A 30-year-old public servant cherishes the dream of becoming a writer, but is exhausted from his daily work.
I'm 30 years old, and I'm still a loser. I have no money, no house, no car, no women, and I don't even have the courage to change myself.
The 30-year-old leftover girl, who went on a blind date to no avail, is still a white-collar worker who goes to high-end office buildings and eats at roadside restaurants.
At the age of 30, before I could catch the tail of my youth, I became a parent and was miserable in a world where bottles and diapers are everywhere.
…When we are 30 years old, we have a lot of dissatisfactions and want to really start to change ourselves.
Julie in the movie "Julie and Julia" was going through such a state, and later she became a well-known blogger and best-selling author. How did she achieve such a counterattack?
You can watch the movie for a detailed plot. There are many heartwarming scenes about love, food, and friendship.
These are not listed here. Today we will only talk about writing, which is the writing issue that my friends on the Internet are most concerned about.
Julie is the movie version of Peng Xiaoliu. Yes, she is the slash youth from 10 years ago, an Internet celebrity who successfully counterattacked.
How did she achieve all this through writing?
Let me tell you slowly: As a clerk, Julie's life was extremely hard. She answered all kinds of difficult calls every day and was scolded inexplicably.
At the age of 30, I watched my good friends start to prosper one by one, some became well-known writers, and some were talking about projects worth hundreds of millions.
Fortunately, Julie, who was trapped in a life of despair, still had a heart for food. She vented her dissatisfaction with life in the kitchen and actually developed good cooking skills.
Writing is Julie's inner desire. She once wrote half of a novel, but it was later thrown into the trash.
But she has always dreamed of being a writer.
It was her love for food and writing that gave Julie the motivation to change her life.
So think carefully about whether writing is your passion and whether it is a dream you are willing to pursue throughout your life.
It was still the era of blogging, and the platform Julie chose was blogging.
The threshold is not high, just register an account and you can write.
There are many platforms for writing today. Whether it is a WeChat official account or a professional writing platform like this, it can become the starting point for writing.
Since the bonus period for WeChat official accounts has expired, if a passerby opens an official account, they will often feel very lonely and have little reading volume in the initial stage.
Therefore, choosing this kind of platform will be more suitable for the grassroots. There will be a group of like-minded friends together, and there will be a suitable mechanism to ensure that excellent articles are seen by more people.
Of course, if you have the energy and a strong interest in social media, you can also choose to be the main position and take into account Weibo, WeChat, Zhihu, Douban and other platforms, just like our leader Xiao Qiushui.
This does require a lot of energy investment, and you have to do it according to your own time management.
Julie chose Julia as her role model, but who is Julia?
The famous American gourmet is the idol of many famous chefs.
Julia was decades older than Julie. After she got married at the age of 40, she came to France with her husband. After trying various things, she finally turned her love for food and cooking into her lifelong career.
She wrote the recipes and detailed processes for making various French meals into a thick book. It took eight years for this book to be published and became the most popular cooking bestseller.
Julia's story inspires Julie, who is struggling in reality. The two people are experiencing the same dilemma at the intersection of time and space.
Julie studied every detail of Julia's life, often imagining herself as an idol, and even imitated her wearing a pearl necklace and her French pronunciation.
Learning all starts with imitation.
If you happen to have such an idol, such as Sister Qiushui, Uncle Qiuye, Xiaoliu and other great gods, you can try to start with what they do every day and arm yourself with their methodology and way of thinking.
Of course, if you can communicate directly with the deity, you can make rapid progress.
In short, find someone you admire and use their experience to inspire you.
Julie's initial goal was 365 days and 524 recipes, which also meant cooking more than one dish every day and publishing an article every day.
Daily updates are definitely an ascetic life. Julie almost counts the days and lives them day by day.
After get off work every day, buy ingredients, cook delicious food in the middle of the night, and blog about it.
At the beginning, it was like writing in a world of nothingness. I had no idea who would read it or pay attention to it.
However, as I write more and more fans, I am more and more motivated to write.
After insisting on writing for more than 300 days, a New York Times reporter became interested in Jolie, and she finally became famous.
In this process, the most valuable thing to learn is not only Julie’s perseverance, but also her concentration.
Writing in a field every day will become a habit for others to read, just like a serial novel, and it will also accumulate enough popularity.
Speaking of this, I have to say that the great masters we admire all have their own focus, such as Qiu Shui's knowledge management and Qiu Ye's PPT.
Julie experienced many breakdowns while writing every day.
She sometimes gets so frustrated that she feels like she can't do anything right, not even a chicken.
