No.1 What kind of submitted articles can pass the preliminary review of "Mind Stories"?
No submission is guaranteed to pass the preliminary review of "The Minimum Story".
I think a good article must first satisfy the author himself.
The author must have strict requirements for the article and have an accurate positioning of his own narrative style.
Editors can discover but cannot decide whether an article is good or bad, so the most important thing is for the author to check the article himself and try to make it to his own satisfaction, so that he has a chance to pass the preliminary review.
No.2 As the text director of "Mind Shuo" who has always been dealing with words, why did you not publish a book until now?
Generally speaking, as an editor, you are not suitable to publish a book yourself, because the editor needs to grasp the quality of the author's article and communicate with the author about the revision of the article. It is equivalent to acting as a consultant to the author, and sometimes he has to think of some good plots to assist the author in writing.
If an editor publishes a book, it will have some impact on the editing work.
At the beginning of the year, Xiaosi called me and told me that he wanted me to publish an "Editor's Notes" to record my interactions with the authors, and that's when I started to have the courage to write.
Are No.3 and Xiaosi really not a couple?
Definitely not a couple relationship.
Because we have known each other for many years, we can clearly see each other's shortcomings. Even if we imagine a relationship as a couple, it would feel a bit over the top... No. 4 How did Henhen deal with the author?
Will it be harsh?
I will not be harsh on the author. The editor and the author have an equal relationship with each other, and both work based on trust and understanding.
When dealing with authors, I cannot break trust or let others down no matter what.
Only in this way can honesty, dependence, and trust be established.
No.5 How did Hehen develop his ability as an editor?
Read more and review more manuscripts, and you will naturally find that writing has certain rules. Sometimes I can accurately assert that a certain article is the author's debut work.
As you gain more experience in reading, you will naturally be able to read a lot of information from articles. Writing is like learning, with stages and grades. Editors need to make themselves more professional and authoritative through constant reading.
No.6 What does Henhen like to eat the most?
Do you have any research on food?
There are so many delicious things. Sometimes I make snacks and they feel very delicious. I also want to record the delicious dishes I eat. I think food makes life very interesting.
For example, if you pair five-spice shredded beef with borscht soup, you will have a happy feeling. For example, if a certain ingredient is used in a special way, the taste will be interesting.
No.7 What is your current living situation like?
Recently, I have been working on a manuscript, and my mood has been unstable, and I have been described as "having fits and starts".... No. 8 What do you think is the most important thing about writing?
In "Traces", I recorded some opinions on writing. I think the most important thing in writing is to find the true feeling in the heart, find a narrative method that suits you, and write without conforming to any feeling or style.
In addition, the author also needs to have a correct and unconventional aesthetic sense.
