something about writing




Often enough, I encountered some text in the blogger's world, which showed glamorous literary attempt; unusual words, seemingly rhetorical arrangement, etc. Nevertheless, the result would be simply giving me the impression of immaturity, from the perspective of thought, as well as from that of art.
It is not easy to persuade people being themselves no matter in reality, in general, or in the little fragment of reality, writing. But I think, it would be so much easier, if we use the language that we use in our everyday life, to express ourselves, instead of flapping the pages of dictionary, even if the expression turned into the form of writing. The reason is just so simple. It is rather like when a Hunanese cooks with chili, as he/she customed to do so, then, the spirit of natureal flavor would bekept and spread there autometically. What is popular, or what would suit the taste of people at the other table, do not really matter.
There are some beautiful writing works from high school students; natural narration, fluent logical development, etc. But most of the adult writings are just like those lousy high school assignments.
People are quoting what have been said by the others, as a proof of their own thought; on the big scale of universe, the fate of human world, etc. Smart enough. Nevertheless, when coming to ones own writing, how to construct a picture which could cover a grand view, while one's actual vision covers barely a connor?
I think, there is no reason for one to dispise one's own little connor, while the big world would be impossible to exist without the participation of every little particles. At the same time, trying to have a specific view of ones connor, I think, is much easier than getting a specific view of the grand world. So, why don't just start with the easy job and try to get the best out of it?
