Chapter 25 The rapid increase in writing ability (1)
Writing is a reflection of human thinking on objective existence, and writing is also an artistic and creative activity of a language.

great leap in writing
Writing is a reflection of human thinking on objective existence, and writing is also an artistic and creative activity of a language.Broadly speaking, all genres that use language to express generalizations can be included, such as scientific and technological writing and official document writing.In a narrow sense, it only refers to literary writing.Whether it is reflection or art, there are many types of forms.The art of painting reflects the world with colors, lines and shapes, while the main feature of literary writing is to create and express in the form of language elements.There is unity in the difference between the two, but the means of expression are different.

Beginner writers often like to ask technical questions enthusiastically, but I would like to advise my friends with a responsible attitude and my real experience: don't pay too much attention to writing skills!Many novel works of art and forms are not pre-thought out, but the result of thinking about art and creation anytime, anywhere.There are certain rules to follow in writing, but there are absolutely no quick secrets and magic bullets that can help you achieve overnight and become a master of extraordinary achievements.Most of the so-called training courses that can quickly become a poet and writer in a few weeks or months are deceitful and a waste of money and time.

Regarding the rules and specific guidance that can be followed in writing, I try to clarify my thinking as much as possible, and provide the following points for your reference:
[-]. The basis of thinking.

The power of thought is invisible, and the power of thought is also huge and far-reaching.In some seemingly intangible or even useless factors, it may provide you with more profound, lasting and inner support.In this regard, it is best to read more books on philosophy and art theory, so as to acquire a scientific world view and methodology, exercise thinking ability, and guide one's own practical activities.It is easier to get twice the result with half the effort if you do things like this, and you will see more results and less detours.In terms of philosophy, I personally recommend Marxist philosophy and Eastern mystic philosophy.For example, the Marxist philosophical worldview emphasizes practice, and believes that human knowledge can only come from practice, and finally return to practice for guidance, and so on, and so on, from perceptual knowledge to rational knowledge.Human talents and accomplishments can only be truly grown and developed through practice.In this way, it will not be easy to be superstitious about authority, book dogma, or those ridiculous remarks about quick tips and "home" in a few days.

The most important qualities of the thinking foundation are independence and criticality. What is independence?Just not superstitious and blind obedience.This is a way of thinking that is close to objectivity. Whether he is a world master or a well-known writer, he does not have to regard every statement of the other party as an unchangeable theorem.Always remind yourself to test the truth with practice, and to inherit and absorb all the crystallization of knowledge based on the standard of linking theory with practice.What is critical?That is, the advantages are good, the disadvantages are bad, and there are trade-offs and sublations.Get rid of those fallacies that do not conform to the times and reality, and keep those insights that still stand the test of time and facts.The key to forming thinking ability lies in profoundness rather than flooding and variety.The understanding of basic concepts and principles should be mastered as much as possible, and then use these principles and viewpoints to connect with reality, and constantly analyze and solve various problems encountered in practice. Over time, thinking ability will be really improved.The so-called profound insight and strong thinking ability definitely do not refer to the kind of dogma who memorizes and quotes theoretical chapters throughout the entire article.That is really an illusion and misunderstanding, which is completely irrelevant to the real thinker.It's more of a nerd-like show-off and rhetoric. You let him take exams and endorsements cooler than anyone else, and you let him solve practical problems. When he comes up with creative results, he will be stupid immediately and return to his original shape.

The main types of ways of thinking are as follows: the left brain is in charge of mathematical logic, abstract thinking in dealing with daily things, and the right brain is in charge of imagery thinking such as painting, music, and space. The combination of the two can produce creative thinking that stimulates inspiration.Literary writers should be full of imagination and creativity. Everyone's experience is different, and it is difficult to cover a wide range and all.However, having imaginative and creative thinking features can enable the author to develop from a little partial life experience, and associate and expand more plot content that conforms to the internal laws of life.Kafka, the novelist who created Metamorphoses, lived in seclusion in his own house or even the basement almost all the year round, working during the day and returning home at night; he did not have any more peculiar and diverse life experiences than other contemporaries.But he has created such amazing literary works, which is the best proof.

So how to strengthen this imaginative and creative ability?This requires good use of divergent and convergent thinking in daily observation and thinking for exercise.Both belong to the specific implementation methods of creative thinking.For example, if there is a pen in front of our eyes, we can understand it by decomposing it at various levels and elements.There are many types of pens, such as fountain pens, brushes, pencils, oil paint brushes, etc., which are also different in structure, color, appearance, and material.Furthermore, think about whether a pen can be used for other purposes besides the function of writing and recording?The answer is of course yes, we can expand the function of the pen and transform it into a tool for makeup artists to draw eyebrows and pave the way to shape the actor's image; when angry and quarreling, it can even be used to throw and hit people; the key fell into the not too deep stone crevice You can use the pen in your hand to pick it out.Regardless of whether the method of use is normal or abnormal, or even comical, it is already a process of realizing divergent thinking.In the same way, you can analyze a character's facial features such as eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and demeanor to get detailed and comprehensive information about things; combine pens and people, two unrelated things, to create a smiling An anthropomorphic cartoon image with a raised nose.In this way, it is a realization process of convergent thinking.

[-]. Observation basis.

Observation is the window of thinking, this sentence is very intuitive!Without observation, it is tantamount to being cut off from the outside world, and thinking and creation will not be able to obtain the necessary materials and raw materials.How can artistic conception and processing be carried out without raw materials to produce works?This is as embarrassing and impractical as asking someone to cook without providing firewood.

Improving observation skills must develop the habit of taking notes, preferably for a lifetime, without interruption.The breadth and depth of observation should be broadened.One person, one thing, one thing, one scene; from cosmology, macroscopic to microcosmic, all things and phenomena in the universe should be included in the scope of observation, and can be expressed and recorded in the form of language.Not all the content of the description must be personally experienced, it can also be hearsay, information obtained from a conversation between friends.The general principle is to enrich and deepen one's artistic raw material factory, so that one can create with ease and creativity.In the future, short content can be written into poetry, and large volume can be written into novels. Many works of art and forms will grow and sprout on this soil.

[-]. Language foundation.

Language foundation is an undoubted key element in literary writing activities.The enhancement of language ability is mainly obtained through indirect experience and direct experience.

Indirect experience: one category belongs to extensive reading, extensive reading, and understanding of different types of literary works in different periods.One is intensive reading, choose a few classic literary works that you appreciate to study carefully.It is advisable to repeatedly understand and memorize on the basis of familiarity, to inherit and absorb the language cultivation and essence accumulated by the predecessors to the greatest extent, and transform it into your own language use ability.At the same time, profound professional knowledge and skills should be combined with extensive knowledge, and read more books other than literature, such as psychology, aesthetics, philosophy, law, popular science and the like.The significance of this is to avoid narrow thinking, improve the ability to understand the world, and describe the accuracy and authenticity of things.After all, the content of literary writing involves almost all areas of human social life.When you create a science fiction novel, you must master some relevant scientific knowledge to make it feel convincing; Some legal knowledge.So many things, if as the author himself, even the principle of space station docking and civil litigation
If the steps are not clear, the written works will easily make jokes.

Direct experience: As mentioned in the previous paragraph, you need to use the habit of taking notes to temper your language and describe all the insights you have personally experienced.People's memory is limited, and there will always be omissions and forgetting over the years. Writing notes can save precious experiences in a timely and effective manner for future processing and utilization.As for the way of recording, there is no need to stick to a fixed format, and choose an appropriate form to record according to the changing life experience anytime and anywhere.Narrate when it’s time to narrate, describe when it’s time to describe, and naturally talk about it when it’s necessary to express emotion and discussion; use a variety of description methods flexibly, accumulate over time, and gradually improve your writing ability.The object of the description can be single-item behavior dynamics of words and deeds, but also multiple descriptions of various social activities and scenes; because if you want to create novels in the future, you need to have the ability to deal with complex social relationships and large scenes.Pay attention to practice and accumulation at ordinary times, and it is easy to appear in a state of concentrating and concentrating on inspiration in a moment when something is touched in life.Going a step further, the object of practicing pens can also be extended to a movie, a dream, or an unbounded fantasy; record and describe a certain interesting video plot in the movie with the language of your own organization.With such practice, the writing ability developed will be flexible and comprehensive, imaginative and creative.

Fourth, the emotional basis.

Emotional basis is a most wonderful factor, which plays an invisible and deep role in any kind of creative activity.

The so-called personality determines destiny and mentality determines success should be the best comment on this quality.A sentimental and compassionate heart is also the easiest to have keen observation and deep insight.A person's personality quality and emotional tendency directly affect the depth of his cognition and perception of the real world.It's hard to imagine that all despicable people who are based on self-interest can appreciate the noble patriotism of the People's Liberation Army's sacrifice and dedication to the nation; it's hard to judge a rich girl who is used to asking for money, spending money, and treating others as nothing can understand children from poor mountainous areas. The hardship and helplessness of studying and surviving.

Whether one really loves life and human beings, and whether one has a persistent belief in the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty is an important symbol to measure the emotional characteristics of a literary writer.

Only a purer mind can penetrate into the soul of all things more easily, and express and create with all things as its own scale.

Modern scientific research has repeatedly shown that people's IQ can be roughly divided into three types, among which emotional IQ plays an intermediary and transformation role for intelligence and creative IQ, and is a persistent core element.Among the people who are successful and accomplished in various fields, the intellectual factor accounts for only a small percentage, while the emotional intelligence plays a leading role.

Subject Storming

Without a subject, you cannot write a thesis.Educational activities have more potential value than copying directly from the blackboard.Paradoxically, however, very few educational activities are worth the extra effort.It all depends on the careful choice of topics.

Subjects such as "India" or "fishing" may seem impossible to do well or complete for you.They're too big, rambling, and aimless.Projects such as “Methods to reduce food waste in canteens by 10%” or “Survey of factors affecting the effectiveness of garden compost bins” have clear definitions and goals.When you can summarize the topic with a title, it's time to start writing.

In this opening statement, I want to tell readers that this part can only give you limited help in completing those topics with irrelevant titles.A successful project needs a sensible title, and that's what we're going to discuss briefly.

Step [-] choose a title
Find some projects that you have done or must do next, and examine carefully to determine the degree to which the title defines the content and specifies the purpose of the project.

If you come to the conclusion that some topics do not have a clear scope limit, try modifying it along the following lines:
1. Topic: What is the topic to be written?
2. Limitation: What method is used to limit the content?
3. Goal: For a topic with such a topic and these limitations, what kind of accurate results do you hope to get?

This activity helps you realize that choosing an appropriate headline is key to successful writing.This activity also includes other activities around a topic of your choice.Now choose a title for this event.

STEP [-] RESEARCH - GATHERING OPINIONS

Before you start and research a topic, you must know what information you need.The sources of information you find (eg, encyclopedias, reference books, etc.) are usually full of stuff that has nothing to do with your topic.Therefore, you have to browse to determine what is relevant to you.Browsing is useful if you have a question and are eager to find an answer,

Therefore, a good way to plan your research is to make a list of all the problems you want to solve.To cause these problems, try the following:

1. Think hard for 30 minutes or an hour, listing as many questions as you can.For example, the more questions that come to mind, the better.

2. Arrange the questions in an order that makes sense, such as by subheading or by data, or whatever criteria you think makes sense.

3. Evaluate the questions and remove questions that are repetitive or not really necessary for your writing.

Depending on the topic, write out as many ideas as possible in 5-10 minutes in order to raise possible questions.

Step [-] Research - Sources

Once the question is asked, it's time to figure out where to look for the answer.There are three main types of sources:

1. Publications (books, audio and video, newspapers, electronic materials, etc.);
2. Relevant personnel;
3. Own observations (measurements, experiments, etc.).

In this step, your task is to determine what is suitable for your problem.If you haven't found someone who is really helpful, and you don't have enough time to observe, the best first choice is to look up information.

In addition to some very professional research or topics that are difficult to find in books, the following methods can help you find the source of the required information.

1. Check two good general books on your topic and make sure they have good bibliographies.

2. Make a card titled "Overview" and write down relevant questions that can be listed under this title.

3. For each problem that cannot be solved in the general introduction, make a card and write the problem.Then, check the bibliographies of the two general books, and jot down on cards the details of the more specialized books that deal with your problem.For very specialized material, a good index of newspapers and magazines should be looked up.For very specialized materials, professional magazines should be consulted.

Now you have the sources for each question (don't worry if you haven't found any, other research will find them quickly).

Consult an introductory book or two on one of your topics to begin building a list of sources.

Now list more specialized sources of information on your question.

STEP [-] RESEARCH – SELECTING INFORMATION
You already have a source of information that answers all your questions, and when selecting information you should:
1. Make cards for each question.

2. Write the question on the top of the card.

3. Browse the information to find relevant materials.

4. When you find relevant materials, record them on the card.Remember to include sources and page numbers.

5. To avoid copying detailed materials, try to limit the records to;
