Chapter 9 hot pen vs cold pen

One day, I heard from a friend that according to the American custom, when a daughter gets married, the father will lead the daughter to dance, and the guests will gather around and sing "Little Girl Who Is No Longer Daddy".So I thought: When you were young, I first knelt on the ground and danced with your little hand, and gradually bent my waist to dance with you; when you get married, I will dance with you, and I will definitely be full of emotions and tears. In this feeling, I picked up the pen to write down the mood at that time, and I cried while writing, and I read it twice after writing, and I was still full of emotions.Then I sent the article to the newspaper, but it was only after it was published, and I regretted it a bit. I felt that the text was too impulsive, and I didn't go through "calm down" to review it, and I was afraid it would make people laugh.

After more than a month, I almost forgot about it. One morning, I received a call from a friend, saying that my newly published article was so touching that he shed tears.I hurriedly flipped through the newspaper, and it turned out that the impulsive article had been published. I read it again, and wept again. The article "Daddy's Little Daughter" was mentioned by many friends later, and everyone said that they were deeply moved, because they explored to the depths of their hearts. I tell this story to tell you that there are "hot pen" and "cold pen" in writing articles. There is no repeated modification, but it can "directly point to people's hearts", which belongs to "hot pen".

As for those who have planned to write several paragraphs after "planning", how to introduce the theme, extend the discussion, and how to conclude, they belong to "cold writing".It can also be said that those who win with "emotion" and unabashedly "tell the infinite things in their hearts" often belong to "hot pens"; Hot pens often need the stimulation of inspiration, just as gunpowder needs tinder to ignite.Cold pen is more "manageable", you just need to read more, save more materials, and practice writing skills, you can get it.It can also be said that hot pens can be "accidentally obtained", while cold pens can be "no pains, no gains".In order to ensure that they can always write good works, everyone has to learn "cold pen".

Do you remember that I mentioned in a previous article that the most important thing in writing is to grasp "people, places, events and things" first. Don't think this is nothing unusual, you must know: testing these five items is like driving a complex machine. , Even if you are a veteran, you have to check the key points of the operation.For example, for this topic, it is not easy for you to start with "my mother is my father's wife"! Even if you use "my mother is the one who gave birth to me" to break the topic, I am afraid it is too vulgar.When you encounter this situation, you have to find inspiration from the five major items of "people, land, events, times and things".

Think from the perspective of "people" and "place", you can say "I miss studying in other places, and the one who misses me the most is my mother." Think from the perspective of "things" and "things", you can Said "every time I put on my coat, I think of my mother, and think of the day I left home. When I went out, she stopped me suddenly, and buttoned every button for me. Lazy!'" Thinking about "time", you can say "Dragon Boat Festival, but I couldn't go home because I couldn't finish my homework. I suddenly received an express mail in the morning. When I opened it, it was actually from my mother. Zongzi made by hand."Then you can write about the picture of your mother making zongzi, and the warm memories of the family eating zongzi.

We often say that "people with high skills are bold". If you want to write a composition easily, you must be good at it, and you need to work hard at ordinary times.In order to make your writing different from others, and to show your skill of citing extensively, you have to read more extracurricular books, and even absorb new scientific knowledge from newspapers.In life, you need to observe more, the so-called "a grain of sand is a world, a flower is a kingdom", "observe things to gain knowledge" from subtle things, and "feel deep affection" from the relationship between people.

Finally, I would like to give you a famous saying in Chinese painting theory - "Be respectful with your heart, and loose with your pen".The same is true for writing articles. Even if you find a lot of materials, you have to screen them to keep the most applicable ones, and then write them out in an orderly manner.Only such articles can be organized and not messy, and can also form a clear "reasonable path" to express what is in your heart into the hearts of others.
