Bit by bit about writing a novel (1)

I don't know if the people of Yantai are different from my compatriots in other places, but in the past few years, I have traveled back and forth to three or four districts from taking the shuttle bus to driving it myself, and I have also come into contact with many people. Most of the people I know, if you are a reader, almost never read YY novels, I often see people holding books only in automobiles, fashion, finance, digest, supernatural, story clubs and other magazines, even if you read novels, you always read some more realistic ones.

So I heard a lot of friends who are engaged in online writing talk about the popular YY novels now, and everyone loves to read them, which are funny, lighthearted, and cool. So I was surprised. Of course, it's also possible that I'm more old-fashioned, so the circle of people I contact is divided into groups, and they are not very fashionable, and I can't accept the part of YY novels that are too YY.

Therefore, it is often seen that some traditional novel authors complain on the Internet: "Some of the current YY novels are too much, and it looks so disgusting!" No connotation at all! Immediately afterwards, he was besieged by a large number of book friends and YY novel authors, and the more common reason was that ""Zizhi Tongjian" and "Historical Records" have connotations, you go and see them!" ”

I don't like to eat bad food in the canteen, and the canteen master doesn't have to give advice on eating golden agate; If you want to read novels with a slightly lighter degree of YY, it doesn't mean that you have to read "Zizhi Tongjian", and you don't like novels with no connotation, and it doesn't mean that you like books that are all philosophies. Different genres are inconvenient to compare at all, which is a typical sophistry.

Indeed, in the age of commercialization, writing is to a considerable extent for the reader, and it is true that one cannot be left alone. But it doesn't seem that the author should write a novel completely for the sake of pursuing a cool word in a way that is difficult for traditional people like me to accept.

Although I can't represent the people of Yantai, the people I know, but whoever reads novels, has never thought that too YY novels are good.

Even if it's just a "cool" word, from this word alone, my life group, including relatives, friends, classmates, colleagues, etc., doesn't think it's anything cool.

Some netizens told me that now the pace of life is fast, the work pressure is high, and the ordinary people at the bottom are squeezed from all sides and live a miserable life, so after a day of running around and tired, I will feel particularly cool and comfortable to watch on the Internet that it is also a poor little person with no background who has no background to put down the global beauty by obtaining magical power, getting the world's assets, mastering the most powerful power in the universe, and dominating the endless story of the ancient and modern future.

I tried to see it that way, but unfortunately, no one in my life circle, including me, felt this way.

I dare to say that quite a lot of grassroots colleagues and book friends who can have time to spare code words are at least white-collar workers who have their own work computers or home computers, and even many of them have no worries about food and clothing, and their families are wealthy, and they rarely worry about life. As for me, along with my life circle, I am a front-line aquaculture worker who works hard in the workshops of coastal farms and at sea, waking up early and staying up late, enduring the biting cold and dampness, and enduring the extremely tiring physical exertion every day. Many friends who work in the assembly line may feel that they are only as tired as the assembly line, but we don't know, it is not just as simple as staring at the compact work all the time, the breeding workers in the coastal third-tier cities can be said to be the hardest people, not to mention how many hours a day of work and the harsh working environment, just talk about the fish breeding workshop, which is relatively sea cucumber and kelp, the most brisk workshop, in this workshop, it needs to include pulling out wells, carrying sacks, plastering cement, mechanical and electrical maintenance, washing all day long, adjusting bait, feeding, Routine work such as changing the water, selling fish every few days, continuously weighing, picking colors, and selecting 50 fish of the same size to put into the cage, it takes more than 500 times to carry out this kind of cage in a day, not including other work. Nowadays, a part of the property has been added, such as decoration, plumbing, plumbing, sanitation, driver work for going out to purchase goods, writing summary of various attendance documents, selling finished aquatic products, and some accounting work, going to various districts to file taxes, wearing dirty work clothes every day, everyone avoids on the bus, and driving the unit's car over the mountains and mountains, which is as dirty as work clothes. I was afraid of soiling my car after getting off work late at night, so I changed my clothes before getting in the car, and I couldn't hide the strong smell of sea tide. The actual monthly salary has increased from 800 yuan during the internship period five years ago to nearly 2,000 yuan now, although it is not enough for half a month's expenses of others, but in my opinion, it is a rare income.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am a coolie, but I never complain. First of all, I wouldn't think that the boss gave too little money. In today's era of rampant real estate, how many people insist on doing business? If I were to be the boss, I would probably give less, because there is hardly much profit in it, and the small bosses of private enterprises are very hard, and they are squeezed more than us workers from all sides. To be bold and clear, the argument that there is no surplus value is not entirely that the workers feed the bosses, but to a large extent that the bosses feed the workers. If the worker does not have the operating platform and various machinery provided by the boss, his labor will not be transformed into any value. If you are the boss and give someone a bite to eat, he thinks the food is cold while eating, and the value he creates for you is not significantly higher than that of others, then can you not feel cold? If it is really based on the survival of the fittest, I am afraid that everyone will call it too cruel to eat the weak, but I don't think it's fair.

What do you mean by saying all this? It's saying that my life circle and I are all poor workers at the bottom of the city, but we never like to read too many YY novels and never think they are "cool". Because of the propaganda inside, if you see something that is not pleasing to the eye, you will do it, and if you see what you like, you will put it down, and you will be domineering and domineering, which is not cool. We are not constrained by any feudal traditional etiquette, and we don't eat the ancients, but we think that the protagonist can have a character, but he must be principled, decent and upward, even if he is a timid person who is afraid of things and knows how to protect himself, that is also a real person. We never had any sense of substitution, and it was very cool to feel that we were the protagonists to take out the boss who paid us very little, the teacher who criticized us too harshly, and the idea of dismissing anyone who had no respect for us in the slightest.

Instead, we like to watch realistic TV series, movies, and novels with themes like Survival – Migrant Workers. We can best appreciate the bitterness of the same little people, and only in this way can we resonate, instead of envying and worshipping those lumpenproletarians who once came to power, but did worse than the previous generation of rulers.

One cannot indulge in principles and abandon goodness at any time, including when writing and reading novels. I know that many of my friends will find this view hypocritical and shameless. In fact, we are all laymen, we also watch those films, we also like to encounter very unreasonable news events and scold a couple of sentences, and we will be even more angry at the irresponsible cover up of those guys who take money to post. But my characters are never allowed to appear this kind of person, fantasy and the like, we don't understand, but if I write urban novels, time-traveling historical novels, traditional martial arts novels, supernatural thriller novels, and post-apocalyptic science fiction novels, I will strictly follow this principle. Whether human nature is good or evil, I don't know, but people must worship goodness.

Some people also say that everyone loves to watch it now, and this is the trend! This is a hobby for the vast majority of people!

Maybe, but it's all like this, it's not necessarily right, it's not necessarily right. There are many mistakes in history, and most people are confused by the game.

If that's a trend, it's a bad trend. The common view that "people hate special classes just because they are not special classes, and people hate power and wealth because they have no power and are not rich" is really worrying.

In fact, I don't have to risk the world's condemnation to say things that make everyone unhappy, after all, we are just ordinary grassroots authors, and we have not yet succeeded, and we are not qualified to criticize anything.

In one year, I will be thirty years old. I'm a low-level coolie, but I'm quite fulfilled and content. I just write what I like, and I also write to those who understand this kind of novel and love this kind of novel, and I never think about success, and I don't deliberately pursue it. I'm not a writer, I'm not a writer, I'm just a writing enthusiast who isn't even an amateur.

I am a person who loves to tell kind stories.

There may still be intrigue and even unimaginable terrible conspiracies in the story, but evil cannot prevail over good, and the final result will always be bright.
