To borrow the famous saying of the Big Devil: "When you lose, everything you say seems like you are making excuses." In the same way, when your grades are not good, any speech you write seems like hypocrisy. Originally, I also
I don’t want to write about this thing, but everyone has repeatedly requested it, so let’s chat a few words before putting it on the shelves.
It has been almost three years since I finished writing my last book. To be precise, it has been almost four years since I started writing.
After I finished writing Encounter in the Peach Blossom Land, I planned to close the book and retire into seclusion, and just quietly be a pure reader from now on.
Although people have left, my heart always stays here. In other words, everyone is reluctant to let me leave, and it is precisely because of everyone's concern that I come back.
Let me first explain some confusion to you. Many people are curious about why I haven’t written in the past few years. One of the reasons is that there were problems in my marriage in 16 years, and then I divorced. My health and condition have not been very good, so I simply stopped to rest. Secondly,
Just with these three books: Sword of Dynasty, Absolute Violence and Encounter in Peach Blossom Land, I feel that I have reached my own peak, and it is already difficult to break through in the same genre.
Thirteen long years have passed since the first book Border Town Prodigal to this Miao Xing. The protagonists in the novel include Lin Yi, Qiu Tian, Lu Fei, Wu Hua, Ye Shuang, Zhang He, Dalong and today's Ding Meng.
, I believe that attentive readers can see that they have gradually transformed from young, immature, naive, and passionate to mature, calm, sophisticated, wise and vicissitudes of life. The changes of the protagonists bit by bit are the most authentic portrayal of me as the author.
.
The passage of time and the changes in the world have made me no longer young. I just checked the release date of "One Shot and Blood", and it turned out to be August 1, 2009. Suddenly, many scenes of the original code appeared in front of my eyes, as if they were right there.
Same as yesterday.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now I no longer have the courage to update 18 chapters a day, nor the hand speed to code 13,400 words in a day, nor the courage to grab a spot on the monthly ticket list.
Sometimes I think it may be because I am getting older and my energy is not as good as before. Of course, these are normal.
Yes, but more importantly, there are more trivial matters, changes in ideas, concerns, positions, and various ties, so the style is no longer as direct, pure and sharp as before. After all, "Wu Hua"
This character is like my personal imprint, and everyone has deeply imprinted it on me with the pen name "Border Town Prodigal".
From the perspective of online writing, I am not a qualified author. I am stubborn and persistent. I don’t like to follow the crowd, and I don’t like to take care of other people’s emotions. Every book is written from the beginning to the end and is always carried out according to my will.
Nothing has changed.
Obviously, getting results like this will not be good, and the same goes for this book. Add in the three-year hiatus, what will the results look like? Everyone can see it, and I know it well. As for the reasons, I won’t go into details here.
, I am an amateur and do not care about professional writing. Overthinking some things will affect my mood and state.
The result of not changing my original intention is equally obvious. There has always been such a group of readers who have always followed my footsteps and never given up, no matter when I was in my glory days or when I was in my lowest ebb.
During the period from 2015 to 2019 when I didn’t write anything, every holiday, there were always twos and threes of book friends who traveled thousands of miles to come to my remote town to visit me. I used to say that I didn’t want to face those expectant eyes, but
When I actually met everyone in reality, no one urged me
I only have a pair of sincere and joyful eyes. Only when waving goodbye at the train station, everyone will turn around and ask me the classic phrase that is often used to comment on me in the group: "Brother Bian, will you appear again?"
"Book?" I am speechless every time. When I hear this sentence in real life, I have mixed feelings in my heart.
On the way back, I habitually asked the commander to change the music in the car to Mao Buyi's "People Like Me". Every time I hear this song, I feel a lot of emotions in my heart. It has been almost four years.
, I thought I had almost forgotten myself, but I didn’t expect that everyone was still waiting for me.
What really made me decide to write a new book was one day in August 2018. I got a new computer in my office. The first thing I opened was to look at the date and time in the lower right corner, because at this time I always
Say to myself: Usually at this point, I should be coding...
Some habits have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and some loves have been integrated into life, just like some people's characteristics cannot be changed no matter what. After three years of absence, unexpectedly, I am back.
This Miao Xing book is about science fiction, which is not a major game genre that I am good at. But I am really tired of writing about game themes. If you are interested in it in the future, you can consider League of Legends. After all, I used to be an Ionian.
Diamond level, so I also want to take on challenges in new areas.
Miao Xing's writing process actually had twists and turns. Some readers pointed out that the early stage was very good, but the transition in the middle was a bit abrupt. I don't want to defend it, I just want to say: you are right to accuse!
As for the reason, if I had to explain it, at the end of last year when I was writing these transitional plots, my old man was suddenly diagnosed with stage three renal failure, which is also the well-known uremia. He often traveled between hospitals and units at all levels.
I won’t go into details about how it affects the coding status. I always don’t like too much.
I am disclosing my own privacy. I am neither trying to be disrespectful or defensive by mentioning this topic. I just want to say that under such huge pressure, I still try my best to write every paragraph and every chapter. I ask everyone to give me some tolerance and understanding.
I don’t think there is any author who doesn’t have some accidents or personal matters that don’t affect his status.
As an author who has written many books, after writing this book, it is very likely that I have to cut it off decisively and start a new book. The modern era is different from the past. The rhythm changes so fast that it is so fast that it is disturbing.
It is difficult to adapt and needs to follow the trend and cater to the market.
In fact, I understand all these principles, but I won’t do it. I don’t want to prove to everyone how amazing or great I am, but I said when I wrote my first book thirteen years ago that I would never do it.
tj, I always cherish my pen name and keep it
I will never break my promise. Even if there is only one reader left in the world, I will still finish it. To this day, I am still proud of this: among the nine books under my name, none of them are TJ works.
, it was all completed according to my ideas.
This is the tenth book. It doesn’t matter to me whether the results are ideal or not. The only thing I feel is that in such a bleak or even bleak trough, there are such a group of lovely readers who accompany me and support me.
Therefore, the speech for the release of this tenth book should have been longer, talking about some experiences, making a joke, being cute, asking for votes, and then thanking and so on, just to commemorate the integer "ten".
But now I don’t plan to do that. All the complex emotions and thousands of words have been reduced to one word, not "thank you", but "write": keep writing, keep writing, face to face to the end, I want to write the first book
Such a difficult and even dark situation has passed, and this difficult situation is now
No matter the situation, what I lack most is tenacity and perseverance. I ignore those meaningless data and don’t talk about those miscellaneous things. The author always speaks with books and his own works. One word: write! Two
Word: I write! Three words: Write! Write! Write!
Okay, the speech is over, let’s continue! It’s Din Meng’s turn to play with everyone!
