White water interview
When Longzi notified that he would come to an interview, I realized that it had been more than half a year since I posted the article at Qidian.
I recalled the past six months carefully and felt a lot of emotion.
I have long forgotten what the novel I read for the first time, and I only know that the first time I read a foreign fantasy novel was "Dragon Gun".
That illusory and mysterious world attracted me at once, and I fell in love with fantasy literature from then on.
After watching "The Chronicle of Dragons", "Dark Elf" and "Harry Potter", I also had the intention of writing my own novels, but I never put this idea into action.
In 2003, I watched "The Dead" and "The Dead Holy Magic" and the strong desire to write novels came back.
Finally, in May 2005, the book "Dark Apprentice" had a simple conception and prologue.
Because of lack of experience and insufficient literary skills, "Dark Apprentice" has had a serious mistake from the very beginning - there is no outline.
As the number of readers continued to increase, I began to realize that this was an absolutely fatal mistake. Although I later added the outline, many places had defects and errors. I was very helpless and had to prepare for the overhaul.
There is another unbearable reason - there is no manuscript saved.
I have talked to others about this and the answer I got was, "Can your book still be written until now?"
I also find it a bit strange. I have been writing until now?
Due to work, all the only manuscripts I had at hand were posted as early as the third day after uploading. From then on, a new novices named Bai Kaishui fell into a hell of rushing manuscripts day after day.
In such an environment, the quality of the article can be imagined. There are countless typos and loopholes. Although I quit my work later, it still cannot make up for the already bad things that have occurred.
The burnout caused by insufficient writing experience, I can't code 500 words on the computer every day, and the number of bottlenecks in which my family does not support me in writing makes me very depressed. If it weren't for those readers who have always supported me, maybe I would have stopped writing under the pressure of various troubles.
I am really grateful to the many readers who have been reading books. Without them, there wouldn’t be the current "Dark Apprentice". This book was just a casual work that I had at first, but now it has become a part of my life.
Whether it is one or two years, or ten or twenty years, the writing experience during this period will become an indelible memory in my heart.
Some people say that female authors are more likely to have the opportunity to recommend books than male authors, and I do not agree with this statement.
At the starting point, the proportion of male readers is much higher than that of female readers. Many people lose their interest in reading when they see it as a female author, let alone female characters.
Every time I recommend someone will leave a message, not reading the heroine's book, which really hits a female author's enthusiasm for writing.
Are gender differences really that important? This is a question I often think about.
Although my book has many flaws and updates are often delayed (ah... everyone, please forgive me. The updates during this period are really slow), but more than half of the male readers have already made me feel very relieved.
No matter how many defects the heroine has, as long as she is accepted by these readers who read the book, it is enough.
Chapter completed!
