At the end of 2019, after I had just given birth to my second child, I began to feel that life was boring and boring, and that my life had begun to decline. So I picked up a pen and decided to use words to Let me write some small thoughts about this big world.

During that time, I was like falling into the abyss of countless black holes, being beaten and stirred mercilessly.

But since I started writing, the helplessness in life, the desire for work, the worry about lost youth, the powerlessness over a second child, and the loneliness in the soul have all been left in another world. .

I began to swim in the castle made of words, experiencing every surprise it brought me. Sometimes I cried, sometimes I laughed, and I often forgot about each other. When I looked up, two years had passed.

Many people say that writing is a dialogue with one's own soul, a journey of self-exploration, and a path of self-healing. This kind of spiritual satisfaction can only be felt when you really sit down and write.

It can be said that in the past two years of writing, I feel that my life has gone uphill in a real sense. If so, what impact has writing had on me? I think the main points are as follows.

1. Cherish time more.

After giving birth to my second child, I always felt that time was very tight, and the day passed by without even realizing it. I often didn’t do anything, but always felt very tired. After writing

, I completely automatically blocked some people’s irrelevant arguments and unnecessary interpersonal relationships.

Why waste your time on unimportant people and things. Every time I think of the idea of ​​"taking advantage of my own time, I can write quickly", I feel full of energy, as if I am going on a mysterious date, and my heart is filled with secret happiness. And this kind of happiness starts from cherishing your own time.

2. My interest in life has greatly increased.

I have been addicted to mobile phones in the past. I can't help myself from binge-watching TV series, live broadcasts, short videos, and short games. My eyes have become myopic and have astigmatism.

Now I have learned more to observe the world and the people around me with my eyes and heart. When you learn to listen, you will discover meaningful and interesting things hidden in many subtleties.

In the past two years of writing, my interest in life has greatly increased. learned to be patient, learn to draw, learn self-discipline, learn to love everything in life, and learn to maintain a positive heart towards life.

3. Read dozens of books.

Before, I was very keen on buying books, but I was not keen on reading. To put it bluntly, I was a typical person who "buys books like a mountain and reads like a thread".

Later, after I came into contact with writing, I slowly began to learn to read. At first, it took almost a month to finish a book. Today's self-media writing is full of talents, and there are many writing problems that need to be obtained from books. Therefore, as soon as the energy comes up, I will read with the same energy as when I took the exam to absorb knowledge.

I have to say that reading is the cornerstone for starting to write. The more you read, the stronger your knowledge will be, and the more interesting the articles you write will be.

4. Writing becomes smoother and faster.

When I first started writing, like many novices, I didn’t know how to write. Just like " a mute eats Coptis chinensis and can't say when he is suffering", I am " can't say when I have something to say". There are so many words in my heart, but I just don’t know how to express them in words.

After a period of deliberate practice and imitation, I started to get started with writing. From the beginning, it took a week to write a 2,000-word article. Now, as long as the title is determined, it can be written in a few hours.

would like to give you a little suggestion here. When you first start writing, don’t be too anxious or put too much pressure on yourself. Give yourself more time, at least three months. During this period, practice deliberately. And imitate the articles that you like and suit you. After a period of writing accumulation, you will definitely be able to master writing.

5. Gained a sense of meaning.

After working full-time for a long time, there are always some thoughts from the outside world reaching my ears, and then I forcefully install these voices on myself, and then I start to worry that I am useless.

Until I received the first like, the first cheer, the first manuscript fee, and those who silently left me messages of encouragement during my writing, and even left me warm text messages when I had something to do and couldn't update in time... These are all warm pictures that I had never imagined.

As the writing time gets longer and longer, I realize that I gain a lot of meaning from writing without realizing it.

6. Earned a sum of writing fees.

will talk about the income brought by writing alone. To be honest, I really don’t have a monthly income of over 10,000, 30,000, or even 50,000 like some people. Maybe it’s because I work alone, the articles are relatively single, and the traffic is too little. .

, on the other hand, makes money from submitting articles. Although the same is not much, in general, no matter how much hard work, no matter how much you gain, you have earned a lot of writing fees with your own love. With financial independence, you have found The value of life, life has begun to go uphill.

If you have to talk about how to make money from writing, it must be traffic password . However, a person who truly loves writing is unwilling to give up this love.

Since I started writing, I just want to tell you, don’t think about making money first, but learn to talk to yourself and the world first.

The purpose of writing in the early stage is to earn the right to choose in the future, because one day, you will find that the problems that trouble you are not worth mentioning, and the parabola of life will be thrown upward quickly along the starting point. By then, you Whatever you want will come to you.

Remember:

You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery,

The people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs.
