我靠靈感寫作嗎？ Do I write by inspiration?

After writing more than a hundred novels, the most frequently asked question is: "Where did your inspiration for writing come from?"

I usually answer coolly, "I'm not writing by inspiration."

If I only rely on inspiration to write, I should not be able to write more than a hundred novels, but do I not need inspiration at all? Of course not.

The so-called inspiration is a flash of aura. It may be a dialogue between the hero and the protagonist during the crazy show, or a picture in the play, or it may just be a few lines or words in a book, because Very FEEL, I want to write that FEEL as a love story.

A FEEL can produce love novels with 60,000 to 70,000 characters or more. So, can this be considered to create a novel by inspiration? Actually speaking, it doesn't seem to be.

Seriously, it is for this inspiration (FEEL), and tailor-made to write a story belonging to this FEEL, in order to make this story enough to represent this FEEL, so I want to think about the bridge, the plot, the role, and the purpose is to Build this FEEL.

This is the case for novels and short stories.

The latter shows that the design of this FEEL should be more intense and direct. Because it is a short story, it can be completely inspired by inspiration. It only expresses this subjective intuition.

Yes, readers may not feel it throughout.

But it doesn't matter.

Because the FEEL is the inspiration and motivation of the author, not the "reason" why the reader wants to read the book.

寫了一百多本小說，最常被問的就是:「妳的寫作靈感究竟是從哪裡來的？」

我通常會很酷的回答：「我不是靠靈感寫作。」

如果只靠靈感寫作，我應該沒辦法寫出一百多本小說，但我完全不需要靈感嗎？當然不是這樣。

所謂靈感，都是靈光一現靈光一閃的，可能是狂磕戲時男女主角的一句對白，或是戲裡頭的一個畫面，也有可能只是在某本書上看見了幾行字或幾個字，因為非常有ＦＵ，便想把那個ＦＵ寫成一個愛情故事。

一個ＦＵ，可以生出六七萬字或是十幾萬字以上的愛情小說，所以，這算是靠靈感創作一本小說嗎？其實說是，好像也不是。

認真點來說，是為了這個靈感（ＦＵ），而量身訂做的寫出一本屬於這個ＦＵ的故事，為了讓這個故事足以呈現這個ＦＵ，所以想橋段想情節想角色設定，就是為了打造這個ＦＵ。

長篇小說如此，短篇小說也是如此，後者呈現這種ＦＵ的設計感應該更濃烈而直接，因為是短篇，可以完全應靈感而生，只表達這個主觀直覺，長篇小說的ＦＵ完全是作者本人想寫的，讀者不一定能通篇感受出來。

但這無關緊要。

因為那個ＦＵ是作者創作的靈感，動筆的動機，而不是讀者之所以想看這本書的「原因」。
