First of all, I feel that when I first started writing history, I was not afraid of what others said. People may laugh at how bad your writing is, but if it is unwise to bang on the keyboard in a rage at this time, we can find our own shortcomings from the voice of criticism, such as critics questioning your mistakes at this age and voicing how bad your writing is. What we should do is to change what is available and encourage what is not available. Slowly, you will find that criticism gradually decreases and praise gradually increases. This is progress.
Secondly, history should have its own ideas, and remember not to copy historical materials.
This article I wrote is an article about Yang Xingfo, a major assassination case in the history of the Republic of China, with a good click-through rate. In fact, if you think about it, it's actually very simple. First of all, when writing history, you must refer to a lot of literature and history. To deeply understand the life and experience of historical figures, we must choose the highlights of the article and describe them like white water. In the article, the title is on the one hand, the description of important details, and the deep description of the characters' hearts. Your article will be very popular in this way.
The angle of writing history must be novel, and historical figures can write from another angle.
For example, in Lv Hou's articles, people know that Lv Zhi is a vicious image, but few people write why Lv Hou has become like this. If you write about Lv Hou's psychological dilemma, it will be a unique and novel article. I wrote this article around Lv Hou's tragic experience, such as her two imprisonment, such as her unfortunate life and desperate experience, and the title is novel, so this article is not bad in the headlines.
It should also be noted that different writing platforms have different writing styles, so we should grasp the style of each writing platform.
For example, when we are writing an article, your article has a popular title, which may have a mediocre response on the Internet, but it may be wrong on Tianya Forum. Each platform has its own style. What we have to do is to keep exploring, find the rules and find out what style of writing is popular on the platform, and your article will naturally progress slowly. The click-through rate will also come up slowly.
Courage to contribute to academic journals will improve your level.
At the beginning of writing, I have been contributing to my favorite historical magazine. The name of the magazine is Looking at History. This magazine is great. It is one of the most famous historical magazines in China. The contributors are all historical experts or scholars. Every time I read Looking at History, I like the articles in it very much. I tried to imitate their style and began to write some profound historical articles. I started to contribute and read history magazines crazily, but I failed every time. No reply, no reply, looking at the mailbox full of articles submitted, I am very lost.
After all, I am not a history major, so I began to deny myself and fell into deep doubt. After nearly a month, I began to contribute again, because I have always had that spirit. I don't think there is a professional distinction in history. As long as you love, as long as you have ideas, every historical figure is your material.
When I voted for article 100, I opened QQ one day and found a friend applying. Inadvertently glanced at it and found that it was Mr. Wu, editor-in-chief of Looking at History magazine. After the application was approved, she affirmed my writing style and said that she could try to write a historical anecdote. I am very excited. Really, I thought it was a lie at first. I leafed through the magazine and saw the contact information of the contributing editor. I carefully checked this person's QQ, and he is really the editor of Looking at History.
I seem to be grasping at straws because this is my dream. I listened to the advice of editor Wu in detail and began to write an article about Cai Yuanpei's marriage advertisement. It can be said that I racked my brains to write, repeatedly read Cai Yuanpei's materials, and carefully tried to figure out the relationship and highlights. That is an article that I have revised no less than 20 times.
When I sent it to editor Wu, my heart was pounding. One day later, editor Wu sent me an email and officially hired my article. At that moment, I felt I had succeeded. My level has also improved.
Stick to it for a long time and you will be affirmed slowly.
Later, when you write better and better, you will naturally be recognized by the society. In May of this year, I got the offer of Sohu History Channel and became the content guidance consultant of Sohu History Channel. Also began to write columns in China Economic Net, China Advertising Museum, Sohu and Guangming. Later, he also published books in cooperation with some famous writers. These advances have been accumulated for a long time. So, my friends, don't worry too much. Just believe that you will succeed and keep writing.
