Now in the era of we media, writing seems to have become a core skill of creation. I also often see netizens asking, they also want to write something, but they are worried about their writing is not good, do you have some good writing skills to share?
I have seen many community leaders share valuable experiences, which are undoubtedly beneficial.
I don’t want to say more here. If you’re looking for a fancy title, a beginning and an end, or a better way to write, you’re probably going to be disappointed in this article, because that’s not what I wrote this article for. You can search online for “writing tips” that you want, and many of them are pretty good.
To get back to the subject, LET me tell you a little bit about my personal experience. I have been fond of writing since junior high school. Since senior high school, my compositions have been rated as excellent by my teacher and shared with the whole class, and my scores in many mock exams have also ranked the top of my grade. At that time, I also published manuscripts in the school literature club, and served as the president of the school literature club at the peak. My main themes of writing were prose and poetry, and the style of writing was mainly flowery and brilliant. (There is a suspicion of self-boasting, but this is not the key, I will not confirm this sentence, haha).
After admitted to a university journalism major, sharing writing is a hobby, only mood and inspiration, can not help writing a few sentences. I have been working as a copywriter since my senior year. I have been working as a copywriter for 7 years now. In the past seven years, I have written many copywriting types, such as brand stories, in-depth interviews, public relations press releases, product advertorials, promotional videos, new media copywriting, poster ideas and so on. In short, they cover a wide range of topics.
Maybe some friends are going to wonder? Isn’t it writing? Why are we talking about paperwork again? Here I will briefly explain that writing is a very big concept, and everything related to words can be included. Copywriting is a kind of writing, mainly for commercial purposes, and it is still different from poetry and prose in literary creation.
Next, I will focus on what I have learned from writing for so many years and share some writing experience, hoping to help friends who love writing.
Try not to be literary, but to make the words work for you
When young, feel that the United States is the heart, so always love to use gorgeous rhetoric to describe the empty heart, clearly the young do not know the taste of sorrow, but to make a pair of years by all kinds of ravages of sadness. If you are still intoxicated with this state, then, maybe you are really just beginning, the heart feel gorgeous rhetoric and literary style is the essence of the article, is not really realize the fundamental and fun of writing. Think about it. For many people, who would want to keep listening to empty, soulless, unsympathetic prose?
So, what is the main purpose of our writing? It’s to express what we think, what we understand, or to express an idea or a point of view through words. At any time, text is just a carrier, words just use more accurate expression, literary talent is just icing on the cake. Don’t turn it upside down, in order to show off the literary talent, to moan and sentimental, and forget the ordinary simple beauty, forget the original intention of the expression of words.
So, regardless of your writing skills, don’t be afraid to remember that “authenticity is the weapon that makes writing powerful.” When you feel the need to express yourself, forget all the rules and regulations of writing and write down whatever comes to mind. We just need to be authentic, keep the essence, and simplify everything else.
√ Advanced writing is full of wisdom between the lines
Writing articles is not fancy, but the record of real life bit by bit, refining, sublimation. The insight contained in words is the existence of wisdom, no matter in any form, any purpose of writing, this is an effective magic weapon to move people. Here I would like to mention that I saw such a sentence on the Internet: primary copywriting text art is superficial, intermediate copywriting, rub current events hot spots to attract attention, senior copywriting thinking copywriting essence, into some psychological strategies, the top copywriting is to combine the article with the copywriting, to create really exciting advertising.
Don’t forget this when you’re writing, whether it’s copywriting or any other type of writing. The wisdom conveyed in the text gives the text meaning, inheritance and life. At the same time, it also reveals the difference and level difference of each author. The wisdom here refers to the deep observation and high summary of the universe, life, human and human nature and other aspects. Only those who love thinking and life can possess such wisdom through constant cognition and experience, and form words.
For example, we will see: many scholars summed up the knowledge, many predecessors summed up the workplace experience, many outstanding students summed up learning skills…… Therefore, we should observe the things around us as much as possible, think and refine the rules, and improve our own pattern and vision. Only in this way can we write things with more soul, more power and more ability to move others.
In conclusion, I think there are probably thousands of different kinds of writing skills. But the essence of it is to express and share honestly from the heart. The rest is just a trick. I hope you can be inspired by my sharing. If you have any specific questions about writing, please follow me. I can discuss and communicate with you.
