Chapter 86 fledgling test flight

Most of the young friends who love literature and art are also interested in practicing writing. Whenever they gather with people in the literary and art circles, they always ask how to use materials?How should I write? This question may sound small, but it is a big one to talk about for hours, perhaps not completely.I would like to quote only a passage from the older generation of writer Zhu Ziqing to provide a gist. He said that when young people learn to write for the first time, they must stick to the scope of two materials. One is to write what you know best. Clear; one is to write what you find easiest to write.In fact, the most important condition is to write about people and things that you know best. If you know clearly, it will be easy to write, and you will be able to write with ease.As for writing skills, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it requires a lot of reading, and after a long period of practice, it will naturally make perfect and use it freely.

The so-called people and things that you know the most clearly, of course, is to use personal life experience as the most authentic, write down what you encounter, see and feel, not afraid of superficiality, not afraid of boring, but afraid of not writing; after writing an article, read it every two days Look, if you feel dissatisfied, you might as well start over again, that is progress.Don't think the subject matter around you is too trivial, as long as you can patiently write it down bit by bit, you will naturally train your ability to combine and cut materials without knowing it.For example, keeping a diary is a way to practice writing. For a life experience that is particularly interesting and insightful, you don’t need to think about it, and you will naturally write a few more lines, that is, you have acquired the skills in collecting materials.Because it is easier to write short essays in the form of notes first, and it will not make you feel that writing is such a difficult thing.

Some people may think that writing diary-style essays is like a running account, which is too boring.In fact, if you can write the journal as smoothly as water, concise and coherent, then your writing skills are already on the way; and if you want to describe it more vividly, it is the second step. Young friends who are new to writing, because their experience of life and observation of the world are not enough, they have to write articles that reason and criticize the world; because the mind and emotion of young people are not yet stable, that is, the so-called It is not yet mature enough, and it is not appropriate to come first with essays on romance; therefore, only narrative and descriptive essays are most suitable for young friends who love literature and art to practice first.I once saw a travelogue written by a female classmate in the newspaper <Youth Corner>. The text and content are quite lively and interesting. It is the best example of writing a narrative and description of personal experience. .
