It's not that I don't like writing: as long as I have participated in all the composition competitions since I was a child, I will never return empty-handed. I am not good at talking, but I have a strong desire to express myself in words. It's not that I haven't tried to write any achievements: after a period of persistence, I can only choose to give up whenever I can't see hope. But after giving up, a voice echoed in my heart, which made me unable to let go for a long time.
Fortunately, I am a person who likes to learn new things. I have taken many online courses on WeChat official account, including some writing courses. Then I knew-a platform for writers. I wrote it with the mentality of "practicing pen is not bad" Unexpectedly, I really met what I wanted.
Some people are not only successful, but also willing to help others who want to succeed.
One day, I came across a post signed "Tong Fei". I see that my profile is a young writer. Her official WeChat account is being drafted, and the new account is easily over-drafted. There is a truth and kindness in her works. I feel it should be more reliable, so I decided to give it a try. Then I spent a whole afternoon writing an article of more than 2,000 words, and I voted for her official WeChat account-Ladies Independent Group with trepidation. To my surprise, Tong Fei gave me a reply soon, telling me that the manuscript was over.
It's too easy to finish the manuscript successfully for the first time! I am ecstatic. I was so happy in the office for a long time that I didn't even know that my colleagues had locked me in after work.
A few days later, after several careful revisions, my first novel was published on the young and energetic official WeChat account "Ladies Independent Group". Then, I also received the first payment in my life.
In order to sum up successful experience and practice writing, I later wrote an article recording my successful manuscript and published it in my journal. And unexpected surprises followed: this article received more than 30,000 views, 1000 likes and brought me more than 300 fans. You know, I am a new author who has published less than ten articles and less than ten thousand words!
Thanks to Tong Fei, as a predecessor who has been writing for more than ten years, she has published her own works and won numerous honors. There is no doubt that she is my role model. Moreover, she encourages and helps a new author like me in the most approachable way. After publishing two articles, I slacked off writing again in the fetters of trivial matters in life. At this time, Tong Fei found me again, reminding me not to give up and encouraging me to continue writing.
2. One person walks faster, but a group of people go further.
People say that writing is a lonely thing, and you have to endure the loneliness of sitting on the bench. It is also for this reason that many talented writers finally give up.
Fortunately, this is what Tong Fei thought of. She set up a writing group and dragged me in. The small partners in the group are all writing lovers. To my surprise, this group is full of crouching tiger, hidden dragon and big coffee. Among them, there are not only Xiao Bai like me, but also professors of Chinese Department, writers' association members, book writers, and outstanding authors who have won today's headline Qingyun plan many times.
In the group, we chatted like a group of friends we had never met before. More, it is the sharing of new news, writing experience and new media operation in the writing industry. Here, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Enthusiastic friends will take pains to answer them, which makes me feel the friendliness and kindness of the writer. Whenever I encounter troubles in my life, I give up my intention to write and read the news in the group, which is full of power immediately. Thanks to the friends in the group, you make me feel that I still have the opportunity to pursue poetry and distance, and that the world is worth it and the future can be expected.
Don't look everywhere, there are plenty of opportunities you want.
I used to want to contribute and publish articles, running around like a headless fly. In fact, many times, it's not that you don't work hard, but that you are working in the wrong direction. You grope slowly and take many wrong paths in vain. Many magazines and official accounts of big V WeChat also advertise, but there are few opportunities for newcomers. On the one hand, the quality of newcomers' manuscripts can't meet their requirements. On the other hand, large-sized writers usually have long-term cooperation with senior authors, and the published manuscripts have been decided in advance. So newcomers really need a platform with opportunities.
In the past, I used to browse the official account of big V WeChat, today's headlines and other platforms to find some opportunities. But since I joined this writing exchange group, I don't need to do this anymore. Because in the group, my needs are basically met. Here, you can contribute and get a fee, you can get a new book review, you can take part in a writing class, and you can also take part in an essay contest. Most importantly, as a newcomer, there is a great chance of success. The best way to keep writing is to let yourself experience the joy of success constantly, isn't it?
A person's life is very long, and the mountains and waters are far away day after day. A person's life is also very short, and there are not many key opportunities. But seizing key opportunities will bring us closer to our dreams.
On the way to writing, a person walks alone. Although he can grow, loneliness is easy to give up. Growing up with a group of like-minded partners can supervise and encourage each other, help each other and advance together. Moreover, you can also open the originally narrow social circle and see a wider world.
Growing up, joining the writing exchange group and growing up in the group are my best gifts for me who love writing. I hope every word I type after staying up late can become a crutch for my hiking adventure.
