#150 - Where is inspiration?
"Goodbye, my university life! Goodbye, Tianyin!"
In a dormitory room, Tian Dou hugged her best friend goodbye.
"Dou Dou, should I help you carry your suitcase down?" her best friend asked.
Tian Dou laughed, "No need! Look at my luggage, it's very light!"
Besides her favorite outfits, she had donated the rest of her belongings to the school's charity shop before leaving.
Apart from clothes, the heaviest items in her luggage were a few paper books and her laptop.
Her best friend encouraged her, "I believe your dream of becoming a writer will definitely come true! Go for it!"
"Yeah!"
Tian Dou waved goodbye, picking up a trash bag as she left, intending to throw it away.
"Thesis written, defense done, finally graduated... Now I have the energy to start writing what I like and want to write, to realize my dream of becoming a writer!"
Filled with anticipation, Tian Dou fantasized about her novel being adored by millions.
Her destination was Linhai City, because her father had gone there to start a business after retiring, and now his business was doing fairly well. She hoped they could be in the same city.
Tian Dou had previously told her father that she wanted to write full-time. Although her father was quite surprised, he was still very supportive.
On the one hand, he had the financial means, and on the other hand, Tian Dou's parents had divorced when she was young, and her father always felt somewhat indebted to her. Tian Dou had always been sensible and rarely asked him for anything, so he tried his best to satisfy her whenever she wanted something.
Her father joked with Tian Dou, "I wanted to write novels when I was young, but I wrote so badly that I gave up. I never realized you had a talent for writing. If you want to try, go ahead. It doesn't matter if you fail. If you become a famous writer in the future, I can brag about it to others."
Tian Dou's desire to write was not a sudden impulse.
From a very young age, she loved reading comic books, asking her father to read the words she couldn't understand.
When she was a little older, she enjoyed reading all kinds of miscellaneous books on the bookshelf, regardless of whether she understood them or not.
Once, when her father went to work, she read a romance novel she found in some corner. When her father came back, she told him half-understood sentences she had read in the book: "Love brings happiness, but it also brings torment."
Her father didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately took her to buy some fairy tale books suitable for children on the weekend.
After moving once when she grew up, there were several bookstores around, and it became even more convenient for Tian Dou to read. She liked to go to bookstores to read all kinds of books in her spare time. Sometimes she was so engrossed in reading that she forgot to eat, and her father would bring her home and lecture her.
By the time she was in high school, the ideal of becoming a writer had been deeply planted in her heart, but she wrote tens of thousands of words in a fit of enthusiasm, and then, when the excitement passed, she was dismayed to find that what she had written was a pile of garbage.
Moreover, her father found the novel she had written while cleaning the room and advised her to study hard for the college entrance examination and not waste her energy on meaningless things.
Tian Dou temporarily buried her dream of becoming a writer in her heart.
After entering university, she became even more addicted to reading novels, especially female-oriented novels, such as "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me," "Don't Mess with the Cold and Ruthless Young Master," "The Alluring Eldest Daughter Wants to Fight for a Husband"...
In her senior year, she rekindled her writing dream, began to conceive her own works, and looked for some writing techniques. After having some ideas, she was afraid that what she wrote would be too bad and she would be scolded by readers, so she hesitated every time she wanted to start writing.
Until she finally wrote tens of thousands of words and showed them to her best friend, who encouraged her, and she finally gained some confidence.
Then, according to what she read online, she sent the first tens of thousands of words to the editor for internal submission, and the manuscript was successfully approved.
"I still have writing talent!" Tian Dou thought happily, "Soon I will reach the peak of my life and marry a domineering CEO!"
This was also an important reason why she had the courage to try full-time writing.
...
"Linhai City, arrived!"
The high-speed train Tian Dou was on arrived at four in the morning. Because it was too early, she didn't ask her father to pick her up.
The subway wouldn't open until six o'clock, so she had breakfast at KFC in the station and read a novel.
She was looking forward to seeing her father, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Several hours later.
"Dad!"
"My daughter is back! You must be tired!" Tian Dou's father looked her up and down and asked with a smile, "Why do I feel like you've lost weight again recently? Have you been eating properly?"
Tian Dou felt sleepy and tired, and collapsed on the sofa, but the excitement of the new life about to begin overwhelmed her sleepiness: "I'm eating well!"
After her father listened to her complaints about school life and the hardship of the journey, he talked about business: "Regarding the matter of renting a house, didn't you say you wanted a cheaper one? A friend of mine in business has a shared house for rent. It's an old-fashioned one, the floor is relatively high and there is no elevator. Do you think it's okay? Do you want to go see it first?"
Tian Dou nodded, "Okay, since writing is a sedentary activity, going up and down the stairs every day will be my exercise."
...
A regular room, a few square meters in size, containing a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk for writing, was exactly what Tian Dou wanted.
Moving into her new home without stopping, buying all kinds of daily necessities, Tian Dou was so tired on her first day in Linhai City that she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
The writing life officially began.
Tian Dou plans not to publish for the time being, but to save up manuscripts, so that she has the opportunity to modify any problems.
She originally thought that without the interference of papers, defenses, and other chores, writing wholeheartedly would definitely be fast.
However, when she really started to gradually implement the conception, she realized many problems that she had not anticipated before writing.
For example, Tian Dou has recently been struggling with a problem. The male lead she set up is a domineering CEO, who is very handsome and domineering when he appears, but later she feels that writing him is very rigid, not vivid enough, and she always feels that she can't love him.
In other words, it is an empty shell, without a soul.
She also looked for a lot of novels about domineering CEOs to observe and learn from, but she always felt that she didn't write the right flavor.
Tian Dou has been thinking about this problem when she sleeps these days, frowning, tossing and turning. After thinking about it, she sent a message to her best friend for help: "Tianyin, are you there!"
"What's wrong?"
"I've been having writer's block these two days. Isn't the male lead in my book a domineering CEO, but recently I feel like I can't write the taste of a domineering CEO."
"Well, what specific aspect is it?"
"I can't imagine the feeling of being rich, romantic, devoted, and domineering. I always unconsciously write him as very respectful to his employees, getting along harmoniously, and I can't bear to let him scold the heroine with a bad temper. He doesn't look like a domineering CEO, but a bit like a class teacher, a patriarch. When I try to write it forcibly, I feel very stiff.
Moreover, apart from wearing expensive suits and driving luxury cars, which I feel are vulgar things to write, I can't reflect his wealth in other aspects of his life. This is completely different from the initial conception!"
"Haha, this shows that you are a very gentle person!"
"Then do you have any suggestions?"
"Well... speaking of which, I saw a game called 'Boring Life' before, which said that you can experience the happiness of rich people, and it's been quite a buzz online! Let me check... Oh, it just went on sale these two days. I feel like you can try it! It should help you describe the domineering CEO."
"Okay, I'll go take a look! Love you!"
Tian Dou ended the conversation. Although she didn't have much hope, she decided to play and try it.
She can't get anything from reading novels, maybe playing games can provide some inspiration in another way?
