Among my three writing enlightenment books, "The Magic Weapon of Writing" gave me a lot of advice on non-fiction writing.

One of the sentences was an inspiration to me, and I regard it as a treasure. This sentence is "The essence of writing is rewriting."

This sentence is very practical for both beginner writers and experienced writers. Before publishing the article, at least check it once and correct any illogical and illogical parts so that readers can read it more smoothly and easily.

The most difficult part for me in the writing process is the beginning. I turn on the computer for half an hour, and my mind is always elsewhere. From time to time, I take out my mobile phone to browse, stand up and go to the refrigerator to find something to eat. An hour has passed and I still haven't written a satisfactory paragraph.

At this time, silently recite Hemingway's wise saying, "First drafts are bullshit" to resolve. Be brave and write the beginning, paragraph after paragraph. When you get stuck, go back to the beginning, read the title, and revise it.

After writing the first draft, read it through. You may delete a large paragraph, change the beginning, or give a more appropriate title.

"The Magic Weapon of Writing" mentioned that the beginning is the most critical part to grab the reader's attention. If your beginning is not attractive, the reader will not be interested in continuing to read. The length of the beginning can be one sentence or a whole paragraph. The most important thing is to arouse the curiosity and interest of others. How to arouse the curiosity and interest of others? You yourself must first be interested in what you write.

This nature of writing reminds me of flower arrangement. In the Japanese drama "Flower of the High Mountain", the florist Tsukishima Momo always cuts off excess branches, leaves, and flowers when handling flowers in order to maintain the beauty of flowers. Presenting a concise whole. The same goes for writing. Through constant revision, you can create a smooth and concise article.

Constantly revising one word or one sentence to make the whole article more concise and smooth. This process itself makes me enjoy it very much.
