Is it possible to become a writer? Creative professions: how do they become writers? General rules for writing works
Currently on all kinds of graphomaniac resources and in in social networks very popular short lists advice on how to become a writer. Personally, I can’t imagine how someone’s ten paragraphs can miraculously turn you into a genius of the pen and keyboard, but the locomotive has already picked up speed, so it would be a shame not to jump on the bandwagon. What is the reason for the popularity of such posts? Perhaps modern man perceives large amounts of information worse and worse. Someone will see this as symptoms of clip thinking, I don’t know. But for some reason it is much more convenient for us to read a post with a dozen tips than an article of the same length, dismantling only one of them. Although the benefits from the latter will be much greater. Unfortunately, stereotypes still hold us tightly by the neck, and the new and the complex are very difficult to perceive, so from now on I will try to alternate articles for beginners and things with a claim to depth, requiring a certain outlook and preparation.
Today we have one of the light, non-binding entries.
(or go to a madhouse)
1. Read every day. The bigger, the better.
First and foremost important rule(in my opinion, it is even more important than the indisputable rule number two), with which any writer begins. After all, in order to learn to write, you need to study (obviously), watch how the masters do it. This argument lies on the surface: except for good books, no one will teach you how to write. Reading allows you to: a) expand day by day lexicon; b) get comfortable in space artistic style, adopt a peculiar manner of speech, which is very different from the usual conversational one; c) notice the techniques of accomplished writers; d) spend time pleasantly and usefully.
And, of course, don’t forget to keep a notepad handy while reading (see point 4) - suddenly a brilliant idea comes to mind or you want to write down a quote.
2. Write every day. Or edit what you wrote.
The second extremely useful and quite obvious rule. Can you become a writer if you don't write anything? Well, you understand... Undoubtedly, theory is the most important part of any craft, but practice is a hundred times more important! That's why healthy habit It should become a habit for a young writer to write daily. It doesn’t matter what - another story or chapter of a novel, blog entry or personal diary. The main thing is to practice writing every day. At worst, you can edit what you have written. It’s also useful, and also develops a sense of words.
3. Read poetry.
« To develop good taste in literature, you need to read poetry. If you think that I am saying this out of loyalty to the guild, that I am trying to advance the interests of my own guild, you are mistaken: I am not a member of a trade union. The fact is that, being the highest form of human speech, poetry is not only the most compressed, but also the most condensed way of conveying human experience; it also offers the highest possible standards for any linguistic activity - especially on paper. The more we read poetry, the less tolerant we become of verbosity of any kind, whether in political or philosophical speech, in history, social sciences or fiction. Good style in prose is always a hostage to the accuracy, acceleration and laconic intensity of poetic speech.<...>Please don't get me wrong: I'm not trying to debunk prose. The truth is that, by coincidence, poetry simply turned out to be older than prose and thus covered a greater distance. Literature began with poetry, with the song of a nomad, which precedes the writings of settled life».
« Let me draw a caricature here, because the caricature makes the point. In this cartoon I see a reader with both hands occupied with open books. In the left he holds a collection of poems, in the right - a volume of prose. Let's see which one he throws first. Of course, he can occupy both hands with volumes of prose, but this will leave him with criteria that nullify themselves. And of course, he may also ask what distinguishes good poetry from bad and where is the guarantee that what he holds in his left hand is really worth the trouble. Well, first of all, what he holds in his left hand will, in all likelihood, be lighter than what he holds in his right. Secondly, poetry - as Montale puts it - is a hopelessly semantic art, and the possibilities for quackery in it are extremely small. By the third line the reader will know what kind of thing he is holding in his left hand, for poetry appears quickly and the quality of the language in it makes itself felt immediately. After three lines he can look at what he is holding in his right hand».
4. Keep a notepad.
It's amazing how such a mere trifle, nonsense, can change your life or even your destiny. writing person! How many brilliant and simply good ideas and thoughts come to our minds in the most inappropriate places? And how many of them then find life on paper and reach the reader? Not that much, right? This is where a notepad would come in handy! Many self-confident young men rely entirely on their strong memory, for some reason they believe that they will not miss a single bright thought, not a single glimpse that comes to mind away from the desk. So they walk lightly, with the belief that everything is being written down. But as soon as you sit down in front of a blank sheet of paper, all the thoughts carefully stored in your memory suddenly evaporate somewhere! And you can't see them. Or maybe it didn’t happen at all? No, they were, they definitely were! On Monday, on the way home, I came up with this!.. I just wish I could remember... And the poor young man has to chew on a pencil, squeeze lemon juice out of himself, fuss, come up with it here and now, after all, he’s already sat down at the table and got ready, he has to write, but freshness no - I forgot everything completely. Everything that is reasonable, kind, eternal, that so excited the soul yesterday before lunch. It's a shame? Still would! That's when you need a notepad.
Get a notebook, I'm serious. And you will be surprised how many interesting and important things you forget! A writer is not a juggler of word forms; a writer is, first of all, a sage, a storehouse of life experience. The notepad will become a serious help in your work, and the next time you sit down to Blank sheet, you will be racking your brains over how to fit on paper all those thoughts that have tightly accumulated in your notebook.
5. Travel.
As you know, creativity requires constant emotional nourishment. Writing without passion, stress, or inspiration is difficult and dreary. However life modern man does not contribute to upliftment, in many ways it is boring and monotonous, and the emotions that it throws up are rarely positive. Therefore, the surest way to save positive charge, shake yourself up, pick up new experiences - this is travel. Many professional authors, who are financially able, often and willingly travel around the world. The same Alexey Pekhov and his wife-co-author, it seems, do not get out of trips at all. And we see the details of their travels (the appearance of distant cities, customs and morals) in their new books.
So the advice is simple: do not deny yourself the pleasure of flying or riding somewhere, it will only benefit your creativity.
6. Observe people.
If you still think that writers come up with all the incredibly bright and living heroes from scratch completely and completely, my deepest condolences to you. They say that Santa Claus does not exist, and life is more inventive than any fantasy. Those images that we are so accustomed to in great literature, which we managed to fall in love with, are most often collective, and almost always the character is based on real personality. Why be surprised? Don’t you really have friends about whom everyone says “at least act in a movie” (or “at least show in a circus”)? I'll never believe it. Usually such people are endowed with bright unusual features, facets of intelligence and character, and behavioral characteristics that not every author would even think of. They are not always eccentrics or noisy jokers; There are also very entertaining quiet people who are always hiding something from everyone. Yes, you never know interesting people! Therefore, do not hesitate to observe interesting people, write them down catchphrases and pearls, in order to then create a brilliant and charismatic image on this basis.
7. Collect interesting stories.
Yes, yes, you will be surprised, but life is also an amazing playwright and sometimes pulls out tricks that you wouldn’t imagine on purpose. Surely something out of the ordinary has happened to you at least once. This happened to other people too. So why not put the real one interesting story the basis of the story? And if she is absolutely stunning, write a novel! Don't let the diamond go to waste! For some this will sound dubious, for some this approach will even seem petty, but many authors do just that. Collect unusual stories other people, are inspired by them and even take them as a basis for their own books.
8. Experiment.
When we first start out on the path to writing, we often don't appreciate it. wonderful time, we are trying to quickly get the hang of it, bring all the small ideas to life and finally sit down to the big form, to something fundamental that you can write for half your life. And we lose precious opportunities to try ourselves in different directions. But we always think: oh, I’ll still have time! And if not? What if tomorrow there’s a contract with a publishing house and then it goes on as usual: one book every six months and a short month for a break? What kind of experiments are there! So, while you are just starting to get comfortable in this forest, do not hesitate to experiment, try yourself in different genres and forms. Do you write fiction? Try a detective story, or turn it into a love story, tragedy, parody. Are you used to building a plot in one line? Aren't there any options? Banding, dot and inversion compositions, temporary s e distortions, you can break it into fragments and mix it up, leave only dialogues or do without them altogether... But who knows, in the end, there are not enough options?! Why are we all in prose, but in prose? Try writing a play. Or the script. Yes, God knows what will come of it, and what side of talent you will unexpectedly discover. But even if it doesn't work out and you end up back where you started, you still have the experience. And he means something in our business.
9. Look in dark areas.
The advice is rather philosophical. Not even advice, but a point of view on creativity and literature in general. The fact is that the essays in writing have existed for more than one thousand years. And during all this time, people have written millions of books, come up with millions of stories. Writers of the past reached such heights of brevity and verbal design, left such examples of epic, drama and lyricism that it is incredibly difficult to equal them and repeat them. It is virtually impossible to surpass. It is possible to climb a mountain once, but to build the same one nearby, and even higher, is unattainable. Therefore, since the beginning of the twentieth century, writers and poets have been moving into areas that previously remained hidden. The literature of the last century (modernism and postmodernism) revealed to us something new, previously unfamiliar - the stream of consciousness, magical realism, intertext, experiments with form and time. Modern authors are in constant search. They search everywhere, sometimes it seems even in the closet. The prose of Burroughs, Limonov, Palahniuk and Bukowski can cause shock, nausea and disgust. But no matter how you treat them, these authors are searching, plowing through unexplored dark areas in search of something new. I encourage you to search too! Look for something of your own, unlike anyone else. Vegetating as an ordinary scribbler in a book series is the path of a galley slave, complete oblivion.
Olga, I don’t want to disappoint you, but apparently I’ll have to.
Is it possible to write a script and then turn it into a novel? Well, no one is stopping you from trying, but, in my feeling, the resulting Frankenstein will be very far from serious literature.
The fact is that long years I myself was an ardent adherent of the idea that literature can be written using screenwriting methods. The entire “Power of Plot” section on the blog is just about this. But the further, the more I write and read myself, the more convinced I am of the opposite. Yes, there are some common points, but in general, literature is one thing, and screenwriting is another. Well, you know that books are always adapted for cinema, volumes are rewritten in short scripts; on the other hand, the script is not sold as an independent product on the bookstore shelf. Read the article “The Death of Structure”, there are my thoughts on this issue.
My advice... My advice is simple: practice more, write stories, read big serious fiction, pay attention to how it is made. And over time, you will understand that literature is much more, it is a completely different degree of freedom. A place where you can write a ten-page description or a sentence on a sheet of paper, where you can write without a main character, without dialogue, without a plot at all. There are no such things in literature rigid framework, familiar to you from screenwriting work. That's the thrill, that's the advantage. But until you realize this freedom, you cannot begin to use it. Dig in this direction.
The profession of a writer seems amazing: a person creates a world, publishes books, and if they seem interesting, then he gets good money. Domestic practice shows that literary creativity- This is more a calling than a profession. In this article we will figure out how to become a writer.
Who is a writer really?
Writer is a person who creates works intended for public consumption. For this type of activity he receives remuneration. Another form of this activity is recognition of a person by the writing community, critics, or receiving other expert assessment.Is it a hobby or profession
The writer must be:- Able to work – between the ideas in your head and the book in the cover there are hours of work. Competent – no proofreader can correct great amount mistakes. Assiduous - the ideas that arise need to be able to present beautifully. To do this, you will have to spend many hours at the computer. Educated - many authors keep diaries in which they write beautiful speeches, sensations, skits, etc. They will need this material for work. Be able to express their thoughts, feelings, mood.
A person who has talent can become a writer. Relevant skills can be developed, a sense of style can be instilled. However, teaching a person to beautifully transfer an idea from his head to paper is very difficult. But probably.
Is it possible to make money from this?
Typically, publishers pay 10% of the cost of a copy, and retailers make a 100% markup. The author receives approximately 5% of the price of the book on the shelf. Beginning writers publish works in the amount of 2-4 thousand copies. If the fee per unit is 10 rubles, then from this quantity you can get 40 thousand rubles. You can also sell books via the Internet, setting the price yourself. All profits received will belong entirely to the author. The circulation will depend on the popularity of the work.How to start a writing career
Writing, like any art form, is built on clear rules. To become a writer and make a living from this activity, you will have to push yourself within deadlines and topics. But first there is a lot of work to be done. 1. Choose a genre and your style A correctly chosen genre means a 100% hit with the target audience. Many authors feel that narrowing their work to one genre will deprive them of potential readers. This thesis does not apply to novice authors. If the latter does not want to define the genre, then it confuses the potential reader, that is, the buyer. The reader wants to purchase a certain product. If in a matter of seconds the author cannot explain what kind of book he created, then the reader will leave without buying. 2. Make at least 10 attempts Both aspiring and successful writers often face the challenge of maintaining their “unique” view of the world. Before reaching the writing Olympus, you need to study what humanity has already chosen. Then the author’s view will become truly original. In trying to ignore the culture of humanity, a writer risks being left alone with his vision. One must constantly write. A lot about everything, try to select Right words. Trying to keep a fresh perspective on literature. The best way to do this is to use wit. In order not to get lost halfway, you need to believe in yourself and your strengths, write as sincerely and well as possible. 3. Analyze the result Try to keep a fresh perspective on literature. This will determine whether the reader wants to study your book and tell others about it. To do this, you need to compare your work with the essay. famous author. This move worked well in communication with the editor. If a person at the first meeting says that he writes in the spirit of Saltykov-Shchedrin, then the publishers understand that this is an author who seeks to create artistic and political satire. Finding style icons is important not only for comparison, but also for further learning.
- Determine which part of the name you want to leave, for example, instead of Alexander - San. Choose a name that matches the genre. For an author in the style of science fiction, initials are more suitable, and for the creator of literary works, “soft” names that will sound beautiful. Come up with a few beautiful nicknames and give yourself time to study each of them. Choose the one you like the most.
- It is not necessary to describe events in chronological order. A writer is a creator! First you can come up with the ending, and then the story itself. The Russian language is very rich. Try to use unexpected metaphors and comparisons when creating works. It is very difficult to keep more than three characters in your head. Therefore it is better to create short description each of them. Names should be chosen that are different from each other, but at the same time characterize the characters. Works with unexpected endings are strongly etched in the memory and evoke a lot of emotions. The finished work should be given to someone to read. If it is not possible to use the services of proofreaders, it is better to give the work to friends and acquaintances, but do it anonymously in order to receive an objective assessment.
How to quickly want to write if your muse has left you
Inspiration can leave anyone. What to do in this case:- Are you worried about some burning question? Try to understand it yourself and help others do the same. Stephen King recommends writing for one ideal reader. It is no coincidence that the books that have come down to us since ancient times are a letter to one person (“To Himself” by M. Aurelius). There are no bad sketches. The writer's task is to polish the text well. The source can be anything. Trust your intuition. Inspiration can strike at any moment. Try to grab onto it and use it to the maximum, and then work with the result. One more nuance: inspiration comes while working. Work at 110%. Write about what interests you personally. Then other people will find something familiar in what is written.
Always develop your literary talent
The author's job is not to create ideas, but to recognize them. There is no Idea Vault or Best Seller Island. Good ideas literally come out of nowhere. The author’s task is to recognize them. When a poet writes, he creates an essay for himself, when he corrects it, he creates it for readers. At this moment it is important to remove everything unnecessary. Then the work will become interesting to other readers. The writer must develop his vocabulary. But by reading. orthographic dictionary It's better to put it on the tool shelf. Stephen King believes that any work can be ruined if you add a bunch of long words to it. The author should express his thoughts quickly and directly. A good description is the key to success. This is an acquired skill that can only be learned by reading and writing a lot. Description is a visualization of an object, characters, objects, which begins with the words of the author and should end in the reader’s imagination.How to become a good children's writer
Creating books for children is a fashionable but difficult activity. A child's perception is not the same as an adult's. They do not need fashionable books, but interesting ones. The poet of children's books bears a great responsibility. There should be no violence, cruelty, or bullying. Children's psyches have not yet been formed, so it is difficult for them to understand irony and sarcasm. Children's author must clearly know the audience. The younger she is, the simpler the stories should be and brighter characters. Children perceive fairy tales well, and older children perceive intricate stories.I want to become a famous writer, how to achieve this
- Make sure you really want to become a writer and are willing to work towards it. Without self-confidence, it will be very difficult to move forward. Read as much as possible. Alternate short stories with serious masterpieces. This will significantly expand your vocabulary. Write a story of 10 pages in 10 days. Use your imagination completely. Start a diary for your future “bestseller” and fill out one page in it every day. It doesn't matter whether it's fiction or documentary. A diary is needed to hone your skills. Present your creations to the general public. You can start promoting your book yourself, via the Internet. Listen to constructive criticism. Make a note for yourself brief abstracts and leave them in a visible place. Try to create real heroes and fall in love with your characters. Write about everything that interests you!
Writing is a job like any other. But many aspiring writers do not understand this; they see an endless flight of creativity. It's a pity, but everything is more prosaic. To become good writer(not brilliant, but really good), you need to do the following:
1. Write every day
The point is to sit down and write every day. fiction(or plays if you are a playwright, or articles if you are a journalist). The benefits are huge. And it's not difficult at all. A friend of mine works as an assistant manager. Every day she writes for 15 minutes before work and 15 minutes during lunch.
You can talk all day about great plots for novels or screenplays, but there is only one way to become a good writer - sit down and write.
2. Keep a diary
A diary is an excellent tool for self-development, not only for writers, but for anyone in general. A diary is a place where you write the truth and only the truth about your life (no one will read it, you can be honest), analyze emotions, and find important decisions. In addition, a writer can always write down any idea that comes to him in a diary and practice writing.
3. Learn from everything without exception.
When something “bad” happens in life, it really is great lesson. Ask yourself how you would experience this event a second time, and then use it - create a scene based on it, for example. We all have tragedies in our lives, but a good writer will find something to do with them.
4. Shut up your inner critic
The critic's voice in your head starts to scream as soon as you sit down to write. “This is nonsense!” shouts the critic. “No one will read this!” the critic bursts out. Don't listen to him. He will strangle your creative potential, if you let him. Shut him up. And don’t judge yourself too harshly - you’re just learning.
5. Read as much as you can
Read books that you yourself would like to write. Read books that move you. Read books you can't put down. And when you read, learn from writers. Even your idols, who became popular a long time ago, have weak points in their books. When you find something like this, ask yourself: how could I improve this?
6. Embrace outside criticism and rejection.
Understand that all art is subjective. Rejection means you've definitely been noticed, which is great. So many talented writers don’t show their work to anyone because they’re afraid of getting rejected! Make a collage of these rejections and be proud of them. Every failure is an attempt. And trying is much more than many people do.
7. Try new things
Learn new things, get involved in new things, visit new places. Look at the world from as many angles as you can. New events, places, people, cultures - all this will inspire new stories. To become a good writer, you need to look at the world.
8. Pay attention to everything about writing.
TV shows, movies, even emails and social media posts all teach you how to write. What do you think of the Game of Thrones script? Or have you noticed a bunch grammatical errors in a friend's message? Are there ways to structure your employee newsletter? And so on.
9. Always look for where to grow
Never think that you have achieved perfection. A good writer, regardless of level and status, always learns something.
10. Listen to other writers
One way to grow is through writing courses, reading books and blogs about writing, posts from your favorite writers on social networks, and so on.
11. Challenge yourself
Don't tell yourself you can't do something: for example, write science fiction or write a novel in a month. Challenge yourself, preferably more than once.
12. Learn from other arts
Go to museums, concerts, cinemas, theaters. Always look for new sources of inspiration to become a better writer. At the same time you will get to know creative people other professions. You never know whether a drawing, photograph, song or film will inspire your next story.
13. Follow your obsessions
Write what you want to write, not what your friends, parents, or mentors expect you to write. You shouldn’t write just because people will buy it or publishers want it. Write about what you are passionate about. Write about what you love. Write stories that you yourself would like to read.
14. Appreciate your own style
Don't compare yourself to other writers. Don't try to be like Stephen King or J.K. Rowling. Each person has his own unique experience, his own view of the world. No two writers tell the same stories. Find stories that only you can tell and write.
In fact, to become a writer, all you have to do is write. But there is another piece of advice: don’t give out yours to everyone. Business Cards and advertise your name. For example, he is a famous writer, he creates exciting books, one of which is journalistic work"Extraordinary: A Success Story." In it, Malcolm talks about the so-called 10,000 hour rule. Simply put, he noted that everyone successful people What they have in common is that each of them devoted more than 10,000 hours to their work. Therefore, devoting an hour or two a day writing career, you are unlikely to see your creation on the lists of the most exciting bestsellers of the year. But how do they become writers? This article is dedicated to this topic.
Of course, it's not just the number of hours you spend writing that matters, it's also about having some basic skills and then constantly improving them. You must be able to correctly express your thoughts, and do it vividly, so that the plot and character of the work are interesting. Remember that erudition and observation are your best friends.
After you've studied all sorts of articles on the topic of "how to become a writer," or before you start writing a future bestseller, you need to find source material accordingly. In any case, it is better to write about familiar topics, about what you are familiar with. Immediately get used to the fact that you will have to read a lot of literature, study new information, spend a lot of time collecting material. Without this, your future book may turn out to be chaotic, and the reader most likely will not catch the very idea that you tried to convey to him with your work.
Imagine that you are writing an article, only a very long one. Systematize everything you do, work in a way that suits you. But at the same time, remember that you can’t just say three words “I want to become a writer” and immediately find yourself the owner literary prize "Golden feather Rus'." You definitely need to work, try, study the works of other writers, constantly develop your powers of observation and individuality. Unique books become bestsellers, the best in their genre, which have something that is not in others, so develop your own style, your own handwriting.
Having written a work, there is no need to rush to submit it to the publishing house. Re-read the text several times, edit it, bring it to what you think is an ideal state, and only when you are absolutely sure that this creation is ready to “go out into the world”, submit it for printing.
It's spelled something like this good book. But we still haven’t answered the question of how writers become. We only explained the process itself. How do you become writers? In fact, there is no specific secret that will help you write gripping mysteries or heart-wrenching novels in a matter of days. Everything takes time and the right approach, everything is only in your hands. Therefore, stock up on patience, relevant literature, positive emotions and start working, so you can definitely become a modern James Joyce or JK Rowling.
There is only one path for your own development as a writer. Advancement to Olympus of glory and honor depends only on perseverance, constant self-development and hard work.

The main requirement in order to become a children's writer is love for children and boundless imagination. Often, loving parents who write their own fairy tales for their beloved children become famous children's writers.
