Why write

"I hope they can find comfort in their works"

"Dragon" was written in 2009 and has been writing for more than ten years. , there are currently four volumes and a total of six volumes available. This work spans ten years and has accompanied the growth of countless readers. For its author Jiang Nan, the creation spanning more than ten years was full of hardships. "Every morning when I wake up, I feel I owe readers. If I finish writing today and pay off readers' debts, I will feel that this is a meaningful day."

Jiangnan adheres to the attitude of being responsible to readers. I hope they can find comfort in their works. "When children grow up, there will always be a stage when they feel that they are helpless, have difficulty communicating with the world, and need others to give them strength. "Dragon" is written for this age group. When a child needs courage, the person who can give him courage may be his friends and family, and of course, it is more likely to be the literary works he reads. "He hopes that his works can give readers strength and courage. , especially children in adolescence who are often confused and confused about the world.

Another reason may be that "I always wanted to write a great work before." Jiang Nan has read a large number of classic works since he was a boy, and believes that by learning from great works, he can write excellent works. novels, but after reaching a certain age and deepening my understanding of classic literary works, "I will think that I am writing it for people who have the same mood as me."

The original intention of de'an and Jiangnan's writing But there are many differences. Because I don’t like real life, “writing is a reasonable and legitimate way for me to escape into my own time and space. Writing gives me a very good reason to ignore it.” In real life, it is not necessarily the things I write that give me much mental comfort, but the act of writing itself makes me feel that it is a time for me to take a breath."

Facing it again. Works

"The most satisfying part is the writing, which is more concise and relaxed"

When I was writing in my youth, I always spared no effort, "I wish every line was golden." sentence". During the revision process, Jiang Nan had a different mood.

This revised version of the book has added more than 60,000 pieces of content, mainly the revision of words and sentences, but there has been no major change in the plot. "The most satisfactory part after the revision is the text. The new version of the text should be more concise and relaxed: it is enthusiastic when the fire is cooking the oil, and it is full of energy and tension when laying the groundwork."

Di'an, who is also a writer, admires Jiangnan's courage to revise old books: "I never read the novels I wrote from beginning to end. I always feel that it is a past self, left there, and there are There were a lot of embarrassing moments, like looking through a photo album from my childhood. I didn’t have the courage.” She believes that revising a multi-million-word work is like running a four-kilometer winter cross-country run in middle school. The long-distance run can take up to half an hour. It will end, but writing has to support this process for a year, two years or even longer, and there will be countless times in the middle where I feel like giving up.

After experiencing many hardships in the writing process, I learned to live in peace with myself.

"Because I accepted that when I wrote this work ten years ago, I still had some immature things." Maybe the old work will allow people to see many of the flaws in the past, "but the old work is who I used to be, and it is there." There, it is impossible to change, and it is impossible for you to change your mood when you were fifteen, twenty-five or even thirty-five years old when you were writing."
