现在是食尸鬼横行的季节, 小妖精, 和鬼魂, I have been thinking about the use of fear in creative writing and literature.

说生物, fear is our emotional response to a detected threat, 直到我们找到安全的地方. Because of our intense instinct for self-preservation, we are afraid of that which may pose a danger to our health. This is what I shall dub “selfish fear”: the base survival instinct experienced by even the lowest forms of animal life.

Even if you don’t plan to become a professional writer, learning to write well sets you apart as a communicator across all professions. Small tweaks elevate good writing into great writing, especially when you’re given limited space to convey your ideas: 250 characters, 5页, 或者只是一个容易分心的读者.

A writing buddy is exactly what it sounds like—a person with whom you share writing ideas and goals, 交换草稿和反馈, 对写作上的挫折表示同情, 庆祝写作的成功. A good writing buddy is like this incredible hybrid of colleague and best friend: they hold you accountable to your writing goals, but they’re also there to encourage you over a cup of coffee when you fail.

还记得写作是件有趣的事吗? What ever happened to those creative writing assignments, to writing stories and poems on construction paper with crayons? There was no “wrong” way to invent a character or silly scenario—back then, writing was pure joy!

The common neo-Aristotelean method of rhetorical criticism examines three aspects of rhetoric: Logos (appeal to logic), 精神(诉诸信誉), 和pathos(诉诸情感). Aristotle found ethos to be the most important of the three. To promote ethos, authors should cite credible sources.

Are you staring at a blank screen, unsure how to start your paper? 提纲是有帮助的! The key to efficiently writing a first draft is preparation beforehand. 对我来说, it is much easier to figure out how I will say my ideas once I have figured out what those ideas will be.

Rain and wind slapped against the side of my friend’s house. It was an old, creaky house in the northeast, and thunder shook the walls. 不过，我和我的朋友并不介意. Nestled on a worn couch in the small den, we relished in the solace of that poorly lit, cramped space—a comfort amidst the storm understood only by people who have lived in cold, 下雨的地方. A shared sense of victory, too, enflamed our spirits. 期末考试周就要结束了. I had only had one task remaining—to pen the last paragraph of my final essay.

The first words of an essay can be torture to write. With no clear idea as to the direction of the paper, 失意的作家会挣扎, 要么写一篇短文, 含糊的介绍还是长篇大论, 散漫的人. 这两种结果都不可取. 介绍必须是健壮的, both an engaging hook to get the audience invested as well as a successful preview of the essay's main points and thesis. 然而, it is often difficult to write a successful introduction until you know exactly what your body paragraphs will cover. This problem may be frustrating for those who write linearly (that is, 从头到尾都是笔直的). Breaking the habit of writing linearly may be the first step in writing a better paper.
