First of all, a great genius must be a great madman. Are you crazy about literature? I don't know what your mood will be when you read a book. At least in the eyes of others, I have always been calm. Only when I am reading a book will I cry, fall and tear like a madman. Why? Literature has irresistible magic. It belongs to an independent world.
Secondly, literature makes the author fall into eternal pain, so we have to face more people's emotional world, enhance and condense people's feelings, and at the same time carry out philosophical thinking. Do you have the consciousness of devoting yourself to literature? Haizi was lying on the tracks, Gu Cheng killed his wife and committed suicide, and his forefinger spent most of his life in a mental hospital. These people are brilliant writers, and their pain will never be understood and they will always be lonely.
Finally, tolerance and flogging are the most sacred right-hand men of writers. Do you have a tolerant heart? Do you have the courage to fight against the dark society? Looking at life in the north island: net. As you grow older, you will find yourself unconsciously involved in the complex network, political field, economic field and cultural field, and all the factors begin to restrict you slowly. Even my teacher now admits that it is difficult for him to evaluate a writer objectively. But it is impossible to get rid of society. You can only try to be uncompromising.
The above is the psychological premise of literature.
Now that everyone can read, anyone who can read can write a book. What has that literature become?
Fiction is the representative of popular culture, and its main body is narration, telling the joys and sorrows around "people" (any creature with human spirit). Now many booksellers put "novel" and "literature" as two concepts. Is a novel literature or not?
If you are determined to return novels to the literary family, then you should return yourself to the most ignorant position and look up to the world. Short body, so the world is big. Calm and surging are two extremes of literary inspiration. No matter which one you belong to, the most important thing is to establish your own style. Let others see the charm between your lines, and you will know that it represents you.
Style depends on the writer's temperament. The brushwork can be imitated and the structure can be copied, but the temperament can't be learned. A writer needs a pair of observing eyes and a thinking brain. You can't be immersed in thinking 24 hours a day, but one person's deep thinking and many people's arguments can make your thoughts deeper and your temperament more precipitated. Taste the external phenomena in your mind and exercise your thinking ability. Avoid being too extreme.
Writing practice is of course a big aspect, and it is also important to absorb the nutrition of others. The key is what books to read and how to read them. Doesn't mean you can write a novel just by reading it. Literature can carry everything in the world, and novels are only one aspect. The world that words can express is already a fragmented part. How do you use effective combination to make it have a sensible concrete, rather than a chaotic creative method is the most important thing to ponder.
I don't think you can be an excellent writer if you study literature. If you are really interested in writing, you should read all kinds of books, especially philosophy and history. There is infinite wisdom in philosophy, and history can give you keen eyes. Read the original works of famous artists, not what others have chewed. Reading XXX from XXX is a product of politics and business, which will only corrode the brains of people who don't know how to think. Nietzsche, Hegel, Heidegger, Bourdieu, Foucault ... understand their ideas more. Don't believe the comments in history books, it is the history of winners. Don't give up scientific knowledge, which is another manifestation of human nature. As for literature books, what can you give us? In my opinion, this is an actual script to create ideas and words.
Finally, for you personally, give some advice. As a young man, self-confidence is valuable, but you must have a modest attitude. Never say what you know or understand, that is the most ignorant performance.
Learn more foreign languages, because languages reflect different thinking characteristics of different nationalities. Several languages that human beings should learn most: Chinese (the most typical representative of isolated language), Russian (the most typical representative of inflectional language) and Japanese (the most typical representative of cohesive language). As a native of China, you should be glad that learning Japanese is easier than learning Chinese deliberately. If you find Russian difficult to learn, learn French or German, which is also a typical inflectional language. There is also a very abnormal Arabic. You can go to the United Arab Emirates to sell oil if you learn well. In short, I can speak four foreign languages to varying degrees, and my personal experience is still very useful.
Although I don't know what kind of novel you want to write, I finally recommend some books for your problem and just pick and read:
Books on literary theory (too many, choose a few according to your own preferences)
Warring States Policy (a real book of wisdom, interesting to describe, not boring at all)
Zhuangzi (needless to say, although I don't like classics, I value literariness, not ideology).
Shi Shuo Xin Yu
A dream of red mansions (to be honest, I really don't like it, mainly because the characters don't fit my personality. However, China's national treasure novels, with colorful storylines fading a little, still have great research and reference value.
The Count of Monte Cristo (Dumas drives the reader to death every time, but he still wants to list it. Maybe one day you will feel like talking to yourself when you look at it.
Pride and Prejudice (If you don't feel at the same level, you must watch it several times).
Genji Tale (the originator of the novel, I said why no one reads it? Very elegant and charming. I won't mention politics)
The unbearable lightness of life (too considerate. If you don't mark the whole book, you really don't know what you think.
I don't like China's books more and more these two years. It's too reasonable and unrealistic, and the character of China people hasn't changed much. But I have to oppose reading China's books. It was also written by thoughtful people, and we should respect them. Lu Xun, Ba Jin, Qian Zhongshu ... Contemporary neo-realism can be used for recreation.
Having said so much nonsense, I just want to say: the landlord's score is really very small. ...
