It’s about to be put on the shelves.
Let’s have a chat.
The first time I came into contact with online literature was when I was very young. I must have been in elementary school at that time. I had a cousin who was a few years older than me. He often went to Internet cafes, so he read a lot. He would tell me, Telling those stories, telling "The Legend of Xiaobing", "Zhu Xian" or "Piaomiao Journey", that was also the first time I knew that in addition to Chinese textbooks, there were such stories, and they were so interesting.
After that, when I actually read online articles, it would probably be in junior high school, such as "Tomb of the Gods", "Star Transformation", "Beast Blood Boils", "Lotus Treasure Mirror", "Blasphemy", "Qin Emperor", "The First Chaos in History", etc... I still remember that there was a time when I was addicted to watching "Stars Change" and read all night, so I didn't do homework for several days. The class teacher took me to squat in front of the podium to make up for it, which made the whole class Saw the joke.
Later, with the passage of time, I was lucky enough to catch up on the updates of "Douluo Dalu" and "Fights Break the Sphere", and I also stayed up all night for the passion of "Infinite Horror", "Chen Ergou's Monster Life", "Amber" "Sword", "Rebirth of Thieves", "Shading the Sky", "Immortal Rebellion", "Sister-in-law", "Tang Brick", "Arcane Throne", "Full-time Master", "Iron Throne" "Ace Evolution" ", and so on... Those wonderful stories once made me linger, even forgetting to sleep and eat. My eyes stared at the screen for a long time, and I would get a bit of ghosting when I went out to read things. But I still couldn't help it, I still wanted to read it, I still wanted to read it. Where did those wonderful stories end?
It was during this process that I gradually came to know the starting point.
If the starting point has any special meaning to me, it is probably growth. As I have grown up, on my journey, even when I was young and didn’t even know the starting point, these stories from the starting point have always been with me and have never been absent.
And now, I'm here myself.
It would be a bit shameless to say that I am a newcomer to online writing, but at the starting point, I am indeed a newcomer. When I think that the wonderful stories that have been with me for half my life came from here, and when I think that the authors who wrote these wonderful stories updated them here, I feel a little nervous, and I can't speak even a single sentence.
Just like now, when I type this speech, my hands are shaking.
Could I really write a book in a place like this? Can I really tell a story here? Can I really show my inferior craftsmanship to everyone in a place like this?
I once questioned myself.
Whenever I see the masterpieces by famous writers on the list, I can't help but feel ashamed. Compared with the masterful prose of my predecessors, my meager craftsmanship is nothing more than a primary school student. There is still a lot to learn, and I still know too little. But to put this little trick at the starting point is still a bit embarrassing and laughable.
Especially when I saw some book friends talking about enlightenment and the like, I felt deeply ashamed. I knew how much I weighed in my heart. I had little talent, little knowledge, and poor craftsmanship. It was not easy to make a living, so what? Dare to be wishful thinking, and even talk about preaching... If you can write something interesting, so that everyone can enjoy it in their free time after dinner, it is already a blessing in life.
So here, I want to seriously say thank you for everyone’s encouragement and support.
Even though there are stumbles along the way, every time I see those book friends in the background who are enthusiastically voting and even giving rewards, I see those readers who are active in the book review area and in the comments, and I see that everyone is willing to listen to me telling this story. If you go on, you will feel a little more courage out of thin air.
You always have to have courage and you always have to face it.
Just like when I was boxing or practicing swordsmanship, before I learn a skill, I have to get beaten. I always have to have the courage to be beaten and face it first. As for storytelling, it's probably similar. You have to stand up and really face the tension and confusion before you know how to punch this punch and how to swing this sword.
Just like those old memes made by some old friends, the road is at your feet, right?
But now, it's time for me to walk on the road with everyone.
It's just that there will inevitably be some stumbles in the process.
It made everyone laugh.
It is said that the fathers of the country can tolerate me and will not cause evil in the world.
That's probably what I'm talking about.
Then, I would also like to thank my editor, Teacher Transparent. Teacher Transparent also gave me a lot of help during the whole writing process. I always feel embarrassed to bother others every now and then. In addition, I would also like to thank my good brother Ziyue, and Teacher Fengyue who was willing to let me steal his NetEase Cloud playlist to get a feel for it, as well as the brothers who have helped me along the way. Thank you all for your encouragement and support.
And everyone in front of the screen.
I will eat a bowl of Dukang at the end of my studies. I would like to pay tribute to all the parents who live in food and clothing. Thank you very much.
I’m so verbose, I’m too embarrassed to ask for a subscription. If you think this story is interesting, then it’s a matter of course, and just keep reading.
So at the end,
Hold your fists and hold your hands in front of you.
I wish you all,
To attract wealth and treasure, you will make a lot of money every day.
Thank you Du Kang.
