my opinion, the best description of scenes and plots is to give the reader a sense of the picture in their minds when they read the work.

That's what I'm talking about coming from the "picture" and going back to the "picture".

After extracting the keywords of the picture, it is our description of the scene and the characters.

The description of the scene should be combined with the things in the scene, for example, the things in the keywords we extracted above to better show them, we can refer to the "camera movement" technique during film shooting.

Scenes can be depicted from far to near, or from near to far, but remember not to let your "camera" slosh.

In the description of the characters, it is necessary to combine the appearance, characteristics, and psychology of the characters to describe, and integrate them with the scene at the moment.

Like most authors, I started writing because of my interest, and after reading a lot of books, I felt that I could use words to describe the world, the people I wanted to write, and the things I wanted to write. Because I haven't gone through systematic learning to write and research writing, the content is always like a running account, the world I want to write about is a bit flat, the protagonist has no colorful experience, there is no plump character image, and there will be some problems with even the thinking logic after writing. In fact, this is all because we have interests but do not design long-term goals for the protagonist, and it lacks the most central thing in a book, which is the outline and plot design.

This is all because we have interests but do not design long-term goals for the protagonist, and it lacks the most central thing in a book, which is the outline and plot design. Many things I want to write, I can't write.

My pen is obviously not strong enough, and I am quite timid when describing the story in my head. This feeling is really scrambled eggs, and it is easy to kill the creator's creative enthusiasm. I felt less and less enthusiastic.

I have asked some bigwigs, and the way to break the game is to write more, practice more, and watch more. Even if you have to write hard, you really can't write it in a different book until you can write it for a long time. Even if the first book hits the street, there will be a lot of insights later.

They told me that it was normal to feel that they did not write well or that they wrote well. The process of writing is often a process of washing one's own soul, and the content is more or less related to one's own life experience, longing for beautiful things, and writing pleasing sentences: experiencing a moment of abuse, recording the unbearable side, and leaving a deep imprint. If you feel that you have written in the depths of your soul, you will feel that you have written well, and if you feel that you have not written to the effect that you are satisfied with, you will feel that you have not written well. If you really can't write it, put your manuscript off for a while, and take out the again, you will definitely feel that there is a lot of room for revision.

At the beginning, I felt that my thoughts were surging, my inspiration exploded, and the touching storylines were one after another in my mind, and I couldn't wait to write one or two thousand words a day, and I sat in front of the computer to code words, and my heart had flown to the podium of the best home of the year...

Although we have a lot of inspiration in our heads, we can't stand the writing too rusty... Therefore, many novice writers, especially after I have been writing for a while, will feel that nothing is pleasing to the eye when I look at the articles I have written, and I think of a particularly good brain hole, but I can't express it, so I fall into distress and blows...

I chose to continue to write according to my old methods and routines, believing that I would be able to correct my writing problems with my powerful output day after day!

Result: I insisted on writing for two months, but my writing level still did not improve at all, and I felt that my writing was getting worse and worse, and I became less and less confident in writing.

Only then did I know that I should actively learn writing skills, criticize and correct my own writing routines, and of course, it is inseparable from hard practice.

When I first started writing, in order to show my huge "writing skills", I would write down a lot of characters at the beginning, and they all had their own names and family disputes. There are still many novice writers around me, and because I have written too many characters, I have forgotten who is who when I write, and I have to go back and sort out the logic myself.

I already know that I don't have the ability to write so many people's lives and personalities thoroughly, so I might as well subtract irrelevant characters, which will make the whole story much clearer and simpler.

I have too many words "say" and "think".

This is also one of the mistakes I made, most of them are composed of the protagonist's dialogue and mental activity, so how to elicit what to say and mental activity is a problem. "xxx said", "xxx thought", it's okay if such a sentence appears a few times in it, but if every sentence is like this, it will be too revealing of the writing.

There are so many things that I need to pay attention to, as I said above, there are many different ways to change the words "say" and "think" in a different way.

I realized that there is no such thing as "the more you write, the worse it gets", but I don't know much about the skills and knowledge of writing, and when I first started writing, it was easy to write a large number of articles because of my enthusiasm, and when this "freshness" passed, the inspiration was not as much as at the beginning, so the various problems of writing were gradually exposed.

But I'm still passionate, I write because I'm interested, and I like to write about things I want to write. Write your own world.

And I'm also improving, with a book or a plot, from the early stage to the late stage, when I look back, I will find that there are still many problems in the early stage, but these problems are small, but it proves that I am improving.

I also realized that when I wrote so many pictures and wanted to write the pictures in my mind, there was a suspicion of the number of words, and there was only a lot of text in a chapter, but I was thinking about the most difficult way for me to conceive and achieve the worst results. It also kills the reader's enthusiasm.

I've realized what I'm doing, and the next book will be in a new style, with clear and concise language, and more narrative than imagery.

The next book must be corrected!

Write a little bit of your own experience below and make up a word count:

The biggest lesson I have learned since I wrote is that when I can't write, I have to write hard, make up the number of words, and finish the day's tasks. Don't stop, don't stop. Once you stop, it's very difficult to pick up and start again.

There is always a time when our thoughts are exhausted, and at this time we need to "act against human nature", the more we don't like to do things, the more we have to do them; The more you want to let it go, the more you have to continue.

At this time, although there is no interest in guidance, things can still continue; Although the typed text does not fully reflect your thoughts, your general idea is still there, and your plan to do it is still ongoing. The quality is not so satisfying, but you can make it to your satisfaction gradually through later tweaks and modifications.

And giving up will become a habit, will make your road appear one pit after another, and will make you make one semi-finished product after another. In the long run, there is only one result: nothing can be accomplished.

From the time I started writing, I was either in Carvin or on the way to Carvin.

The most serious consequence of Carvin is not a break from the watch, but a terrible breakdown of mind and self-doubt.

In the face of Kavin, you must maintain a good attitude, today Kaven, it's okay, find other things to do, put it aside first. The mentality must be good!

What writing skills, what more than 10,000 a day, the mentality collapses is. When writing, you must remember that the mindset is the greatest.

You never know why you don't do it. Do you think it's a problem of poor writing, not making money, and not having skills?

Many authors close their pens because they can't stand the loneliness of a single machine, can't stand the bad comments of readers, and wonder if they really write rubbish.

These are the reasons for giving up writing. Even depression is self-conscious. Letter...

There are successes in this world, but there is no quick fix.

I can learn how to write a good story, it just takes time, maybe a year, two years, five years, or even longer. Will I be able to endure such loneliness?

I think we still have to get through. There is no quick fix. Even learning is a huge effect that has been accumulated since childhood. This is true for learning, and the same is true for work, and only by accumulating a lot of foundation can you build a high-rise building.

Persistence is the tempering of the will and the accumulation of explosive power. You can use silent struggle to break through the "net" and melt the "ice" with invisible flames. Work hard in persistence, work hard in persistence, let all the pain fade in persistence, and let all tears turn into green smoke in persistence. Learn to persevere, learn to pursue in persistence, and realize success in persistence.

Anything, if you give up halfway, you are doomed to failure. But on the other hand, as long as you can stick to anything, you have the possibility of success! In the end, different people will have different interpretations of success, depending on their respective goals. The main purpose of this article is also to encourage myself, by the way, two things I know through unremitting perseverance, and finally succeed.

Those who walk a hundred steps are half ninety. I don't know how long I've been gone, but as long as there are no force majeure factors, I'll stick to it. If I can't write Braille, what else can I do?
