I am Xiaoyuer, a rural girl who achieves financial independence by writing, click "Follow" in the upper right corner to share [self-writing + personal growth] dry goods for you every day.
Hi, I'm Little Fish. At the end of May last year, I started writing full-time. By the end of 2023, it was written350,000 words
When I was doing a review and summary, I suddenly realized a truth:
The only shortcut to writing is a lot of repetition practice.
Two or three years ago, when I was still an office worker, I also tried to write as a side hustle, working during the day and writing at night.
But after a few days of writing, I gave up.
In addition to being a bit lazy, another reason is that I find writing difficult, and I have a fear of writing since I turn on the computer to create a new document.
The more scared I was, the less I could write.
If I can't write, I am even more afraid, and in this cycle, the courage that supported my writing is quickly exhausted, and failure is inevitable.
When I first started writing full-time, I also had a sense of fear, always afraid that I would not be able to write well, but then I saw a blogger who wrote badly but persisted, and I was inspired to cheer up.
After writing the first 10w+ article for 2 months in a row, my heart has changed a lot about writing.
From the original fear, to the accumulation of a little bit of self-confidence
At the same time, I also discoveredThe more you write, the smoother it becomes
In the past, I could barely write an article from morning to night, but then I could write it during the day, and now it only takes half a day to complete.
Many people have a natural misconception about writing, thinking that you have to read poetry and books to be talented to be qualified to write.
In fact, writing is the same as driving, cutting, and typingSkills that can be learned by the average person
The word "skill" is explained in the encyclopedia like this:
Individuals use their existing knowledge and experience to form certain modes of movement or intellectual activity through practice.
This explanation is a bit of a mouthful.
In layman's terms, it means that after learning and then through a certain amount of practice, you can master a skill.
That is to say, even if you don't have a literary talent, as long as you have a foundation in writing and put in a year or two or even more to practice, you can master the skill of writing and go from a layman to an insider.
Stephen King once said, "It's better to spend time talking about how to write than to actually write it." ”
If you read this article and are also worried about how to write, Xiaoyuer suggests:
Don't be afraid of your bad writing, don't be afraid of writing, keep writing, practice, accumulate a certain amount, and there will be a qualitative leap.
Above, all encouragement.
