Since the media age, how do ordinary people express themselves through writing?

Today is the era of knowledge economy, and we unconsciously fall into the era of media prevalence. With self-media, you can hear your personal voice. However, have you ever worried about how to express yourself better?

Before the arrival of the media, I had the same distress. Until I met Natalie Goldberg's "Writing My Heart: How Ordinary People Express themselves through Writing", reading this work as big as mine, I really felt a feeling of meeting each other for a long time. Use the ideas in the book, combined with personal groping in the dark, to write this article and tell everyone what confidence and spiritual care it has given an ordinary person.

1. Writing is a natural talent of human beings.

Don't doubt it. If you can think, you can write. Writing is just an activity to record what you think, feel and think. You want to do it well, just like every sport, you need to practice.

2. Prepare pens and notebooks for writing.

I like fountain pens, which are convenient and cheap. But I will definitely touch a slightly looser pen with my nose, so that you will click when writing on paper, and you will feel your thoughts flowing smoothly on the paper. In any case, prepare a pen that is easy to use and writes smoothly. As the author said, the speed of your brain is much faster than that of your writing, so you don't want a slow pen that wastes time.

As for notebooks, don't choose those with beautiful envelopes. Such a notebook will only make you have the impulse to write the most beautiful words on it. You can't write for a long time, and the final result is likely to be that you can't write a word.

Don't tell yourself that I will write the greatest novel or poem in the world. Tell myself in my heart that I want to write the worst words in the world. Find a place to sit down, pen in hand, set a period of time and continue to write. The most important thing is not to stop, let the ego disappear slowly, let the id appear, listen to the original idea, and let it flow down your arm to the pen tip and then to the paper. Writing practice is as simple as that. Set a fixed period of time every day, whether it's ten minutes or twenty minutes or an hour, and stick to it.
