# Daily writing *Day 1* By [FunFun](https://paragraph.com/@funfun) · 2025-02-08 practice, writing --- The origin of my writing I've wanted to write since a long, long time ago, not because I wanted to write, but because I was in a group with a big brother who suggested that all the students in the group needed to learn how to write, saying that writing was about everyone's future, and that it was one of the few tools that allowed ordinary people to turn their lives around. Hearing him say that made me anxious, and I felt like I had to learn this skill. But where to start? At the time, I attended a writing class run by Big Brother, followed by a writing camp. Neither the class nor the subsequent practice made much sense to me at the time. Then there was constant anxiety in my mind about trying to write on my own, but without a supervised environment, I couldn't keep it up on my own within a few days. Then joined a writing day punch card camp, in the entry of the camp charged a small fee, no supervision after entering the camp, rely on their own every day to post the article to the group, the group encourages each other to supervise, about one month to adhere to, every day always thinking about what to write? Pay attention to what happens in life. Once when I was writing an article, I felt as if my head was cracking open, and I wrote a lot at once when I couldn't write at all. During that month, it was like I found the feeling and rhythm of writing. But in the end, I gave up because I didn't know what to write about, and it seemed like I had written it all, and there was no hard and fast rule to monitor it. “Writing has been on my mind ever since. It's like a basket that I've always wanted to bring up but never have. After many attempts, I often wonder about the matter of my writing, and I think the reason why I can't write all the time is that I can't stick to it. In my spare time, I also learn a lot of things, such as English, piano and badminton. I've been learning English for five years, and now I can have a relatively silky conversation with foreigners. I've been learning piano for two years, and now I can play the piano by looking at the five lines of music. I've been learning badminton for four years, and my movements are very standardized. These skills can insist on learning, the beginning is to find a teacher first one-on-one with. With the teacher's supervision, I just follow without brain and pain, put myself in this learning framework, do not have to spend half of the willpower. Based on this experience, I got a teacher to teach me to write one-on-one last year. Soon after I started, though, I realized that the teacher's philosophy differed from mine, and that I didn't really fit into the style the teacher was pushing. So I broke up peacefully in the middle of the process, and luckily the teacher was nice enough to refund me my money. After all the ups and downs in my writing journey, here comes 2025. As it happens, I came across a book called “Card Note Writing”. It's been lying in my “big bookcase” for a long time. I bought it on impulse, but didn't have the patience to read it. Just flipping through a few pages, but there were still some concepts ingrained in me that I was just ignorant enough to accept that “writing is a bottom-up process.” “Writing is a workflow.” It wasn't, as I had always thought, a one-time write from the head. The “seed” was planted in my heart, but there was more out there that appealed to me, and I didn't have the patience to go any further. In the past few days, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, I picked up this book and began to savor it. The more I read, the more I realize that my problem of “not being able to write” may be saved by this method. The problem with my writing is most likely due to my perception of writing from the very beginning. If writing is a workflow of recording and organizing thoughts or thinking. Get each step in that process right, and in the end the essay is just the result of that series of steps. Previously, my own steps were completely reversed, so of course I couldn't write. I decided to practice the method in the book as I read it. In addition, I also think that this method may be able to solve another embarrassment, that is, reading “a bunch of books, but nothing left in my head”. When it came time to say or write, I couldn't use a single sentence. At this point I was ambitious and determined to get this book, but I was still worried, “Will I be able to stick with it?” , the book was not that accessible, and digesting only one side a day was a test of my patience. At this time, I came across another person, on New Year's Eve, brushing the public number article, I saw “Shan Shan town” “daily writing” recruitment, 99 months a month to complete the card can be refunded, the number of words in the article of 300 words or more. I'm a member of a study group that requires me to write 300 words a day, so it's easy for me to write 300 words. The content of the article can choose to recommend, you can also choose your own theme. This setup, with its light task, flexibility and freedom and some supervision, suits me well. Try to digest the book in this writing framework. Just give it a try. I have a trick of my own for learning things... first I hack and slash like Zhang Fei . This is similar to what Shan said in the opening ceremony of the camp, “Write first,” but I'm being a bit harsh. OK， let's start my writing journey ! --- *Originally published on [FunFun](https://paragraph.com/@funfun/daily-writing)*
