Reading Bigen｜#Enlightenment• I don’t know what to write, what should I do?

I don't know if you have encountered the situation of "Venus exhaustion"? Me too! After reading " 3 Ways to Write an Article Without Inspiration ^[1] " by Mr. @Hongyan, Southeast and Northwest Fei , this anxiety has gradually eased. The following has incorporated my own reflections and insights to share with you.

■ Book and Input

Broadly speaking, increasing your " input ".

Books are one of the sources of ingestion , and newspapers, magazines, and film and television dramas are also acceptable. There are many forms and they can be extended by themselves; but there should be a main line (consistency) surrounding your "personal design". As soon as everyone hears you Your name (nickname) immediately creates a strong image in your mind about your output style.

This " input " is best where you are interested and feel self-loathing , so that you can hold it stably and continuously.

Interestingly, compared to newspapers and magazines that have already been "processed", at least in terms of length, a book is like the original material, which can better lead the writer's ability to organize, organize, refine, summarize, and deduce... Let's call it " ideological height "! (For details, please refer to the article "11 Writing Lessons for Adults ^[2] ")

 Facing the same thing, others can see one point, you can see five points; others can see five points, you can see the connection between these five points; others can see the connection between these five points, You can also see the inner relationship between the five points of one thing and the three points of another thing. In this way, what you write must be better, even if the ability to choose words and sentences is a little weaker, your writing level will be better.

This is also the most interesting part of the dismantling and installation process in which the teacher emphasized how to "speak" or "write" in the text.

⚠️ Choose your " input " source carefully, it is especially good if you can exercise " ideological height "!

■ Translation and translation to make things easier

The teacher mentioned that he reads ancient Chinese every day and loves to translate it into vernacular.

This reminds me of a concept, that is, to find the theme of " Make things easier " to write, you don't need to be the original creator of the idea, you only need to be the translator of knowledge !

For example, if you find that everyone is suffering from the withdrawal of LikeCoins, you may have crawled some information and found some previous articles, which may be obscure or difficult to understand, or need to update information. In short, as long as you are sure that what you are writing can fill the gaps in the old text and have extra value , instead of repeating the old tune, why hesitate?

Sometimes the finished product is not a flash of inspiration, but is accumulated day by day.

Take the " Memorandum for Newcomers in Matt City • Seven Tips ^[3] ", in fact, the idea of writing this article is that I often see many articles with good content, but if the typesetting can be optimized, I would like to advocate it. The use of "Enter and Shift + Enter"; after the idea sprouted, in order to expand the content of the article, I began to pay attention to the difficulties that users may encounter when publishing articles, and recorded them one by one in the memo. When the accumulated amount reaches a certain level, it is material for an article.

⚠️ Find the " pain points " of most people and build a bridge of information.

■ Review old articles, review and analyze

Looking back on the old articles now, you can also match the author data report , which is even more reliable!

Those background data are an " external point of view ". In addition to the apparent number of clapping hands, it can dig out more aspects (indicators) and understand the market's ideas; according to the chart, it can identify which articles are outstanding and which are still insufficient?

Regarding the review of "repentance for doing less work", the teacher analyzed it very thoroughly, condensing it into two key points:

1. Extracting nutrients from failure <br class="smart">will certainly find some valuable insights and experiences.
2. Always write <br class="smart"> so that the "database" is large enough and there are enough materials to come out and reassemble.

As for the "successful pen" - what the market recognizes, not self-perception - don't waste it, try to analyze its popular factors, copy its successful model, and increase the probability of producing good articles in the future.

⚠️ Make good use of data reports, review failures, and analyze successes.

■ Series serialization

Anything with a "serial" nature will be counted, saving you the time to rack your brains to come up with themes . Linked to each other, the articles have the advantage of cooperating with each other and taking care of each other.

But everything is good or not. The series of articles is most afraid that the theme is too unfamiliar (niche), or that the readers will get tired of it after a long time. How to keep it fresh ? This is what writers should be wary and fearful of, and I can't help but worry about #wealthofnationweekly !

⚠️ There are pros and cons to maintain freshness.

■ Community Contribution

Community activities are like essays in class during school time. It makes you think about issues (problems) that you have never thought about before . You can refer to other people's works first to see how they interpret them, which may inspire new ideas!

I like to look at the purpose and rules of each community event to see if there is anything "fun" and use it for my own use.

Taking my community event | My Nostalgic Collection ^[4] as an example, the use of "number of visitor views " in the personal award is to create an incentive for users to promote the article outside the site . The target audience (Target Audience, TA) is no longer limited to the citizens of the station.

Although I can't participate in the individual award (because of the review), I pretended to be eligible, and the current article is not bad.

Oh yes, this should go without saying! Participate in community events and have a chance to earn LikeCoins bonuses, why not?

⚠️ Browse community events to find ideas and have fun.
