“I also want to create, but I just don’t know where to start and my mind is in a mess.” This is probably the same feeling that many of our friends have about writing! The reason is that not having "creative inspiration" is an important factor, and having "inspiration" and not being able to grasp it well is an even more important factor.

The so-called "inspiration" is the creative ability that suddenly flashes in the mind when thoughts are highly concentrated and emotions are high. With inspiration, thoughts will extend in all directions, you can find sources from both sides like divine help, your imagination will be active and rich, your strong desire to write will burst out, and you will have a creative impulse that makes people impatient.

Literature is a kind of creation, and inspiration is a wonderful realm of creation. It is the source and foundation of creation. If a person who is willing to grasp it well, it is likely that a good work will be born in the literary world. Maybe The creative journey begins from here. Of course, not everyone can get "inspiration" all the time. Only by paying attention to life, understanding life, accumulating over time, and having rich social and life heritage, and even knowledge heritage, can inspiration flash.

Although inspiration is wonderful, it also has its characteristics to follow. The author would like to share some personal insights.

1. Integrability. As the great writer Wang Meng said: "Inspiration is a kind of aura and understanding that floats above the general rational level and experience level after the combination of life experience, emotional experience, social experience, life experience and other experiences." Obviously, inspiration is It depends on accumulation. Pay more attention to life and society, and wonderful inspiration will no longer be far away.

2. Occasionality. When inspiration comes, no one can realize it. When you walk, when you meditate, when you read, when you listen to the rain, inspiration may come at any time. When inspiration comes, things that are usually incomprehensible will be solved in an instant. I clearly remember the night before I created "Two Yuan". I was lying in bed, thinking all over the world, and inspiration came to me in an instant. My mind suddenly broadened. The middle-aged woman in the painting is frozen in the moment of inspiration, and her creative passion is as powerful as a rushing river. The letter is written clearly and clearly. It is true that there is also a rich social life as a foundation. It is impossible, I think, to write a decent work based solely on "inspiration".

3. Transience. The arrival of inspiration is as fleeting as opportunity, even faster than opportunity. It comes suddenly and is fleeting. Therefore, we must be good at capturing inspiration. Eliminate external interference and make your energy highly concentrated. When inspiration comes, you must immediately stop other thoughts, run your brain at high speed, and try to adjust your psychology to an optimal state. This can sometimes make the inspiration stay for a moment longer. Quickly record feedback on the information in your inspiration. Create accordingly. On the contrary, if you are not careful, inspiration will escape without a trace like a ghost. When I create again, I lose the aura and understanding. Articles naturally cannot “live”. How to talk about "high-quality products".

4. Companionship. That is to say, inspiration often flashes with some kind of inspiration or induction. Flash forward with the impulse of creation. With inspiration comes creative impulse, and with creative impulse, inspiration is the easiest to generate. Often the two are interpenetrated. Therefore, we must practice writing diligently and stimulate interest. Over time, if you have creative impulse or passion, inspiration will become easier to obtain.

5. Creativity. Once inspiration emerges, it will produce an unexpected effect. Wonderful conception, meticulous characterization, vivid metaphors, vivid contrasts, gripping suspense, and fresh language all come to mind. How else would Qian Xuesen call it "creative thinking"? Pushkin once said: "At the moment of inspiration, my works that have been passed down for centuries are completed in one stroke."

In short, we must be brave in creation, be good at observation, feel with heart, and be good at capturing inspiration. Seize inspiration.

With inspiration, there is passion for creation. With passion and inspiration, can't we still create excellent works?
