It's been almost a month since I started writing seriously, and I have published 14 articles on WeChat official account and Jane's book. Let me briefly share the reasons why I started writing.

The reason why I started writing must be my own desire for expression. I have a desire to write since junior high school and a dream of becoming a writer. Middle school tries to write intermittently. At that time, they were all popular short stories about campus feelings, but the writing was really poor at that time, so it didn't take long each time.

Recently, I wrote something on the Internet, starting with my resignation after the year. At that time, I thought a lot and made a great determination to leave, so I had many thoughts and feelings about leaving. But this kind of thing is not easy to tell colleagues and friends in real life, so I wrote something on the Internet, explaining why I suddenly chose to leave my job after three years of work, why I gave up the only promotion opportunity of the company, and why I turned around decisively without choosing a good future path.

It is precisely because of this desire to express and talk that I started writing and became my official WeChat account. I wrote intermittently, and I wrote more than 30 thousand words in less than a month. Although there is a big gap with the big coffee on the internet, I like this state of expressing my opinions and ideas very much.

Therefore, the desire to talk and express is a very powerful force.

02. Improve your influence.

I participated in an online sharing activity about writing before, and the sharing guests mentioned the practical significance brought by writing, one of which was to expand their influence.

I always feel that my ability in a certain job is very good, and I feel that I am not mediocre in the company, but how can I let others know my ability? How to create and enhance your personal influence? Only writing is the most cost-effective way to convey your influence.

Now the writing style is not very good, but through this period of writing, I have made many friends who also like writing, and we will stick to it and make progress together. And there will be backstage friends in the official WeChat account asking me questions about writing. I am really, really happy. For readers who ask me questions, although I dare not say how professional they are, they are really serious when they reply, and I really don't want to betray their trust in me.

In this way, my influence on writing has improved a little.

03. Exercise your ability.

I believe many readers don't particularly agree that writing can exercise their abilities. Most people think that writing only exercises the author's writing style and writing ability, and other abilities have no effect at all. I think people who have this idea must be people who can't really write. Writing can not only exercise your writing ability, but also exercise the following abilities:

First, logical thinking ability. I think writing exercises the ability of logical thinking. If you get a topic or an idea and want to write it into an article, how do you lay out the article, which part expresses what content, how to realize emotional progression in the next part, and what content is used at the end of the article? These questions will unconsciously exercise your logical thinking ability and make your thinking more rigorous.

Second, deep thinking ability. In fact, now it has reached a self-media era, and countless articles will emerge after one thing comes out. Take the recent incident of "Mi Meng's 50,000 monthly salary assistant" as an example, just search online. There are hundreds of articles about it. So how to stand out from hundreds of similar articles is bound to make us show deeper and more powerful thinking in the article. Over time, when we express an opinion, we form the habit of thinking deeply.

Third, the ability to express. As I said just now, the most basic motivation of my writing is my desire to express, and conversely, writing articles also improves my ability to express. How to express one's views and convince readers to accept their views is to exercise through writing.

I hope to have extra income.

Many people on the Internet say that 20 16 is the first year of content payment, and 20 17 will be even more popular. Many people envy WeChat's 7-figure monthly income. Like Mimeng's 680,000 headline advertising fee and vegetable head, almost every article was rewarded with 1 0,000, and Himalaya also tasted the sweetness of content payment.

So many people hope that this can be written as another Mimeng or another cabbage head.

I also have such a wish that even if I can't earn a million dollars a month, it's not bad to bring some extra income to myself with what I write.
