When I was a kid, I could set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. I would light the firecrackers with a piece of incense stick and find a pipe in the mud to explode.

Every time winter vacation comes, my parents will take out the sealed 8-bit game console for me to play. When I was in school, they would hide Contra, Cuban Warrior, Tank Battle...

Those small games that now seem to have simple graphics and single gameplay have carried my memories of the Chinese New Year for many years.

When I grow up, I don’t set off firecrackers anymore, and I don’t like to join in the fun of setting off fireworks. My neighbor likes to light pagoda incense. His garage is under my study. During the New Year days, I felt like I was always eating incense while typing.

As for games, when I was in junior high school, high school, and during the holidays, I could watch and play them as much as I wanted, but after I reached an age and then spent time playing games, I would actually feel a damn guilty feeling in my heart.

Now that everyone's living conditions have improved, we do not deny the various inheritance, family, meaning, blessings and other attributes of the New Year, but in fact, the New Year has long been meaningless.

Since the launch of the group messaging function in communication tools, even New Year greetings have become stereotyped. In order to show your sincerity, you have to specially type a title before the New Year. You are worried that the other party will think that you copied and pasted the group message to make fun of me.

Actually, I didn’t want to send this letter during the Chinese New Year, but the management strongly urged me to send it.

The reason I don’t want to post it is because I don’t have the shame to do it.

Starting from the fourth quarter of last year, the updates started to become too slow. I used to guarantee 10,000 words per day, but now it has become 5,000 or 6,000 words per day. I wanted to work hard to resume updates, but I shouted the slogan, but I failed to do it.

If you fail to fulfill your promise, you should stand at attention and scold or scold you. There is nothing to say, and I feel extremely ashamed.

In the past, I never expected that I would be like this. After all, if I put it aside, I would sit in front of the computer for 16 hours a day, work hard to update, beat the number of words, beat the chapters, and I could fulfill my promise no matter what.

But now, I can't do it anymore. I originally thought it was due to a breakdown in my routine and a decline in my state. I took a rest, adjusted, and recovered, but the battery couldn't be charged.

What follows is a rapid decline in physical fitness. Not only do people have no energy all day long, but they also start to suffer from various minor problems. A while ago, I almost collapsed due to gastroenteritis, and now I have eczema and my hands are scratched.

Every profession and every job is hard. In fact, I have always felt that the job of an author is easier than many jobs. It is protected from wind and rain. My personal income from manuscript royalties is not low now, and I have no difficulties in life. When I was young,

At that time, I had just fallen in love, rented a house, and had no living expenses. Instead, I was playing around asking for rewards, and relying on the daily appreciation from regular readers of the public account to order takeout and eat.

The current codewriting environment is something I couldn't even imagine when I first entered the industry, so I never like to be miserable, as it always feels so pretentious.

It feels a little inappropriate to talk about physical problems. After all, I am still young. Although I am thirty years old, there are many older Big Brother authors than me, and they are still fighting on the front line.

So after thinking about it, I have to find a defensible reason for myself. Why do people who are older than you and have many physical problems still insist on breaking out and updating? Why are you the only one who is sluggish?

Hey, I found it, because... I am fat!

The author's work attributes include sitting for a long time, not liking exercise, and a large proportion of the body is overweight. However, when I went to the author's annual meeting and scanned around, I discovered a terrible fact, that is... I am actually the fattest one.

.

It took me two years to write "The Advent of the Devil". After finishing the book, I barely rested. During the process, I not only thought about the new book, but also tried to quit smoking. I quit for a month and endured the withdrawal reaction. When someone passed by me smoking a cigarette on the road, I was stunned.

I feel like the smell of cigarette smoke is unpleasant and I feel sick and want to vomit.

As a result, when I started typing, I couldn't get into the best state no matter what. I weighed it up and decided, forget it, it's more important to do typing well, and I relapsed.

Therefore, in the early part of this book, I wrote about Karen smoking and various reactions. In fact, I was complaining about it myself. I would like to advise young readers here:

Remember, those who smoke are Shabi! (I am Shabi)

The early updates of "Mink Street" were very hard, with more than 10,000 words written every day. I worked hard for more than half a year, and then my body was exhausted.

I am now in a state of severe mental exhaustion and constant physical ailments.

Physical health problems that used to feel far away from me suddenly came over, as if they were being wiped out by Wayne.

In the past, when I said "I wish you good health" during holidays, I thought it was a cliché, but now I really understand the deeper meaning.

Therefore, I hope that everyone can cherish their own bodies, especially young readers. Don’t think that young people are overindulgent and do not cherish them. The body is 1, and the rest are all 0s at the end. Without 1, it doesn’t matter how many 0s are behind it.

Lost its meaning.

Everyone, please take good care of your own health and the health of your family. In the new year, we all need to be healthy.

My outlook for the new year is that I want to persist in writing the story "Mink Street". After writing, I will stop and rest, recharge myself, read books, read materials, study, take supplements, and then prepare for the next book.

Book preparation.

Many friends have suggested to me that I should just rest for a while and then come back to code. But as an old author, I know that once you really stop and rest for a while, if you want to come back and continue, you will not be able to continue.

on.

Therefore, for many books, the author stopped updating and then came back. Not long after, he stopped updating again. Because his mood and state were broken, he could not continue, and the authors became like father-in-laws who occasionally went out to buy.

I am trying my best to finish this story well. Since I have taken you to take off, I will also take you to land. If there are any bumps, please feel free to complain. You are welcome. I will also complain, I can stand.

My perspective when publishing the book, my perspective when spraying the ending, we spray together.

at last,

I wish you and your family good health in the new year!
Chapter completed!
