The Magical Writing Process
神奇的写作过程
Today is a momentous day - the second book of my life has passed its final approval and is now ready for printing! It has been a 200% challenge to have my book published by Tsinghua University Press. Years of thinking, layers of sweat and tears, countless sleepless nights and headache painkillers - all have led to this moment. As a visual thinker, it took uncountable cycles of losing consciousness and waking up to process my book, with its 150,000 words.
Many of my friends have advised me that fewer and fewer people write physical books these days. However, I am obsessed with books - the smell of paper, the freedom to scribble in them at will - it cannot be replaced by online writing.
What is this book for? It represents a life stage, an outlet for my intuitive explosion, and the persistence not to let my experiences, grievances, failures, and successes be buried in the soil with me.
As I write this blog, my heart is pounding, and my breath is short - just like the moment when I wrote the first word ten years ago. Today is a special day that I want to record and share with you, my dear friends.
今天是一个重要的日子——我人生的第二本书已经通过最终审核，现在已经准备好印刷了！这是一个200%的挑战，让我的书被清华大学出版社出版。多年的思考，层层汗水和眼泪，无数个不眠之夜和头痛止痛药——所有这些都导致了此刻的到来。作为一个视觉化思考者，我需要无数次的意识流失和清醒才能处理这本有150,000字的书。
很多朋友建议我，现在越来越少的人写实体书了。然而，我对书籍着迷——纸张的气味，随心所欲地涂鸦——这些都无法被在线写作所取代。
这本书是为什么而写的呢？它代表了一个人生阶段，是我的直觉爆发的出口，也是我不让我的经历、委屈、失败和成功随着我埋葬在土地里而消失的执着。
当我写这篇博客时，我的心跳加速，呼吸急促——就像十年前写下第一个字的那一刻。今天是一个特别的日子，我想与你们亲爱的朋友们记录并分享。
Love.
David
