【79.]

Tingting: Hello, everyone.

Tingting: Is anyone there?

Tangtang: Yep.

Xu Chi: ?

Tingting: Today I am here not for pushing Shortie to update. Instead, I want to discuss with you about how to increase the happiness of writing.

Xu Chi: ??

Tangtang: OK.

Tingting: OK, let’s start.

Tingting: One day, as I woke up, I realized that I suddenly became Shortie. And I had inherited his talent in writing. With it, I could write numerous excellent works. However, I was always upset, because I only had no more than 100 fans. Therefore, no matter how well I wrote, I was not popular.

Tangtang: Are there any other supplementary conditions?

Tingting: Yes.

Ting Ting: Although I had become Shortie, I kept my original personality and habits. In other words, I was still that smart Ting Ting.

Tangtang: ?

Tingting: Let me finish.

Tingting: One day there were a few more negative comments about my works. Attention: I mean the sort of comments which threw the baby out with the bathwater.

Ting Ting: At this time, three emotions rose in my heart, which drove me to deal with this matter in three different ways.

Tingting: Next, let’s analyze these three situations: First, I was angry, but I ignored these comments. I was a smart girl, so I thought the readers making these comments were stupid after I read them. Now that they didn’t understand my works, advising them was just like casting pearls before swine. As a smart person, the best choice was to stay away from these readers.

Tingting: Second, I was so angry that I decided to debate with them. I was a human being, which was more important than the fact that I was a writer. Every normal person would doubtless got angry, especially facing these people denigrating one’s works. Therefore, I finally argued fiercely with them.

Tingting: Third, I wanted to escape from this circle. After reading these comments, I began to doubt myself. Maybe they were right, and I indeed didn’t have the ability to write stories. Even if I was confident with my works, more and more negative comments made me less confident. At this time, I read the works of other writers, which surprised me and let me know the big gap between me and the legendary writer, which finally crushed me. As a smart person, I should let it go and give up writing. Also, I thought I had no talent in writing, so I chose to quit writing. Now that writing was just one of my hobbies, I wouldn’t be angry or upset with the negative comments any more as long as I gave up writing. Then, I would be relieved.

Tingting: However, Tingting appeared at this time, who was my fan and encouraged me with other fans every day. Although they didn’t post too many comments, I at least felt relieved. Due to that, I’d like to continue writing.

Tingting: So that’s what happened to me. While some people were supporting me, I was denying myself, which made me painful. I couldn’t find a way to get rid of the pain.

Tangtang: One day I woke up and became Guinea Pig. Then I knew Shortie and made friends with him. After I read his works, I didn’t think his work was as bad as he said. If he continued writing, he would certainly get more good comments and more fans. He was smart, but he was no longer so confident in himself.

Tangtang: Well, let me interview Short-Tailed Cat. I’d like to ask you a question: When will you forget that person you love?
