First, I need to take half a week off.

Not wanted, but needed.

It's April Fool's Day, but I mean it.

I'm probably the kind of person who doesn't like to joke, and this time I've really taken a leave of absence to the limit.

To be honest, I've been in a bad state lately. Friends who follow the reading can see that in the last few days of March, the update time of "The Last Lamb" is unstable, and the writing rhythm of Yang Xiao is also relatively messy.

Of course, the uneven parts of these few times have been revised last night.

Then, it was two o'clock again. Then, it's time to get up early and go to work without stopping.

2020 is a very special year, and it should be the same for me.

For the first time in more than 20 years, I didn't celebrate the New Year at home, and I lost a lot of familiarity, even accustomedness.

This is followed by an automatic extension of the duty period during special periods.

Doubled the duty, compared to the Spring Festival holiday that doubled others, if you say that you are completely willing, it must be fake.

Fortunately, when I first entered the workplace, I still have some professionalism in my heart.

I was able to leave early in the morning, but I volunteered to stay.

The pandemic has added a lot of extra work. Fortunately, I was able to continue writing in my free time, and the whole month of February was not boring, but more fulfilling.

Then, in early March. The epidemic has had a heavy impact on our unit. The brother project next door in Qingdao, also in Qingdao, has a serious shortage of manpower, and there is not even a single person in one department.

So half a month ago, I was transferred to my current place. Because the colleague in Hubei has not come back yet, it is almost used by one person as two people.

I work all day long, and in order to write novels after work, I may have to stay up until 4 o'clock at night.

The 100,000 words updated this month as promised come at the cost of six consecutive days of inflammation and mental stress multiplication.

Life insecurity should also be counted as a factor.

Because I have the kind of temperament that is suitable for a stable life.

The days of borrowing are always a bit of a struggle, and a lot of comfort is sacrificed for the progress of the work.

Fortunately, I should be renting a house in a few days, drawing a happy end to the days of borrowing. My colleagues are going to end their quarantine and return to work, everything will be back on track, and I will probably settle down.

So, I hope it can be updated more in the future. Telling the story I want to tell as soon as possible is still one of the things I want to do right now.

In March 2020, the second month of the novel's update ended.

I'm still trying to find an ideal balance between work, life and ideals, and the weight of each of them.

I haven't found it yet, but I just resisted by staying up late and saving manuscripts. But I think I'll do it, and it's a big deal to throw away the entertainment.

The next half week will be a stage of Yang Xiao's reorganization.

After that, I will regroup and continue to sail with a more complete attitude.

Long writing is always a painful thing, but "bitter and sweet" will still be the deepest desire of our group.
