Great Novelist

cameras and staff in the house, photographers and agents and editors. It looked as awkward as the outfit I was wearing at home, but I got used to it.

“You've brightened your face. ”

A full-scale interview began. An interview with a famous American magazine first explained why the interview is now available. This encounter was successful because of the coincidence of revealing his face.

“Everyone knows this. ”

Now a decent person knows the face of chance.

“I wonder when you'll be a regular student of the cosmos before you reveal your big face. how you reveal yourself to others around you. Someone must have known it first. ”

“There are several. ”

He started the interview on a lightweight but specific topic. I decided to take one situation and answer his question.

“A friend of mine likes to read a lot. I was already a writer, and he was a reader when I first met him. After we got to know each other, naturally, we had a lot of time to talk about books. ”

“Coincidence? ”

“Coincidence. ”

“Aren't you worried about getting caught? ”

“Not really.”

“What reassured you? ”

“I can write in a different way than usual. He didn't think of me as a coincidence at all when he saw my writing. ”

Interviewers also know about the context of coincidence. He signals you to continue the story quietly.

“I decided to send a message when I realized I was ready to tell the story. Because there were moments when stories appeared because the external factors were similar. Age, indispensability. ”

“At the end of the day, you were a little skeptical, weren't you? ”

“I think he felt something. I think I may have given you a clue at a time when I didn't know. I wanted to be clear. ”

“How did you send the message? ”

At that moment, I came up with a smile. The interviewer did not expect this exciting story to come from the first question. Unexpected things are always exciting.

“It was a book. I wrote a note in the review that only my friends and I would recognize. And he was a reader, and he got the message brilliantly. ”

He asked with a mind that he might know a book.

“What kind of book is the message in? ”

“You know better. The language of God. ”

“There?”

I asked again as if I was really surprised. The language of God was the most sold book of coincidence. There was a clue to the identity of the coincidence. Information that would faint had already emerged if the readers knew.

“When was that? ”

“It was when people still knew I was a writer forever. ”

“Then your friends must have known you were a writer forever? ”

“Yes. And I knew that eternity was a coincidence. ”

“Haha, my God. ”

The interviewer whispered as he wanted to interview his friends. Everyone did not conceal their surprise. I was enjoying relaxing with a bit of pride in Nam-Kyung and Butterfly, who had known about it beforehand. The interviewer asked the question out of the answer.

“What did it mean to write a book in the name of eternity in the first place? ”

“At that time, I had already become somewhat famous by coincidence. With chaos. People were doubting my skills and having fun. I think there was a slight insult to the idea that accidental books called coincidences were sold.

“Isn't there a need to hide yourself? The writer, coincidentally, was hiding his face, and that's a particularly powerful image. ”

“Rather, I wanted to show it off. So they come in all sorts of forms. If I had shown my face from the start, I think my first impression would have been the right one, and the other one would have been the wrong one. ”

“That makes sense. Do you think there are a lot of things you can reveal to yourself? ”

“Yes. I can't say they're special, but I don't think I only have one. There's a contradiction in people. It's evidence of a variety of things. ”

The interviewer dug into the details. I focused on understanding and answering his questions correctly. After the answer, he drank a sip of water. Not yet, the interviewer continued the interview.

“I can feel that there's a lot of vocabulary in this conversation, but you're as fluent in a variety of languages as you are in English with me. You have also participated directly in the translation. ”

“I translated the coin's work into Korean and once translated my work into English. ”

“It's not easy to speak multiple languages. Have you been studying? ”

He nodded coldly at the words "learning."

“Of course, if you want to know the language, you have to first. You have to learn how to listen, read and speak. I can just do it a little bit faster. ”

“Are you a natural? ”

“That's not it. ”

He made it clear that the interviewer looked a little skeptical.

“But you're too good to be true to others. ”

“Excellence doesn't mean everyone is born. If I had, I would have learned English by the time I was two, I would have learned about 12 languages by the time I was four, and I would have been called a myth in Korea by the time I was six. But it wasn't. ”

“When you were a kid, did you have no language skills at all? ”

“My mom says you're good at reading the letters backwards. ”

The story flowed to the other side because this was not an interview about language study.

“Did you know that Tailor translators value your translations very highly? ”

“Yes, he said something about me in an interview. ”

“You translated with Taylor? Your masterpiece.”

“That's how it happened. ”

“We know that the nature of the work that changed in the second half was a poor decision. In fact, there was a lot of controversy about sublimation. ”

The interviewer dug up questions about the work. The controversy continues to this day.

“I don't really understand the concept of changing your body, can you explain that? ”

He suddenly thought about how far his words would spread. Translated into various languages in famous American magazines Anyone who wants to know information about coincidences will find it and read it.

“I talk a lot about my style. I know.”

“I think we have to. ”

The opposing Pokémon is right. When he thought about where to start, the interviewer asked him.

“How many phrases do you speak? Can I just use what I want? like changing a car or a bicycle. ”

I lost it without even knowing it.

“Then how good would it have been? ”

I realized how ignorant they were about themselves. The user chooses a horse in hopes that it will be well delivered to the target.

“I want you to know that changing your style is not easy. It's a very experimental piece. It can break the flow and turn into a vivid story. In fact, I felt very wrong when I used sublimation. ”

“But can you make a difference? ”

“Otherwise, the work of sublimation would have been published in a different form. ”

“How does it feel to be able to speak a different language? ”

It was not difficult to answer.

“I feel like I'm living with an old man in me. ”

“· · · · · · It's a hard metaphor to understand. Do you have any personality problems? ”

I know the story of the dual personality theory. I was looking at his face because I thought he was joking, but the interviewer seemed serious.

“I don't have that feeling. It's a very difficult thing to balance between the two, but it's not hard enough to divide your personality. ”

“When was the first time you spoke a different language? ”

“Did you know that I did a portrait in high school? ”

“Yes, I know they published two fragments there. ”

“Yes, there was an exhibition. I told you before, but I didn't know I was a coincidence around here. I wish I was. Do you know how I made that happen? ”

The interviewer's torso tilted forward slightly.

“Did you write something else? ”

That's right.

“Yes. Write, but don't let it be a coincidence. I tried, and it worked. I could get a pretty different vibe. ”

A small admiration flowed from around me. He recalled his feelings at that time. His body was submerged, and his memories of the past remained intact. It could also be expressed in the glow.

“If you look at Korean interviews, there are similar answers. I mentioned it briefly at the time, and I think this answer might be an explanation for it. ”

The Q&A on the body was long. The interviewer moved on without getting wet with the feeling of discovering new and surprising information. He clears his throat.

“I think one of your traits is change. There are changes in individual works, there are changes in the atmosphere from the debut to the next, and there are changes in the body of the work. What else do you think will change? ”

“Anything could change. because nobody knows the situation, the position, the future. ”

“You've been writing without a hitch, haven't you? ”

“It's relatively true. ”

“You're going really fast. Are you using a pattern? Set the daily dose. ”

“There's no such thing. Sometimes you want to write for more than eight hours a day. ”

“You're pouring it out. ”

He answered silently, the interviewer said:

“Are you not afraid that things will change? ”

I rolled my eyes at him. The interviewer was confident.

“Fear.”

“Yes. There may come a time when you won't be able to write like this. Don't you have any concerns about that future? ”

He glanced behind the interviewer. Again, Nam-Kyung and Butterfly did not look very good. He grabbed the bottled water bottle that had been placed underneath the chair. No one opened their mouth while drinking water.

“Do I look like a successful man? ”

The interviewer's eyes slightly shaken.

“You have succeeded at a young age. Isn't this an objective fact? ”

"On schedule, I suppose. They won awards. They sell books well. ”

“Don't you think you've succeeded? ”

“Let's move on from this. I mean, aren't you afraid of success at a young age? I mean, aren't you scared that one day it's going to go away? Fear of depletion. ”

The interviewer thought about the slightly exaggerated words, then nodded. He replied.

“I do.”

There is. There is plenty. Fear of success or failure. I'm afraid it's all gone.

“How do you feel about that? ”

“Fear doesn't set the time. ”

“Do you do something to get over it? ”

“I write. ”

I was getting more and more driven.

“Can you overcome it by writing? ”

“It's a strange thing to say about overcoming. Fear or fear is a natural emotion. I don't put up with emotions. ”

“So what brings you to writing? ”

“Brings skill. ”

He said without hesitation.

“I have a fear that my luck may disappear overnight. Success and failure. The result is inevitably lucky. But.”

You turn your head and look around. Wherever the snow reaches, there is always that. He smiled and said.

“Who would steal this many manuscripts? ”
