I'm with Literature 丨 Song Qinghua: Sorry for the writing

Sorry for the writing

Song Qinghua

Suddenly excited, found that a long period of continuous writing will slide into a "sub-healthy" state, manifested as a molded work actually has an unforgivable fault, or called obvious flaws, clean up the source, serious reflection, it turned out to be their own hidden impetuousness, fame, vanity of the three "pathological factors" drilled out to do the work, in 2013, just as the heat of the largest city in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River faded away, autumn rain, the golden leaves of the ginkgo tree began to fall, the chill suddenly rose, the cold actually aroused the heat in my heart, under the anger, Impulsively, I picked up my pen and began to write a long novel. Perhaps it has been accumulated for too long, the theme, characters, and context are clear and clear, and other literary elements such as language, typical shaping, and storylines have never been conceived, but they have riveted enough to write a dragon and snake, and within a month, they have written more than 200,000 words of "Absolute Accident" manuscript on a thick pile of A4 paper, and then hastily revised, revised, and recorded into an electronic version. After even submitting manuscripts to several magazines and publishing houses and being knocked into "dumb and speechless", I was indignant that I had been working day and night without seeing a little harvest, and I always thought that the literary world under the chaos lacked the discerning And pearl-eyed Bole. Fortunately, when he was about to be discouraged, the manuscript was photographed by the Ministry of Public Security's "Woodpecker" magazine, published in the "Summer Issue" in 2014, and then selected as a selected annual edition of Chinese public security literature that year, and published as a novel in 2015.

For a newcomer who is new to literary creation, this is undoubtedly a great encouragement. The salary will be exhausted, the fire will still be spread, the "excitement" is actually out of control, the creation of long, novella, short story to miniature novels continues, essays, essays, essays, poems gushing out on the keyboard, this writing is ten years, take off the hands of a million words, touching the big newspaper published "The Back of the Criminal Police's Head", "Blue Sunshine", "Old Detective", "Handcuffs" articles, touch the books that have been published "Absolute Accident", "Absolute Scene", "Absolute Key", "Magnolia Blossom" and "River Testimony", Although the vicissitudes of the old age deliberately cover up the self-righteous look in the wrinkles of the old face with rough skin and thick flesh, what cannot be contained in the heart is still full of confidence and pride, and even thinks that it is not everyone who is also the Fang family.

I can't remember that day, I inadvertently read a beautiful short article, saying that it was a young writer flying, seeing the elegant temperament of the lady sitting next to him, full of books, taking the initiative to talk with it, and soon began to show off his literary achievements in writing several books in a few years, hoping to win the praise of the lady. Sure enough, her eyes gradually lit up as she listened, and she asked with interest about the title of the book, indicating that she wanted to buy it and read it one by one. The young writer looked down and had to say that several publishing houses had not been published, and then complained that the world did not know the goods and did not fulfill people's wishes. No longer surprised, she calmly asked him how many books he could write a year. He said he would write three books a year, and then ask the lady if she could come up with ideas to help him publish them. She said, this is easy to do, you just have to turn this thing upside down. He said contemptuously, you know how to write, you also write books. She humbly said that I had written a book in my life. He asked what book was published. She said the word "flutter" lightly. yes. This startled the little young man stunned, staring at this idle elder who half-closed his mouth, you are the great writer Margaret Mitchell. Margaret just chuckled slightly. The story is not followed, and I don't know what the young writer's follow-up will be. But after reading the short article, my heart shock is huge, it should be said that I was slapped and deafened.

Margaret wrote "Gone with the Wind" intermittently for nine years, repeatedly revised for another year, and it took a full decade to publish, and this process also experienced many ups and downs and almost died. In 1926, Margaret Mitchell, with the support of her husband, began to create, this feminist novel set in the American Civil War and post-war reconstruction, with the heroine Scarlett's love story as the main line, the artistic characteristics are very significant, in 1936 it caused a sensation, was translated into 29 languages to spread around the world, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937, and was put on the screen by Hollywood with the title of "Gone with the Wind" two years later, and quickly swept the world. Margaret Mitchell is famous but modestly says that gone with the wind is not beautiful, the ideas are not great, and she herself is just an amateur writer.

"Gone with the Wind", a novel of more than a million words, has laid down its unshakable classic status in the history of world literature, fully embodying Margaret's ten years of grinding a sword, deeply understanding life, carefully shaping characters and exquisitely describing the narrative plot, breaking the traditional literary techniques and creating a unique artistic charm. Comparing her and her work, especially the admonition to "do it upside down" in terms of the quantity and length of time, I can't help but bend over and ask myself: Is there quality in what I write? It seems that so many "works" have been written, and how many can stand the criticism of readers and the test of time, will there be classics? Let alone these very high demands, really introspecting each of their own words, asking a minimum question, is it worth the reader?

In the past leisure time, burning a cigarette, soaking a cup of Pu'er, browsing their own works, once a pleasant and proud elegant thing, now the same browsing, just immersed in reading with a critical eye, actually found so many difficult to hide the typo and sentence error, some pick up people's teeth and wisdom repetition, some logical misalignment context is not smooth, some abrupt and miscellaneous, and even floating out of the air Is not the right subject is deliberately displayed intellectual theoretical large paragraphs. Read the blush again, read the shame, read more than one article and be more embarrassed. Careful thinking is indeed extremely frightening, failing to use the right words to describe the charm that should be expressed, failing to describe accurate and unique scenery, failing to write all kinds of sounds in words, failing to stimulate the reader's pleasant pleasure and aesthetic enjoyment, failing to give the reader a prescient understanding to enlighten and discern with wisdom, not to mention entering the reader's soul to collide, communicate and even resonate with it, but these crude works defile the reader's senses, and also waste the reader's time, in the words of Mr. Lu Xun: Time is life, and spending other people's time for no reason is actually tantamount to seeking wealth and killing people. This kind of writing is really deceiving itself and sorry for the reader, facing many readers with fire eyes and golden eyes.

I remember that the earliest newsletter "Vigilance, Rhetoric" was published in the Chongqing Evening News on December 1, 1987, although from November 1995 from the Bashu Writers Series to collect several previously published newsletters, reportage integrated "River Testimony" pamphlet published, to 2013 began literary creation, from the accumulation and expectation of "writing trivial things, embellishing thousands of autumn histories", pursuing the writing creed of "casual writing, directly expressing the chest and taking it seriously" and "where the pen is, what the heart says", On the desk is a sentence of Mr. Ding Ling: "A good writer should have a book that can stand and pass on" for comparison at any time, and has also lamented the realization that "there is no reflection on the blood in the dark night, not enough to speak life", but when it is written, it loses its original intention, forgets the creed, pursues publication, pursues novelty, pursues the eyeballs of the people, regardless of the self-talk and thinks that as long as it is the true feelings, it will become a high standard, unconsciously let the "pathological factors" accumulate into a sub-healthy state without self-awareness, if it is not alerted in time, When slipping into a pathology, to the point of being terminally ill and self-destructing the path of writing.

True reflection is tantamount to a bitter flogging, and excellent writing has always been a painful product, and practice has proved that having a painful experience is like a seedling that has gone through wind, frost, snow and rain, and will thrive and harvest exceptionally ripe fruits. Imagine which of those masters is not a person who has experienced ups and downs, difficulties and obstacles, and those classics that can be passed on to the world are not crystals that have been refined from pain, although they have gradually drifted away with the passage of time, their brilliance will never disappear. Under the candlelight, I should reflect in the "pain", ponder carefully in the "bitterness", abandon the personality characteristics of self-righteousness, respect common sense, follow the rules, carefully conceive, carefully put the pen and then finely polish, and then put a cold and a cold, and then modify the polish, even if the word is inappropriate, never let go, there is a way: "The master does not show people to pu," I am not a master, but I must have the spirit of a craftsman, so that I can write a work worthy of the reader.

Move, completely and cleanly eliminate the "pathological factors", bid farewell to the "sub-healthy" state of writing, boost the spirit, accumulate nutrients, let go of the mind, concentrate on writing fine works that are recognized by more readers, and promote the progress of the society of the times with their own modest strength.
