This article is still "Start writing! ——A writing exercise in Non-fiction Literature Creation: It is required to think about some deep inner questions while meditating, and finally give the comprehensive, frank and detailed answer you want, and write your own beautiful article.
I often ask myself: Why do you insist on reading and writing?
This question seems a bit blind and is not easy to answer clearly.
First of all, reading costs money, writing cannot make money, and reading and writing cannot directly generate economic benefits. Secondly, in terms of effectiveness, I am not a type of person who reads or writes well. I am just able to persist in reading for a long time and write something intermittently.
Previously, the state of my reading and writing did not associate the two together. Reading is reading, writing is writing, these two aspects are separate in terms of content and form. Until now, I have consciously combined reading and writing.
There are two opportunities for this: one was to participate in the study of Lihua Book Garden Reading Camp last year and learn how to write manuscripts and book reviews. Since then, I have written at least one book review for almost every book I read. Another is the inspiration I was inspired by reading "Reading and Writing Consistency: Steps and Skills of Reading and Writing" some time ago. This book was written by Katherine T. McWater, a well-known American communication scholar, and one of the ideas he advocated is to organically combine reading and writing, use writing as an extension and sublimation of reading, and maximize the absorption and transformation of knowledge through reading and writing. After reading this book, my awareness of combining reading and writing has become stronger.
I have loved reading since I was a child, and it seems that I am so by nature. Therefore, this question cannot be answered "Why?" When I was a child, I was obsessed with reading, and even reached the point where I had to pick up and read it when I saw a piece of newspaper on the floor of the toilet. Later, I studied all the way, from elementary school to middle school to college, to work, and my interest in reading did not diminish at all. I have a wide range of readings, and have read many books in economics, art, philosophy, sociology, psychology, literature, etc.
You have to buy books frequently when reading. When I was a student, especially when I was in college, I always gave me living expenses to my family and bought books first after I bought enough meal tickets, followed by other things. After work, whenever I go on a business trip, I always squeeze out time to go to the local bookstore and buy books I like. When I travel, I often buy books that introduce local customs and culture. Nowadays, I buy books online. If you have the books you need, or the books mentioned in the books you read, you can place an order and buy one. Now the living room of your home has become a study room, with several large bookcases filled with books.
Only by being in the ocean of books, especially when you are burying your head on reading, can you get inner peace and tranquility.
As for writing, I remember that when I was in middle school, I wrote my composition better, which may also be related to my likes to read. In high school, the teacher assigned holiday homework and required him to write several pages of manuscript paper, without limiting what to write. I don’t know what other classmates wrote. Every holiday I copy my favorite articles, which to a certain extent helped me improve my writing skills and made me unconsciously combine reading and writing.
Because I studied science in the university, I have almost never written anything except writing letters in four years.
After graduating from university, I entered the administrative unit to work, and writing became commonplace, and most of the writing was applied. application writing has fixed routines, and it also requires methods and techniques, and it is not easy to write well. For example, when writing a leader’s speech, you must turn yourself into whom you write. The tone, wording, and view of the whole manuscript must conform to the speaker’s identity and personality. The length of the sentence should be convenient for reading, and it should not be too long. You should read aloud when reviewing and revising the manuscript, etc.
Later, I opened a blog online and wrote some essays on and off again. At that time, he was in his early thirties, and had a strong energy and a very enthusiastic writing. Sometimes when I stay in a hotel on a business trip, I turn on the computer and write a previous article whenever I have time.Every time, it is done in one go, and it will be posted on your blog with a little modification and proofreading.
I found that as long as I insist on writing, there will be endless topics to write. Once it is interrupted for a period of time, it will not be smooth to write. Therefore, persistence is very necessary. If possible, try to write something every day, and it is best to write an article every day.
I deeply realized that only through continuous reading and writing can I calm my mind and truly experience the satisfaction and pleasure of acquiring knowledge. Moreover, reading does not depend on quantity and speed, but on integrating and effectively transforming the content you read. In this way, I will continue to read and write in the future...
