The era of national writing and the embarrassing era of writers.

After the madness of the financial management class, the writing class began to flood, and the era of national writing seemed to have arrived.

Chinese suddenly found that the platforms on which they could express their opinions were so dizzyingly diverse. Everyone became a creator. We publish our insights on Weibo, blogs, WeChat, public accounts, and various self-media platforms.

Has the era of literary prosperity come?

Is the happy time for writers coming?

No, quite the opposite.

It's an embarrassing time for writers.

This writing is not the other writing.

In the era of online writing, the pursuit is traffic and explosive articles.

The key point of the explosive text is not the text, but the explosion.

There are pain points, there are groove points, there are excitement points.

As for the deliberation and tempering of words, and even the confusion of grammar, they can be ignored, and the ultimate goal is to monetize.

Writers are in an awkward position to either honestly write pure literature or change course and look for flashpoints.

As a senior literary middle-aged man, in the past ten years, I have not touched literary books, and occasionally turned over the classics.

Cao Xueqin moved to the western suburbs of Beijing in a depressed manner, living in poverty, "full of basil" and "eating porridge for the whole family". In order to write "Dream of the Red Chamber", "I have read it for ten years, added and deleted five times", "the words seem to be blood, and ten years of hard work is unusual".

It is a pity that Mr. Cao did not have enough to eat in those days, if he is alive today, he still can't eat enough, and today's market, not more than 5,000 or 10,000 words a day, is embarrassed to say that he is writing. Supplemented with writing software, it is no problem to roll out 10 novels at the same time.

Today's young web novelists, at a young age, have tens of millions of words of works, and the word "works" is no longer worthy of describing their literary achievements.
