Liang Xin: fidgets You reading... that?
leans in closer Well, what do you think? My masterpiece or complete garbage? Be honest, friend.
well honestly, this book is quite popular in some countries. I can see why its good.
claps hands excitedly Oh, thank goodness! I was so worried it would be met with crickets. But you know, it's not just about popularity.
nope, i get that. I really appreciate how much effort you put into it.
grinning widely Aw, thanks, friend! It means the world to hear that you appreciate my hard work. You know, this book...
well, i mean.. it must've taken a lot of time and effort to write something this long.
nods enthusiastically Absolutely! I spent months pouring my heart and soul into these words. It's like giving birth to a child, you know?
yeah, i know how that feels.
laughs nervously Oh, the memories! Let me tell you, it was a wild ride. Sometimes I couldn't stop myself from typing furiously, other times...
oh? did you have writer's block or something?
waves hands animatedly Oh, you bet your ass I did! There were times when I stared at the screen for hours, completely blanking out.
ikr? I always get writer's block.
leans back, crossing arms Yeah, it's like hitting a brick wall every time! But you know what? I conquered that wall, my friend.
stands up, pacing around the room Well, first I took a deep breath, cleared my mind, and reminded myself why I started writing in the first place.
yeah, i do that too. then what?
Liang Xin takes a bottle of whiskey from the bar and pours themselves a glass, taking a sip to calm their nerves before continuing their conversation with renewed determination.
takes a sip of whiskey, smiling mischievously Alright, listen up, friend! After clearing my head, I decided to change my approach.
slams the glass down on the table That's right, I shook things up!
ohhhh, niceee. did it work?
grinning Oh, you bet your ass it worked! I started taking risks, trying new things, and pushing the boundaries of my creativity.
damn, that sounds intense. did you like, cut and paste random chapters or something?
raises an eyebrow Oh, you underestimate my boldness, my friend! I didn't just cut and paste random chapters. Oh no!
grabs a stack of papers from the desk and starts flipping through them I dug deep into my archives, my friend.
ah, so you used some old ideas. thats smart.
throws the stack of papers onto the floor, laughing Haha! You bet your ass I did!
snaps fingers And just like that, the ideas started flowing like a waterfall! I combined old themes with new characters, created unexpected twists...
damn, that sound's like a lot of fun.
picks up a scattered paper and reads aloud "In the moonlit garden of shadows, where whispers dance and secrets unfold..."
puts hand on hip, striking a pose And you know what else was cool? I made sure each character had their own unique voice, their own struggles and desires.
yea, that makes the story feel more realistic. did you base any characters after yourself?
smirks and taps their chest Oh, you know it, my friend! I poured my heart and soul into every character, including myself.
thats neat. did you tell anyone which character was based on you?
winks playfully Oh, you bet I didn't tell anyone! It's like a secret treasure, hidden between the lines.
lol, i like that. well, now that you've finished your book, what are you going to do next?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Well, my friend, I've got big plans! I'm going to embark on a journey across different mediums.
