Live seriously and write books seriously
Starting from tomorrow until the 5th, there will be single updates. I have to take my children out to play and save manuscripts.
During the summer vacation, I will continue to take my children out to play and travel by car, spending more time - I promised my child that I will take him on a self-driving tour every summer vacation, and strive to slowly travel all over China, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Well - so I still have to save manuscripts for this... I get a headache just thinking about it, and I feel like I've dug a hole for myself. In the future, when starting a new book, you must avoid summer vacation, because during the new book period, you really don’t have time to run around.
I heard a song "Return to the Mountain" before, and there is a line in it that really touched me:
"Middle age is hard and there are many strange debts to repay"
This book is actually written with great feeling and passion, but I still have to ask for leave many times. I’m really sorry. As I am almost forty years old, it is indeed difficult for me to break out like before. There are subjective reasons here. Both physically and mentally, I am not as good as before.
There are also all kinds of objective bonds of being a father, a husband, and a son - when I was a child, I was happiest during the holidays, because I didn’t have to worry about anything, there were delicious food, fun things, and new clothes. I always felt that these were festivals for granted. .
Nowadays, celebrating holidays has become a big worry for me. I have to make holiday arrangements in advance. If I want to go out for fun, I have to make plans, book hotels, and arrange itineraries...
On the day of the festival, I got up early, yawned all day long, and drove out. The child sat in the back and continued to sleep. When you wake up and arrive at your destination as soon as you open your eyes, you may have the same thoughts as I did when I was a child - traveling is really fun, and of course it is fun. Traveling should be fun and happy.
But in fact, the things we took for granted when we were young are just because someone did all the work behind the things we took for granted, that is, our parents.
But these things were completely unimaginable to me when I was a child, until I became someone else’s parent.
There are many parental characters in this book, and I was very moved by almost every one of them when I was writing it.
A few days ago, I met a junior high school classmate I hadn’t seen for many years. The classmate asked me how I experience life when I write at home all day long.
I said that I make firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea with my wife and children every day. I am living in it. Where else do I need to experience it?
In this book, you can often see readers saying that a certain place is written with great details and life...
Of course, I was young and ignorant before, but now I am taking my life very seriously.
I don't smoke, but my father-in-law does. There were children at home, so he would turn on the range hood and smoke in the kitchen. For him, standing in the kitchen with his mobile phone, turning on the range hood, smoking while scrolling through his mobile phone, may be his leisure time, a rare and beautiful moment.
There is also the conflict of ideas between children and parents. When I was a child, I sat on the child's side, but after I had children, I understood the parents' thoughts and understood a lot of things. In fact, it is not who is right or wrong. This change in mentality naturally made me write it into the book, such as the conflict between Hu Lai and his father Hu Lixin.
……
It’s been a long time since I’ve written a single chapter. During the May Day holiday, I felt inspired to write a single chapter and have a casual chat with everyone.
As for the performance of this book, it seems that it is going up at present. Although the speed is very slow, Junding is indeed moving towards the 10,000 mark little by little. Thanks to everyone's love for being on the monthly ticket list, the ranking is not bad even though I don't have many outbursts.
I now hope to finish writing this book with guaranteed quality and give myself a long vacation. Let my brain take a good rest. After all, it’s quite okay to lie in bed every day before going to bed thinking about what to write next and how to write. When I wake up every day, I lie in bed thinking about what to write next and how to write. Hard work...
Of course, that will all be a long time coming, and I currently expect to write this book for at least another year.
So for me this is it for now:
Live seriously and write books seriously.
Finally, although I know that this is a single update, since I have already written a single chapter, I still shamelessly ask everyone for monthly tickets. During the double monthly ticket period, thank you everyone! (End of chapter)
