The light novelist Ge Xishen said that the authors and the people who are interested in creating often have no “unstoppable impulses”, “nearly crazy emotions”, “a magnificent life experience” and “unique environment”. “Others cannot imitate.” Feeling inferior. But even without these things, there is always a way
Gexi uses the card game to make an analogy, saying: To build a deck with cards in his hand, and to see what cards are available, you can now get your hands and strengthen the deck

同人漫画家はるきゲにあSaid that he used to carry the manuscript to the editor of the weekly magazine JUMP At that time, the responsible editor once said to him very heavy words: “The editor’s business is not only to cultivate cartoonists, but to let the cartoonists give up, is also one of the work content. I am in the early 20s, have to harvest fast thirty The uncle’s dream, this is really unbearable. However, if they are not allowed to give up, their life will be in a dead end.”

The editor’s words sounded cruel and caused some people’s dislike. They cited some cartoonist latecomers and cartoonists who were rejected by the JUMP editorial department and played in other publishers, accusing the editor of being self-righteous, without eyesight, and destroying writers
And the former comic editor, the original comic author, the original wild Tudor, commented on another web page, mentioned that there are always some contributors who want to edit and make suggestions, but the editor really gives advice. He said “but my friend said…”.
Hidoshi said that laymen may also have their own eyesight. But in this case, why bother to ask the editor’s opinion, just listen to your friend’s words
Kitodino believes that these contributors do not want to edit to point out what they lack, what they are superfluous, but just want to hear others affirm themselves
In Kitodano’s view, “destroying the possibility” is not just denying young people’s relatives and friends because of ignorance. Those acquaintances who affirm their ignorance, although different from the former, are also destroying the possibility of these people
Hidoshino called these contributors “I hope others say ‘you have hidden talents’ syndrome.” But the work of the editor, on the contrary, includes a stinging side
Because, there are only 3,000 cartoonists in Japan, and there are more than 6,000 people estimated to be more. This number is similar to the number of freshmen enrolled at Tokyo University and Kyoto University this year. Like comics, comics are the world of talent
However, Kitano also said that his advice to contributors is not “not here, not here, go back to redraw.” The place where the contributor can’t do it is very conspicuous in the work, even if it is a layman, it is easy to point out. Finding the advantages of being covered by these conspicuous defects is the essence of editing
As for whether these advantages have reached the level of professional writers, that is another matter

The Tokyo Chuangyuan Society, which publishes reasoning, fantasy, and science fiction, is hiring editors. The publisher is responsible for the editing of overseas literature and overseas reasoning. S advertised for the company on Twitter and talked about his past:
S When I was looking for a job, I went to apply for a real estate company. The interviewer asked him “What is the sentence you like?” He replied: “The secret room kills!”
So I was rejected
Although S editor himself feels that this is a black history, in the final analysis, he is going to apply for a real estate company because he often sees the floor plan of the house in his mystery novels
S The editor also gave an example of the company culture of Tokyo Chuangyuan Society: Previously, the editorial department recruited part-time jobs. S editor said on Twitter: “If something happens, you will use the company’s rice cooker to cook red rice on that day!”
The next day, S editor was trained by the big leader:
“you can’t do this in tweet! You have to cook white rice when you add it!”
