Hello everyone, I am Talking Elbow and I am coming back.
On August 19, 2020, the first sequence was completed.
Tomorrow at 10 am, that is, April 18, 2021, my new book "The Naming of Night" will also be released.
…
I took eight months off, which was very short and very long.
In these eight months, I have fulfilled many wishes.
For example, go out and have fun with your family, buy a car for your mother, read your favorite novels, or play games.
Coding is my dream, but it’s not a bad thing to occasionally stop and reflect on myself, give myself some time to breathe, and gather enough courage and energy to get back on the road.
Editors will worry that if I don't publish a book for too long, my popularity may drop.
I'm worried myself too.
But after making choices, I decided to take a break.
Because I believe that as long as I can still come up with good stories, I can still survive in the Internet literary circle.
You may not live a good life, but it seems more important to recharge your batteries and come up with a good story.
…
The reason for the new story was to write the first series of extras.
At that time, I wanted to write about Li Shentan’s eventual survival, I wanted to write about Ren Xiaosu’s decision of whether to start One, I wanted to write about what happened to the Qing family, and I wanted to write about the new path that P5092 finally led Fire on.
But then I suddenly discovered that the story in the first sequence did not require me to fully explain the endings of everyone. Writing any more would feel superfluous.
Or maybe, I'm not confident that I can write their ending in that era, so I just leave it open to infinite possibilities.
Then, there is a new story, the naming of night.
Big Player, Sequence One, and The Naming Technique of the Night should be considered a trilogy.
The characters in each book are not closely related and will not affect new readers' reading, but perhaps we can always see some shadows of the past.
…
The worldview of the new book was decided long ago, when the first series of extras was written.
But what I find interesting is that its story is not limited to the world view, but has some new vitality. I think everyone will understand it within a month.
When the theme was born, it was discussed at a gathering in Haikou by me, the newspaper seller, the milk rider, the flying fish, the eagle, and the leather armor.
I proposed the core idea, and then everyone became interested and helped me complete a lot of it.
This kind of opportunity for the collision of inspirations between authors was so rare that I was very excited. At that time, I was sure of the feasibility of this story.
Therefore, I would like to thank several friends for this book, who gave me all their advice during the brainstorming process.
This story seemed very interesting to me, and it gave me the urge to code and the desire to talk.
I have always said that the most important thing for an author is the desire to talk. If there is nothing you want to write, then there is no point in writing it out.
So I'm looking forward to it very much.
…
I'm back after eight months, I hope I didn't disappoint you all.
Let time prove all this.
As I always say, stick to your heart and time will give you the answer.
When the time comes, I hope you who have been with me will still be there.
