It's time to conclude again. If you think about it carefully, it was more than two years ago that the last book was finished. It's hard to avoid feeling like you've been apart of the world.
Writing is really an interesting thing. The older I get, the more trivial things in life become, and I am less sensitive to the passage of time. But because of the existence of books, memories can always be connected. When I wrote this book
What were you doing, what happened when you wrote that book... Every book is a testimony of life.
When I wrote "Tianfang", I said that I experienced the biggest change in my life, and the book "Zangzhu" is the process of recovery.
When an accident occurs, the pain is actually not that obvious. When everything settles, the dense pain will surround you, gnawing at you day and night, following you like a shadow.
Therefore, the beginning of "Hidden Pearls" was the most painful book for me to write. At that time, my spirit was wandering and I could not devote myself to the story. It seemed that I was separated from the whole world by an invisible but unbreakable membrane, and I lost my sensitivity.
All I could feel was a dull pain.
The characters have been set and the background of the story has been written, but I can’t get into it, and I can’t take on the role of the character and make various reactions. I’m slow myself, so how can I imagine the psychological journey of the character? I can only think about it over and over again.
Substitute and trace the shape bit by bit. This is why this book is written very slowly. I have to spend more time to imagine the emotions, anger, sorrow and joy of the characters in the novel.
This also made me wonder if I had lost the ability to write and might never be able to write again in the future?
Fortunately, time is great, and the pain will eventually be healed by it. After enduring the most painful period, in the second half of this year, I slowly felt that I was getting better.
At that time, I looked back at this book and found that it was not as bad as I thought. The time spent was meaningful. Although it was written very slowly, I still grasped the rudder and moved forward steadily.
The characters are not separated and the plot is under control. It is much better than I thought.
When I was in the most pain, the goal I set for myself was to finish writing this book. As long as it was more than 800,000 words, I could finish the story. As the pain healed, it became more and more perfect, with more and more details and foreshadowing.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief. It can be called a work.
In fact, the first thing that appeared in my mind about this book was a scene. The vast yellow sand, the lonely inn, where two frustrated people met, each had a painful experience, and had a moment of pleasure. But I don’t want to forget it.
It is written in a painful tone, so the whole text is relaxed.
Life is already so difficult, why not be happier in a book.
I don’t really like to explain or expand the content of the work. After a book is written, the explanations that the author wants to express are all in the book. How to interpret it is the reader’s business, and there is no need to add any extraneous details.
All in all, this is an adventure story and a healing story. Xu Yin and Yan Ling were cured in the book, and I was cured outside the book.
There are many hurdles in life, and after passing one, there will be another. As I write the postscript here, I am glad that I survived. The abilities I once lost came back little by little, and the magnificent imaginary world opened the door to me again.
Thank you to the readers who accompanied me through rehabilitation, you are so precious.
I will take a good rest during this period, carefully consider the next book, and plan to publish a new book in two or three months.
The epidemic has been fierce recently, everyone, take care.
