Can people still have dreams in middle age?
Running around the city and passing through the traffic, unknowingly, my temples were gray, and I was over forty years old, and I became a standard middle-aged man. I had to work hard every day, pick up and drop off my children to school, and worry about whether I had to worry about whether I had to do it or not.
I will be replaced by a new employee in the company and have to pay the mortgage on time... Suddenly one day, I asked myself in the mirror, hey, brother, do you still remember your dream when you were young?
When I was young, I had a dream of a writer.
In this dream, I feel happiness, freedom, and burning passion. In order to pursue this dream, I wrote the first martial arts novel in my life, "Smiling Proud World". I was founded when I wrote "Smiling Proud", so I was fortunate to become the first one in the first place.
A group of authors who have joined the website have witnessed the rise of Internet masters and witnessed the glory and prosperity of online novels. However, in this tide of prosperity of online literature, martial arts novels undoubtedly belong to the niche category, fantasy and fantasy
, Xianxia, city, superficial history, etc. are the mainstream, and the proportion of hard-core martial arts fans is not high among book friends. Of course, because of my limited level and the update speed is not fast, the results of "Swordsman" are not good.
What makes me even more unacceptable is that there are always people who accuse me of plagiarizing Mr. Jin's masterpiece and accusing me of not having my own style. When the novel was halfway through, I could no longer feel the joy of creation, and the inspiration gradually became exhausted.
At this time, I was accidentally hit hard at work and didn’t have enough time to write, so I simply stopped updating and left the starting point.
This trip took six years.
During these six years, I got married, had a child and survived a dark career, and gained a foothold in the company. During these six years, I have never logged in to the starting point again, and have never communicated with the book fans of "Smiling Proud"
Once, I haven't written any words. Looking back now, I still feel very ashamed and sorry for those book friends who are waiting for updates.
However, when I overcome all kinds of difficulties, I still returned to the starting point with shamelessness and completed the sequel to "The Smiling World" in 2012. Although it is not perfect and there are still various regrets, at least I fulfilled a wish.
Now my life is becoming stable, but I feel busy every day but I feel bored. When the night is late, I ask myself more than once if I am the life you want?
No, no!
Can’t people have the right to pursue their dreams when they reach middle age?
I have hesitated, struggled, and wandered, should I come back? After all, this era belongs to young people, readers' preferences are changing with each passing day, and there are countless great gods who have been eliminated. And I am just an unknown little person, no one cares about it,
No one will pay attention.
If I come back again, maybe what awaits me will end up bleak. There are hundreds of thousands of online writers, and most of them can only stay at the foot of the mountain, and they will never be able to appreciate the scenery on the top of the mountain for the rest of their lives. If they invest a lot of time and energy to create,
It will also affect the real work and family. I am not living in a vacuum, I usually need to deal with complex interpersonal relationships and solve endless problems.
When I kept looking for excuses to procrastinate, I actually knew in my heart that I had not been fully prepared. After all, writing is a long process, which greatly tests the creator's will and perseverance. Friends who have written online articles know that
How difficult it would be to face a computer for more than four or five hours a day for half a year, one year or two years!
Until one day, I accidentally saw my comments from that year on the website and the comments from my book friends, and I couldn't help but feel mixed feelings. Giving up is really easy and simple. But persistence is so valuable. For example, Tang Jiasan
Few, I have been constantly making more creative and updating for many years. I am really a person with great perseverance and a big heart. Everyone hopes that life will become better and more meaningful. But if you don’t act, all wishes will be fantasy.
Life is short, and I don’t want to leave too many regrets in my life.
I overturned the structure of "Canghai", re-modified the main line, added new elements, and changed the identity, background, and personality of the main characters. I named the new book "Rebirth of Xuanyuan Wusheng" tells the story of the protagonist traveling through thousands of years and being in the
In the chaotic times of the early Northern Song Dynasty, I gradually grew up in adversity, experienced love, hate, and hatred, and led a group of brothers to create their own heroic era. I am not good at writing fairy tales or history, so I still promote the development of the story according to the structure of martial arts.
In this magnificent martial arts world, people have joys and sorrows, and the moon has its phases and waxing. I hope people will live long and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles away. Of course, I will also appropriately borrow the elements popular in today's online literature and try to write about it, which is not the same as traditional martial arts.
The same taste. As for whether this writing style can be recognized by readers, I am not sure and quite nervous.
Perhaps because of the relationship that is deeply influenced by traditional culture, I still have a strong Chinese nation complex in my bones, and I am full of respect for the land of China and the Chinese civilization. Since the beginning of the Xia and Shang dynasties, the inheritance of Chinese civilization has always been tested by blood and fire.
.Every time of turmoil, countless heroes will emerge, regardless of life and death, regardless of gains and losses, just to protect their homeland. I hope to use this story to lead book friends back thousands of years ago to feel the passion, persistence, dreams, and
The determination to protect the earth under your feet, to miss that youth, and to record my friends and brothers.
I believe that no matter whether you become famous or not, what every author wants to get after creating a work and publishing it publicly is the encouragement of readers, rational suggestions, and good-willed criticism. Feedback from book friends is to support a writer.
Persist in creating and ignore the source of motivation for difficulties. As new chapters are gradually released, various characters appear. Every book friend is welcome to leave your comments, and I will definitely read them seriously. If you can discuss the characters or plots in the book, then
It's even more awesome. In short, I hope that the new book can be loved by everyone.
Return to the starting point again and embark on the road of creation like a newcomer. I want to thank life for the hardships that have given me, which have helped me get rid of my confusion and have the determination to do something meaningful. I want to thank my family for giving me the most real
The warmth makes me fearless of darkness. I want to thank my brothers, no matter the ups and downs of life, you always accompany me to grow ups and downs. I want to thank every book friend, and online literature is wonderful because of you.
I will try my best to write and never forget my original intention.
I hope you and I will never stop chasing my dreams.
Chapter completed!
