"Diva Leo, is this name an English name?" Editor Yuan Ming asked on the other end of the phone.

"It's a name close to that of South America."

"Where's Jonaya?"

"Is there any problem?" Liu Yun asked.

"It's best to use local names, like Lu Mingfei, Wang Daming, and Shi Qiang. For female characters, names like Lin Zi, Zhi Zi, and Liara are a bit discouraging."

Liuyun pretended to be relaxed and replied, "I know, change the name to Chinese. Is there anything else? Is the plot ok?"

If I had known that I would get a nonsensical lesson, I might as well not have asked this question. The editor said a lot like a firecracker, "After all, it's not like a physical book, it's an online article. What readers want is to have fun, and the most important thing is to have fun reading it."

, if you write about the conflict between two alien civilizations, it is better to write about the conflict between alien civilization and earth civilization. The sense of immersion will be stronger, especially in the first few chapters. The sense of immersion is very important and determines half of the score of this book.

Of course, there is absolutely no problem with my writing skills. After all, I was the winner of an essay contest and published many best-selling novels. I just need to keep up with the rhythm of online writing in terms of thinking and writing habits."

Liu Yun was not angry, but a little helpless. He was almost used to it. He was a best-selling author after all. He had been writing online articles for several years and his results were good. He was just around the corner.

From now on, we should rarely communicate with editors about plot and characters. Of course, editors understand readers’ tastes, but not all of them. Sometimes, you still have to listen to yourself.

After the phone call, I felt depressed. He is a writer who thinks very quickly. It only takes four or five hours to update 8,000 to 10,000 words a day. He seems to have brains in his ten fingers. With ten engines running at the same time, he can easily enter the story.

First change the names of the people, and then read through the first ten chapters.

If there is an alien civilization on one side and an earth civilization on the other, then let the alien civilization have technological power hundreds of times greater than earth's technology, and it can wipe out mankind in a few minutes.

With this modification, the story is tense from the beginning and enters countdown mode.

The advantages are clear at a glance, and the emotions are easy to deal with, including nervousness, fear, being overwhelmed, and resignation. These are the only emotions that can attract readers to continue reading.

I made up my mind and started to work. My fingers were tapping on the keyboard. Civilization T204, 0.7 light-years away from the earth, a rocky planet, captain Divaleo, now changed to Sean, a Chinese name, and it feels a bit like a Western name.

The spacecraft carries 109 automatic life machines and 2 million human embryos in the cold storage warehouse...

Can civilization T204 continue to thrive on the new planet?

Wait, have you seen this storyline before?

Liu Yun is a fan of science fiction novels. When he was a child, whenever "Science Fiction World" was published, he would rush to the newsstand to buy the magazine as soon as possible and read every article.

At that time, Liu Yun dreamed that one day he could write good science fiction novels.

There are too many novels about the contact between two civilizations. Ted Chiang's "The Story of Your Life" is about the arrival of alien civilizations on the earth.

Why did I think of this book? It’s really baffling. I don’t need to consider all the books about alien civilizations coming to the earth, because the story I am writing is about to happen on a planet 0.7 light-years away.

"A Space Odyssey"? No, Arthur C. Clarke's book is so classic that it is impossible to be the same as it. That would be tantamount to digging your own grave.

What other books are there? What are you worried about?

Even if there are some similarities in settings, it must be a completely different new story. First of all, the word "Civilization T204" has never appeared in any novel.

Thinking of this, Liu Yun's head began to hurt, and his temples on both sides felt swollen and sore.

My hands are also a bit unruly.

He resisted and typed a few more lines on the keyboard. His fingers trembled violently.

Could it be the kind of hand tremor Asimov developed in his later years?

In his later years, Asimov was unable to complete typing work at all. His hands were completely unable to type accurate words on the typewriter, and he finally had no choice but to stop writing.

Could it be that he will suffer from hand tremors at such a young age?

Liu Yun didn't want to believe it, but his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't help but not believe it.

Hand tremor? Is there such a problem? I think it is. I have seen it somewhere.

Can't remember...

I've been having some memory problems recently. It's all because of the failure of my last book. Although I haven't had a particularly good-selling book since my debut, I am still a relatively famous author. However, the editor of my last book said that poor sales were expected.

Now is the era of easy reading, no one wants to read anything too profound.

Is it profound? Liu Yun doesn’t think so.

He guessed that the writing style needed to be more refined, and the subject matter was not really profound.

Does it have to be about writing about harems, time travel, and pocketing two million dollars at every turn to be considered easy?

Is there such a disease as hand tremor? This question lingered in his mind, and Liu Yun reluctantly wrote another thousand words. He finally lost.

Enough, let’s search to see if there is such a disease.

Sure enough, there is. Clinically, hand tremor is divided into: resting tremor, kinetic tremor, postural tremor, rebound tremor and vibratory tremor. Although tremor manifests as shaking of the hands, its root cause is mostly in the brain, all due to certain diseases.

This disorder causes damage to areas of the brain involved in motor coordination.

What? A brain disease? Isn’t this Alzheimer’s?

Wait a minute, the causes of hand tremors include Parkinson's syndrome, hepatolenticular degeneration, hepatic encephalopathy, cerebellum, brainstem lesions, cerebral arteriosclerosis, cerebral ischemia, drug poisoning, dementia, etc.

Judging from the time, place, age and triggering factors, the onset of hand tremor in the elderly is likely to be caused by senile hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and sudden mental stimulation.

Generally speaking, symptoms of hand tremor often appear in the elderly. You should see a neurologist, endocrinologist and metabolic doctor for appropriate examination in time to clarify the cause and provide correct treatment.

Parkinson's syndrome? Cerebral arteriosclerosis?

Cerebral arteriosclerosis should be impossible at Liu Yun's age, so what's left is Parkinson's disease? If it's Parkinson's disease, there's no way to cure it.

How can a writer write if he can't type? How can a writer write if he can't type because of Parkinson's disease?

Just as I was thinking about these troublesome things, my editor Yuan Ming sent another message. There will be an author meeting at the book fair next week, and Liu Yun is invited to attend.

This is a good opportunity for writers to promote themselves, and the news about their reputation is lukewarm. Indeed, this is a benefit that the editor has contacted, and there is no need to ask the author to participate.

If Liu Yun doesn't want to go, there are many authors under Yuan Ming who are willing to participate, not to mention that the publishing house is not just an editor from Yuan Ming.
