Chapter 31: Depressed Evening Classmates
Dusk Xizi didn't realize Su Ye's embarrassment, and asked a little funny: "You look very tired, are you so sleepy?" What did you do last night? ”
After Su Ye confirmed that he didn't have saliva, he said cheekily: "I was writing a novel last night, because I was too involved in writing, I accidentally wrote it late at night, so I was a little sleepy, and I got up so early, so I'm still a little sleepy." ”
All in all, throw the pot on the novel first.
"In this way, Su Ye, did you write all your novels last night?" Dusk Yuko said with some surprise.
"Well, it was all written last night." Su Ye nodded.
"Really? It's amazing, I use a notebook to write novels, and I can't write so many words at once, but you actually write so much by hand. In the evening, the classmate suddenly showed admiration and said with admiration: "And I have been writing novels so intensively, I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time!" Ah~ I'm really envious. ”
"Is that so?"
"Yes, I've been writing novels lately, and I've always felt like I'm going to be able to do a job, and I'm forcing myself to write it before the deadline. It's a terrible feeling. Speaking of this topic, Dusk Yuko looked a little depressed, she stuck out her tongue, and continued: "But even so, the editor also said that Dusk Sensei's writing is really amazing, and I don't want to read that kind of thing. ”
"When hobbies become jobs, the nature of writing changes." When Su Ye heard this, he nodded subconsciously and said with some emotion.
Even the great writer Natsume Soseki will have such a feeling, obviously the words and stories he wrote are very ugly, but the editors have praised them, and the readers have also praised them.
This creates a sense of self-doubt in the author.
What is the right thing to do?
Do you choose to believe in yourself, or believe in others?
This kind of problem seems to be a bit hypocritical, but it is also a problem of mentality that cannot be ignored.
"yes, that's it, so I'm a little scared about the future, and I wish I could stay in high school forever." Dusk Xizi said with some emotion.
When Su Ye heard this, his heart jumped, and he couldn't help falling into silence, and for a while he was even more suspicious, could it be that Dusk Xizi was really the girl who made a wish?
Dusk Xizi didn't realize Su Ye's strange appearance, and continued: "Although I also know that this is impossible, sometimes I can't help but think like this...... By the way, Su Ye, didn't you just ask me to give another evaluation after reading it? ”
"Ah, yes." Su Ye nodded, his face had returned to normal, and he looked at Dusk Xizi curiously, wanting to hear her evaluation.
"I rarely read this type of novel, so I can't give an accurate evaluation, but Su Ye, your writing is really amazing, whether it is the writing or the power of the pen, it makes me speechless, and even produces a kind of shame that I am ashamed of, compared to you, my words are really nothing. In addition, the story is also very good, which makes people shine. ”
Dusk Xizi said this, turned her head a little annoyed, puffed up her mouth slightly, and said: "In short, in my opinion, this novel is really good, but it is precisely because it is so good-looking that I question myself even more!" ”
"Huh?" Su Ye didn't expect Dusk Xizi's evaluation of his novel to be so high.
You must know that this novel is a story written by Su Ye in accordance with Natsume Soseki's style.
He didn't think about it for a long time, and he didn't have a single elaborate design.
It's just written out naturally.
Such a novel, in Su Ye's opinion, should only be of the upper middle level.
Who knew that Dusk Yuko would have such a high evaluation of this.
"You're not kidding, are you?"
Su Ye hesitated, but still asked.
"Certainly not kidding! Is that all there is to the novel? Dusk Xizi said: "I want to see the follow-up!" ”
"I haven't written it yet...... Su Ye thought about it, and still didn't tell the fact that this novel was written casually, otherwise it would be a bigger blow to her classmates in the evening, and it would be bad to completely destroy her confidence in herself.
"Write it out and remember to show it to me." Dusk Yuko smiled and said, "I'm a fan of yours now." ”
"Actually, the novels you write are not as bad as you say, in my opinion, the standard is quite good." Su Ye thought about it, shook his head and said.
"You've seen it?" Dusk Yuko was a little surprised.
"Yes." Su Ye nodded.
"Are you sure you're not sarcastic about me?" Dusk Yuko's eyes narrowed.
"Of course not." Su Ye said with great certainty.
"Even if you praise me like that, I can't be happy...... I don't know what's gone wrong lately, I always feel like I'm not in good shape. Dusk sighed slightly.
"You need to rest for a while, in the name of collecting materials." Su Ye said with a smile.
"That's a good idea!" Dusk Xizi's eyes lit up, and he didn't hear Su Ye talking about a stalk.
"By the way, do you want to submit your novel? I can introduce you to my publisher. If your novel is published, it will definitely sell well! Dusk suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Your publishing house?" Su Ye hesitated, but still shook his head and said, "No need, I don't want to submit my manuscript to the publishing house for the time being." ”
"Why?" Dusk Xizi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Oh, you must have a publishing house where you belong, I actually treat you as a newcomer..."
"No, it's not like that, strictly speaking, I'm really a newcomer, I said before that I've never submitted a post, that's a fact." Su Ye said.
"Then why don't you submit your manuscript to a publishing house?" Dusk Xizi was a little puzzled: "It's obviously such a good-looking novel." ”
Su Ye smiled helplessly, because he understood that a novel, from submission, to review, to picking mistakes, arrangement, and then applying for a book number, by the way, designing the cover, getting an illustration, and finally printing, and then going on sale, most of these many links will take more than a month.
If the efficiency is extraordinary, it may be possible to do it in a month, but it doesn't mean much.
He has his own plans.
Su Ye said: "I plan to submit to 'Cuckoo'. ”
"Cuckoo?" Dusk Yuko nodded, understood, "That's it." ”
"Cuckoo" is a long-established magazine that has been published for more than a century, publishing various essays and serialized novels, and is quite famous in the industry, equivalent to JUMP in magazines.
In fact, Natsume Soseki first serialized novels on Cuckoo, and after serializing to a certain number of words, he began to print a single book for sale. This is also a very common pattern.
If it is really published and sold directly, it may be applauded, but it may not necessarily be popular.
For a novel author, there are two most important points for whether a novel can sell well, the first is fame, it is a gimmick, and the second is the quality of the novel.
Even if Su Ye's novel is very good, it may not be sold, this is a cruel fact, and it is also the law of the industry, after all, the price of a single book is there.
Therefore, Su Ye's choice can be described as very wise.
Su Ye didn't care about this, what he was most concerned about was ...... Contact information for students in the evening!
Thinking like this, Su Ye continued to chat with his classmates in the evening, and when he was about to ask for a contact information, a third student finally came to the classroom.
This is a girl, or someone Su Ye is familiar with.
