I think 2020 is an extraordinary year for everyone. The epidemic at the beginning of the year caused great changes in the lives of many people, and the stories of many people stayed in that winter forever.

Compared to them, I am lucky. In the uncertainty of returning to work, I picked up the pen of writing again and found my original intention that had been lost for a long time.

It was a lonely and boring day. I casually scrolled through my circle of friends and discovered a writing app called "".

It was an article written by a friend. The word "" in the lower left corner of the link aroused my strong curiosity. I quickly searched on Baidu, and it seemed like a new world had been opened to me at that time.

Simply write and create your creations.

This is a wonderful platform where ordinary people like me can realize their dream of being a writer.

You can record what you see and feel, or you can recite poems and write poems, and you can be as creative as you want. There are no restrictions on subject matter, content, or form, allowing you to travel in the world of words.

Here, there are office workers who are working hard for their careers, young mothers who take care of their children full-time, primary school students and college students who practice writing, and retired elderly people who enjoy writing at home.

Some of them are legendary experts, and some are novices like me. Although we are of different ages and identities, what we have in common is our love for words, so we come together from all over the world.

I like to click on it in the dead of night, read the articles written by Jane friends, reply to every comment with heart, and at the same time write down my own emotional story.

"I write my heart in my handwriting" is the most commonly used sentence by Jian friends. Yes, only words with true feelings and soul can move others and please yourself.

With the encouragement of literary friends, I decided to participate in the daily update challenge.

That day was December 18th, which happened to be my birthday as well. I decided to do something to make this seemingly ordinary but extraordinary day full of ritual.

When I first came here, I was envious of those great people who checked in every day and the little badges behind their names. That is persistence, belief, and honor.

So, the change starts from now. If you don’t dare to set a small goal of earning 100 million first, let’s start with a small plan of daily updates for 20 days. I silently set a flag in my heart.

There is always a dream, what if it comes true.

Come on, the person I am today will be better than the person I was yesterday. I will try my best to make every day in the future memorable. Let me witness it.

So, I began to write, write, write unremittingly every day, trying to record every beautiful moment in my life.

On the day of "Xiaohan", although the weather was cold, my heart was hot because I got the coveted badge! The first small goal, daily update for 20 days, completed!

Looking at this hard-won little badge, my heart is ups and downs.

Although the honor is small, it is inspiring. It is an affirmation of my non-stop writing for 20 days and recognition of my continuous output for 20 days.

I never thought that after putting away my pen for so many years, I would one day pick it up again and write these touching words.

In these 20 days, I have racked my brains and exhausted my energy, but more importantly, it is joy and the power of perseverance that makes me feel happy along the way. Because I know this is just the beginning.

I saw a post on Xiaodao with the title "Why do you come to write", and the answers were varied and made me smile.

Some people say that in order to make friends, you can make friends from all over the world. No one knows each other, so you can speak freely without any scruples;

Some people say that in order to make friends, in order to Get out of singles;

Some people want to realize their dream, a dream of being a writer;

Some people want to lie down and make money after sleeping, as a side job to make money.

For me, the purpose of writing seems to be much simpler, to record life, nothing more.

I don’t want to be manipulated by time or kidnapped by memories. I just want to record the present with words and leave some mark on the ordinary life. The touching, sad, joyful and unforgettable things are all truly recorded.

Because I know that the feathers in the days and the garlic in the years are often the periods in the book called happiness. Although it is light, it warms the heart.

The process of perseverance is always beautiful. Unknowingly, I wrote 100,00 words one after another, and also won the honorary badges of "Creator" and "Daily Update 100 Days".

While constantly outputting, you also need to force yourself to input.

I like to run my fingertips across the pages of a book on a mottled afternoon, immersed in the beautiful atmosphere of reading, immersed in the unique faint fragrance of ink, and immersed in the beauty of those words. of happiness.

This wonderful feeling is like placing yourself in the gentle waves of water, making your body and mind happy and finding peace and belonging.

Immerse yourself in the stories in the book, every frame of scenery is graceful, read the beauty of the scenery, the wonder of time, the truth of the region, and then put the full emotion between the lines in the pen, let a person A beautiful character appears on the paper.

During the writing process, I also secretly fantasized:

Maybe the person on the other end of the computer who is admiring my words happens to be a mother who reads my story. A knowing smile, the feeling of deja vu is very beautiful;

Maybe, he is a food expert, and one of my pictures just aroused the appetite, and I cherish the sympathy and recognition.

Through daily updates, I learned to persevere and insist on doing one thing every day. Perhaps, this thing is insignificant in the eyes of others.

"Why be so persistent if there is no gain!" This is the voice I hear most often around me.

What is income? Everything cannot be defined solely in terms of money. Along the way, every heartfelt comment I received and every blessing from literary friends moved me, and they were all valuable "benefits" I gained!

I always stick to this obsession in my heart and persist in doing things that I think are worthwhile without any explanation.

Because of my love for words, I used to go to bed early and get up early, but now I have become someone who stays up late in the morning to write;

Because of the love in my heart, I sleep until midnight and wake up, Suddenly an idea struck me, and I sat down in front of the computer to write.

Whose youth is not confused, not crazy, and not a devil.

I still have no hesitation and work hard to record them with words, so that many stories in my life will not be forgotten due to the passage of time. I work hard to let time stay in my writing and make everything traceable. , has a beginning and an end.

During the communication with literary friends, I accidentally discovered the public account calling for submissions. I felt like I had been given a shot of chicken blood again. I was full of confidence. I wanted more people to see my story. .

So, I started to submit articles again and again, imagining that the words I was typing in front of the computer late at night would make readers feel the same way, like finding a close friend. The result is that the work is rejected again and again, the manuscript is withdrawn, or the work disappears and no news is heard from it.

But I persisted in doing what I loved, and without any hesitation, I finally received a response after submitting my manuscripts one after another. I received my first royalties in that hot summer.

I remember an issue of "The Reader" said this: "There is only one thing that can make the soul complete, and that is love."

Yes, only love can make it worth it. As time goes by, only the love in the heart can make people extremely brave and strong.

I believe that this consistent feeling for words is like a seed buried deep in the heart. One day it will break out of the ground, sprout branches and leaves of hope, grow into a tree of flowers, and bear fruit. Tired.

Thank you, it is you who allowed me to find the destination of my soul, so my life is no longer mediocre; writing has allowed me to find my original intention, regain my pen, and let me learn to persevere.

Thank you, words allow me to encounter beauty, make my heart bright, and lead me to the sun all the way!
