The second volume of "Please Return with the Colorful Clouds" is prefaced
Today is April 1, 2020, which coincides with April Fool's Day. Time flies, and it has been 17 years since the last SARS virus. Beijing is now a cloudy and sunny April day on earth, giving people love and warmth.
It was also taking advantage of this beautiful weather that I hastily ended the last chapter of the first volume of "The Bright Moon Invited to Return with the Colorful Clouds".
I said that I ended it in a hurry because as the first volume progressed smoothly, but in the last chapter, I obviously felt a lot of discomfort in my body. So much so that I didn't have the energy to think about how to finish it, and I didn't have the icing on the cake for the overall polish of the first volume, and I even struggled with the timing and idea of the finish.
For about a week, I rehearsed and rehearsed various closing scenes over and over again in my mind, and in the end, I chose to end with regret.
This is the result of my helpless procrastination. Perhaps, most of the so-called first love are regrettable misses!
At this point, I thought, should I continue to write the second volume?
This is also the question that I have to think about and doubt next.
It's not that the author doesn't want to write, doesn't want to write, can't write, it's actually that I really feel tired and have the idea of being lazy!
Insisting on code words is indeed a very hard thing, and I believe that every online god has a deep experience of the hardships and tiredness. What's more, the author is just a middle-aged novice who is new to online writing.
I still remember that at noon on March 10, the courier informed me to pick up the contract signed with Chinese International at the entrance of the alley, and when I hurried to the joint location, the moment I took the contract express, I sighed: Alas! I really can't be lazy anymore!
I've always considered myself a lazy person, and if it weren't for the contract, I can't imagine, let alone be sure, I wouldn't have been writing as much as I am now.
But I'm still an idealistic perfectionist, and I don't allow myself to scatter the storyline into a mess and disappear without a trace.
Therefore, this article was successfully signed first, and then tried to apply for the shelf, and then got the cover of the novel and set up VIP. The procedure seems to be gradual, but in fact the author is too busy to take care of himself, often reversing the incursions.
Everything is the first time, there is no experience in online writing, lack of innovation ability, and physical fitness is not good. I just fumbled my way forward in my busy schedule, and the successful completion of this article is already the greatest success of this article.
I often think that people always need to carry a weight to move forward, and signing a contract is just an initial self-restraint and encouragement. After a long time, what can allow me to continue to write is more of a habit and responsibility.
At this time, I really had the same simple idea as I did at the beginning: be responsible for each of its characters, start and finish, and never end halfway! I don't allow myself to cut corners and end hastily because of physical discomfort!
The most important thing is that in the first volume, the heroine Gu Caiyun has just learned the bad news of the male protagonist Shen Yiwei, and all the truth has not been solved, how can I ignore them?
They have accompanied me from years to years, from snow to spring in March, from the horror of the new crown virus to the effective control of Shen Yiwei and Gu Caiyun!
So, I'm going to write the second volume, maybe a little slower. It's so slow that you can't bear to allow it. But I will forgive myself, and I believe that if there are readers who liked this article, they will also forgive the author.
Sometimes I'm even glad that there aren't many good-looking readers, and I feel a lot more at ease if no one pushes me to change the speed.
I'm not a master of writing novels, and I'm not a master of storytelling. I've been keeping my codeword diary since March 11th. Sometimes when I see the ideas and hard work of writing each chapter of the online essay recorded in my diary, as well as the complicated trivial matters and experiences when writing, I even feel that the real life of everyone around us is a story and a novel.
Everyone's real life is richer, more real, and more exciting than fiction. It's just that we don't want to see our real life too closely.
Before I start writing the second volume, I will have some more time to devote to this kind of hard work.
This is not my ideal comfortable and idle lifestyle, especially the experience and emotions of Gu Caiyun's "me" in the online article are not a relaxing and pleasant thing.
In the second volume, the relationships between the various characters will be a little more complicated, and everything will probably be: Oh, I see!
What will the once sweet and sad first love turn out to be? The author is really not sure!
As I said in the first volume, I hope it will be a poetic and touching love story. I don't want it to have a sad ending, and I even hope that there will be some very sweet and beautiful plots and finales later.
But everything is really not under the control of the author. Sometimes the characters, from the very beginning, decide their own destiny.
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to handle the words well, but I thought that there might be unexpected results in the future, and I felt indescribably wonderful.
Perhaps, the writing of the second volume is purely a sentiment of the author himself.
When everyone is young, they will have their first love's regrets and dreams, and as they grow older, this regret will become clearer and clearer, and many people have such a personal experience.
Why can't I try to change the ending through a novel?
This will be the one thing I personally want to do in 2020.
Volume 2, I will continue to work hard!
Thank you to all my readers and friends who supported me!
The stars are graceful
