Chapter 170
The quality of a story does not depend on its length, but on its meaning and completeness.
I have always had a psychological circle, which is that if I write a novel too short, it cannot be called a novel, but it can only be regarded as a relatively long essay.
However, novels are indeed very short.
The shortest one is just one or two sentences.
However, the meaning it expresses can cause thinking, and at the same time, it is also complete.
So, shouldn’t I be too obsessed with the length of the story and dare not write a short novel for a long time?
In fact, for me, novels are at most icing on the cake.
This thing is the root of my literature. No matter how many or good novels I can write in the future, it is also the branches and leaves that spread out based on this thing.
Whether it is the literature field, my other hobbies and life field, they can exist in this work. In other words, it is like a me who has turned into words.
Since that's the case, I don't have to worry about how bad it will be for me to write short novels.
If I compare this thing to a tree trunk, the novel I wrote is to branches and leaves, and some very short novels are badly written, then a bad novel will be like fallen leaves. However, it does not mean that it is bad and has no meaning. If the fallen leaves return to their roots, its nutrients will eventually return to this thing.
I had conceived a shorter novel "If I Are a Ghost". Until today, I have not yet come up with the overall structure. I just thought about writing some, and I have been in a semi-interrupted state.
Well, I'm going to write it before the end of next month.
Because, maybe, I will be looking for a job in Shenzhen after the end of next month.
I don’t know what the future will be like, just let it go naturally.
So, I was afraid that after I went to find a job, I would be very busy, so I didn’t have time to conceive that short novel that I had been cold for a long time but had not completed.
I don't know how well I write.
After all, I can’t write that high-end, elegant and upscale writing style. I just want to write a writing style that belongs to my own style.
And style cannot be formed by just talking casually.
You need to try, write, think, practice repeatedly, and devote yourself to it sincerely.
I hope that in the future, if someone sees clips of what I write, it will be easy to tell that it is my writing style.
Of course, the road is far away, and unfulfilled wishes can only be regarded as expectations and make them the driving force for you to keep moving forward.
I don’t know if I can achieve it. I don’t have the passionate confidence that I can achieve it, but I hope I can achieve it.
"Wulongliu" is not only my pseudonym, but also the style of all my works, and is a style of my own.
What? You don’t believe it!
Very good, I don't believe it either.
I deceived myself, and I want to continue to deceive...
Until the lie comes true. (To be continued)
