Chapter 141 "The times are impetuous, but I am still calm"
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
In late October, I was honored to participate in the "2020 Shaanxi Traffic News Correspondent and Provincial Traffic Writers Association Member Training Course" under the recommendation of my superiors. This is my first training since I joined the company for a year, and the content is also related to my major. It not only allowed me to get acquainted with famous teachers and industry writing experts, but also gave me a further understanding of prose and novel writing
However, I am ashamed and thrown into the industry this time! The training lasted only one and a half days, but in the first class, when Mr. Chen Changyin, a well-known writer from Ankang, Shaanxi Province, was teaching, I raised three questions that I think are veryvery nervous.
Teacher Chen Changyin joined the Chinese Writers Association in 1990. Currently published personal monographs include 15 works such as the prose collection "Mountain Dream and Water Dream" and "Mountain Rhyme and Water Rhyme". Great writer! He told about his prose creation process, pointed out the essentials of "short and fine" prose writing, and proposed to avoid travel notes and family prose as much as possible During the wonderful lectures of Mr. Chen, I was both admiring and excited and ashamed, and I couldn't hold back There are several questions in my mind that have long plagued my personal writing. During the questioning session, I asked three questions intermittently.
ah! This is the first time I asked a question in an industry elite, and I felt so nervous that I was about to explode! Among these three questions, the first question has the greatest impact on me, which is roughly: "Mr. Chen, is writing to please readers or myself? Because I am an amateur online novelist. I find that readers love I read some superficial 'fast food' online articles, but no one cares about the classics, so I am really confused But as far as I am concerned! Writing is to please myself! Writing the true feelings in my heart, reflecting the various conditions of life, Instead of catering to the low-level tastes of some readers!"
The words were spit out in a hurry, and I wanted to tear my mouth out! How dare I call myself a shitty writer in front of everyone and my seniors? ! However, Mrs. Chen was kind and did not care about my youthful impulsiveness, and replied earnestly, meaning this: "First of all, you insist that you are right. And the status quo you reflect also exists. If you put the real classics on the Internet, It is true that few people read it; on the contrary, some unnutritive and too superficial online articles can become popular. But we write to reflect life with words, praise the truth, goodness and beauty, and guide readers on the basis of insisting on ourselves"
Later, another elderly teacher who presided over the class also said: "It's good for you to insist on yourself. Although this is a 'fast food era', writing can't easily succumb to the impetuousness of the times and go against your original intention of creation. It¡¯s not about pleasing anyone, but about using words to write good works that touch people¡¯s hearts, to guide readers, and to cultivate readers¡¯ elegant taste"
Under the guidance of the two teachers, like a glimmer of light not far away in the dark, I was enlightened instantly, suddenly enlightened, and strengthened my original intention of creation!
Not only to please yourself, but also to guide readers! Even though the times are impetuous, my heart is as calm as a lake, playing my picture book between typing, not being coerced by outsiders, not bound by fame, I only wish¡ª¡ªto finish all kinds of tragedies or tragedies that I imagined when I was a child. Sad, or deep stories!
It is true that I know that I have little talent, lack of knowledge and stupid talent, and I feel very small in front of everyone! Especially in the writing sharing meeting in the afternoon, many prose authors I often see in "Shaanxi Communications News" shared their writing thoughts one by one Especially what teacher Wang Baojuan of Baotian Branch said: "Writing can make me Forget the pain and wander in your own small world" I felt a strong resonance! isn't it? With the computer on and earphones on, let him be unpredictable in the outside world, I write and I am happy to forget my worries!
Mr. Gao Zhengxu from the Hanning Branch made me very ashamed of his extensive reading volume when sharing! He has read a lot of books and speaks well. No wonder his writing is beautiful and his thoughts are profound. One sentence even touched my heart: "We must read good books. Recently, a friend of mine was fascinated by reading, but when you listen to the title, it is really frantic¡ª¡ª ¡ª "The Little Widow of the General's Family"! What do you think you can learn from reading this?" I laughed out loud at the time, isn't this just a kind of sympathy? It shows that people who really write with their heart will not be linked to vulgarity.
And my teacher Ma Qi from the same unit, while encouraging our authors to read extensively, also bluntly said: "If you love to write, keep writing!" Indeed, writing is all about persistence, and persistence itself is a difficult task. Since I officially started my writing career on January 3, 2019, I have been writing every day unless it is irresistible factors such as overtime or going out! Time is squeezed out, as long as you want to do something, unless you reverse life and death, you can do it! The point is - do you want it or not?
However, now, I can return to the??: I¡ª¡ª want to! ! !
Not for success, not for making a living, not for making a living, not for readers¡¯ preferences, not for external interference, just because of pure love to write, love to the bone marrow, love to the soul, love to life In addition, another well-known Shaanxi writer An Teacher Li said in the reading class for us the next day: "Writing and writing, you must read!" Therefore, I should follow the famous masters and the industry elites, read good books with an open mind and a low profile, and practice self-cultivation and skills. As the saying goes: "Reading thousands of volumes, writing is as if you have a spirit." Read a lot of good books to enrich your mind, how can you be ashamed to write?
? Although my trivial skills are difficult to be elegant, and I can't show them off, I am even more ashamed to call myself a "writer" without shame. But I believe that choosing a writing path that suits you, following your own writing style, weaving your own unique stories, and trying your best to guide readers' three views is also the emphasis on words, the caressing of sentences, the confession of paragraphs, and the The deep love of chapters and the admiration for books.
The times are impetuous, the feasting at night and the self-indulgence that reverses the day and night are the helpless venting of many people who are rushing for life. Therefore, people are willing to find solace in simple things, often at a glance, without using their brains There is nothing wrong with this essence. The profound things that may precipitate and remain in the world forever may be temporarily silent, but they can stand the test of time and the doubts of people's hearts, and then guide, educate, and guide all beings to live a better and wonderful life. Just like the Japanese novel "The Tale of Genji" written thousands of years ago, "Dream of Red Mansions" in my country, and "Gone with the Wind" in the West
I still have a calm mind, and I dare not call myself a writer lightly, I just want to write articles with my heart. I dare not aspire to become a literary hero, but I only ask my heart to keep my original appearance. The keyboard clangs and the word falls to the hairpin, embellished with step-by-step swaying and dancing gracefully. Turn over the pages of classics and books carefully, and watch the flowers in the world quietly. Even if the light never returns, written books will accompany me forever.
