It’s Honest Relationship Creation Practice Notebook feat. Zhang Xi [Deluxe Group]

——This is a handbook about honesty and writing—— in writing and reading Get closer to yourself every day A strong tree grows from a small seed; A soft and strong heart requires conscious and honest searching within for many years. Seeds are irrigated with rainwater, and honest searching can be found through writing. Write down one by one your daily true desires and needs, life's lack and pain, and even your short-term happiness and permanent happiness. Zhang Xi, the most influential Chinese writer, designed a series of writing techniques and questions under the theme of "Honest Writing", and through the use of practice props, he shared with you how to sort out daily observations into creative inspiration. See different perspectives and enjoy the self-dialogue brought by every writing. ★ Six features of an unprecedented Chinese writing practice notebook 1. 12 writing exercises Practice is not for perfect writing, but for long-term writing. This 365-day diary collects 12 writing practice methods that Zhang Xi frequently uses when creating. Through careful and ingenious design and arrangement, it will help you who often can't find a topic to write about or who can't expand your imagination when writing. You can practice writing continuously and without the pressure of climbing a grid, and find the magic of writing in your daily life, getting closer to words and a little closer to yourself. This notebook is not a writing teaching manual, but through exercises such as reminders, keywords, substitutions, observations, etc., you can find the meaning of writing to yourself through exercises such as reminders, keywords, substitutions, observations, etc. - each month focuses on a writing skill, and each week An extended small exercise, with a whole page available every day, allowing you to control your life and create yourself through words through continuous practice. In January, with the theme of "Honesty Focus 1: This is how life is", we practice actively paying attention to the various small revelations or discoveries that emerge in our daily lives, so that these have the opportunity to become seeds that germinate at different stages of life. , Zhang Xi will also give examples of daily inspirations that are meaningful to her and demonstrate them personally. Through the life of January, we practice how to find things with impressions and feelings from ordinary days. The exercises in January will also intersect with other months to connect different fragments of our lives. During the exercises on January 2, 4, and 9, just look for the questions and record the "smells you have smelled/the food you have eaten/the sentences you have read that have feelings" in these days, and use them to connect 3 small things related to the past in the memory drawer and write them down. The focus of each exercise is to "be honest with yourself" - to question yourself repeatedly before writing, to consider the words and sentences when writing, and to chew and ruminate again after writing. After a while, you will find that every paragraph of text is the trajectory of life. And in the process of irrigating yourself, you have grown a big tree that faces yourself honestly. 2. Inspiration irrigation card Follow the guidance of keywords and let your thoughts flow Sometimes when we pick up the pen, our mind goes blank and we don’t know what to write. "Inspiration Irrigation Card" is an important auxiliary tool to open the door of writing for you. A keyword, coupled with the guidance of sentences and images, may allow you to embark on an interesting text journey and write until you forget yourself. [Card Image Design Concept] A seed on the front symbolizes inspiration waiting to bloom; On the back there is: • Keywords • Number─Corresponding sticker image • Moving sentences from Zhang Xi’s published works How to use the Inspiration Irrigation Card: • Extract keywords: Choose a card, use the keywords on the card as the starting point, and extend various situations from your own life experience or memory drawer. • Extract numbers: Find the number corresponding to any "written nutrition sticker", and the image in the sticker can be used as a sentence associated with the keyword. • Reading and copying: Carefully chew the sentences on the cards as a reference for creation; you can also copy these sentences to find the sentence that you feel. In ordinary times, you can also use the content on the cards as a guide to life and enjoy the fun brought by words. • Fill in the blanks and replace words: Think about which words can fill in the dotted fields on the cards to create sentences that are meaningful to you. 3. Write oxygen content stickers Zhang Xi’s hand-drawn inspirational props and life decorations This set of stickers is hand-drawn by Zhang Xi and comes from daily creative inspiration. It uses four different themes of "life scenes/food objects/seasonal sequences/people" to help you find the direction of writing faster. In addition to using it in your creative notebook, you can also stick it wherever you like as a decoration in your life. The writing nutrient stickers and inspiration irrigation cards will accompany you for daily practice. There are many questions in the notebook that need to be completed with this set of practice props. In addition, when you want to write something but have no inspiration, you can also use it like this: STEP1. Pull out a small card at random and write down the keywords in your notebook. STEP2. Compare the numbers on the small card and the sticker, tear off the sticker, and stick it next to the keyword. STEP3. Combine the elements you see on the card and sticker. Write a paragraph, a short poem, or a short essay. 4. Book cover design Make rubbings and colors to show your own style and creativity, and record traces of use naturally. The design of the notebook cover uses "seed" as the main element, echoing the content of daily writing - each day gradually grows into itself in the process of honest writing, just like a seed growing under irrigation, and finally blooming into something beautiful. Flowers, even if the flowers wither, the trees have taken root and are already providing shade. The cover of "It's an Honest Relationship" creative practice notebook is made of thickened white card with inner paper, which symbolizes "face yourself with the purest color"; and the different levels of embossing and concave post-processing will change with each day.

Double storage design Take all your creative tools with you at once "It's an Honest Relationship" is an unprecedented attempt to create and practice writing. It combines fun and useful content, hoping that everyone who loves words can find opportunities to write in their daily lives. In order to allow everyone to capture all kinds of fleeting inspiration at any time, the team adopted a pocket storage structure in the design, integrating cards, stickers and notebooks to create a set of creative tools that can be taken anywhere and anytime. . 6.

The notebook can be spread out 180 degrees, so you don't get stuck if you want to write across two pages, allowing inspiration to come to the page without restriction; and removing the outer back of the book also makes the notebook easier to read.

Contains light laboratory Use smell to imagine writing space There are too many distractions in life, which can easily disrupt our thoughts and prevent us from focusing on our hearts. If we can let the brain know that it is time to create through specially arranged time and environment, it will help us eliminate distractions in our thoughts and focus more on writing in the moment. The "Smell of Writing" scented candle gift box is based on this idea. [Cut open flower stem] is the scent concept jointly designed by Yanyan and Zhang Xi for the "It's an Honest Relationship" fund-raising project. Inspired by the flower stems of bulbous plants that have not yet bloomed, cut them open, and the smell wrapped in fresh flower stems is the original fragrance of flowers and fragrances before they bloom, and is also the true posture of flowers before their fragrance can be used as a communication language. . "As for the smell of reading, if you smell something calm and not too romantic, you will be able to concentrate more and get into the story. In my imagination, it should be more woody, not too light, floral or fruity. I think I smell it when I'm reading. Easily distracted." - Zhang Xi Based on Zhang Xi's imagination of the smell of reading, the perfumer abandoned the flamboyant scent expression and created this scented candle suitable for writing and reading. You can regard it as part of your writing tools. Light the candle before each writing, and feel the aroma slowly spread throughout the space, settling your mood and letting your inspiration begin to flow. 【Candle ingredients】 100% natural soy Wax and herbal essential oils (Geranium, Tagete, Bergamot, Cabreuva, Virginia Cedarwood, Patchouli) [Candle capacity] 50 grams
