How To Write Procedure

    View: 


As a student of Spanish, my goal was to think in Spanish. Skip



the word-by-word translation so I'd have the necessary speed to

speak and listen. I know words in Spanish that I'd be hard

pressed to translate. Usually profanity, I confess. Chingow!

For years my students here in China have studied grammar, and

know it better than you or I. They read. They write. But

speaking involves moving faster than that. In conversation, we

don't have time to write it first and make sure it's all

grammatically flawless, then read it aloud, perhaps after a bit

of rehearsal.

So, I try to give them a chance to practice putting words

together on the fly, rules be damned. The rules they've

internalized will kick in and keep them comprehensible, which

will build their confidence in their ability to keep creating

conversation that way.

This is not unlike what we go through as authors. First we study

rulebooks, perhaps take some classes, and conclude just about

everything we're is doing is wrong. So many rules to memorize.

We might dread sitting down to write with all those constraints.

But really, it's not about memorizing rules at all. It's about

internalizing the rules, following them (or not if you prefer)

without being consciously aware of what they are. They're there,

but in the background.

The story's what matters. You're supposed to be having fun, not

"working." At least not during the creation phase.

We don't always take the time to say, "I've written ten active

sentences in a row so maybe I'll whip in a passive one now" or

"I need a beat for every X lines of dialogue." I published four

novels and edited dozens more before I learned what a beat was.

(It's a pause so the reader can catch his/her breath.)

And, of course, since it is writing and not speaking, we can

always go back and revise later. Then rely on editors to

catch what we missed, or at least make us wonder why we wrote

it this way instead of that way.

Some authors aren't even consciously aware of "the rules."

They've never taken a class, never read a book about writing.

They're simply avid readers who one day decided to write. But

they've internalized the rules as well. It comes from reading.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you want to write,

you must read. If you don't like reading, maybe writing isn't

for you. It's not about writing because you want to say, "I am a

writer." It's about writing because you enjoy writing.

And, it's really nice when you've been writing for a long time

to go back and read a book about how to write. You might find

one or two things to tweak in your technique, as opposed to a

daunting laundry list of flaws. It's much easier to internalize

one or two new rules than 50 or 100!
