Chapter 452 The Moment Of Madness
Chapter 452 The Moment Of Madness
It’s finally the last day of November, and the busy 2023 is finally... Oh, no, it seems like there’s still a month left?
This chapter went crazy.
I shared my writing experience on a platform before. At first I just wanted to write a few sentences, like a fairy guiding the way, concisely and to the point. But in the end, I wrote that I had an occupational disease, and I lost a lot of words out of control. It was really Yes, it would be uncomfortable if I didn’t keep the word count down.
As expected, having too many words is king. That post became a little popular and was probably viewed by a few thousand people. It was a niche area on a niche platform. The popularity of a few thousand people was equivalent to everyone knowing about it, which was very rewarding for me. Get some sense of accomplishment that is not worth a dime.
No, it’s still valuable.
After reading the post, a netizen suddenly messaged me privately and asked if I could be interviewed? After the interview, I was given a cup of milk tea.
I said yes, who doesn’t want to drink milk tea? What interview exactly?
She sent me a bilingual informed consent form. It turned out that she was a graduate student at the University of Bristol and was about to write her graduation thesis. The topic of the thesis was about Chinese online novels and she needed to be interviewed by an insider.
I was horrified. In my mind, the University of Buenos Aires is a well-established and powerful university. Why did you come here to study online novels? The God of War ordered a hundred thousand soldiers to rush towards you. Is it really normal for you to say this in front of a group of old professors at a solemn graduation defense? So is the world really full of grass-roots teams?
So I accepted an interview and tried to talk about a lot of interesting things, such as the combination of popularity and literary significance, the historical prototype of online novels from Eastern and Western classics, the vitality of folklore and popular novels, and the impact of changes in social entertainment on The influence of the mainstream style of novels, the similarities and differences between Western commercial novels, small life light novels and Chinese online novels, etc.
In short, the occupational disease has occurred again, and I can’t help but lose the word count during interviews.
After finishing the lecture, I suddenly found that it was quite impressive. It was a bit like an academic paper that was not human-like. The current version of artificial intelligence could not at least write such an abstract interview. I could coax the foreign professor who didn’t know the truth to ask questions. Not big.
The milk tea is so delicious.
While drinking milk tea, I flipped through the interview text with endless interest, admiring my superb bragging skills.
As I was flipping through it, I noticed a problem, and my guard suddenly broke.
This question is about my daily routine and the impact of long-term writing on my body and life.
The impact is too great.
I stayed up late every day, updating every day until midnight. After I finished writing, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't fall asleep until one or two in the middle of the night.
My hands hurt when typing, and I worry about tenosynovitis or some random joint disease. Not to mention the neck. If you don’t have cervical vertebra problems, why would you say that you are a book writer?
My physical strength is getting weaker and weaker. The temperature has dropped recently. I went out wearing a down jacket and my whole body became weak from the cold. I am not at all as strong as I once was, kicking and kicking all morning. Sometimes I find that I have a tendency to become a fairy. The specific feeling is that I am drunk even without drinking, and my body is light and airy, as if I am about to fly.
My colleague chatted with me this morning and said he was vomiting blood.
I was shocked. This colleague was the same age as me, lived a well-behaved life, had no bad habits, and had no family history. Why did he vomit blood? Shouldn't vomiting blood be something only in movies?
The colleague replied that he had been sick for the past two days and had diarrhea for a few days. After returning home, he vomited after eating every morning. Until this morning, he suddenly vomited a few drops of blood. It was probably because he had vomited too much in the past few days.
I'm a little panicked. It seems that health care must be put on the agenda.
For a long time, I have mainly relied on health supplements to maintain my health. I take a lot of colorful health supplements every day. It is not a problem to live to 200 years old, at least that is what the publicity says.
But this is obviously self-deception. Staying up late cannot be restored by relying on liver-protecting tablets. Coenzyme Q10 cannot repair the heart when you are yang. Vitamins are effective but not as effective as vegetables and fruits. Astaxanthin, fish oil and the like can be taken or not. Nothing to feel.
Especially recently, my eyesight has declined significantly. Previously, when I stood at the door of the study and looked at the bookshelf, the titles of the books were clearly visible, but now they are completely blurry, and they are becoming blurry day by day. The blurryness is so great that two books may even stick together into one. If this continues, I I have to wear glasses, but I really don’t want to wear them because they always fog up in the winter.
All in all, I have to maintain my health.
The first step in maintaining good health is to reduce your workload.
This book has been open for several months, with almost three chapters a day and six to seven thousand words of updates every day. For a skilled veteran, this amount of updates is nothing, but after all, I am new to this industry and have little experience. , this amount of updates is really tiring, and I feel like my life is at risk if it continues at this frequency.
Therefore, I plan to take a break in December and reduce my work intensity.
The tentative workload for December is as follows: two updates a day on weekdays and three updates a day on weekends.
Because this book is for students, most of the people reading it must be students. Students should be busy doing homework and don’t have time to read novels at night, right? I only have time to read novels on weekends.
So I update less on weekdays and more on weekends. Do you readers think this is appropriate? OK, I heard your call, it’s appropriate, thank you all! Thank you so much!
When are the winter holidays for major schools? Winter break in January?
So I tentatively plan to only take a break in December. In January, my physical condition should be better, and I will resume three updates a day.
It’s the end of the year, so I’m giving myself a short annual vacation.
When I read this chapter, I was already looking forward to the annual vacation.
I have to adjust my work and rest, try to go to bed before 12 o'clock, and get up at 7 o'clock in the morning, so that my internal organs can relax, and my heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys will give me a thumbs up. No, I have to remove the kidneys. My kidneys are not weak. , it’s absolutely true.
I have to go to the gym. I think back then I was someone who could do more than a dozen pull-ups. Yesterday I tried two pull-ups and I couldn’t even pull them up. It was too stretched and it was so embarrassing. I want to become the kind of person who is very muscular. Clearly a strong man!
I have to read to recharge my batteries. As a writer, I have to read from morning to night. Writing is a process of taking things out from the stomach. Last year I read 187 paper books, and this year I have only read 107 so far. I have to seize the time to catch up in the last December, and try to read dozens of them next month, so that I will not have enough reading at the end of the year. As for being too ugly.
I have three walls of bookshelves at home. I have bought more than two thousand books since I started writing. At the current rate, it will take me ten years to read them all. It is too slow. It is said that when Jiang Nan was studying at Peking University, he went to the bookstore at the school gate and read novels without any knowledge. He could finish two books in one day for free. This kind of reading speed and energy really made me envious.
I have to watch movies to recharge my batteries. I used to watch two or three movies a day in my spare time, dozens of movies a month. But in recent months, I haven’t even had time to watch movies. This month I only went to the cinema to watch "The Point of the Knife." 》.
In short, I am going to reduce my workload a little in December and take a breather.
Maybe if you write it more calmly, you can write it more interestingly, right?
There are two more chapters tonight, I'll try to finish them before twelve o'clock.
