Diary Caprice No. 8 "Compared with Yesterday's Self"
I didn't expect that the more I wrote this article, the more words I wrote. Originally, the first volume was only expected to be 15 to 200,000 words, and the whole book, three volumes, that is, 600,000 words, but I didn't expect that now it is 510,000 words, and the first volume has not been written.
I also didn't expect that a plot picture in my mind, when I wrote it, sometimes a chapter of more than 2,000 words is enough, sometimes, two chapters are not enough, and it even takes three chapters to complete a plot, such as "Parting Ways", "Hundred Flowers Festival Feast", "Ten to Three".
Little Hello Kitty asked me one day if I noticed that more people were reading the text.
Yes, I do find that there are more people reading the text, I remember the week in July, the weekly clicks, only 7 times or 6 times. However, such bleak data will not affect my determination to write an article -- the bleak data does make people feel a little depressed sometimes, but the joy brought by writing an article has far outweighed and drowned out this depression.
After watching my radio today, I found that when chapter 205 "Ice Sculpture" was released, the clicks counted by the Diandian website were "9,547 people have read this book", and when the chapter 206 "Christmas Dinner" was released, the clicks counted by the website were "9,760 people have read this book", and I calculated that the number of clicks was 213, which seemed to be the highest number of clicks in a single chapter in the history of my article, and it was without recommendation -- at least six or seven times higher than the previous weekly clicks, and I was overjoyed.
Seeing me say that I am happy, some people may say that the work of a certain god has 70,000 or 80,000 hits a day. Your little bit of data isn't even a fraction of it!
I'm now reading "The Night" by the catly god.,This is the first article I've read about the cat.,I like it very much.。 "Jiang Ye" was published in August 2011, and it was not written until this year, about two years, and the book is clicked 32718109 times on the Diandian website today, about 32.72 million hits (not counting the number of clicks on those who see piracy, it is estimated to be more). I really admire it.
When I was a child, my mother once said: "People are more angry than people." ”
When I grew up, my mother once said to me, "Don't compare yourself with others, compare yourself with yourself." Today's self is better than yesterday's self, and that is progress. ”
One day, I saw a micro-*** letter from a friend, and the micro*** letter wrote: Hemingway said in "True Nobility": Better than others, not noble, real nobility should be better than your past self. ”
I haven't read this book or article, but I forwarded this micro*** letter. Hemingway's words are different from what my mother said to me in the past, but the meaning between the lines is similar.
Of course, Hemingway's sentence, it is estimated that in Hemingway's text, there is also a situation of preface and afterword, and now if it is singled out, maybe the understanding will be different from Hemingway's understanding.
As for Hemingway's words, as well as what my mother said to me in the past, yes or no, the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise. However, no matter what others think, I like these few words---- I am self-aware, I know that I have a slight weight, I don't compare with the big gods, I don't compare with the small gods, I don't compare with others, I only compare with myself. Today's me is compared to yesterday's me. So I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy.
This article, at the current pace, if it can be persevered, will take about two to three years.
I wish I could keep going, I'm trying to hold on, and I've been holding on for 10 months, regardless of the data.
It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with others. I don't hide my wishes--- the more people read my writings, the happier I am. But I don't stop writing because no one reads my articles, or I read fewer articles, or I have fewer recommendations, or I have fewer collections. If one day, I don't write, it's because I don't want to write, I don't have to create** - I hope that day will never come. I hope to live to be old, and when I write about it--- I suddenly think that after 30 years of retirement, listening to music and coding words at home is also a good way to pass the time.
A few friends I met through writing, Little Hello Kitty, have already opened the fourth article, and Shen Sangongzi is also writing the fourth article. I hope that I can be like them, writing the first book, then the second, then the third, and the fourth......
A grain of sand, a world. A flower, a paradise (I also like this mood).
I am just an inconspicuous grain of sand, but I have my world, I am just an inconspicuous little flower, but I have my paradise.
I, a little flower and grass, when I am hot-headed, I speak boldly. It's just that I'm not a particularly diligent person, nor is I a particularly persevering person, I really don't know, two years later, maybe a longer time, when I come back to read this article and think about it, I may be happy, maybe I will be melancholy, maybe I will regret...... Who knows?
