Chapter 146: The Follow-up
For the first time, I wrote a 300,000-word novel in one go, which was indeed a bit difficult for me, a novice. However, I persevered and I didn't give up!
The reason for sticking to it is because I like it, and the process of arranging and combining words over and over again every day is a pleasant process, so why not do it?
The reason for persevering is because of you, whether you open it unintentionally, or pass the time when you are bored, as long as the moment you see my words, it is the reason for me to write down, and the reason for me to persevere.
One hundred and forty-six days, insisting on more than 2,000 code words every day, living with the characters in the novel every day, tasting love, experiencing suffering, tasting family affection, experiencing helplessness, their joys, sorrows, and sorrows, touched every nerve of mine.
Luo Yichen, who was in his twilight years, sat on a bench in the park and said to Lin Chuxia beside him: "Baby, you owe me a life in this life." The title of his youth, at this moment, Luo Yichen blurted out.
When I typed this on the screen, I burst into tears! There is no warning, no foreshadowing, just tears in an instant, like Lin Chuxia in the novel.
And my heart felt as if it had been emptied. Fortunately, this feeling does not last long, and the novel will continue to be written, and there must be a good ending.
Some people say that completing a work is like giving birth to one's own child, whether this child is glamorous and ugly; Whether he is successful or unknown, you will love him as always.
The creation of this novel is in ignorance, there is no framework, there is no idea of the novel, there is just a name, "You Owe Me a World", the name was resigned when it was reviewed, so it was changed to "You Owe Me a Life".
The novel was planned to be written in 100,000 words, and a minimum of 300,000 words was required when signing the contract, so I wrote it head-on. It is precisely because of this word count requirement that you can tap a person's potential, make you self-disciplined, and make you persist for 146 days.
In this way, I didn't understand the routine at all, and I didn't even have the most basic novel framework and outline, so I started writing just by relying on my own creative enthusiasm, and the new book was on the shelves for a month, ranking 44th on the newcomer list, which increased my determination to write it even more.
In the process of writing, there is only one main line, setting the beginning and end point for yourself, the character settings in it, the characters appearing, and the development of the story are all free to follow your own inspiration and ideas, and sometimes even today's task is completed, and tomorrow you don't know what to write.
However, when I woke up in the morning, I had a glass of soy milk, some cereal, and six air-dried blackcurrants, and I began to think about what I was going to write.
When you type the first word on the screen, you forget everything, even who you are and where you are.
It is not until the end of your writing that you will see the window, or the sun is shining, or the rain is still raining, and the snowflakes flying all over the sky will pull you back to reality, or happy, or sad, and happy!
……

There are some things that you can't control, as the old saying goes, people's lives are destined.

He thought that he would be happy like this in this life, and when the truth was revealed, he would be filled with anger and humiliation.

Luo Chuchu and Yang Siyuan are the only happy couple in the novel, life is impermanent, but they are god-like existences, Yang Siyuan held Luo Chuchu in the palm of his hand and spoiled him for a lifetime.
Regarding love, when love comes, no one can stop it. Love is the appearance of flowers, and the turnover has been the same as when I first saw it, I like this, the same trust, clean love.
Regarding marriage, marriage is never a matter of two people, marriage is a matter of one person, you just have to be yourself. Just like people who can't swim, it's useless to change to more pools.
Divorce is like a tree, the leaves have withered, the branches have been removed, and only the bare body remains on the surface, but those rhizomes that go deep into the ground, if uprooted, are not a disaster for the earth and for the tree itself.
About suffering, suffering is a stepping stone on the road of life, life is a process of continuous growth, life gives you suffering and setbacks, just to let you know your true self. Those wisdom, courage, tenacity, strength, will be hidden in suffering, as long as you open the door of suffering, these graces will follow, suffering, is a spirit with makeup.
Regarding impermanence, human life is impermanent, and only change is the only constant in this world. From the vicissitudes of life, the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers, to a person, a microorganism, all the time, everything in this world is changing, accepting suffering, accepting loss, accepting leaving, and facing it calmly is the most rational attitude towards impermanence.
There is no derailment in the novel, no third party, no vicious bad guys, some are just persistent for love, playing some little tricks, but causing big mistakes, persisting for love, designing conflicts, strengthening the sense of substitution, and the impermanence of fate, no one can stop it.
All positive things are worth writing, and kindness is the most dazzling light in human nature.
