Hello everyone, I am A Clockwork Orange Dream.
Let’s talk some gossip first. For this new book, I prepared on and off for nearly ten months, from setting the idea to the outline. At that time, I had more than a dozen ideas, and finally wrote six chapters, which totaled about 200,000 words... Of course It's not normal, and in many cases it can even be said to be pure mental exhaustion.
The reason why this happens is, on the one hand, that I have difficulty choosing and procrastinating; and the other, most critical reason, is that I am obsessed with implementing the experience gained in my last attempt in the new book. .
Regular readers may know that I am basically an author who tries to take a big step forward with every book I write, and this time is no exception. Moreover, I also have clear goals:
In the plan, what needs to be exercised in the new book is the grasp of reading fluency and plot rhythm, and the grasp of readers' psychological feedback. I hope to make my work more popular while retaining my unique style that attracts a fixed audience.
In addition, I also hope that one day: when I write a work that satisfies me and get good market feedback, I can confidently say: This moment is a sign of the formation of my personal style and "my flow" When first formed.
In the past few years, I have been wandering in anxiety; on the one hand, it is because I have graduated many years ago and am getting older, and I have a sense of oppression brought by the real environment around me; on the other hand, it is difficult for me to improve my writing speed, and I have too many too many things to write. There are so many stories that I want to share with people, but I always feel that I am unable to do so.
In order to face my anxiety head on, I sincerely hope that the day will come soon when I can stand up tall.
…
...As for the results of this attempt, everyone can see it now, but the results cannot be said to be very good.
Well, actually it’s not very disappointing.
Although I was very anxious when I started the book, I became less anxious as I wrote it. Although the new book period is very important, my attention began to be distracted during the writing process. Now I even feel that I have already settled, and I feel like the world is in my mind. Open and promising.
Without expectations, there is no harm. I feel that sometimes my thoughts and burdens are too heavy. According to personal experience, no matter what - since this story is what I like, I must tell it before my enthusiasm runs out.
Finally, let me use a few fragmentary descriptions to describe the overall picture of this book:
…
[All in all, this will be a love story describing the early love of adolescent junior high school students;
This is a "myth" that takes place in a seaside town, a delusional heroic drama about boys and girls——
The summer that year was so long, it seemed to them that it would never end. 】
