I’m sorry for leaving you without an update for so long. Some readers have asked whether I’m going to abandon this novel. The answer is no. Although I really haven’t been in the right frame of mind, I’ll do my best to finish it.
After finishing Winding Silk, my health took a turn for the worse, mainly because spending so long sitting in front of the computer gave me severe cervical spondylosis. Between work and my health, I wrote and stopped repeatedly on Flourishing Tang. The longer I went without writing, the harder it became to find my rhythm. Flourishing Tang is a deeply oppressive story, and getting caught up in it made my mood grow dark. For a while, I really did want to get away from it. But deep down, I couldn’t bear to let it go. I still can’t say when I’ll finish it. All I can say is that I won’t abandon it, and I’ll do my best to get back on track.
So lately I’ve been writing a lighthearted, fluffy novel, Reborn: Childhood Sweethearts, to lift my spirits and rediscover the joy of writing. It’s being posted under the book ID of an old collection of comments I made. I didn’t create a new book ID because I don’t want to promote it. It’s purely a change of pace, and I can’t promise regular updates. I’m just letting my readers know what I’ve been up to lately. Maybe I’ll finish it before returning to Flourishing Tang, or maybe I’ll find the motivation to write Flourishing Tang before I finish it. Either way, thank you, dear readers, for putting up with Bobo. Thank you.
I stopped updating on February 7, 2010. I check back from time to time, and nine years have passed in the blink of an eye. My child is old enough to run errands, but Bobo has never returned or given any explanation. He promised to fill in the gaps and not abandon the project. Where is he?
My child is already in elementary school, and Bobo is still making me stay at the bottom of the pit? Just give me a heads-up, and I'll give up. 😭
Where has Bobo gone? I've been lurking for years, checking back every now and then, but there's still no update. I'm looking forward to Bobo's return.
Because Wan Qingsi remembered Bobo
It was such a good book, why did you stop writing it?
Eight years have passed, and my daughter is already in elementary school! 😭
I want to tell everyone, stop waiting! It's obvious he has character issues! He doesn't keep his word! And after all these years! Don't you understand?
Where did Bobo go? We've been waiting for him for ages, and now the kids are in second grade, and he still hasn't come back to fill the gaps in our knowledge! 🤫
