Curiosity & Imagination - Essential Writers' Tools
13.15 // 0 komentar // Lisa Stanford // Category: curiosity imagination essential writers tools , freelance writer , freelance writing , good writers , good writing , writers , writing //It's hard to imagine how or why one might choose to be a writer, a freelance writer in particular, without these features. What will be the impetus, if not to absorb the information and do it again in a way that others can enjoy and absorb as well? Without it, the chosen way of life becomes just a job - a way to earn a living - and for most of us this is not what is on the
.Curiosity
Curiosity can not be created or when it learns that there is, but it can be nurtured even when only a small spark there. If you've ever started a sentence with the words: "I wonder ...." or follow clues around in my head to see where it takes you, or be lost in a subject other people find boring, or found one million asking questions of someone you just met, you've got spark. Now, all you need is to let it burn. Here are some ways to fan the flame:
* Do not be satisfied with just enough research, or just enough information to complete the task.
Keep digging, keep analysis, constantly seeking a deeper understanding of the material. In the end, you'll run out of time, you'll be left without resources, or your sixth sense will tell you that one more fact will be a fact too. That's when you know you've done all you can do, and it was time to write.
* deal with its own theme.
care about, make it personally invest ourselves. Believe it or not, it will not compromise your integrity as a writer, she will improve. If you care about, the message will ring true and the words will come alive, if not, the reader will sense - often without knowing why - that something is missing
.* Think about everything you learn as a thread in the tapestry.
If you stick with it long enough, regardless of the kind of writing work, patterns begin to emerge. You will find that no idea exists in isolation and that every piece of knowledge is inexplicably linked to every other piece. The more you learn, the more obvious links to become one. New ideas in combination with long forgotten snippets of information generate deeper insights, which, in turn, become the new theme in the sample.
Imagination
entry in the imagination is not something only novelists, poets, writers and do promotions. This is something that every good writer, consciously or instinctively. Imagination is our secret weapon, our special ability to put an original spin on almost anything, no matter how tired or hackneyed is May do.
a good writer looks at the task, the raw data, a blank page and see something no one else sees - a unique perspective, hidden patterns, only the heart of the matter. As combining the chemical elements go into a piece of information, impressions and interpretations; out something new, one of a kind
.If curiosity can be fed, like a small plant, which is also true of fantasy? Why do some people view the world through a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes, while others see it in black and white, straight lines that go from here to there? Can be made from raw imagination of our minds, or is it something that has to be or not to have, like blue eyes?
If we believe that many great writers, imagination is part of our human birthright. If a spark there, hidden just waiting for the light to shine. What turns an analytical thinker, imaginative one? Try these suggestions.
* Open your mind to another way of looking at things.
If someone else suggests a different perspective, do not dismiss out of hand. Delve, explore, explore. Turn it over in your mind. Add to it. Add it to the mix of ideas on the table.
* Do not be satisfied with his first take on anything.
Do not be in a hurry to get to him and hit the computer. Unless you are on a killer deadline, step back and give it some air. See what else comes up. Walk around it (figuratively), and chances are you'll see it from another angle.
* Do not settle for the way you've always done it.
If you usually surf the web or use the library work, find experts to interview. If you dive into writing minute you finish your research, try giving yourself a day to read and absorb your notes and sleep on it before you sit down to write. If you polish each sentence as you go, try to stream-of-consciousness writing. Only a change in habits will stretch the limits of your imagination.
* Take the time to do nothing.
call it meditation, daydreaming, and kickback time. Carve out some time at least once a week for you. Go to the park, zoo, and country. Walk or ride a bicycle, or drive. Let your mind wander wherever it chooses to go. The idea is to slow the compulsive thinking / doing mind and give it a break. Just imagine what could come from this afternoon!
