How to get rid of the problem of lack of confidence in writing

Read more books, take a day off and try again, if it works.

I can't write well, what should I do? ”

What should I do if I can't write anymore in the middle of writing? ”

Will it be laughed at? ”

The more I write, the more bottomless I become, what should I do? ”

It may seem easy to say, but it's not that simple.

Maybe the experience of Olympic champion Yang Qian can inspire you:

In fact, when she first came into contact with shooting, Yang Qian failed to play normally in many consecutive games, and the poor score and unsatisfactory results brought her a huge psychological shadow.

For a long time, Yang Qian had difficulty overcoming psychological obstacles and could not actively prepare for the competition.

After failing again and again with Wuyuan, Yang Qian slowly found the technique of positive psychological suggestion:

Don't think about your past successes or failures every time you compete, because every time it's a new beginning. ”

When I'm competing, every shot I take tells myself, you're going to be okay, you're great. ”

When she no longer deliberately pursues the result of the game, but pays attention to whether the action of raising the gun is done in place, and strives to devote herself to the current game, she slowly finds her state.

This kind of letting go mentality can lead to the most confident winning and losing.

People who are not confident will not dare to try, feel that they can't do anything, unconsciously deny and doubt themselves, fall into low self-esteem and internal friction, and cannot see their own value.

A person with low self-esteem, unable to believe in himself, unable to believe in the laws of growth, he will constantly dwarf himself, thinking that he will never be able to write well.

Writing is a skill worth honing for a lifetime.

The real reward is actually the writing itself, and the dedication is what it means.

Let go of the obsession of inferiority, complete it first, and then perfect.

Hemingway famously used the analogy:

The first draft of everything is stinking shit. ”

You have to be more confident than ever to face this pile of shit, and even Chazao must be mentally prepared to eradicate this pile of calling shit:

The whole text is torn down and restarted.

Grandma Tsuneko Nakamura mentioned in "The World Is Worth It":

The so-called self-confidence is to make progress little by little what was originally not done well. ”

Take your time and don't give up, and you're getting closer to success.

Are you a novice writer?

For a novice writer, the first obstacle encountered is generally not a problem of writing skills, but often a lack of self-confidence in writing.

Do you often deny yourself: "I have no talent for writing", "I have no material", "I am too poor in expression", ...... "I have no talent for writing"?Therefore, before you start writing, you must first address the problem of writing confidence.

First of all, I believe from the bottom of my heart that I will definitely be able to write well.

There is a term in psychology called "self-fulfilling prophecy", which means that you will do what you think without consciously doing it, and the end result will be what you expected.

For example, if you think that you are a scumbag, not the material for studying, so you don't pay attention in class, don't do your homework seriously, and of course the exam results will be a mess as you expected. Then you say to yourself, "Look, I'm a scumbag, and I'm really not reading material."

When you decide that you are not the material for reading, the subsequent actions are used to prove this "point", and the final result is just as you predicted.

It's the same for writers, if you don't think you're good for writing, you'll find all sorts of reasons to justify your unsuitability. Even if I started to learn to write, I wrote a few articles, found that the reading volume was too low, and further confirmed that I was not the material for writing, and then gave up.

However, if you believe that you can learn to write, you will type carefully, read books carefully, and believe that deliberate practice will make you a professional writer. In 2022, I signed up for the Hongdan Writing Training Camp, believing that after deliberate practice, I can also submit the manuscript and realize the realization of writing.

I now write more every day, I don't care about the amount of reading, I just use it to practice my pen, that is, to improve my writing ability. I have been writing for more than 200 days, and many friends say that my articles are getting better and better, and I have gained more motivation to move forward.

I deeply believe in my heart that I can definitely become an excellent writer, and I am willing to be a long-termist, deeply cultivate Hengliang's writing, and continue to write, and I will definitely write better and better.

Second, find the right role models to motivate yourself.

One person goes fast, a group of people goes far. My role model in writing is currently Wang Xia, Teacher Hongdan, and now I have joined the writing community of Teacher Hongdan, and I will definitely be able to grow together with everyone here.

I am also a novice writer, and today I will share with you my experience on how to build confidence in writing, and we will grow and improve our writing together.
