Today, I will continue to share with you my inspiration for writing. Many times when we mention " inspiration ", the first thing that comes to mind is the sudden appearance of inspiration, which is right. This is indeed a way of inspiration, but I believe you can also find that this inspiration for sudden appearance is very unreliable. The unreliable characteristics mainly manifest as:
1. The uncertainty of time, I don’t know when it will come;
2. If you don’t remember it in the moment, you will forget it;
3. Even if you write it down, you can’t use large text to expand it when you really need to write it.
So, I must tell you that if you want to persist in writing, you must not rely on this sudden "inspiration". It cannot provide you with continuous resources, and you cannot persist.
If you want to obtain continuous inspiration output, you need to accumulate. Accumulating photo materials is one aspect, and on the other hand, you need to accumulate good words and sentences you see. This is the second method of the writing inspiration I want to share today - Good sentences and thoughts .
For example, when I first met the book "Secret", I found this passage when I flipped through it:
You must be aware of your thoughts, carefully choose your thoughts, and enjoy them. Because you are the masterpiece of your life; you are the Michelangelo of your life, and the sculpture of David is like you.
The sentence "You are the Michelangelo of your life" made me feel very beautiful, so I remembered it. Once I didn't know what to write, I used this sentence, which triggered my expression of love for words, and the following passage was created:
Imagine being my own Michelangelo, my words are my carving knife, every word is carefully carved every day, and every article presented is a work, sublimated from my own soul, and in the sun, let every person with destiny read the thoughts in it, even if it is just a sentence.
Next, let’s introduce several key points in the application of this method:
01 Diversified sources of material
Your material comes from your love, it must be eclectic and diverse.
If you like to read, it can come from any sentence in the book you like, maybe it doesn’t understand the meaning at first; if you like to watch movies and TV series, then it can come from dialogue or lyrics in movies and TV series, maybe it just sounds nice at that moment; if you like to chat with others, then it can come from a casual sigh from others, maybe you just laughed at that time.
In short, it is not limited to any source, as long as you like, as long as you are willing to write it down.
For example, while accompanying my lover to watch the TV series " Menghualu ", I was attracted by a line from Liu Yifei :
Tea Whether you are in the mountains of Qiantang or in the imperial garden, as long as the tea soup is fragrant and distant, there will naturally be people who appreciate tea.
So I wrote down this sentence and wrote an article with the inspiration it brought. One of the words was:
I used to live in a small village in the mountains. Through the words in the book, I read the outside world, read the prosperity there, yearning for myself to stand on the bustling street, and look at the light of my dreams ahead.
At this moment, I am traveling through the city buildings, still immersed in the poetic tranquility of the words. Although I am in prosperity, I am still at ease and calm.
I don’t want to follow the prosperity of the speed of light and bring a halo of vanity to my own words;
I just want to cook this cup of tea that belongs to me on a slow fire, whether it is floating in the mountains or in the urban imperial garden, those who are destined to be the ones who appreciate tea. If there is a tea fragrance in the text of
, the person who appreciates the tea will naturally smell it and come.
02 Thinking is important
Accumulated materials are not simple excerpts, let alone simple text porters.
When we were in primary and secondary schools, the teacher asked us to prepare an excerpt of good words and sentences. Many people did it very seriously. Some would mark it with pens of different colors, and some would draw or paste it as decoration. However, these skills cannot convey those good sentences to our brains, so they cannot be used when writing essays.
Thinking, thinking is very important. The thinking here is not limited to understanding the meaning of words and sentences, but is also diverse. It can be inspiration to you, the truth that you understand, the memories you recall, or the yearning in your heart...
In short, all you think of is your thoughts, which can be transformed into words and appeal to the writing.
For example, when I read this passage from writer Bi Shumin :
Some things are not the thicker the better, they must be just right. We say deep words in a shallow way, and we walk slowly on the long road.
Lenovo At that time, I was busy dealing with the sudden increase in work content. I went out early and came back late, breaking the original rhythm of life, so I wrote an article, and one of the passages was as follows:
The recent rhythm of life was broken by the sudden increase in work content, I went out early and came back late, and spent the whole time, just to quickly bring the somewhat biased rhythm back on track. Fireworks life lost its poetry and the interesting soul in the poetic life.
Today took time to accompany your lover to go out for a walk, went to the warm-hearted flower shop that you often go to, replaced the bunch of daisies on the dining table with a bunch of starry , chose a pot of fortune tree , replaced the pot of green ivy on the cabinet, and changed it to a brand new mood.
Don’t let unbalanced work and life ravage the tenderness between your eyebrows. If you waste your time occasionally, you will feel that the world is worth it. You can always change your mood to keep that poetic life.
03 Give your own soul
Words without soul are insincere and cannot attract others.
Every good word has its thoughts to be expressed by the original author in the situation where he is. It has the author's soul. We will like the author's high-level view, like the sentences' beautiful poetry, and be impressed by the deep truth in the simple words.
But no matter what, when we use it as our source of inspiration, be sure to give your own soul to express your own thoughts from the perspectives you see and feel.
For example, I like a sentence from Tagore :
Only when we truly love this world can we truly live in this world.
Once I quoted this sentence when I was writing an article, and then inspired by this sentence I also wrote down my own thoughts. One of the sentences I wrote:
When we feel that life is as dull as water, when we are lost in the fast-paced life. It is time to choose a quiet morning or night to reflect on the past, whether you truly love the life in front of you and love the world.
Think about it, is life owing you a wonderful thing, or is it owing you a love for life.
Good sentence thinking is not a new way to inspire writing, but every good sentence you are lucky enough to meet can be re-written with your own fresh ideas, write your own words, and let every good sentence be sublimated in your own article along your thoughts.
Thank you for reading. I am the original creator of the graphic and text who insist on writing - Chu Xi Nuanwen.
I would like to inspire and protect the enthusiasm for writing with you!
