Chapter 7 An editor who doesn't want to be a writer is not a good editor
Govin still remembers that when he was studying xiao, when the teacher asked everyone in class what career they wanted to pursue when they grew up, he did not hesitate to say that he wanted to be a well-known writer when he grew up, because in his eyes, writers don't have to go to school or work, they can do whatever they want, and no one cares about sleeping at home every day, which really makes him envious. At that time, his words made the teacher laugh. Later, when he really understood the situation, he understood why the teacher felt happy when he heard his explanation.
Now that I have traveled back to this era, with the knowledge I remember and the writing that is not bad, it must not be difficult to become a writer. This will help me get a job at Harvest Magazine today.
So how do you get started?
Govin has a bit of a headache.,There are a lot of xiao sayings about the future in my head.,But there is no xiao theory published in the 8o years.,Most of the xiao sayings in other memories don't conform to the current status quo.,If you write it out rashly.,It's a matter of xiao that won't be paid attention to.,I'm afraid of causing any political disagreements.,It's troublesome.。
Accidentally saw the "Harvest" magazine brought back from the editorial department on the table, Gowen's eyes lit up, yes, when a writer doesn't say that it is necessary to write xiao, prose, poetry, and short stories are all ways to become famous.
So let me start here. Is it not that the wheel of history is spinning slowly but surely on this night? Govyn smiled.
Although he had decided to start with poetry and prose xiao shu, but when he really wanted to write, Gowen still fell into a difficult choice, for him prose and short xiao xiao are undoubtedly easier to write than poetry, but his head was empty but there was nothing, but a few poems in his memory popped up.
Forget it, write whatever comes to mind. Govin laughed at himself and made a decision. Then I couldn't laugh and cry and realized that I didn't have paper and pen yet.
I went to the living room to look for it, but it still didn't show up.
There should be one in Lin Yiming's house, Gowen's eyes looked at Lin Yiming's room, the room was half-open, thinking that Lin Yiming was in a hurry and forgot to lock it.
Gewen hesitated for a moment, but decided to wait for Lin Yiming to come back. Lin Yiming gave himself the greatest trust, how could he live up to his intentions.
When Lin Yiming came back, Gewen urgently asked him for paper and pen, which made Lin Yiming confused for a while, "I have it in my room, why don't you just go in and get it?" ”
Lin Yiming's grinning sincere expression moved Ge Wen greatly, and said with a smile: "Without your consent, how could I venture in." ”
"Hey, no. If you need anything in the future, if I am not there, you can just go in and get it, and if you don't worry, just wait for me to come back and tell sù. Lin Yiming looked disapproving.
Gowen, who had entered the room with a pen and paper, sat quietly at the table, and had just written a few words when he became annoyed. He was thinking, it would be nice if there was too much computer, in his previous life, he was used to typing on the keyboard, and when he used the pen, he often just signed, and this time he wrote, he felt a lot unfamiliar, and he couldn't write a lot of words.
So he had to borrow a dictionary from Lin Yiming, and when he encountered words that he couldn't write, he looked up the dictionary, so he stopped writing and stopped, and at about eleven o'clock in the evening, Govin finally wrote 3,000 words.
Rubbing his somewhat sour wrists, Govin sighed secretly, this writer is not so easy to be.
When Gewen borrowed pen and paper, Lin Yiming asked Gewen very curiously what he wanted to do. When he heard Govin say that he was going to write xiao, he couldn't help but be full of expectations for Govin.
Talking with Govin on the train, I know that Govyn's literacy is good, and Xiao said that I want to write it should be the same. So when Govern stopped, Lin Yiming hurriedly picked it up to see Govern's masterpiece.
Then Lin Yiming was a little confused, pointed to the manuscript in his hand and asked suspiciously: "This is the short story you wrote?" ”
Gewen nervously watched Lin Yiming's reaction when Lin Yiming picked up the manuscript, looked at him with expectant eyes, and waited for Lin Yiming's words to come out, nodded busily and said, "Yes." How is it written? ”
"Well, the writing is good, and some of the details are very moving. What's the story...... The writing is quite jīng color. Lin Yiming snorted haha.
"Can you watch it?"
“…… The table is still a little difficult. Lin Yiming said worriedly, "But it doesn't matter, take your time, Rome was not built in a day." ”
Really! Not hearing the desired result, Govin suddenly collapsed weakly in his chair.
When he started writing this short story, he didn't rely on anything from his previous life, it was completely his own ideas and writing, of course he knew that as long as he casually plagiarized an article he had read in his previous life, the table would definitely be fine. But he stubbornly believes that there is no need to rely on plagiarism to cheat on his own strength.
As a result, Lin Yiming's words made Govin clearly realize his strength, even in this era, he is not as good as those writers who have been subjected to more than ten years of information explosion.
However, it is impossible for anyone to write a masterpiece from the beginning, as Lin Yiming said, Rome was not built in a day. What's more, Lin Yiming said that his writing is good, that is, the story is not new, which shows that he still has the potential to be a writer.
At the moment, Gewen didn't plan to continue writing, so he packed up his mood and talked with Lin Yiming about the movie "Shaolin Temple" played in the auditorium of Fudan University tonight, and then the two went back to sleep in their respective rooms.
Early the next morning, because Lin Yiming was going to class, Govin went to the editorial office of "Harvest" alone.
When he arrived at the editorial office, Govin immediately cleaned up diligently, then made a cup of hot strong tea for the editors, and then sat down in his assigned seat and began his work.
His job is actually very simple, that is, to sort out the letters in the mailbox outside the editorial office according to the categories of readers' letters, contributions, business letters, etc., and then give them to the editors in charge. After sorting out the letters, then review the manuscripts for some editors, and if they think they are good, they will be divided into editors, and if they are bad, they will start to write rejection letters, and then wait for them to be sent out.
Because he is a newcomer, the manuscript that was reviewed at the beginning, whether it was through guò or not, would be re-examined by another old editor, and the editor would naturally point out the mistakes, and when Govin would not make any more mistakes, the work would be completed by him alone.
The editor who reviewed for Gewen was called Li Yu, and he had the same name as the Southern Tang Dynasty queen in history, but Gewen affectionately called him Uncle Li.
Uncle Li, who is a little blessed in his fifties, is different from the heir who cherished the moon in history, he is quite easy-going and funny, and he was teased by him when Govin first came yesterday. Let Uncle Li help review the manuscript, maybe it is also because the director Gao Lin thinks that Uncle Li is amiable and can let Ge Wen enter the state as much as possible.
In the next few weeks, Govin did not go anywhere except to work in the editorial office of Harvest, and stayed at home to concentrate on his work.
At first, Lin Yiming vetoed every article he wrote, which was a stubbornness in his xìng, and I still didn't believe that I couldn't write an article that could be expressed!
Gradually, Govin found the idea of writing new ideas for the story, and the news reports and gossip anecdotes from his previous life were good subjects for creation. If the article is hardware, then the specifications of the manuscript are software, and the review work in the editorial department has given Govin a very clear understanding of how to pass the review of the editor, so that it is a matter of course to write a qualified article that can be tabled.
