You know, when I met her in Tencent ten years ago, she wrote online articles. Later, she wrote a fairy tale and published it. She also publishes articles in various journals.
She is a very independent, clever and clever mother of two children. She never complains and tries to solve problems when she meets them.
With Bauer, she spent less time on code words, often drying handicrafts, and later went to teach herself art. The following is an exclusive interview with her on our Iraqi planet. Please read it patiently, and you will certainly gain a lot.
1. How long have you studied?
Lan: I have been studying colored lead hand-drawing intermittently for more than a year, and I have to code words with dolls during this period, so I haven't followed the class much, and I have been taking time to draw.
I used to think that painting didn't take much time. When I really learned to draw, I realized that drawing is a time-consuming thing, especially when you are not skilled. It takes more than an hour to draw a picture, and it takes longer, because it needs to be superimposed layer by layer to have a more layered feeling.
2. What else did you insist on before, and it paid off?
Lan: I made up my mind to learn to paint because I had contributed fairy tales to the publishing editor before, and the editor replied that I had illustrations.
I have never learned to draw, so I am speechless.
I am a novelist and have published several fairy tales, all of which are illustrated, but I can't draw them.
All the children's books I published before were drawn by publishers looking for illustrators.
Later, among the authors, I heard that a fairy tale writer in his sixties and seventies wrote his own articles and drew his own pictures, and he taught himself for two or three years before writing his own pictures, which also inspired my confidence.
An old gentleman is so eager to learn. It's not too late for me to learn painting in my thirties. It's never too late to learn! Although my paintings have not been illustrated, I have gained a lot.
3. What problems did you encounter in your study and how did you solve them?
Lan: I haven't encountered any problems. Maybe I like painting very much.
It's just that I have little time. I have to take care of my children every day. When I learn to draw, I have no time to write. I can only pause writing and concentrate on charging.
4. What are you particularly proud of?
Lan: I am particularly proud that after learning painting, I can take myself to paint, saving the cost of attending interest classes.
Painting is also applied to all aspects, such as painting on clay sculpture, making clay sculpture relief painting, sketching and designing plush toys.
5. How much did you spend on your study? What classes are there? Do you have any suggestions for your study? What is the biggest trouble when studying? For example, those who play truant and refund their fees.
Lan: I spent almost ten thousand yuan on my study. I applied for all the online courses and the full course of colored lead, including the basic landscape map.
I also signed up for a handmade course, which is also a whole set, including basic cute eating and playing, miniature scenes, Q pictures, ancient dolls, clay sculpture relief paintings and so on.
I haven't finished learning.
My suggestion is that if you are not particularly interested, you don't need to apply for a full set, because the process is too long and you can't finish it in two years.
Compared with offline courses, online courses are more favorable in price, and the teachers are also very professional. They all graduated from professional colleges and explained in detail. It is more appropriate for adults to report this. Children need self-discipline, and children without self-discipline can't persist.
The biggest trouble in study is time arrangement. Do a good job in home hygiene, arrange the children well, and have your own time to study.
6. What is the conflict between study and life? What is the biggest and most uncomfortable thing in your heart? How is it solved?
Lan: The only conflict between study and life is that study time takes up codeword time. Without codeword, there is no income. Fortunately, I still have a part-time job, and Taobao shop has been open for ten years. Although the order income is not as good as the manuscript fee, the change is enough.
7. You used to be a writer. Why did you start making money by hand? Which one do you like?
Lan: I have been a writer for more than ten years, and my handicraft shop has been open for ten years. I am not a diligent writer. I have a long rest time when writing a book, and I have the support of Taobao shop. If I don't code words, I won't have no income.
I like them both very much, but if I don't stop writing every day, I will be very tired. I prefer slow life. Handicraft is a way to relieve stress, and handicrafts can also be paid. Why not?
8. As a mother with a second child, please tell me how you manage your time.
Lan: After having two children, time is packed. You will find that you haven't been idle all day, but you seem to have done nothing.
Because it takes time to sweep the floor, wash the dishes and clean the glass, it takes time to buy food and cook, and it takes more time to take care of the baby. Mothers will spend the whole day on trifles, leaving little time for themselves. People who don't understand mom will say that mom does nothing at home all day.
All second-born mothers still need a considerate husband.
The baby can be sent to kindergarten after he is three years old. Although he will be picked up after three o'clock, there are still a few hours to himself.
In these few hours, after cleaning and buying vegetables, you can do whatever you want. Whether working to earn money or studying, children should be given time as soon as kindergarten is over. You can accompany your child to draw pictures or watch TV for a while, and quietly enjoy the baby's time with you, because when the child grows up, if you want him to bother you, he won't have time to bother you.
9. What do you have to say about craftsmanship, mind, breaking up and living a good life?
Lan: When you are upset, why don't you sit down and make a handicraft to settle your heart, enjoy the slow-paced life and release the pressure?
Anything that is unnecessary and useless at home, you can send it, but you can't send it and throw it away. Useless old things occupy the room, which will make the room look messy and indirectly affect our mood.
10. Now your family doesn't invite people, but you are doing housework, taking care of children and doing manual labor?
Lan: There is no one at home. I don't like living with others, and I don't like taking care of children's handicrafts. Home is a private place. I feel uncomfortable with others at home, so I prefer to clean myself. Moreover, where to put things, you can only find them by yourself.
The code word has stopped for a long time, probably because I am old. I'm tired of writing online. There is no code machine on rest days and holidays. I am really tired. Even if I take a break to write, I won't choose to write online again. Energy can't keep up, so it is more suitable for writing fairy tales.
I haven't written an interview for a long time. This time, I admire Cher beyond words. I think it is too important to show you her mental journey and efforts.
Nowadays, many mothers with two or even three children are taking the time to teach themselves and do some part-time jobs, hoping to make good use of their time. I hope this article can bring you ideas.
Finally, I thank Cher and wish her all her wishes come true. The more fairy tales she creates/draws/writes with handicrafts and paintings, the better she will become and the more money she will earn.
If you are interested in Cher's handcraft, you can send me a message backstage, with information and contact information such as a small video of handmade clay sculpture teaching.
