The cartoonist Otsuka Shiro said that when you go to the publishing house with your own work, the editor’s feelings of reading your comics are exactly the same as when you look at movies that you are not interested in. So if you can meet a movie that makes you feel “interesting!” in just 5 minutes, you can help a lot. Therefore, he suggested that you look at a movie like “Tokyo Road Show” on TV TOKYO. If the movie is not interesting, you can also use it to think why you feel boring. .

If you put it in China, it is CCTV-6. .
The light novel writer Yu You issued a question: Recently, is there more and more people who use the word “open” to express the meaning of “super”? Even some people use “opening” to praise others, which makes him feel very awkward. “Opening” originally refers to cheating. If you want to say it, it should be a nickname. .

The cartoonist Tian Nai shared her own experience: she met a revolutionary story and was annoyed “How good would it be if I could write such a powerful story”, but found that it was just doing it myself. A dream, I am very happy. “Since it is a dream, then I can use this idea myself!”. But when she opened her eyes again, she found that the idea was not as interesting as she imagined. .
The cartoonist Yu Shengzhi has a similar experience: he made a very interesting dream, afraid to forget, he suddenly got up and wrote it on the notebook on the pillow, which was safe to sleep. Woke up the next morning, the notebook only wrote the words “transformation”, and he missed a masterpiece. .

The light novelist SOW once asked a married writer: “How can a light novel writer get married?” The writer replied: “You have to find a girlfriend before you debut.” That day, he was at home. In the subway, tears flowed. .
Illustrator Four Seasons Boys shared their experiences: It is important to meet other writers and other people who are not qualified for marriage. It also depends on the literacy of the other party. .
SOW agrees that although economic stability is very important, if you feel that “if the two sides have different positions, there is no sense of being together”, it will bring a shadow to the feelings. .
Four seasons believe that as long as economic self-reliance is achieved, there will be more choices in mate selection, and priority can be given to their preferences, rather than choosing the spouse because of the economic conditions of the other party. Therefore, whether self-reliance is the primary condition in mate selection. .
SOW Hear, suddenly realized: Many people think that women need no man as long as they achieve economic independence. But in reality, women who are economically independent are not the same, but have more choices. .
Four seasons say that because the things that people in economic independence need can buy themselves, there is freedom to choose objects based on personal preferences. .

Literary writer and translator, Mr. Hiroki, believes that everything is experience, so he once asked the familiar publishing house to experience the work of publishing, to meet with distributors and to sell at bookstores. As a result, both sides were very indifferent to him, making him feel very tired. .
The clerk of a bookstore didn’t even look at the head of the eye, let him follow the butt for an hour before finally allowing him to come in and talk.
The person in charge of the bookshelf said, “It is useless to tell me that you have to talk to the person in charge of purchasing.” When the head wood went underground, the purchase reprimanded him. “The above people don’t agree to buy, how can I make a good idea!” The head wood traveled six times on both sides. The job of selling is harder than he thought. .
The distributors judge how many goods are entered through the sales status of similar books. The book that the head wood is striving for is not the same as the book that the distributor is based on, but the other party simply ignores it. However, there is also a small distributor who is willing to listen to him and greatly increase the number of purchases. There is sadness and joy. .
After all, when the head wood appears as the author, the treatment can be completely different. This made him deeply understand that purely as an author to the bookstore, it is completely difficult to understand the hard work of sales. .
There is also a clerk in the bookstore waving a hand: “Look at this store, where is there a place to put your book?” If his work is said by himself, the head wood will cry out. .
With this experience, I’m seeing the bookstore’s own work and the place where his work is, I’m more moved than before, I want to hold the sales and bookstore clerk’s hand, from Express your gratitude inwardly. .
The first tweet was spread, and he was afraid of the reader’s misunderstanding and added. .
Taumu said that he did not want to complain about the bad attitude of distributors and bookstores, but just wanted to emphasize the hard work of publishing. If the distributors and bookstores follow the requirements of each sale and enter the book one by one, they will go bankrupt. There is no way for this. Especially in Tokyo’s bookstores, the sales of various publishers go door by door, and it is impossible to receive them in a gentle and courteous manner. .
In this case, when a bookstore agrees to enter his book, the heart of the head wood will be filled with sincere gratitude to the sales and staff. This is the core he wants to express. .
By the way, the first sale of the head wood is not his own work, but another book that the publishing house is going to produce at the time. Because this publishing house is also very small, it is even harder. .
Of course, there are also bookstores with good attitudes, which left a good impression on Taumu. .
In addition, the first time after the incident, it was learned that a bookstore was cold to him at the time, because the senior clerk wanted to use this method to temper his new sales. (And according to the response of the head wood to the comments of the netizens, he did not make an appointment with the bookstore beforehand, and rushed to sell it.)
There is also a bookstore clerk who established friendship with him during this time. After leaving the company, he also visited the head of the hospital several times. .
All in all, this is a rare experience. Toumu has also worked in printing houses and warehouses, and asked the bookbinding factory to teach him a lot of things, which are valuable experiences. Unexpectedly, the one that taught him the most and the deepest memories was the warehouse. The head wood wants to find opportunities and talk about the things at the time. .
