Chapter 25
"Divareo, is this name in English?" the editor Yuan Ming asked on the other end of the phone.

"Let's get close to the names in South America."

"Where's Jonah?"

"Is there a problem?" Liu Yun asked.

"It's better to use local names, like Lu Mingfei, Wang Daming, and Shi Qiang. For female characters, call them Lin Zi and Zhizi. Names like Liara are a bit persuasive."

Liu Yun pretended to answer easily, "Understood, change the name to Chinese. Is there anything else? Is the plot OK?"

If I had known that I would be taught a nonsensical lesson, I might as well not ask this question.The editor said a lot like a firecracker, "After all, it's not like a physical book, it's a web article, what readers want is cool, and the most important thing is to read it, you write about the conflict between two alien civilizations, it's better to write about alien civilizations. In the conflict with the earth civilization, the sense of substitution will be stronger, especially in the first few chapters, the sense of substitution is very important, which determines half of the results of this book.

Of course, there is absolutely no problem with writing. After all, he was once a winner of an essay contest and published many best-selling novels.Just keep up with the rhythm of the online text in terms of thinking and writing habits. "

Liu Yun is not angry, but a little helpless. He is almost used to it. After all, he is also a best-selling author. He has written online articles for several years, and his grades are not bad. God is just around the corner.

In the future, I will seldom communicate with editors about plots and characters. Of course, editors understand the tastes of readers, but they are not all, and sometimes they have to listen to themselves.

After the phone call, he was in a low mood. He is a fast-thinking author. It only takes four or five hours for a daily change of [-] to [-] words. It seems that there are brains in ten fingers. Ten engines are started at the same time, and it is easy to enter the story.

Change the name first, then read the first ten chapters through.

If there is an alien civilization on one side and an earth civilization on the other, then let the alien civilization have a technological power hundreds of times that of the earth's technology, and it can destroy human beings in a few minutes.

With this modification, the story is tense from the very beginning and goes into countdown mode.

The advantages are clear at a glance, and the emotions are easy to handle, nervous, fearful, overwhelmed, and resigned.Nothing more than these emotions that can attract readers to continue reading.

Make up your mind and get started.Fingers tapped on the keyboard, T204 civilization, 0.7 light-years away from the earth, rocky planet, Captain Divareo, now changed to Sean, Chinese name, and a bit of a Western name.

The spacecraft carries 109 automatic life machines, and the number of human embryos in the refrigerated warehouse is 200 million...

Will the T204 civilization thrive on the new planet?

Wait, where have you seen this storyline?
Liu Yun is a fan of science fiction. When he was a child, when "Science Fiction World" was published, he would immediately rush to the newsstand to buy magazines, and read every article when he bought it.

At that time, Liu Yun dreamed that one day he would be able to write good science fiction novels.

There are too many novels about contact between two civilizations. Ted Jiang's "Story of Your Life" is about alien civilizations coming to Earth.

It's really inexplicable how I remembered this book. All the books about alien civilizations coming to earth don't need to be considered, because I'm writing a story that is about to happen on a planet 0.7 light-years away.

A Space Odyssey?No, Arthur Clarke's book is too classic to be similar to it, and that would be digging one's 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 T204 civilization has not appeared in any novels.

Thinking of this, Liu Yun's head began to hurt, and both temples were swollen and sore.

His hands were also a little unruly.

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

Could it be the kind of hand tremor that Asimov changed into in his later years?
In his later years, Asimov could not complete the typing work at all, and his hands were completely unable to type accurate words on the typewriter, and finally he had to stop writing.

Did he suffer from tremors at a young age?
Liu Yun didn't want to believe it, but his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't help but believe it.

Hand tremors?Is there such a problem?Seems to be there, seen it somewhere.

Can't remember...

I've been having trouble with memory lately.It’s all because the last book hit the street. Although there is no book that sells particularly well since his debut, he is still a well-known author. However, the editor of the last book said that the sales were not expected. Now is the era of easy reading. , no one wants to see something too esoteric.

Esoteric?Liu Yun doesn't think so.

He guessed that the writing may need to be more refined, and the subject matter is really not esoteric.

Is it easy to write about the harem, time travel, and take out 200 million in your pocket at every turn?
Is there such a thing as hand tremor?With this question lingering in his mind, Liu Yun reluctantly wrote another thousand words.Finally defeated.

Enough, do a search to see if there is such a disease.

Sure enough.Clinical tremors are divided into: resting tremor, exercise tremor, postural tremor, rebound tremor and shaking tremor.Although tremor is manifested as hand shaking, the root cause of tremor is mostly in the brain, which is caused by a certain disease that damages the areas of the brain involved in motor coordination.

What?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.

In terms of time, place, age and predisposing factors, hand tremor attacks in the elderly are likely to be caused by senile hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and sudden mental stimulation.

Generally speaking, the symptoms of hand tremor also appear more in the elderly.A neurologist, endocrinologist, and metabolic physician should be promptly examined for proper examination to clarify the cause and treat it correctly.

Parkinson's disease?Cerebral arteriosclerosis?

It should be impossible for Liu Yun to have cerebral arteriosclerosis at this age, so Parkinson's is left?Parkinson's can't be cured.

How can a writer write without being able to type?How does a writer who can't type because of Parkinson's do it?

Just thinking about these troublesome things, the editor Yuan Ming sent another message that 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 the writer to promote himself, and the news of the distant name is lukewarm. Indeed, this is a benefit that the editor contacts, and there is no need to ask the writer to participate.

If Liu Yun didn't want to go, there were a lot of authors under Yuan Ming who were willing to participate, not to mention that the publishing house wasn't just an editor in Yuan Ming.

Liu Yun immediately agreed, and he couldn't miss this kind of event next week even if he couldn't write the manuscript in time.
