Lisco's American Life

Lisko was still a little ashamed when he saw these exaggerated slogans.

Lubo was still nagging on the phone, "The publisher is very dissatisfied with your unwillingness to publicize, but your first two books performed very well, and they didn't say anything this time. The release date is this Sunday, and Langdon has already

The promotional posters have been prepared and posted in major bookstores, and the agreed placement locations are also prime locations."

Lisko listened to Lu Bo's report, "By the way, there is something I can't evade. Random House has contacted the Literary Newspaper to interview you. This time it is a written interview. The target audience of this newspaper is literature lovers who can understand

Your sales have played a big role in promoting sales. You can't shirk it this time. The reporter will probably visit you tomorrow and take photos of you. Also, this interview will be recorded and Random House will contact the TV station to broadcast it.

.”

Lisko didn't have any objections, so he agreed.

After hanging up the nagging Lu Bo, Lisko was in the mood to deal with the sample book. A writer's sample book is still very meaningful. Generally, publishing houses send special hardcovers to writers. Lisko still remembers a party where the famous

The sample book of the fantasy masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings" was auctioned and snatched by everyone, and was finally sold to one million US dollars. For some collectors, these books that can be properly collected and circulated are good investments.

He took out a pen from the bookcase. This pen was also given to him by his mentor as a gift for the publication of his first book. Although many writers nowadays use computers to write, most literati give gifts to each other.

It's better to give things for writing, which is not so vulgar. Writers from all countries are the same.

Although it is just a fountain pen, it is still valuable. This is the same RMS05 that belonged to the Queen of England. It is said that only five were produced.

RMS05 is a precious fountain pen that the famous Swiss watch brand Richard Mille took four years to manufacture and is worth 700,000.

Lisko was a little shocked when he knew its price. He couldn't imagine that a pen actually cost 700,000 US dollars. There must be a reason why this pen is so expensive. First of all, its pen body and cap are made of them.

I researched the sandwich carbon fiber material myself, and then used this material layer by layer to "draw" various patterns. Moreover, there is a precise and fine watch movement inside.

When the button is pressed, the movement in the pen will run and slowly push out the nib. Of course, this nib is also very high-end because it is made of 18k platinum. It can be said to have a full sense of mechanics and high-end

feel.

When the pen cap is closed, the pen will automatically retract the nib, which can prevent the nib from breaking, which is very user-friendly. Moreover, its movement is also made of lightweight titanium alloy and uses 12 rubies.

After Lisko knew its value, he rarely put it out. Only documents that he valued very much would use it, and he would usually put it away in a box.

Lisko signed the sample books with a pen. The first one was one he collected. He wrote today's date on it, signed his name, and then put it in the bookcase.

This column in the bookcase is empty, with only two books in it, namely "Blood Road" and "Red Diamond". Now it has a new member, "The Catcher in the Rye".

Lisko looked at the bookcase, thinking that it would be full of books when he gets old, and when he looks at these books, they will be very picturesque.

The second book was signed with the name "To my beloved mentor."

He planned to give this book to his mentor, who always cared deeply for his youngest disciple.

The third book is written "for the charming Megan Fox". In the past few days, his feelings towards Megan have changed a lot. He used to think that he wanted to find a domestic woman to marry, but now he is a little shaken. Maybe the nationality

Not that important.

The fourth book was promised to Ben, "This is a book for literature lovers. May the words be with you always."

Ben is the owner of the restaurant. After getting along with him several times, Lisko confirmed that Ben was his die-hard reader. He clearly remembered all the plots and excerpts in his books. Lisko felt full of accomplishment when he saw him, and he also felt that he

His personality makes people feel comfortable in everything he does, and he is willing to slowly develop into a good friend.

The books at the back were signed one by one and packaged according to the addresses. They were given to different senior brothers.

Lisko’s mentors can be said to be highly respected in the American literary world, and they have great reputations all over the world. Among them are writers of different genres, editors-in-chief of newspapers, and many politicians in high positions.

After finishing the packing, he went to town to mail the packages separately. He didn't have time to deliver them one by one personally.

Back at the ranch, Lisko was a little bored and happened to see the guitar hanging on the wall. He remembered that he bought this guitar when he was in New York.

In his previous life, Lisko worked as an editor, and occasionally had a small hobby, which was playing guitar and singing. After time travel, he joined the music lovers club. His skills were stumbling from the beginning, but he also reached the point where he could play the guitar.

In the literary club, writers all have hobbies other than their own jobs. They can show off their interests at gatherings and perform in turn, so most people in the club have learned musical instruments.

Han Han, a young writer in his previous life, not only wrote lyrics, but also wrote an album himself. Yu Hua, who wrote the famous "Alive", also said that music influenced his writing.

As a writer, it is inevitable that sometimes you will get stuck and your ideas will fall apart. At this time, if you listen to a piece of music and play an instrument, you may have an enlightenment.

Lisko took out a cloth and wiped the dust off the guitar. The nameplate ZEMAITIS on it was shining brightly in the sun. This guitar is a famous brand among guitars and is known as "the most dazzling diamond in the crown of the guitar kingdom". This guitar

The body of the guitar is made of Honduran mahogany that has been naturally dried for 30 years. The metal plate pattern is designed by a master engraver. The guitar's edges are very delicate. It is wildly pursued and collected by countless professional musicians.

The price of this guitar has also reached 1 million US dollars. It was bought by Lisko at a charity auction. Since Lisko bought this guitar, he has been often contacted by some celebrities in the music industry to buy it, but of course he rejected them all.

Lisko adjusted the tune, took a good posture, stretched out his hand to play, and a leisurely and pleasant sound flowed out.

While he was playing, he patted the body of the guitar with his hand,

"The empty streets,

empty house,

empty heart,

I'm so lonely."

This song is a song released by the Irish group Westlife six years ago, and it is also a well-known song in the United States.

Lisko also often performed in clubs. His voice was surprisingly good, and a music company contacted him to release an album. He just regarded this as his hobby, so he rejected them. Of course, Lubo was very sorry.

After playing an English song, he cleared his throat and the music started again.

"Wandering,

on the road,

Do you want to leave?

via via via

Fragile and proud.”

This song "The Ordinary Road" was also a song Lisko particularly liked in his previous life. When he often felt helpless in life, he would play and shout it over and over again alone in the room.

"I once crossed mountains and seas, and also passed through mountains and seas of people. Everything I once owned was gone like smoke in the blink of an eye."

I often couldn't hold back my tears while playing, just like a sentence he often saw on videos in his previous life, "I'm sorry for being born human."

From the moment you are born, you have been carrying so many expectations. Your teacher expects you to get ahead, your parents expect you to live a worry-free life, your wife expects you to be rich, your boss expects you to work hard and not complain, and your children expect you to have a small family. We

Constantly catering to the opinions and expectations of the outside world, we slowly change our understanding of the beautiful world. When one day we follow our hearts and do what we want to do, we will be accused by everyone and called a shocking lunatic.
