First draft

After the first draft, I was so happy. It was quite exciting to translate the words into a travel bag worth rmb600.

Since the submission of the day, my heart has not dropped, every day looking forward to the selection of the essay activity results. I made all the preparations to accept it, of course, all the psychological construction is to prepare for the worst outcome, never thought about the mood after the draft.

Yesterday, received the draft message. At that time was having a meal, the excited mood is difficult to say, ruthlessly nibbled two pieces of steamed bread down the bowl chopsticks straight to the prize place to run. I had not finished my meal and was no longer hungry. I was out of breath as I trotted along. I do not know if other writers, the first draft is not as excited as I am.

After signing the words to get the prize, my hands shook up, in the face of colleagues and family are some incoherent, hanging on the face of excitement is difficult to hide, naked floating in the air, into the eyes of others.

Like writing for many years, these years of silent work in today is seen results. If there is no experience, I think today I also can not seize the opportunity of writing activities, more will miss with the draft, pass by.

I am grateful for my efforts over the years, for all the books I have read, and more importantly, for the writings shared by my predecessors.

Thank you to all the people I met along the way. Thank you! I’ll keep trying!
