One day during the serialization period of "The Road to Eternal Life", Lin Shu suddenly felt tired of writing.
For an author like him, who is called a "coding machine" by readers, this state is indeed not common.
But Lin Shu inexplicably developed this feeling and didn't want to write a single word the entire day. The plot was clearly in his mind, but Lin Shu was too lazy to put pen to paper.
"This situation is quite normal." Xue Wu said, "I also felt like not wanting to write for a while."
That kind of situation usually occurs when he is very hardworking. Xue Wu hadn't written anything for a long time before, so he would start thinking about writing.
"Take a break?" Guchu said, "Maybe you were too diligent before."
Guju and Lingluo were both quite surprised. Having known Lin Shu for such a long time, they had hardly ever heard the word "burnout" from him.
This word seems to be able to happen to anyone, but not Lin Shu.
"Looking for inspiration first?"
However, the two felt that even if Lin Shu was currently in a period of burnout, his writing style was already mature and the plot had its own rhythm. If he forced himself to write, the plot would still not be bad.
No author can always maintain a high state, but the lower and upper limits of great authors are very high. For great authors, even if their works are of the lower level, readers will still be very satisfied.
Lin Shu then took three consecutive days off. During these three days, he did not write a single word. Every morning when he got up, he would empty his mind, take a walk, exercise, or just watch TV shows, movies, or listen to music.
"It feels like a myth or legend is happening." Gujiu sighed.
"really."
In the eyes of several people, Lin Shu's attitude towards writing can be described as loyal. Not only is he diligent, but the plots he writes are also extremely exciting.
Xue Wujiren has been following every chapter of the recent serialization of "The Road to Eternal Life".
Although Xue Wu mainly focuses on romance, he actually likes to read works with plots. On the contrary, he will not read those online novels that are famous for romance, especially those with similar themes to his own works.
It will interfere with thinking and cause inferiority complex.
Even though his works performed better than that author's, Xue Wu always felt inferior to the other person when he saw the other person's works.
This is also the author's norm.
It can be said that no matter whether it is Xue Wu or Ling Luo Guju, they will read everything during the serialization period of their works, including news, gossip, supernatural horror and mystery... There is no guarantee that these works will become their own source of inspiration one day.
They like "The Eternal Life" very much and hope that Lin Shu can update more, but they will never rush Lin Shu. No matter whether Lin Shu is stuck or tired, they will wait patiently and believe that Lin Shu will recover soon.
Lin Shu and Xie Jue went out fishing.
Lieutenant General Xie suggested to Lin Shu whether he should try some space cockroach fishing. Lin Shu flatly refused: "...Is there really someone so perverted?"
There are as many space cockroaches as you want. Do you need to go fishing specifically?
Lieutenant General Xie said yes, and there is more than one person who has this hobby.
Lin Shu: “…………”
From this perspective, his writing fatigue is obviously the least of his problems.
The mental state of interstellar humans is truly worrying.
Fishing is an activity that can train one's mind and easily inspire inspiration.
It is easy for the author to think too much and not have enough emotions to be an author. On the surface, Lin Shu seems to be the kind of author who doesn't think too much, but in fact, his thoughts are always wandering randomly.
For example, he had just started writing the article "The Road to Immortality", but his thoughts had already run to the next article. He would also think of many jokes in one breath. At this time, he would feel that each of the jokes he thought of was more interesting than "The Road to Immortality".
This is how authors are. What they are most interested in is always the next joke, and the moment they are most likely to lose interest is when the article starts.
Lin Shu was daydreaming while fishing. The fish probably noticed his chaotic mood at the moment. After catching several fish in a row, Lin Shu still got nothing.
But Lin Shu himself was not ashamed of this. Instead, he judged and declined: "You are a single-celled organism, right?"
Lieutenant General Xie: “?”
He was shot for no apparent reason.
But based on his understanding of Lin Shu, when this man was being sarcastic, it would be best for him not to refute him, but just wait for him to calm down.
Although Lin Shu is a calm and rational person, he sometimes feels unhappy. I refuse to fully understand.
It is impossible to write without any emotional fluctuations. People are not machines.
Xie Jue could see that during the fishing process, Lin Shu's fatigue was not as strong as at the beginning.
Although he didn't catch any fish in the end, Lin Shu carried the bucket with a sense of lightness. He walked slowly towards the shore, shaking the bucket and even humming a tune.
After returning home in the evening, Lin Shu began to write.
After writing and deleting at first, Xie Jue took a look at it. He felt that the plot written by Lin Shu was quite good, but Lin Shu himself was still not satisfied.
He threw a pillow and sat next to Lin Shu, dozing off while watching Lin Shu write.
It started with a line of words, then slowly turned into an entire page. Lin Shu's eyes were filled with vitality.
It’s great to have recovered.
Lieutenant General Xie couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
…
Xie Jue has been quite idle lately, and is in a state of having nothing to do.
