Psychologist Andrey Kashkarov explained how to discipline yourself in the creative process
To achieve something, you need to act. Sometimes persistently and for a long time improving and denying yourself something. The result will definitely happen sooner or later.
However, the result in the creative process, as in the cultural paradigm in general, comes inertly and conditionally. Because creativity and the "conveyor" are antagonisms. Except for one direction, perhaps, worthy of attention.
From the history of literature we know many talented and prolific – as they are called – writers who worked in the epistolary genre a lot and persistently.
To speak of them as graphomaniacs is utter nonsense, because even an analysis of this phrase, which has two “talking” roots, shows that the very concept of “graphomaniac” does not carry any negative semantic load or connotation, notes psychologist Andrei Kashkarov .
It is also advisable to understand that each person has their own creative style, and its manifestations may be different. For example, they are determined even in how you wear glasses, headwear or choose your wardrobe. There are people with similar styles, but it is difficult to find exactly the same ones.
In the field of literature, there is an understanding of talent as the sister of brevity (the opinion of A.P. Chekhov), and the epistolary legacy of the representative of the "village prose" movement, Vladimir Alekseevich Soloukhin. This writer is known in the writers' community as a pedant, whose style is excessively explaining everything. Moreover, both of them left the world a huge literary legacy, which is still being rethought. It is incorrect to subjectively assess whose is better, but it is known for certain that Chekhov lived 44 years, and Soloukhin - 72.
Emile Zola is known, among other things, for the famous phrase Nulla dies sine linea ("not a day without a line"), and the phrase itself became the title of a book of memoirs and observations by the writer Yuri Olesha. There is a grain of wisdom in this approach for a writer, because "to write, one must write."
Moreover, in this case, the systemic nature of any activities is of great benefit, and literary activities are no exception. Everything is achieved through training, and the more often – the better. The analyst only improves his qualifications from the constant study of the dynamics of the development of the field and industry, as a result developing his own opinion for comments and recommendations on the topic. The same applies to almost all creative processes in one way or another.
Regularity and consistency of classes together with another important component of success - planning - is a really good means for improving skills. A suitable and appropriate opportunity to improve skills is provided, among other things, by the news portals "Belnovosti" and "TUT-NEWS": by forming an information agenda in all areas of knowledge, creating and commenting on news items, such Internet systems indirectly serve for the constant training of the authors of their expert pool, and such training not only disciplines, but also leads to quite logical and tangible results. Knowledge is obtained, rethought, supplemented, corrected and... books on the topic are obtained.
Thus, news portals, including those given as an example, of course have both direct and implicit benefits for their employees and authors.
