Find new interests
The first time I tried writing horror I was in the fifth grade and it wasn’t very good but I wrote it about all my classmates dying because of an evil substitute teacher so I liked it still.
Even if you are the slightest interested in something you wrote keep practicing it until you get better. Passion plays a big role and how we develop our skills.
The last time I wrote in the horror genre was one year ago for my creative writing workshop class and the story was a lot better. The point? Find new interest and see how good you are with it. If you’re not that good yet keep working at it and you’ll become a writer of many trades.
You don’t want to be a stiff writer who only sticks to one thing and masters that one talent.
Challenge yourself to make yourself and your writing better. There are some exercises you can do to get your creative juices flowing and can test your writing skills. Don’t just stick to one aspect of writing that you’re good at but explore more and become good at those too.
Try these writing prompts:
1. Describe a forest without using the words brown, tree, or green.
2. Describe a familiar room without using the ‘sight’ sense. You can use smell, sound, touch, and hear but not sight.
3. Write an emotional scene from the point of view of an inanimate object.
Having a defined author brand is important but it doesn’t mean you should feel trapped into only producing one type of writing to the public.
Try every aspect of writing to explore all your options. You never know what talent you may have in a different area of writing all together.
I consider myself as a fiction writer above all else but this summer I’m taking a shot, for the first time, at non-fiction for an ebook about how to write a fiction novel. (I’ll be giving it out for free on my blog to all subscribers.)
If you are a nonfiction writer take a shot at fiction. I find fiction very cool, intriguing and rewarding and new fiction writers may discover how creative they are.
Branch out from your norm and unravel what you really can do. I believe every writer has talent and I believe in you.
Moslashuvchan yozuvchiga aylanish
Shaquanda Dalton tomonidan |
Har bir yozuvchi yangi narsalarni, qiyinchiliklarni va qiziqishlarni sinab ko'rish orqali o'z yozuvlarida moslashuvchan bo'lishi kerak. Siz sinab ko'rmaguningizcha, nima yaxshi ekanligingizni hech qachon bilmaysiz.
Men yillar davomida yozgan barcha tarkiblarim haqida o'yladim va shuni aytishim mumkinki, men turli materiallarni yozishga harakat qildim, garchi ularning ba'zilari unchalik yaxshi bo'lmasa ham. Men drama va romantikaga ko'proq moyilman, lekin men dahshat, komediya, o'smirlik, sirli va erotik fantastikalarni suratga oldim.
Har qanday yangi narsani sinab ko'rsangiz, undan o'rganasiz va barcha yozuvchilar aynan shunday qilishlari kerak.
Yangi qiziqishlarni toping
Men dahshat yozishni birinchi marta sinab ko'rganimda, men beshinchi sinfda edim va unchalik yaxshi emas edi, lekin men buni barcha sinfdoshlarim yomon o'rinbosar o'qituvchi tufayli vafot etgani haqida yozganman, shuning uchun ham bu menga yoqdi.
Agar siz yozgan narsaga ozgina qiziqsangiz ham, yaxshilanmaguningizcha, uni mashq qilishda davom eting. Ehtiros katta rol o'ynaydi va biz o'z mahoratimizni qanday rivojlantiramiz.
Men oxirgi marta dahshatli janrda yozganman, bir yil oldin o'zimning ijodiy yozish ustaxonasi darsim uchun edi va hikoya ancha yaxshi edi. Gap nima? Yangi qiziqishni toping va u bilan qanchalik yaxshi ekanligingizni ko'ring. Agar siz unchalik yaxshi bo'lmasangiz, u bilan ishlashda davom eting va siz ko'plab kasblarning yozuvchisiga aylanasiz.
Yangi vazifalarni bajaring
Siz faqat bitta narsaga yopishib olgan va bitta iste'dodni o'zlashtirgan qattiq yozuvchi bo'lishni xohlamaysiz.
O'zingizni va yozishingizni yaxshiroq qilish uchun o'zingizni sinab ko'ring. Ijodiy shiralarni oqish uchun bajarishingiz mumkin bo'lgan ba'zi mashqlar mavjud va yozish qobiliyatingizni sinab ko'rishingiz mumkin. Yozishning o'zingiz yaxshi biladigan bir tomoniga yopishib qolmang, balki ko'proq o'rganing va ularda ham yaxshi bo'ling.
Ushbu yozish ko'rsatmalarini sinab ko'ring:
1. Jigarrang, daraxt, yashil so‘zlarni ishlatmasdan o‘rmonni tasvirlang.
2. "Ko'rish" hissini ishlatmasdan tanish xonani tasvirlab bering. Siz hid, tovush, teginish va eshitishdan foydalanishingiz mumkin, lekin ko'rish emas.
3. Jonsiz narsa nuqtai nazaridan hissiy manzara yozing.
Moslashuvchan yozuvchi bo'ling
Muayyan muallif brendiga ega bo'lish juda muhim, ammo bu o'zingizni faqat bitta turdagi yozuvlarni ommaga taqdim etish uchun tuzoqqa tushishingiz kerak degani emas.
Barcha variantlaringizni o'rganish uchun yozishning har bir tomonini sinab ko'ring. Birgalikda yozishning boshqa sohalarida qanday qobiliyatga ega bo'lishingiz mumkinligini hech qachon bilmaysiz.
Men o‘zimni hamma narsadan avval fantastika yozuvchisi deb bilaman, lekin bu yozda birinchi marta badiiy roman yozish haqida elektron kitob uchun nobadiiy adabiyotni suratga olaman. (Men uni o'z blogimda barcha obunachilarga bepul tarqataman.)
Agar siz fantastika yozuvchisi bo'lsangiz, badiiy adabiyotga o'qing. Men fantastika juda zo'r, qiziqarli va foydali deb topaman va yangi fantastika yozuvchilari ularning qanchalik ijodiy ekanligini bilib olishlari mumkin.
O'zingizning me'yoringizdan ajralib chiqing va haqiqatan ham nima qila olishingizni aniqlang. Men har bir yozuvchida iste’dod borligiga ishonaman va men sizga ishonaman.
