Letter to you

This is a letter to you, and I originally planned to write it when I was going to survey the sky and enter the boutique.

But by chance, today I saw another question in Zhihu to evaluate Chixin, so I wrote this letter in advance.

Forgive me for not having time to rephrase the wording, just move the original text of the answer to Zhihu. Because if I don't write it again, the update the day after tomorrow will be in danger......

But believe me.

————

The question is [A year has passed, how can the work "Red Heart Survey the Sky" be fairly evaluated. 】

The full text of my answer is as follows:

Thank you for your care and love for me.

But I didn't want to answer that question. There are three reasons for this.

For one thing, I really can't objectively evaluate my work, and I prefer every word I write. My evaluation of my work does not have any objective value. If I really want to say it, it's the same sentence from a year ago - [The only thing I know for sure is that I will type every word with my heart, and I can't be sure if they will be loved. I can be sure of my efforts, I can't be sure of my gains. 】

To this day, I'm still not sure if it will be loved by more people, and I can't be sure if I'm going to get it.

But I think that I have proved my dedication and hard work in a year's time, 1.8 million words.

Second, I'm afraid of such problems. Needless to say, I was really scared. When I was asked to answer the question a year ago, I had just written five chapters, and all three of the answers to that question were blown.

I was very weak-hearted, so I quickly put it down and wrote an article with sincere fear, but I didn't expect that after the article was sent, I found that when I wrote the article, there were already a bunch of criticisms.

I was impressed by [this article can be signed and I lose] [This is my son's level in elementary school. [I only have bells and whistles, and I can't write a story at all], and there are those who teach me to use punctuation one by one.

I've been writing for a few years, and to be honest, I've never been "criticized" like this. I was uncomfortable and miserable. This pain lasted for a long time, and I couldn't sleep for a while, thinking, am I really that bad? Is all the praise and recognition I have received fake?

I have always firmly believed in myself, but that painful experience, it is also true.

Thirdly, I write very slowly. Readers who chase Chixin know that the most common evaluation of the chapter is always "very short...... When I used to write about entities, I basically wrote when I felt it. Maybe only three or four days a week, 2,000 words a day.

After writing the Red Heart Survey, at first it was two shifts from Monday to Friday, and a single shift on weekends, and then it slowly became two shifts and 4,000 words a day. Although it is also the bottom level of online writers, in fact, I feel that I am already squeezing my energy extremely.

Why writing is so slow, I can explain it to the reader here.

I usually have to enter that situation when I write, and I have to put myself in that emotion in order to be able to write the plot more smoothly. I usually sit in front of the computer for more than half an hour, going through various plots in my head until I find the perfect fit for me. After writing a paragraph, there will be a feeling that the mind has been hollowed out.

The second is that I have compulsive compulsion to write, not only can I not read typos, but readers who are naked and surveyive may be able to find out. In my next two sentences, the same word will hardly appear. This is the after-effect of writing poetry, and I think it affects the sense of language. If the previous sentence is used, you have to think of different words in the next sentence.

I often struggle with a name for a long time, the names of people and places, and they always want to fit the situation.

I also have my own paranoid demands. In this world, not only every country and sect has different systems, different national conditions, and politics, but in this book, even each city is different, and I will compile their history, customs, and special snacks, even if they are not used sometimes. The reason why I write this way is because in the real world, every city is different.

Because of these broken habits, I write very slowly.

I have time to write an article, but I can refine a chapter. (My daily writing is to write two chapters, and to refine the two chapters the day before yesterday.) )

The hundreds of thousands of followers of Zhihu should also be able to perceive that in the year of writing the Red Heart Survey, I almost completely quit Zhihu. Sometimes I want to write something, but when I think about it, I'm not done yet. can only close Zhihu in a gray way.

For these three reasons, I would have ignored this invitation.

But seeing @Gongsun Xun's answer, I think I should still write something.

Gongsun Xun is my Zhihu attention, because I like his "Covering the Han" very much, and he has a rare heroic spirit.

Back to the question itself, how to fairly evaluate "Red Heart Survey"?

I think what I can say is-

It is a work that has poured my great heart and soul into it, it is an explanation of my own Xianxia dream, it bears witness to my strength and vulnerability, makes me softer, and makes me stronger.

As for how this work will be, I think only time will have to be left to it.

Let's look back in 10 years.

And what I want to say is that I have written it until now, because I didn't understand the rules of online texts at the beginning, and I didn't know how to get the new book period. It's streaking on the shelf.,The only big recommendation on the shelves so far.,It's only a million words with a limit of free.,At that time, it happened to be free of charge......

Except for a leader reader of the alliance of the big guy of the love Sui to help me talk to the love Sui, I don't have any other py. Readers keep saying Ah Shen you go to py, good books to promote, but I'm really socially incompetent.

Probably the only thing I'm good at and passionate about is writing.

It can be written step by step from sixty to the present, there are six alliance leaders (two of them reward three alliances), and the monthly pass can finally hover around the starting point of two hundred.

I would like to thank my readers the most.

I'll never forget that, in the midst of all the scolding, Uriel rewarded me with the first alliance leader, and he strengthened my confidence in myself.

I would like to thank Huahua, the leader of the alliance, as a female frequency author and a big guy who buys a house by himself with manuscript fees, for giving me a lot of guidance on online articles.

I would like to thank Chen Zeqing for following Chixin throughout his studies in the United States. Once asked me if it was okay to add 10,000 plus one, I didn't dare to respond, I really couldn't add it.

I want to thank Chai Chai, he has a bad temper, but he can listen to reason. I rewarded the leader of the alliance and brought me a slow west.

I want to thank Slow West, a living dictionary of plots, every time the reader has something that he doesn't remember, he can blurt out. Some of them I have to flip myself...... Thanks to Slow West for giving the most energy to the book Red Heart Survey.

Except for his girlfriend, it's me.

I would like to thank Camellia sinensis, who was the reader I followed when I wrote a short story. It's not been a year or two, it's the whole college time. After it was put on the shelves, I built a building to seek alliances, but I didn't expect Chixin to be so unpopular...... It took so long to build a thousand floors.

At this point, I seem to have completely deviated from the original question.

But it doesn't seem to be. The fair evaluation is that the book of Surveying the Heavens with a Naked Heart is just my insistence, and it is difficult to write it until now. It is the support and love of so many readers that makes me firm.

I still remember a reader giving me a tip.

He said sorry, he had no money, the book was good, but he could only tip five dollars.

He ate four dollars for dinner, but gave me a tip of five dollars.

(There is a screenshot here, which should be available in the book review area.) )

I saw that review and my eyes were sore.

I told my mom how much he loved this book, how could I not write it?

How could I not write it?

I want to thank too many people, thank you to the readers who have followed the online article since the entity, thank you to the readers who silently vote for me every day, thank you to the readers who praise me every day, and thank you to the readers who seriously helped me recommend this book to my friends......

I remembered again.

It didn't take long for the red heart to be serialized. I lost my hair, I was anxious, I couldn't sleep all night, I was tormented.

Some readers said, come on, sooner or later, you will trample those sunspots under your feet.

A few days ago, another reader said this.

But my answer has not changed.

I said, I am not writing to defeat anyone, not to prove it to anyone.

At first, I just wanted to write a big book in a complete and unfettered way, writing about a real world in my heart, just like I said in the introduction, this is the world of Xianxia, welcome to come.

I still am.

I don't want to knock anyone down.

Resentment can't get me far.

What has sustained me from the beginning to the present and will continue into the future is the love you have given me.

Thanks again.
