How to collect and sort out data?

The modern network is more and more developed, and all kinds of information are pouring in. People are getting busier and more anxious. Many people have no patience to read the whole article, but others like to read stories, which can attract people's attention well.

When you want to express an idea, people can understand what you want to express at once through a related story, so telling stories is more popular than simply reasoning. Each article needs 3-4 stories, which requires us to constantly collect and sort out materials in our lives so that we can find them quickly when writing articles.

Similarly, every article needs a good golden sentence, a good golden sentence, in order to make the finishing point. Today I'm going to talk about how to collect and organize materials.

Material collection ※

Collecting materials is to record what you see, feel, hear and think in your life in time. Maybe not now, but it will be used in the future. This requires us to always use our brains and eyes to discover things in life. There are many methods of collection, and the most commonly used ones are as follows.

First, collect from books. Reading breaks thousands of volumes, and writing is like a god. Reading has many benefits, especially for writers. It is an indispensable source of material and a good way to improve writing ability. Reading can not only improve cognition, knowledge and thinking, but also improve writing.

There are many stories and golden sentences in the book. Nowadays, many authors write book reviews, and sometimes a book can write several book reviews, all of which are caused by stories or golden sentences in the text. Most of our articles are collected from books.

So what books do we usually read? All the books I read are recommended by teachers, and they are told by reading clubs. These books have a good reputation and help me a lot. There are reference books, story books, classics and inspirational books. In short, read more influential books and valuable books.

The most important thing is to record the golden sentences and stories in the book and some good descriptions at any time.

Collected from film and television dramas. Some people like watching movies and TV plays. Watching movies and TV plays used to be a waste of time. It's different now. Many writers can write several articles in a movie or TV series.

Some people write film reviews and drama reviews. If you don't write film reviews and drama reviews, some stories and golden sentences in TV dramas or movies are also worth collecting.

The stories of characters in film and television dramas, as well as the stories of film and television dramas themselves, actors and directors. When we watch a play, we can't just watch the excitement as before. We must prepare pens and paper. Every day, I will see many official WeChat accounts and write the hottest articles in TV series.

Collected from the chat of friends and colleagues. We have to communicate with people every day, so every word and deed is memorable? Is there anything meaningful? Or did what they said move you? Let you have a lot of ideas, or a story told by friends and colleagues.

Whether it is an idea story or your own feelings, you should record it immediately. I was chatting with my friend before, and she told me why I got divorced. Later, I wrote a story about domestic violence based on her.

4. Life or travel experience. Sometimes we walk on the road and see some phenomena, such as where there are many people, what are people doing? You can also analyze the reasons and write an opinion article. Whether it is traffic rules or business, even if you see a quarrel, don't just watch it. Listen, feel and record it with your heart.

Many people write articles about travel and record what they see and hear.

Be careful to record it in time, or you will soon forget it, and you can't remember it when you turn your head.

5. Collect from WeChat. The mobile phone is the one we use the most. Every day, people in our WeChat group send all kinds of messages, including advertisements, WeChat commercial products and inspirational language. For example, you can learn about WeChat business and write an article about the industry in WeChat business; What are those inspirational people doing every day? We can also write an article about how successful people are.

People chat in the WeChat group every day, and their topics can also be used as material. Some time ago, I saw in a WeChat group that everyone was talking about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, telling all kinds of anecdotes about mother-in-law, and then I wrote a story based on this material.

Sixth, collect other people's articles. Various official WeChat accounts send articles every day. Why do those explosive articles become explosive articles? There are some golden sentences and stories worth collecting. Even if it is not an explosive article, which sentence or story in someone else's article attracts you? You can also write down your feelings or feelings.

The source of the golden sentence must be explained. If a celebrity said it, write who said it. If it is said by the author in the article you are reading, be sure to write the author's name when quoting later.

Seven, collected from major news websites. Most news stories are true stories. If it is an inspirational story, you can boldly learn from it. If it is a bad story, you can learn from it appropriately and remove the real name and specific details.

Eight, Weibo headlines Weibo and headlines have many personal stories, star stories, strange, mixed and dazzling, which are good materials for us to write gossip.

Nine, user comments. The so-called master is in the folk, whether it is other people's articles and stories, or Weibo, WeChat, news, there are many comments from netizens. Some of the comments in the back tell their own stories, and some are views and opinions on the event, which are all good materials. You can add "netizen said" when using it.

Ten, your own story. Writing your own story is the most emotional and touching. What have we experienced since childhood? What do you see? How do you feel? In retrospect, the bits and pieces in life often become good materials.

Material arrangement ※

The materials were collected and jumbled in the notes. If you don't tidy up, you won't find the article. The arrangement of materials is to put the materials we collected in different folders for easy search. Folders can be roughly divided into the following categories.

In short, writing is a long-term accumulation, and you can't wait until the water boils to find food. Be sure to carry a pen and paper with you, use a mobile phone memo or cloud notes, or other notes that you think are useful. The most important thing is to record it in time.
