Some people say that talent determines the upper limit of a person's writing development, and hard work and persistence determine how long you can walk on this road. Many successful writers, such as the editor-in-chief of Xu Homepage, have accumulated millions of words in both writing experience and popular resources before publishing their books. Xu, 1990 was born in a poor family and has published three books. He has attracted hundreds of thousands of people's attention on Douban and Zhihu before. He likes to express his feelings from an early age. Since high school, he has been writing diaries on Douban and Zhihu, enthusiastically answering some professional questions, which gradually attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of netizens and laid a solid foundation for his future book publishing. Anyone who has paid attention to him knows that he was directly sent to Shanghai Jiaotong University in Taitung, Jiangsu Province, and worked part-time on student loans for four years. In four years, his family didn't spend a penny and subsidized tens of thousands of families. He is called (Zhihu's inspirational brother) and a real poor boy. He is an excellent high-paying programmer, with a two-year savings of 6.5438+0.5 million. He was influenced by the moon and sixpence. In June, 2065.438+2004, he decided to quit his job and write full-time, and he stopped under the painstaking advice of his family, relatives and friends. He still has to stick to his dream and follow his heart. He gave himself a period of three years and planned to save 15 to maintain his living expenses for three years. If he can't support himself after three years of writing, he will go back to be his old programmer. He rented a cheap house in the suburbs of Shanghai and lived with his grandmother, mother and grandparents. His mother does housework for others during the day, so he writes at home and takes care of grandma's daily life. Fortunately, six months after his resignation, he successfully published his first book, Let the Future Thank Yourself Now, and is now preparing the fourth draft. With the income from two books last year, he bought a hotel-style apartment of more than 50 square meters in Wuxi, Jiangsu, which gave his mother a big surprise.

I admire his courage and courage to give up his well-paid job. After all, he has lived what he wants! Yi Ming, editor-in-chief of serial novels, wrote millions of words of online novels before coming to Jane's book. He is also a programmer (developing java language). Faced with the boring work and the pressure of big cities, he resigned on 20 13 and returned to his hometown to write full-time. He signed a two-year contract with his wife. If writing full-time for two years has not improved, he will go out to look for a job. I have some savings at hand, and there is no mortgage pressure in my hometown. Although simple and frugal, it will not be poor. He started to write 850,000-word fantasy long articles in 6,000 years, but as a result, he was ignored by the website, and a year's hard work was wasted. Later, I began to participate in the Douban essay contest, but I was rejected four times in a row. He has been beaten to death, leaving only the second half of his two years. At the end of 20 14, his fifth essay "Goddess untouchable" was unexpectedly selected, which gave him great comfort and confidence. This is the first time that it has been published at a fee. At the end of 20 14, he met a simplified Chinese character book, which has been updated until now, so his first e-book "People in the Wind" was successfully published. Now, Yi Ming's Untouchable Goddess, Man in the Wind and Feather Man Flying to the Moon are all under negotiation and publication, and his writing path has finally blossomed. He didn't have to go back to work he didn't like, and finally lived the life he wanted.

Writing needs hard practice and persistence, and of course it needs to find a platform that suits you. Coupled with the continuous accumulation of writing and popularity, there will always be a turning point for you. Opportunities always favor those who are prepared.

No one can succeed casually. May all those who work hard dream of blossoming and bearing fruit!
