Chapter 190: Do what you like, make a promise

"What are you thinking?" Miao Han asked me softly.

"I've found that the feelings they confide in you," I said earnestly, "are very good love stories to write!" ”

"Then this love story," Miao Han asked with interest, "what do you think is a good title?" ”

"It's called "Elm Pimple of Love"!" I laughed.

"And the story of the last North Drifting Meow," Miao Han asked with a smile, "You haven't said the title yet!" ”

"That's called "Intimate Dumplings"!" I thought to myself, "This kind of love story is suitable for publication in the Story Club!" ”

"Why?" Miao Han asked curiously.

"Do you know the idiom 'do what you like'?" I asked with a smile.

"I don't know," Miao Han said angrily, "I've never heard of it, so start talking about yours!" ”

"You're all angry like this, then you must know," I smiled, "as the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.'" 'To contribute to any media, you must first be a confidant, weigh the weight of your own manuscript, and have a correct evaluation of your manuscript. If you don't even have an accurate and objective understanding of your own manuscript, and you don't even know your own 'bottom', you will be able to succeed if you act rashly and blindly submit your manuscript. Secondly, you need to know the other side, and you need to be clear about the media you are investing in, such as the content, features, and even the editor's text preferences. Only by making an objective and true analysis of all aspects related to the media you invest in, can you figure out what they think, what they like, and 'which bite you need to feed'. Otherwise, the result of blind submission is self-defeat, or half the effort. ”

"For example," Miao Han said with a smile on her face, "or tell a story!" ”

"You know my routine," I said with a playful laugh, "and I'll tell you one!" ”

"Tell me!" Miao Han urged.

"Then I'll take two poems I published in Xinhua Daily Weekend in 1990 as examples!" I said solemnly, "At that time, there was Xinhua Daily in our school library, and I could often see a lot of short poems in that weekend edition, and it seemed that the editor of that edition liked that kind of short poems very much, so I sent two short poems I wrote to the newspaper by registered mail, and the results were published quickly!" ”

"What poem?" Miao Han asked with interest.

"Landscape idyll," I said, began to chant in a pretentious manner, "the first poem, titled 'Homesickness': The rice flowers are fragrant/The road home is very far away/The frogs are crowing every night/The frogs are singing like a cup of nostalgia/The night is drunk with the wanderer's dream." The second poem, titled "Homesickness": Wandering duckweed/Floating in the embrace of the water/Floating white clouds/Floating home that can't float out of the sky/Wanderer who goes away/The kite that flies from the pupils of your hometown/No matter where you drift away/Your heart is always tied to your hometown. ”

"Huh?" Miao Han exclaimed, "How old were you in 1990?" ”

"Just graduated from elementary school!" I smiled.

"You're such a genius!" Miao Han smiled and said, "You can write poetry at such a young age!" ”

"At that time, a poem was a one-yuan manuscript fee," I said seriously, "and these two poems earned me 13 yuan!" If you put it until now, whether you can publish it or not is two different things, and you can't even earn this 13 yuan! This is the sorrow of poetry, so I don't write poetry at all now! ”

"At that time, 13 yuan was worth a little money!" Miao Han thought about it.

"That's right!" I smiled, "Later, when I went to middle school, the monthly manuscript fee I earned in newspapers and magazines was much higher than the salary of our Chinese teachers!" ”

"Are we off topic?" Miao Han asked with a smile.

"A little bit of a run," I said with a smile, "let's pick up on the theme of 'Doing what you like'!" In fact, love is the same, you can only get it by doing what you like! ”

"How do you understand that?" Miao Han asked curiously.

"In love, I pretend to do what I like," I said, "is to grasp the other person's temperament, hobbies, and desires, and to think about what he wants, and to do what he likes, so that the other person feels naturally happy and convinced!" In this way, the other party is attracted by the use of interest or interests, and the other party is willing to pay for you and promise you with her body, and the 'principle of guarding yourself like jade' that she has always adhered to is not called a principle! ”

"I won't discuss this with you," Miao Han said with a slight annoyance, "Can you lie on the railing and see if the restaurant downstairs is still open?" ”

"Don't look," I smiled, "it's only past 10 o'clock, if it doesn't open, let's go somewhere else to eat!" ”

"Okay," Miao Han smiled slightly, "Okay, take me to the mall tomorrow!" ”

"I know," I said with a grin, "I'll vote for you like for the media!" ”

Miao Han smiled.

I don't seem to be smiling, and I am smiling.
