Writing is one of the talents that need to be developed through study, reading, and the continuity of writing, and many have this beautiful talent, but they do not give it its right. Their pens are lost among the pens. Because their style is not distinguished, and because they are not unique in a style that attracts readers, for example the literary arena is crowded with science fiction stories by young writers, but it did not succeed as the work of Dr. Nabil Farouk, for example, and the reason is simply that the writer did not care to have his unique style that is not similar in his phrases And his analogies and narration by someone, for example we find “the impossible man” in the story of a young man who is “the conqueror of difficulties,” and some phrases are almost quoted, and if it were not for our awareness of the goodwill of the writer, we would have said: It is stolen, so the reader feels that he is reading a copied work mangled in a frame of a duplicate; Style seems boring; The reader becomes alienated.
How can a writer have a distinct style of writing?
First: To diversify his readings, and to read to more than one writer, there is no doubt that each of us has a favorite writer who loves to read his books, but the writer must diversify what he reads. So that it is not an unacceptable copy of a writer, as many fall into the trap of an unintended quote, so do not ever think that an expression used by others will adorn your literary work, but rather it will give the reader the impression that this writer is poor in talent and cannot be creative. So resort to quoting a lot, and the picture inside you must have expressions stemming from yourself, you see it as you wish and draw it with words, and if the reader sees it through your words, you have succeeded in communicating your message, for example when Naguib Mahfouz saw a child selling sweets at a traffic light, translated Picture into words, so he wrote: "Children's dreams are a piece of candy, and this is a child who sells his dream."
Second: To get out of the tight circle in which he confines his talent, and if he writes poetry, let him experiment with prose and thoughts, and with this he unleashes his imagination. To expand his imagination, and dive into seas that dislodge him from the mold in which he traps his talent, and this is a way of bittersweet.
Third: Continuity, even if only two lines per day, as that writing is a talent that needs practice like sport, and that the writer should not abandon it so that you will not abandon him.
Fourth: Familiarity with the basics of language and syntax. Grammatical and linguistic errors distract the reader from the text, and thus make him lose enjoyment of the written material.
Fifth: writing for the pleasure of writing only, do not write unless you feel that you have a message inside you that you want to convey, only when you feel that words are clumping inside you, and your hand is looking for a pen, so do not be like those who are looking for quantity and not quality, perhaps one literary work will remain and immortalize The name of its writer.
Sixth: Do not take into account the critics or ignore them. In order to eliminate the stereotyping of literary works, write the image you see as you see it, but do not forget the basics and the main elements of each literary work.
Seventh: The moderation between enjoyment and persuasion, if the writer focuses on enjoyment without convincing the reader, the reader will get bored of the work, and the opposite is quite true. For example, some realistic social stories are completely convincing, but there is no pleasure in them when recounting classic repeated events, in which the element of persuasion dominates the element of enjoyment ; The reader gets bored.
Eighth: Adherence to academic language in writing. It remains and is fixed, and what is below it changes.
