& The finals of the 1st National Middle School Student Essay Contest of Kehui Publishing House. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters-???. In addition to the pen they bringed, the promotion pass, and the student ID card with the photo of their personal identity, each student who was promoted in the examination room sat down in front of him was ten 4oo-word one-page official writing manuscript papers put down by the invigilator early.

In order to prevent the topic of the essay contest from being leaked out in advance, the highest level of anti-theft measures are taken. Except for Takeshita Kusaoke, who has the right to make a proposition, even the other six judges don't know. As for the rest of the people, etc., it is even more unclear. Therefore, this game is absolutely transparent and fair, just and open, and it is absolutely impossible to leak the question.

Instead of writing down the question of the contest on a piece of paper and then sealing the zài envelope, Takeshita Kusaokei did not bring it to the competition site under the pretense of someone else's hand, but made a personal visit. Not only did he come to come up with the questions, but he also cheered up the contestants, and instead of personally saying the essay topic for the upcoming competition, he poured three-quarters of the water into an empty glass.

"That's it." It's not temporary, but it's been carefully thought out. I handed the glass cup containing water in my right hand to the hand of the superintendent examiner??.?? `?

After taking it, the superintendent examiner, who was stunned for a moment, was a little puzzled: "Sir, is this the topic of the finals of today's essay contest?" A glass of water? Write around it? ”

"Not bad. As for the topic, they are completely free to swing and feel free. Poetry, Prose, Fiction...... There are no restrictions on the subject matter. Again, there is no limit to the number of words. And only the time of the game is limited, three hours. "The Takeshita grass mustard that made a supplementary explanation is to make these contestants almost free from any thinking constraints and restrictions, so that they can write whatever their love wants.

"Understood. I'm going to bring this glass of water to the game. The chief examiner, who was at the Mustard Press, held it with both hands and walked towards the place that had been temporarily set up as an examination site.

First, a long table was brought and placed opposite the contestants, and then the chief examiner placed the glass of water on top of it. The left index finger pointed at it, and at the same time, it was solemnly announced to everyone that this was the writing topic of the finals??.?? Not only that, but he also repeated what Takeshita Kusashi had said before, and relayed it to them.

As soon as the words fell. The people present looked at the glass in unison. Although they all have doubts of one kind and another, no one dares to take the initiative to stand up and put forward, after all, the subordinates obey the superiors, the juniors obey the seniors, and the students obey the teachers...... Authority is one of the national characteristics of the Japanese.

Even if it's the first time they've encountered this kind of object as a writing topic. There is also some awkwardness and inner rejection. Still, the crowd was convinced and obedient. On the one hand, you find it difficult to write, and others are equally present. On the other hand, after learning that the person who wrote the question was Mr. Takeshita Kusaoji, a writer of the National University, no one secretly scolded the person who wrote the question in his heart as a brain-dead. They still firmly believe that the gentleman will not be deliberately embarrassed, but will be targeted to test their abilities in some aspects, such as loose thinking, etc.

The contestants, who gradually calmed down, met one by one to think about and conceive how to write about this glass of water. With a win-winning mind, they have been working hard in this aspect since they even stepped here. This once stands out. It can be regarded as having one foot in the door of the Japanese literary scene.

When they came to the location of the mustard publishing house, their belief was strengthened. In the past, they thought that publishing houses were very strict and broke the stereotype. The working environment here is not only very modern and artistic, but also spacious and bright, and greenery can be seen everywhere.

Not only that, but the coffee and beverage machines also offer a variety of drinks free of charge. It gives the impression that you are not in the company doing the work, but enjoying the fun that the work brings. Even if you work overtime from time to time, you won't feel too painful and tormented. For this reason, they finally understood. Why are so many people with their heads sharpened thinking about coming in here to work?

If you win an award, you will be able to get a contract with Mustard Press, and even if you don't work here, you will often come here to visit. Presumably at the beginning. I also come here often for various writing training and classes.

Half an hour after the start of the finals, Takeshita Kusaka walked out of the lounge and headed towards the competition site. He didn't walk in, just stood outside the hallway window and looked inside. The reason why he is like this is because he is worried that his arrival will distract the children, after all, there are too many people who regard him as an idol.

Takeshita is looking at these children who still have childish looks on their faces. My heart is full of emotion. Although there are many contestants here, it is difficult to say that one of them will become a writer in the future. Even if the selected people are all good seedlings, they may not be able to carry them on the road of writing from beginning to end, after all, it is too hard, and they have to face the problem of survival, and there are many temptations in the outside world. What's more, there are very few people who can get rich by writing. Moreover, this industry is not a quick money, and it is inevitable that it is not attractive to young people. In many cases, individuals also have to be self-motivated and have fun in suffering.

Thinking of the Takeshita grass mustard here, I can't help but think of the former owner of my body, who was poor in writing, and finally couldn't bear it, so he chose to swallow sleeping pills to end his young life. People who have never written will never understand how hard it is to be in writing, and it is much more difficult than going to work.

If it were not for the support of interests, beliefs and ideals, few people would have chosen to give up after they had survived the early stage of pen practice. Even if you have passed the stage of the department level and have a certain amount of manuscript fees, you are still living an unsustainable and poor life. Therefore, the greatest kind advice that established writers can give to their juniors who will be engaged in writing is not to quit their jobs and gamble.

Even if you become famous, you may not be able to get rich overnight and improve your life. Of course, it may be possible to engage in popular literature, but the author who engages in strict literature is a fighter in the midst of hardship. There are too many such precedents, and there is no shortage of world-class great writers. (To be continued.) )
