I heard that African brothers have a strange way of farming, and when I checked it on the Internet, it was true.

Dig a small hole with a hoe at random, throw two or three seeds, and the rest is left to fate.

What the?

Do you also want to loosen the soil, irrigate, fertilize, and weed?

Are you kidding!

You are just a seed, and you can't grow fruitful fruit because you don't have the ability, and you dare to ask for this and that!

What the?

When fruit grows, do you need to prevent drought, waterlogging, and wild beasts?

Are you kidding!

You are just a fruit, you can't keep it when you grow it, you can't send it to my mouth, you have no ability, where do you have so many chirps!

In a word, other people's seeds can grow well and be sent to my mouth, why should I meet your requirements?!

Does it feel like this is very similar to the current online literature circle?

Readers want to see beautiful stories,

The platform wants to see beautiful performance,

All those who have the ability and ability to talk to the circle are all eyeing each other,

It's just that no one cares what the authors really need.

Why?

Just because of the same sentence, others can write well, why can't you write well?

The online literature circle is too big, just a certain point claims to be 8.1 million authors, let them kill each other, survival of the fittest, and always pick out a few generals, why bother to pay even a little bit of sunshine and rain for them?

In addition, the sea cucumber doesn't want to talk about it, doesn't dare to talk about it, and can't afford to talk about it, I just want to talk casually with the readers closest to the sea cucumber.

What do you need for seeds?

Sunlight, rain, soil, etc., can be summed up in one word, and that is nutrients.

What do authors need?

Clicks, favorites, recommendations, comments, etc., summed up in one word, is response.

Responses from readers.

An author who has no response from readers is like a lonely traveler in the desert, unable to see any hope of survival.

An author who has no response from his readers is like a sailor sailing in an endless ocean that cannot find his way home.

Authors who do not respond to the reader are the same as the only intelligent life in the vast universe - us human beings ourselves.

The unsupport of family members, the incomprehension of friends, the yin and yang weirdness of colleagues,

Any passer-by can point to us and joke: Look, it's an online writer who can't eat.

But what does it matter, I have a response from readers, every like, every vote, every comment they write, can make me happy, can help me resist countless cynicism, guns and arrows.

It is these responses that have accompanied me countless lonely mornings and lonely nights.

Gradually, however, I found that I was receiving fewer and fewer responses.

Both positive and negative responses are decreasing, and the comment section has become as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

What happened, did I write something wrong?

I began to have self-doubt, self-denial, and a desperate search for what existed or didn't exist.

Then, without the only support, I felt more and more pressure.

Then, I began to think seriously about a question:

Am I really not talented, and am I really not fit for this job that requires a lot of patience to survive?

In the end, I was not strong enough and gave up on the dream I had held on to at the beginning.

At this time, dramatic changes appeared.

After a while, I came back to take a look after cleaning up my mood, and the comment area was lively.

"What about people?"

"It's dead, let's disperse."

"My chase, 555~"

"Author, you're bad again."

Seeing these comments, I really have mixed feelings, to paraphrase an old saying in the author's circle:

"I didn't even know I had readers."

See, isn't that interesting?

said that it was a complaint of two sentences, and it was dozens of sentences when I looked closely.

Let's just say a few more words at the end.

No matter how many turbulent waves there are in the outside world, and how upside down the world is,

The two core needs of the web will not change.

The author's need to tell a good story,

The reader's need to look at the story well,

Without these two points, no matter how gorgeous the scene is, it will disappear.

Therefore, the most fundamental support is the mutual support between the author and the reader, which is the foundation of everything.

So, why can't readers and writers support each other?

The author is a little more dedicated, writes a little more, writes a little better,

The reader takes a little bit of leisure to give the supporting author a little more response, so that the author understands his own strengths and weaknesses.

Isn't that perfect?

Why do you have to wait until the seeds in your own field wither?

And then look at the fruitful fruits of other people's fields,

What about complaining that your own seeds are not angry?

You know,

The author's work is not only poured into the authors, but also when the readers read it, why didn't the readers pour their feelings?

In the final analysis, in this era of interoperability and interaction, online articles are actually the result of the joint efforts of authors and readers!

…………

OK, after complaining, the sea cucumber cheekily begged for two tickets.

Of course, it would be better if there was a tip.
