接到出版社新指令當刻,我意識到寫作生涯正要面臨終極考驗。在我面前僅餘兩個選擇:屈從或離開。262Please respect copyright.PENANAmsF3d8yih4
262Please respect copyright.PENANAZg6MDJn1Ym
我笑,笑自己,笑自己毫不猶豫作出選擇——屈從。262Please respect copyright.PENANAOxhw5FfSkF

「好的。我會試從這方向去構思。」262Please respect copyright.PENANA9Yqp8C3UFy
262Please respect copyright.PENANAHvoWghPYGw
「不是試,而是必須依循這方向實踐!」262Please respect copyright.PENANA1PqaDhJ5U4
262Please respect copyright.PENANAd3g2DWKVZa
「好的。」262Please respect copyright.PENANAd5bHAQz468

多聊幾句不著邊際的,編輯突然說要忙其他工作,我也識趣乖乖走出辦公室。262Please respect copyright.PENANAR6owUxiZZN
262Please respect copyright.PENANAOcUXFJp5fQ
在咖啡廳一隅找個僻靜位置,點一客蛋糕,要一杯咖啡,細閱悉才會面時寫下的筆記。262Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ0b991GX2
262Please respect copyright.PENANAEUsdosUsoU
嗯……該怎樣形容此刻感受?被否定?被看貶?被強逼?被侮辱?以上皆是。但我沒料到上述所有感覺綜合起來得出的結果並非「憤怒」,而是「無力」。262Please respect copyright.PENANA2KeNNAbVXK
262Please respect copyright.PENANAeXYaxLrIYQ
潮流,風潮的流動。流的,動的,變幻的。追上潮流就會成為大眾模楷,追不上潮流就會被淘汰。我明白這是自然不過的淘汰過程,所以無法生起憤怒。若說真要怪罪任何人,也只得怪責自己——我還未開明得敞開心胸拋下固有思維去順應潮流——可笑我沒有絲毫怪罪之意。262Please respect copyright.PENANAy4VDzmc5mW
262Please respect copyright.PENANAiOKIk5aX7E
對於今日困局,我早有心理準備。262Please respect copyright.PENANAkr2YcuIYPn
262Please respect copyright.PENANAnrxUuP6R7P
不過在發生當刻,無可避免覺痛。大半輩子的努力付出和個人信念被一下子全盤否定!一直以來支撐我孤身走來的精神支柱被一下子推垮!我還可以相信甚麼?我還可以依靠甚麼?262Please respect copyright.PENANAB7ci1oijjn
262Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ4TnZ7VpM
內心波濤洶湧,表面淡然幽雅。262Please respect copyright.PENANAJU9Ek0w9YB
262Please respect copyright.PENANAlyXBzdDI8a
既然過去和將來沒有必然因果關係,那就好好享受當刻這口蛋糕、這口咖啡。262Please respect copyright.PENANAv5pWG1daDk
家,書房。262Please respect copyright.PENANAw5cLoWSgVv
262Please respect copyright.PENANA91Kp44g4Hc
開始鑽研編輯提供的清單上所有作品,看看時下作品有何熱門題材和成功因素。262Please respect copyright.PENANATrSgehIXfE
262Please respect copyright.PENANABO4QGsAiP0
修仙、穿越、同人、BL、絕境求生、困獸鬥、對抗強權、自殺、權鬥、道德批判……題材五花八門,卻也萬變不離其中。基本元素仍是沿用多年以來最受歡迎的愛情、成長、友情、英雄主義、個人主義、諷刺現實,變的只是包裝手法(題材)或呈現方式(劇情必須極端、人物情緒起伏必須激烈)。262Please respect copyright.PENANA690x7ffv9p
262Please respect copyright.PENANAO6Gg1tUtaD
這下子,我似乎明白了「甚麼」,心深處卻又抗拒這些「甚麼」。262Please respect copyright.PENANALkTWF8gWd2
262Please respect copyright.PENANAHglUQ1IR7w
我放下資料,離開書枱,走到窗邊,倚窗抽菸。262Please respect copyright.PENANAm2crwWXsey
262Please respect copyright.PENANAS9sNoCcnns
嗯。獨居果然是個正確決定。爸媽受不了菸味,與他們同居只會悶死我。他們常唬嚇我說抽菸習慣會嚇走好男人。我對此一笑置之,沒有反駁——兩老將近七十歲,我沒可能單憑三言兩語改變他們活用幾十年的觀念。262Please respect copyright.PENANAbub3PU2bNf
262Please respect copyright.PENANAIPmOjGB5Cw
情況有如編輯的幾句說話沒可能扭轉我沿用多年的人生觀、世界觀、寫作觀。若說我不思進取、固執、老土落伍,我會承認,然後反問對方認為我該根據幾多人幾多意見去改變我的思維、活出我的人生才算得上積極進取、從善如流、新潮前衛。262Please respect copyright.PENANAdW02mD0HY5
262Please respect copyright.PENANAGtTiwww0Ld
相信對方會熱諷一句:「難怪你的作品賣不了!」262Please respect copyright.PENANAXWWYahxRf1
262Please respect copyright.PENANAXWU1Y0KdHr
情況正如兩老常於親友飯聚場合當眾冷嘲:「難怪你嫁不了!」262Please respect copyright.PENANA3kBwalPgNE
262Please respect copyright.PENANALbb4oDZ8w3
唉!感覺真糟糕,卻沒奈何。262Please respect copyright.PENANAT5GMUHcP8z
262Please respect copyright.PENANACVLVZhii4e
只得再來一根菸。262Please respect copyright.PENANAIk6ctYzuZl
動筆。262Please respect copyright.PENANAtZIewCnbsG

主角沒頭沒腦掉入不知哪來的時空裂縫,進入神仙世界,與位列末席的異性神仙共同修煉,推翻殘暴不仁的天界首領。然後與己方戰友鬧翻,開始明爭暗鬥,爭權奪利,結果禍及人間,令長站道德高地的主角黯然退下,在人間結識天真無邪的凡女,情愫漸生。誰料昔日天界紅顏湊巧下凡,得知凡女與主角關係,醋意頓生,視凡女為情敵,施以毒手。主角同性摯友為免主角煩心,暗中保護凡女,卻不自已對主角生起愛意,向主角表白……寫得順暢,寫得精彩。262Please respect copyright.PENANAVe4Q6SEVmd
262Please respect copyright.PENANAmOsUxoiL17
完成作品後,我馬上發送電郵予編輯,內容簡潔直白:「我寫不了。請另找高明。」262Please respect copyright.PENANA0wBhK3Bf9u
262Please respect copyright.PENANADfvlPBmNbP
刪稿,關電腦,將手提電話調至靜音。世界與我無關。262Please respect copyright.PENANAgPBOoBVm08
262Please respect copyright.PENANAvDCY7HZexN
我卷縮被窩,無法入眠。262Please respect copyright.PENANAmoa7bHC5s0
262Please respect copyright.PENANAmFm4yBLB8I
我在這世界存活幾十年,如今首次意識到自己與世界之間的矛盾何其激烈,而我自己對此又是何等無能無力無奈。262Please respect copyright.PENANAdvckfWx4nd
262Please respect copyright.PENANAPMuBeuf5GQ
那種震撼令我忘記各種宣洩方法:哭、睡、逃避、傾訴、吃喝玩樂……262Please respect copyright.PENANATrKWtWsxdu
262Please respect copyright.PENANAzcuFh9CS5I
整個腦袋幾近空白一片。262Please respect copyright.PENANAn3n1uthBII
262Please respect copyright.PENANAZSZkrOZVbn
各種情緒猶如乾沙,沒能被搓捏成任何形狀。若強行抓起沙子,沙子自然而然從指隙流走,掉落地面,散開、飛逸、無影蹤。262Please respect copyright.PENANA1Yg3bTFKM7
262Please respect copyright.PENANAXlbGqAaJJI
沒法子。262Please respect copyright.PENANAZY4NnfyLMu
262Please respect copyright.PENANAd9TeqaAI59
只得待時間為我整理混亂情緒。262Please respect copyright.PENANAaugzddynzQ
262Please respect copyright.PENANAgy0N641bk7
正如只得待潮流將不思進取、固執、老土落伍的我淘汰。262Please respect copyright.PENANAlV70EBam22
