    "Write a novel?" Huo Xing frowned slightly, a little surprised by Tang Xiaosheng's answer, "Are you kidding?" Tang Xiaosheng said: "I'm really planning to write a novel." Huo Xing was dubious: "You can write a novel?" Tang Xiaosheng  Xiaosheng shook his head: "No, but you can learn." Huo Xing was a little speechless. He looked at Tang Xiaosheng like an idiot and said: "You really don't mind the trouble. Why write a novel if you have nothing to do? In today's economy and society, how can you write novels?  Future? Come and do sales with me, then you can make money!" Tang Xiaosheng smiled lightly.  The reason why he decided to write novels was not a temporary impulse, but stemmed from long-term depression.  Although he has been homeless for nearly five months, Tang Xiaosheng's depression has not improved. He always dreams about Yue'er, and whenever he wakes up from his dream, he feels particularly empty inside.  Tang Xiaosheng chose to write novels to cure his depression.  He remembered that in Freud¡¯s analysis of dreams, he once conducted a detailed psychological analysis of people¡¯s dreams.  People's dreams originate from subconscious desires. When a person keeps having the same dream, it means that his subconscious is suppressing some kind of strong desire. It is precisely because this desire cannot be vented that people can't.  Will always dream.  Tang Xiaosheng carefully analyzed his situation and felt that he always dreamed about Yue'er, probably because he missed Yue'er so much. The strong longing formed a suppressed emotion, lurking in his subconscious and in his dreams.  Only then was she always occupied by Yue'er.  And the best way to change this situation is.  It¡¯s about creating art.  According to Freud¡¯s theory about the subconscious, when people¡¯s subconscious desires or desires cannot be vented, this desire or desire can be sublimated, transformed into creative inspiration, and turned into a work.  As for the work, you can say a song, a painting, a statue, a poem, or a novel.  After repeated weighing.  Tang Xiaosheng decided to vent his depressed mood through novels.  He decided to write a novel about Yue'er, and hoped that through this novel, he could get rid of the girl Yue'er's never-ending harassment.     therefore.  Tang Xiaosheng came to the Computer City today not to find a job.  But here to buy a computer.  Now that I have decided to write a novel.  Then obviously a computer is needed for coding.  The price of a computer is still quite high, at least for Tang Xiaosheng at this time.  He now only has 1,700 yuan left in his bank card, and he still relies on this money to live off.  Obviously you can't spend too much money on a computer.  And if you want to buy a computer with the least amount of money, you can only choose to buy a second-hand computer.  In the Computer City, there is a second-hand computer market, where all second-hand computers are sold. Most of these computers are discarded products from Internet cafes or companies. The quality of the computers varies, but the prices are relatively cheap.  Tang Xiaosheng has been working in the Computer City for nearly a year. He naturally knows everything about the situation in the Computer City and knows a lot about the inside story.  He came to the Computer City today to try his best to buy a computer at the lowest price.  After two hours of shopping in the computer city, Tang Xiaosheng successfully bought a computer, which included a computer host, an LCD monitor, a mouse and keyboard, a headset, a 4G USB flash drive and a modem  , which cost him a total of 295 yuan.  Of course, the price of 295 yuan is beyond the reach of ordinary people. If Tang Xiaosheng had not been in the computer city for nearly a year, he would have needed at least 500 yuan to buy this bunch of things.  As the saying goes, nothing good comes cheap.  I bought so many things for only 295 yuan, and the quality can be imagined.  The computer that Tang Xiaosheng bought has an 845 motherboard, an old-fashioned 478-pin Intel Pentium processor, a 256-megabyte memory, a Western Digital hard drive with a capacity of 40 g, and a video memory integrated into the motherboard with a capacity of only  32m.  The brand of the LCD monitor is not wrong. It is from Samsung. However, the product was produced six years ago.  The mouse and keyboard cost 5 yuan a set. As for the headset, it is given for free, which is basically unsold.  As for the USB flash drive and modem, they are also second-hand, 70% new.  Computers of this level have been obsolete for several years. Its configuration is definitely non-mainstream. If you just have some spare money, you can't spend money to buy this pile of garbage.  However, for Tang Xiaosheng, this configuration is enough.  He bought a computer not to play games, nor to use large-scale software, but only to use it for coding.  As long as he can open a word document for coding, he will be satisfied.  After several tests, Tang Xiaosheng found that this computer can open word documents without any pressure, and it seems to have a somewhat smooth feeling. When three word documents are opened at the same time, there is no lag at all.  Tang Xiaosheng once tried to open the KuWo music player after opening Word, but the computer did not work.The machine is really amazing.  Since he bought the computer, Tang Xiaosheng has officially started writing novels.  Before writing, Tang Xiaosheng was a little nervous. He knew almost nothing about novel creation.  He has never written a novel, and has never even read a novel.  After living for so many years, he has never read any masterpieces such as "Journey to the West", "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He has never read any martial arts novels such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Eight Parts of the Dragon".  He has never touched it. As for online novels such as "Fights Break the Sphere", "Star Change", "Mortal Cultivation of Immortality" and other online novels, he has never heard of them.  In the field of novels, Tang Xiaosheng is almost a blank sheet of paper.  With his strength, it is obvious that he is not capable of writing a novel.  If it weren't for Yue'er's constant harassment and his depression becoming more and more serious, Tang Xiaosheng wouldn't have written a novel even if he beat him to death.  "But, since I'm not beaten to death, let's just write about it. It's like treating a dead horse as a living horse."  Tang Xiaosheng is still a little self-aware. He knows that his future in writing novels is very slim, and his life or death is uncertain.  Although it is said on the Internet that some online novels can earn hundreds of millions or even tens of millions per year, Tang Xiaosheng knew that he might not be able to support himself by writing novels.  Out of caution, Tang Xiaosheng made two preparations.  on the one hand.  If the novel is successfully signed, makes money, and can support himself, then he will continue writing; on the other hand, if the novel cannot support himself at all, then he will obviously have to find another job to meet the most basic needs of food and clothing.  question.  After making the decision, Tang Xiaosheng immersed himself in conceiving the novel.  He wrote the novel to get rid of Yue'er's entanglement. Therefore, the theme of the novel is naturally related to Yue'er.  Yue'er once said this before she was alive.  Her biggest dream is to travel through time and space.  She also made an appointment with Tang Xiaosheng to invent a time travel machine in the future, and then travel to various time and space together.  Considering these, Tang Xiaosheng initially determined the theme of the novel - time travel.  He wants to write a time-travel novel about Yue'er.  The novel comes from life.  In the process of conception.  Tang Xiaosheng recalled many things between himself and Yue'er when he was a child.  He was going to package these things up and modify them.  Then put it into the novel.  After seven days of thinking.  On April 24, 2012, Tang Xiaosheng finally roughly determined the creative idea of ????the novel and gave the novel a name.  It's called "Fake Traveler".  After determining the idea, Tang Xiaosheng began to write the outline of the novel.  Since many of the plots of the novel are based on his experiences as a child, it was quite smooth to conceive and inspiration continued.  After eight days of conceiving day and night, a 50,000-word outline was initially completed.  With the publication of the outline, Tang Xiaosheng began to write the text of the novel.  Compared with writing an outline, Tang Xiaosheng obviously found it much more difficult to write the main text. When coding, he could not help but recall the sad experience of being forced to write essays when he was in school.  For a long time, he never understood why such a thing as "composition" existed in the world.  If it were not for the purpose of curing depression, Tang Xiaosheng would never write.  When typing, Tang Xiaosheng felt like squeezing out toothpaste. Every bit he could squeeze out counted.  After working hard for more than a Sunday, Tang Xiaosheng finally squeezed out 50,000 words of text.  After finishing writing, Tang Xiaosheng still felt a sense of accomplishment. He had never written an article with so many words since he was a child.  Out of a responsible attitude, he revised the 50,000 words repeatedly. ? ? Keep improving!  After revising for three days, Tang Xiaosheng felt that it was almost done and decided to submit the manuscript.  After a month of hard work, on May 9, Tang Xiaosheng sent the finished manuscript to the editor of Qidian-Chinese-Net via email, and then began to wait anxiously for the news.  Qidian¡¯s editors are very busy, and it usually takes a week for them to respond to a manuscript.  During the few days he was waiting for news from the editor of Qidian, Tang Xiaosheng was not idle and continued to improve the outline. The number of words in the outline increased from 50,000 to 70,000 words.  Six days later, on May 15, Tang Xiaosheng finally received an email from the editor of Qidian.  Tang Xiaosheng was a little excited when he saw the editor's email, but when he clicked on the text of the email, his heart suddenly became cold.  The starting point - the editor's email reply only had one sentence: "I'm sorry, your novel temporarily does not meet the contract standards. Thank you for submitting. I wish you a happy creation." After reading the reply, Tang Xiaosheng knew that his submission had been rejected, which meant that he  A month of hard work ended in failure.  At the same time, Tang Xiaosheng couldn't help but wonder, what did the editor mean by "signing standards"?  What are the "signing standards"?  In order to find out this problem, Tang Xiaosheng went to the Internet cafe to go online, hoping to use the all-powerful Baidu to find out the specific meaning of "signing standards".  The reason why I want to go to the Internet cafe is because of Tang Xiaosheng¡¯s??There is no connection line for renting a house.  He originally wanted to get a broadband connection to facilitate the creation of novels. After all, novels require searching for information.  Unfortunately, the residential area where he lives is about to be relocated, and China Telecom no longer accepts broadband services.  Yue'er had lived in this rental house, and Tang Xiaosheng didn't want to move out. Therefore, the broadband was not available in the end, and the only way to access the Internet was at the Internet cafe.  On May 16, Tang Xiaosheng spent ten hours in an Internet cafe, searching for the meaning of "signing standards" on the Internet, and he really found a lot of answers.  Some netizens believe that in order to sign a contract, the novel must have new ideas; some netizens believe that the novel must have a sense of immersion and resonate with readers; some netizens believe that the novel needs to have a conflict at the beginning, and then quickly pull out a small plot to make the reader feel refreshed.  Some netizens think that the personality of the protagonist is very important to make people interested in the character; some netizens think that the beginning of the chapter is suitable to scare readers with a novel or exciting plot There are at least three other similar answers.  Ten kinds.  After reading these answers, Tang Xiaosheng had mixed feelings.  The originally messy mind suddenly became even messier.  Although there are many answers about "signing standards" on the Internet, when there are too many answers to a question, it is no different from having no answers at all.  It¡¯s like having thirty clocks in front of a person at the same time, and each clock displays a different time. In this case, you still don¡¯t know what time it is at this time.  So, after searching in the Internet cafe for a day, Tang Xiaosheng still could not understand what the "signing standards" were. Tang Xiaosheng also seemed to understand many of the opinions put forward by netizens.  Especially words related to writing such as "sense of substitution", "rhythm" and "writing perspective".  Tang Xiaosheng was completely confused and had never heard of it.  With a swollen head, Tang Xiaosheng returned to the rental house and tried hard to digest what he saw on the Internet.  After a night of meditation.  Tang Xiaosheng found some new ideas.  the next day.  Tang Xiaosheng revised the outline of "Fake Traveler".  Then rewrite the text.  Three days later, on May 20, after writing 30,000 words.  Tang Xiaosheng made his second submission.  The response to this submission was very fast. On the third day, May 24, Qidian-editor sent a reply message via email. The message only had one sentence: "I'm sorry, your novel temporarily does not meet the contract standards. Thank you for submitting.  "Happy writing." This email seems to be only one sentence, but it still contains a huge amount of information.  Until this moment, Tang Xiaosheng still didn't understand what the so-called "signing standards" were.  The failure of the second submission did not make Tang Xiaosheng lose confidence, because he had little confidence in the first place and had nothing to lose.  So, Tang Xiaosheng wrote another 30,000 words and shamelessly submitted it for the third time.  Three days later, on May 30, I received another reply from the editor: "Sorry, your novel does not meet the contract standards for the time being. Thank you for submitting. I wish you a happy creation." After reading the reply, Tang Xiaosheng still did not lose confidence.  The editor has already made it clear, "Your novel does not meet the contract standards for the time being." What he means is that it cannot meet the contract standards for the time being, not that it will never meet the contract standards.  Therefore, Tang Xiaosheng felt that he could give it another try.  So, after racking his brains to revise the novel outline, Tang Xiaosheng coded another 30,000 words, and on June 3, he made his fourth submission.  After submitting the article, Tang Xiaosheng continued to wait for the news.  He originally thought that the most tragic result would be to receive another reply: "Sorry, your novel does not meet the contract standards for the time being. Thank you for submitting. I wish you a happy creation." But he never expected that the situation was worse than he imagined.  It's even worse.  Because this time the Qidian editor did not reply at all.  After waiting for more than a week, Tang Xiaosheng still did not receive a reply from the editor. His fourth submission was like a mud cow drowning in the sea. He never returned and there was no news.  Tang Xiaosheng analyzed it carefully and felt that the situation might be like this.  He submitted articles to the editor four times in a row. The editor was probably bored, so he blocked Tang Xiaosheng directly.  So, there was no reply at all for the fourth submission.  No reply is actually the same as being rejected. The fourth submission failed again.  Tang Xiaosheng has always felt that his novels were poorly written, and facts have proven that his novels are indeed poorly written.  After struggling for two months, not only did I fail to meet the most basic contract standards, but I was also blocked by an editor. This is really not an ordinary setback.  However, Tang Xiaosheng still has not lost confidence. He will not give up his goal of writing novels because of this. In order to treat his depression, he will definitely keep going.  Although Tang Xiaosheng may have been edited by a Qidian-editorBlocked, but Qidian has ten editors in total. After being blocked by one editor, you can continue to contribute to the other nine editors.  Tang Xiaosheng checked on the Internet. Some netizens said that the editor Jelly in the starting group seemed to be good and willing to help newcomers. It was said that Jelly was a girl.  After learning the news, Tang Xiaosheng thought about it and decided to give Jelly a try.  After re-revising the outline of the novel, Tang Xiaosheng re-wrote 30,000 words of text. On June 12, 2012, Tang Xiaosheng made his fifth submission and submitted the manuscript to Qidian-Editor Jelly.  .  After submitting the manuscript, Tang Xiaosheng did not continue to code in the rental house, but was ready to go out and find a job.  Until this time, Tang Xiaosheng had been writing the novel for two months, and he only had more than 700 yuan left.  In addition to eating, you also have to pay rent every month.  What's even worse is that you have to go to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet.  The Internet fee is like running water. It costs more than a dozen yuan at a time. 700 yuan won't last long at all.  Tang Xiaosheng¡¯s novels have not yet met the contract standards, let alone making money from the novels. In order to have food, he can only find another job.  In today¡¯s society, it is not difficult to find a job that will keep you hungry, after some consideration.  Tang Xiaosheng finally found a job - moving bricks.  Tang Xiaosheng may have a better choice.  For example, go to a computer store to be a salesperson.  However, he still decided to move bricks.  If you are doing sales work in a computer mall, you need to constantly face customers.  Need to communicate with customers.  A bunch of polite, hypocritical, boring words need to be said.  I still have to think about how to fool customers, and my energy needs to be spent on work.  The situation of moving bricks is different. Although the work of moving bricks is a bit hard.  But it has an obvious benefit - freedom of thought.  When moving bricks, the brick mover's mind is unrestrained. He can think about messy things while moving bricks, and this is what Tang Xiaosheng needs most.  He is currently writing a novel, and novels require a lot of time to conceive. When moving bricks, he can use his time to conceive of the plot, because the job of moving bricks does not require the use of brains.  So, on June 13, 2012, Tang Xiaosheng found a job moving bricks. After two years, he returned to work at a construction site.  Every morning at eight o'clock, Tang Xiaosheng goes to the construction site and starts moving bricks.  While moving bricks, he was always thinking about the plot of "The Fake Traveler". Occasionally, when he had free time, he would write down some thoughts in a diary.  After getting off work at seven in the evening, Tang Xiaosheng would return to the rental house and continue coding on the computer until one in the morning.  Since I had already conceived the plot at the construction site during the day, my thinking became much clearer when I was coding at night, and my coding speed was also faster.  After four days of this kind of life, on June 17, after get off work that day, Tang Xiaosheng did not go back to the rental house immediately, but went to a nearby Internet cafe.  His fifth submission had been submitted for five days, and he wanted to see if the editor had responded.  As a result, when he opened his mailbox in the Internet cafe, he found a new email, and the person who sent the email was none other than Jelly.  Seeing the new email, Tang Xiaosheng felt relatively calm and didn't have much ups and downs.  This is not because his mental quality is good, but because he is a little numb.  When your first submission is rejected, you may feel very frustrated; when your second submission is rejected, your frustration will be even greater.  However, if you have been rejected for four or five consecutive submissions, and the last time you were directly blocked by the editor, this is not a feeling of frustration, but you will take the initiative to give up hope.  Only by giving up hope will you not be disappointed.  Therefore, Tang Xiaosheng didn¡¯t have much hope for Jelly¡¯s email reply. He was already prepared for his fifth submission to be rejected, and at worst, he would submit for a sixth time.  With this mentality, Tang Xiaosheng clicked on the email sent by Jelly and stared at it, only to see the following words written on the email: "Your novel is very creative. Add me on Q-Q and chat on Q-Q. My  q-q is 4943347xx, which is the title of your book on the Verification Times. ¡ª¡ªxyz-Jelly Dizzy." After reading this reply, Tang Xiaosheng couldn't help but stared at the computer screen and frowned: "What's going on?  " At first, he thought he had read it wrong, because the reply this time was not "Your novel temporarily does not meet the contract standards", which felt unscientific.  After reading the email four or five times, Tang Xiaosheng finally came to his senses. The situation seemed to have improved.  Tang Xiaosheng is not sure what Jelly's reply means, but this reply is at least a little more humane than the reply of "your novel temporarily does not meet the contract standards."  In particular, the addition of q-q really surprised Tang Xiaosheng. It is said that only contracted novel writers can add editor q-q.  Without thinking much, Tang Xiaosheng immediately logged in to his website.??q-q number, and then add jelly's q-q. When adding, the verification information is - "Fake Traveler".  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª PS: Here, I would like to express my special thanks to the original editors of Qidian, Jelly.  Although she has resigned, she is indeed an enthusiastic editor.  When "The Fake Traveler" was originally conceived, Jelly gave a lot of help, and she was also the first editor to give positive approval to this novel.  (To be continued)
