Sky Smile, this elegant name is like her person, with a bright and broad mind like the sky, and an optimistic and self-improvement style of doing things with a smile.
On weekdays, I am used to calling her Smile. Smile and I met on QQ space a few years ago. At that time, I just learned to surf the Internet. In my spare time, I like to browse some ancient poetry spaces, and sometimes imitate them. Write one or two pieces and post them in your own space for your own entertainment and self-appreciation. At that time, I was particularly fond of acrostic poems. I often wrote poems with an idiom as the title. I thought that I would not have to come up with my own ideas. I would start with the idiom and write it out. Because I didn’t understand rhythm and rhythm at that time, I wrote a few random sentences and thought it was a poem, which made me feel relaxed. As everyone knows, acrostic poetry is a type of metrical poetry that is more difficult to write. If it is posted in space, not many people will follow it and support it. Because there is no straight and oblique rhythm, those who have poetry background are simply ignored. But I noticed that every time I posted a post, a netizen named Sky Smile immediately sang and commented. Her avatar is that of a young and beautiful woman wearing a pair of glasses who looks particularly pure and gentle. Maybe this is fate. I often return to her space to comment and post. Gradually, we have a small window of dialogue and get to know each other better. She said she also liked ancient poetry, especially my acrostic poems. But neither of us understands the rhythm and rhythm of ancient poetry at all, so the so-called poetry we post is often ridiculed by some masters, and Xiaoxiao is very unconvinced by this. I remember one time, a "great master" who was quite famous in the circle of ancient poetry at that time ridiculed Xiao Xiao's poems for being "unlike". Xiao Xiao and I were very angry. We found this person's space and left him a message saying: You As someone who has some influence on ancient poetry in QQ space, to put it nicely, you are a teacher. If you don’t want to be a teacher, even as a general poetry friend, you can point out and criticize the wrong parts of our poetry without being so sarcastic. , which is detrimental to your personality. The man was left speechless and never appeared in the circle again. At that time, no one really helped guide those of us who were shortlisted for the first time. He smiled and said that we had to learn and understand the rhythm of ancient poetry on our own. So we searched for methods of writing ancient poems on Baidu, and in this way we gradually mastered the basic knowledge of ancient poems. At this time, I also realized that Xiao Xiao is a woman who is unwilling to admit defeat, has self-improvement, and is constantly making progress. .
In the summer of 2011, Smile said to me: We always post randomly in QQ space like this. We don’t know whether our writing is good or not, whether we are wrong, and no one will point out or comment on it. Nowadays, there are many websites where poems can be published. Why don’t we also post our poems there? There may be questions about teachers’ evaluation of poems there, so that we can improve. I think this is a good proposal. Not only can we find a place to evaluate our poetry, but it can also allow our works to be displayed in places other than QQ space. It can broaden our horizons and make contact with more and better poetry friends. So, we searched for websites that can publish ancient poems one by one, and visited more than ten websites including Chinese Poetry Forum, China, Chinese Poetry Society, Chinese Poetry Forum Essence, Chinese Elegance Ode, Chinese Ancient Poetry, Poetry I Love, Complete Collection of Ancient Poems, etc. , finally we locked the country. We think Jiangshan is first of all impressive in its layout, with very clear classifications. It not only has specialized ancient poems, but also new poems, novels and prose, as well as essays, work appreciation, etc. The complete categories can broaden our horizons. What's more important is that he has a process for recommending works to societies and high-quality works. Good works will be given high-quality works, and the best ones will be rated as excellent. If the works are not recommended by the society, it means that your article is really poor. This is the best site we are looking for, so that we can know the level of poetry we write. So we registered Jiangshan in August 2011 and became members of Jiangshan Literature.
We tried to submit the article to the Jiangshan Poetry and Ancient Rhythm system column, and later submitted it to societies such as Jiangnan Misty Rain, Passing Years, and Autumn Moon Chrysanthemum. Fortunately, it can be submitted no matter whether it is submitted to the system column or the society column. After receiving serious evaluation from editors, you can know some errors and deficiencies in your poems from the editor's notes, and then you can find out your own gaps by reading those articles that have won high quality. Since entering Jiangshan, our poetry writing level has been greatly improved. Sometimes our poems can be rated as high-quality products. Quality products are an honor and an evaluation and recognition of our poetry level. We are all very happy. , smiled and said: We are on the right path.
One afternoon, Xiaoxiao suddenly said to me: Zhong Sheng, the vice president of Qiuyue Juyun Club, invited her to be an editor, and she asked me to go with her. To be honest, I had never thought about being an editor, so I told her: President Zhongsheng invited you, not me. Besides, I’ve never edited before, so I’m not sure I can do it well. He smiled and said: You have to do something before you know it. If you don’t do it, how will you know whether you can do it or not? I will go to President Zhongsheng and tell him, and he will definitely agree. She added: If you don’t go, I won’t go either. In order not to dampen her enthusiasm for literature and support her work, I had no choice but to agree. Who said we have been confidants and buddies for many years? It can be said that I started working as an editor because of my smile. When I started working as an editor, I didn’t know anything. I could only fumble to see how others wrote editorial notes and how to format articles.
It is necessary to read a poem many times to understand the content and artistic conception of the poem, and to check whether the rhythm and rhythm of each poem is correct. Therefore, editing an article takes a lot of time, sometimes even until one o'clock in the morning. many. To be honest, being an online editor is a thankless job. Not only does it not pay you a penny, but it also takes up a lot of your writing and rest time. The most unpleasant thing is that sometimes you have to be complained and complained by the author. I am dissatisfied with the fact that his article was not published in a timely manner, or that the editor's notes were poorly written. Several times I suggested quitting, but I smiled and said: We are editors because we are interested in literature, and we do not rely on it to make a living. This can improve our appreciation level and is also our fun.
After working as an editor at Qiuyue Juyun for a period of time, President Ye Yu couldn’t manage the club’s work because of her busy work schedule. She saw that Xiao Xiao was very active and serious in her work, so she invited her to be the club’s editor. Executive President. Smile took care of Juyun's general affairs in an orderly manner and shouldered a lot of burdens for Ye She. Due to his outstanding work performance, he invited Xiaoxiao to be the acting president to help manage the overall affairs of the society.
Since taking on the role of acting president, Smile has become even more diligent and dedicated to her work. She made some changes to the original club's arrangements, tried every means to mobilize the enthusiasm of the editors, and tried her best to avoid a backlog of manuscripts on the day. At the same time, she also invited authors to submit contributions, which made the originally deserted club energetic and active again. It once made the club improve several positions from the back to the front in the country's rankings. However, the communication between the old and new editors was never very coordinated. It did not last long, and the enthusiasm of editors tended to be sluggish. In particular, some modern poems, essays and novels were often backlogged for several days without anyone editing, and the authors often came to ask questions. Whining expresses dissatisfaction. As the acting president, Xiao Xiao was very anxious, and the old editor of the society never paid attention to the society's articles. We are good at ancient poetry and have never edited prose, novels or modern poetry. He smiled and said to me: There is really no other way but for us to try to edit, we can’t reject all of them. It was really a rush to put it on the shelves, and we started to get involved in all-round editing. There is a big difference between modern poetry and ancient poetry, especially those hazy poems. You can't just understand them literally. You have to read them repeatedly and try to understand the connotation and meaning of the author's poems to satisfy the author. I also have to read an essay or novel several times, correct typos and wrong punctuation marks, and format the article. I often read it until late at night, and I have to put it down until my eyes can no longer stand it. Xiaoxiao often tells me that she is exhausted. I know her. She has to take care of her own business and manage a club. Whenever she has some spare time, she spends it on this acting president. Her tiredness is not imaginary. Yes, I advised her many times to let go and not to tire her body out, but she always said: If you promise, do it well.
It is said that environment creates talents, and this is absolutely true. Although being an editor is very tiring and requires all-round editing, it also forces us to read a lot of essays and novels and allows us to understand some writing methods of essays and novels. We will go back and re-read those articles that have won the prize, learn from their writing experience, and at the same time come up with the idea of ??writing our own prose novels. Smile's first essay "Love Storm" was written during this period. The article describes a pair of young lovers who had conflicts and quarrels due to some misunderstandings, and later resolved and became more loving. The article was well-conceived, with clear chapters and fluent writing. After it was published, it became a top-notch article, which greatly inspired Xiao Xiao's creative enthusiasm. Xiaoxiao is really talented at writing prose novels. I think she is better than Gu Yun in this aspect. She has a dexterous conception, is good at grasping the key points of the article, and lays it out in an orderly manner. She also pays great attention to the use of words, and her writing is graceful and concise. She later published novels such as "The Pain of Misunderstanding", "Sadism", "Love Without Looking Back", "The Leftover Girl", "Concentric Lock" and essays such as "Mother, I Love You" and "Walking with You". All of them have won top prizes, with a top quality rate of over 90%, which fully proves her potential talent.
Due to the lack of good communication between the old and new editors of Juyun, the editors were not motivated, and the backlog of previous manuscripts also made the author lose confidence, so that there were fewer and fewer submissions. Although Smile A lot of work was done to no avail, and Smiling felt helpless about it.
On the afternoon of February 13, 2014, he smiled and said to me: It is not an option for us to stay in Juyun like this. We have not communicated well with those old editors, and they may not trust us. I am an agency. No one listens to me even if I talk for a long time. I feel anxious when I see how lifeless the society is. It is true that nothing good can be accomplished if people do not work together. She said: Why don't we start a club ourselves? Let's find a few close friends who share the same hobbies and interests. That way we can talk more easily and have people listen. I said yes, as long as we can apply for it and find the right people, we can do it ourselves. She said: I will arrange these, you don't have to worry, I only need your consent and support. Only with your support can I have confidence and peace of mind. I said: I will definitely support you, no matter what you do, I will support you. Xiaoxiao is really a woman who works vigorously and resolutely. She completed the registration application and other matters for the society in two or three days. The editors also found several editors. On February 16, the Chufeng Xiangyun Society was officially established.
In order to standardize the management of the society from the beginning, we have compiled a list of editing work points and requirements, and require editors to edit manuscripts in accordance with these regulations. In order to allow authors to smoothly enter the society and submit their manuscripts, Xiaoxiao took the time to make a very detailed schematic diagram for new authors, instructing authors on how to register in Jiangshan and how to enter the Chufeng Xiangyun Society to submit papers. At the same time, Smile has also established a Chu Feng Xiang Yun author group and a Chu Feng Xiang Yun management group. The author group mainly facilitates communication among authors and attracts more new authors. The management group communicates with each other and holds editorial work meetings from time to time to summarize the achievements and experience over a period of time to facilitate better work. Smile often reminds editors in the management group to edit and review manuscripts carefully, and check the layout, content, typos, and punctuation carefully.
God will not make everything smooth sailing, and the same is true for the Chu Feng Xiang Yun Society. When the association was first established, its focus was on ancient rhymes, and most of the editors and authors wrote ancient rhymes. At that time, the length and number of fine works of ancient rhymes in our association occupied a certain seat in the ancient rhymes of Jiangshan poetry. Later, some problems arose in the evaluation of fine ancient rhymes, which led to the cessation of the evaluation of fine ancient rhymes in poetry. This has also dampened the enthusiasm of some authors to submit manuscripts, and the society has fewer and fewer manuscripts. what to do? The managers and editors of the Smile Organization held a discussion meeting and decisively decided that the society must turn around and broaden the channels of prose, novels and poetry, and mobilize everyone to find friends in this field to join our society.
Hard work pays off. Through smiles and everyone’s efforts, the Xiangyun Society has gradually produced more essays, novels and modern poems. But the problem arises again. It turns out that the editors of Gu Yun do not know how to edit prose novels. In addition to doing the work themselves, Xiaoxiao encourages everyone to learn to edit novels and prose and guides everyone how to edit. At the beginning, some editors would not search for articles on Baidu in order to know whether the articles were original, which resulted in repeated submissions and plagiarized articles being published in the community, which attracted the attention of Jiangshan leaders. Leaders such as President Gu and Vice President Lin were very concerned about Chu Feng. For the development of Xiangyun, find a smile to understand the situation. Xiaoxiao was very anxious and immediately held an editorial management meeting to teach everyone how to search for articles on Baidu. He also repeatedly emphasized that articles must be searched, especially in essays, poems, and novels where plagiarism is common, and attention should be paid to it. If any plagiarism, plagiarism, or repeated publication in Jiangshan is found, the article will be rejected. Articles with unhealthy, vulgar content, or politically-related articles that violate Jiangshan regulations are also required to be rejected.
The ideological work and unity among editors is also a very troublesome thing. At the beginning, the editors were not very familiar with each other and did not know each person's character and personality very well. Therefore, they often said something because of one sentence. If something goes wrong, they will make a fuss in the group and even insult each other. Once, two editors were insulting each other to the point of hostility of "you without me, me without you". Smile patiently worked for them and said: We all came together because of our love for literature. This is also Fate, since we are all destined to be together, we must cherish this fate. We cannot give up the rare fate just because of a trivial matter. We can make concessions in language and it will be over. A smile can easily resolve the conflict between the two. Smile is how she unites everyone around her with her gentle personality and generous mind. Now Chu Feng Xiangyun is united and full of energy.
In order to run the club well and invigorate it, attract more outstanding editors to join, and attract more outstanding authors to contribute to the club, Smile decided to use its own funds to launch a prize-winning essay competition. After some preparations, the association launched the "Trueest Love" essay collection activity, which lasted from July 1st to September 30th, spanning Chinese Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, and the National Day. At the same time, Xiaoxiao was running around, looking for people to contact magazines and newspapers, and recommending the club's excellent works to print media to enhance the influence of the club, expand the development space of the club, and at the same time open up a new way for the author's articles. Increase the author's popularity and stimulate the author's creative passion. These two measures are very effective. Since their implementation, they have attracted many outstanding authors to join and contribute. In just over two months, the number of articles and high-quality articles published by the society has increased linearly. Smile's meticulousness also lies in her focus on the overall development of the club and her active participation in various activities of Jiangshan Literature. She arranged for a designated person to be in charge of the community forum, and participated in Jiangshan’s forum posts to gain points for the community.
Under the leadership and planning of Smile, Chufeng Xiangyun Club has jumped from a little-known small club to the top 16 of more than 50 clubs in the country within half a year since its establishment. Article The total number of articles reached 1,079, including 253 high-quality articles and 2 excellent articles, which greatly exceeded the goal set at the beginning of the group's establishment to reach 1,000 total articles and 100 high-quality articles by the end of the year. These achievements are obvious and have been recognized and appreciated by Jiangshan Literature Chairman Zhao Xinghua and webmaster Gu Du. On August 28, on the occasion of Jiangshan's 6th anniversary celebration, Jiangnan Special Edition launched the top ten classic characters that "touched Jiangshan" at the sixth anniversary celebration. Sky Smile was rated as one of the top ten classic characters. Although it was not a systematic review, this is also She received the honor, and I am proud of her at the same time. Tianxiao is young and promising, conscientious and practical, and has the ability to lead a community.
In terms of writing, her writing style is sophisticated, and her poetry, prose, and novels are fully developed. She can be called a beautiful and talented woman. I believe that under the leadership of Sky Smile, Chu Feng Xiangyun Literary Society will become more and more prosperous and more and more popular. It is beautiful and will also add more brilliance to the country.
