Chapter 48: Wishing Everyone a Happy New Year in Advance!

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year in advance!

Clickbait title; the main text is actually unrelated.

Mainly, I felt everyone's enthusiasm and suddenly realized I shouldn't just keep my head down typing; I need to chat with everyone.

This book has done very well, but actually I didn't realize it myself; it was the editor and readers who kept reminding me: "You're writing this one well, keep it up, stay steady."

Only then did I realize, oh, this new book that just started has already been loved by so many people.

To be honest, I feel very honored, very surprised, and very gratified.

Because I write books just for this; I haven't really gone out in about six years, and when I do go out, I only go to four places: the supermarket downstairs, the hospital, my parents' home, and the bathhouse, foot massage, or blind massage shop... this last one doesn't count toward the quota.

Old readers know I'm a crumb of bread; touch me and I shatter, sometimes even without being touched, the wind blows me to pieces.

My only channel for external exchange and communication is writing novels; sometimes I get very tired of writing, but most of the time I like it, feeling a strong urge to pour out my thoughts.

But after my illness, my emotional control isn't very strong; at the worst times, I had to take medicine to control it, and old readers all know this, so whenever I lose emotional control, that overly intense urge to pour out my thoughts leads me to write things that stray off-topic and are extremely personal.

Sometimes this is good, adding a little extra value to a power fantasy on a higher level; sometimes it's very bad, leading to bans, closures, or cuts, then my mindset collapses completely, making it hard to continue.

So just as I told everyone in the afterword of my last book, I want to write things that make me happy, write the remaining last wild afterglow of my life, write the only spirit I have left.

Before starting this book, I hadn't decided exactly what plot to write, nor did I make an outline; I only knew what the ending would look like, what kind of person Little Fang would ultimately become, what kind of world he would see, and which wonderful works he would create in between.

Then I started writing, depicting the entertainment industry as I understand it.

Actually, my understanding might not be correct, but I'm very good at finding materials and willing to spend energy on this, so I believe the main framework and major characters won't have problems.

For every celebrity that has appeared so far, I've even read their major works and studied their speaking styles during interviews.

Teacher Tie commented that Little Fang has a kind of "great honesty," and then a reader wrote in the chapter comments: "Author, your sentences aren't smooth." Actually, that's just Sister Tie's style; she very much likes using the word "honest" to evaluate the sincere self people show in their works, and the highest praise is "great honesty."

The book I'm currently reading is called "The Art of Photographic Composition," the People's Posts and Telecommunications Press edition.

The one I just finished reading is called "Grotowski's Extreme Experience Spirit and Extreme Training Methods," which is the Grotowski Actor Training Method that Little Fang is practicing now.

I've left many books unfinished; I'm very sorry to everyone, but my sincerity in writing has never let anyone down, including the parts you think are watered down or boring; actually, I put my heart into all of them, it's just that my ability wasn't enough.

Actually, these things don't have a very strong positive correlation with whether a book feels satisfying; the extra 100 points of effort I put in might result in just 5 points in the final presentation of the work, and that's already remarkable.

But the issue is this—due to my physical condition, the time I can spend typing every day is limited; using voice gives me no ideas and is too colloquial, while typing with my fingers on the keyboard, I can type at most 5,000 characters a day, so the extra time goes to checking materials and reading books; even improving the quality by one point is pure profit.

So when everyone urges me to update, I'm deeply moved and also very apprehensive.

Because I know this means everyone loves this book too much, but I've really done my best; a crumb of bread has this strength; if you crush it, you can't squeeze out many drops.

Moreover, the writing difficulty of this book is actually at a level that could drive me crazy; it's especially hard to write.

Between quality and quantity, I will definitely choose quality without hesitation.

So, what I originally thought was to delay the release until February, giving everyone more free chapters; I'll write slowly, controlling the quality and pace, and by then, with more words, you'll be able to make a comprehensive judgment; if it's worth subscribing, subscribe; if not, we'll meet again next time.

I originally didn't want to emphasize these things, but since the results are so good, I must thank everyone, so I'll just clarify things while I'm at it.

I really understand the urge for updates; I'm also quite anxious about the speed; damn it, what if I get sick one day and my condition is bad, and I can't write?

But the most responsible approach is definitely to stabilize the mindset and guarantee quality, so I truly beg everyone to also calm your minds; let's finish this story together and tell it well.

I really strongly advise against using that kind of very childish tone to make threats like "If you don't add more updates, I'll delete the book"; we are book friends exchanging spirits through text; why make it so undignified? When I have the ability to add more, I definitely will, okay?

Finally, my thanks to everyone; since there are really too many on the readers' leaderboard, I won't list them all, so I'll just copy the names of the top 10; the gratitude is the same; thank you to all friends for the support of every monthly ticket.

Finally, this afterword is spoken-word rambling and doesn't count toward today's typing quota; that's all, salute.
