Chapter 282(2/3)

"You really think so?"

Mary's heart moved and she asked subconsciously.

"certainly."

Monica smiled and said: "As Chandler's friends, we all know that although he complains about his parents crazily, he actually still has deep feelings for his parents, and they actually have a good relationship with each other.

Now, taking advantage of the show's effect and taking advantage of the opportunity to sell a wave of books, what's the problem?

Besides, even Chandler is preparing to sell books.

what do you say that is?

Oh, right!

"My First Half of Life"..."

"Chandler is going to write a book too?"

Mary's eyes became much more intense.

"I heard that too."

Linda, an alcoholic, finally interjected: "Originally, it seemed that it was co-written by mother and son. The perspective is that of a young Chandler, who has the fantasy experience of Nora Bean, the world-famous Liu Bei novelist.

But I heard that someone stopped it later and let it go."

"Um."

Monica nodded: "Chuck was the one who called it quits. The impact was not very good. Chandler has a bright future. He can joke and complain to gain followers, but he can't follow his mother's path.

Especially writing this kind of joint novel has far more ethical concerns than a simple Liu Bei novel, so I didn’t let Nora write it directly.

Instead, let Chandler write it, cut out the overly explicit descriptions, and strive to be colorful but not vulgar..."

"So will Nora Bing mentor Chandler?"

Mary asked.

"Of course."

Monica smiled and said: "After all, this is Chandler's first time writing a book, and who is more qualified to guide him than his mother? In fact, this is more like an autobiography, and it is indispensable that Nora's perspective as a mother is missing."

"It's great...I mean, mother and son can cooperate."

Mary said gaffefully: "If possible, I would also like to meet Nora... For Sheldon's grandmother, you don't know, she likes Nora the most, saying that she is a representative of American women and is great at everything she does.

.

For example, writing.

Not only is she extremely talented, but she is also willing to spend time collecting ideas so that she can write such a moving chapter.

For example, the book "Passion Harvest".

I heard that she wrote it after going to a large ranch in Texas to collect information..."

After saying this, facing the strange looks from Monica and Linda, she paused for a moment and quickly made up her mind.

"I heard it from Grandma Sheldon. She loved that book so much. She read it many times and collected the chapter pages she liked as folded pages. It's such a good book, all folded pages..."

"I've seen it too."

Linda, who was drunk, withdrew her gaze from Mary and said in a daze: "It is indeed very Texas-like, very wild..."

"hehe."

Monica could only laugh at this.

She has no interest in this, and she won't go out of her way to read all of Chandler's mother's books just because she is Chandler's good friend.

After all, Chandler's mother, Nora Bing, has written so many books.

But who let her have a roommate Rachel who is an ardent fan?

Rachel has read all of Nora Bean's novels, more than once. According to her, "I carry it with me when I travel, and there must be a copy under my pillow when I sleep. At one time, I even wanted to imitate my idol and start writing."

Rachel, who was so motivated, learned that Chandler was the son of her idol and met Nora through her old circle of friends, so she studied Nora's book even more deeply.

In speaking and acting, it comes out naturally.

As a roommate, Monica could not avoid being passively indoctrinated by Rachel into many classic scenes and plots from Nora Liu Bei's novel universe.

Among them is this so-called Passion Harvest.

If I remember correctly, the summary of the story is that the heroine is called Passion, and she inherits her father's farm, and there is a stallion on the farm...

Regardless of whether the stallion was a metaphor or a literal one, Monica didn't dare to listen any further.

But she also knew why Chuck wanted to stop the cooperation between Chandler and his mother Nora.

no way!

Even in the open United States, books like Nora's are beyond the scope of what normal people can accept. They belong to a niche within a niche. The key is that they can't even be cute in their own territory. They are destined to attract resentment and criticism from the public.

.

In the United States, where the people are infinitely divided, if you want to be the leader, you must obtain the greatest common denominator.

Being a minority to the extreme means that you are obviously cutting yourself off from this path, which is not advisable.

While the three were chatting, the alcoholic Linda's phone rang, and Linda took the cell phone and went out to answer the call.

“I’ll call you when Nora comes over.”

After Monica watched Linda leave, she suddenly whispered to Mary.

"Thanks."

Mary was happy at first, but then she realized from Monica's expression that she might have been exposed, and her smile froze: "For Grandma Sheldon..."

"No need to explain."

Monica smiled and comforted: "I understand this expression. My best friend and roommate Rachel is Nora's most ardent fan. She also wanted to write novels like her idol.

When Nora came over at that time, she specifically asked for advice, and she also wrote for a while afterwards, and your expression now is the same as hers at that time."

"That's it..."

Mary was embarrassed for a while, then she couldn't help but asked curiously: "What happened next? Did this Rachel succeed?"

"Her."

Monica couldn't help shaking her head and laughing: "Like reading novels and writing novels are completely different concepts.

Let me put it this way.

She loved Nora's novels so much at that time, but now that she has really tried to write them, she has become disinterested in such novels and rarely reads them anymore."

"how so?"

Mary was shocked and confused.

"Because interest and work are completely different concepts."

Monica explained: “If something is a hobby, it can persist for a long time, but if it becomes a task that must be completed and you have to rely on it to make money, it will gradually become a kind of torture.

Rachel encountered a setback at the beginning.

That is, she has never written before. Even if Nora told her the trick, she still has a lot of life experience...but she has no writing skills and there are many typos.

It directly dampened her enthusiasm.

And then there’s nothing more.”

"Writing..."

Mary was nervous at first, but upon hearing this, her expression immediately relaxed, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Monica noticed it and opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.

She knew that this was a common misconception among novices. At that time, Rachel was the same, thinking that she was good at writing, with beautiful writing and touching plots.

However, the reality is that there is no need for outsiders to evaluate it. As long as you put these words there and read them again the next day, you may have a different feeling.

When I read it again after a few months, I just couldn't bear to look at it and thought, "Who wrote this shit?", and then I gave up completely.

Obviously, Mary is still in the initial stage of excitement as a novice. No wonder she flew so far to find Nora Bing.

I'm afraid that not only do I want to meet my idol to ask for advice, but I also want to ask for help in publishing a book.

She also heard that little Sheldon's family had financial problems recently.

Making money by publishing books is definitely a choice with low threshold but very imaginative rewards.

"Linda, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Monica noticed the alcoholic Linda walking in in despair, and immediately looked over.

"Patrick, my husband, he passed away."

muttered Linda, an alcoholic.

"What?!"
