Rimbaud's girl

She thought about him. This is a typical youth dilemma. They don't know what they want to do, what they can do, and they are confused about their future.Art and painting are deep in the blood of his family. No matter what happens to him, there is a high probability that he will still take the road of painting.Just as a person who becomes a writer has the desire to "write", a person who becomes a painter also has the desire to "paint". This is a desire to "express", but it takes a different form of expression.

He wrote to her all the time in French, occasionally using a few Dutch words.Grammar and spelling are good with few typos.The writing is concise and smooth, with sincere feelings.

She doesn't like to complicate simple life, George Sand is very good, but her life is too colorful, it is difficult for ordinary people to deal with so many lovers, and there is no shortage of geniuses in her lovers, "genius" means Yes, they have big tempers, most of them are arrogant and rebellious, it will be difficult to get along with these arrogant geniuses, and your personality must be very strong, because men in this era think they want Anything goes, and women are taught that women should be gentle and submissive.

Caroline told her the good and the bad of these young men: Gabriel, Vincent, Paul, and Louis whom Caroline hadn't met.Remove the item of family property, only consider temperament, and put them on the same starting line as much as possible to measure:

Vincent is the oldest and the most unsuitable, because he is the eldest son. He must be used to controlling his younger siblings, he is used to saying one thing, and Vitaly has a temper that wants to control everything. When the time comes, the two of them will have to fight if they don't fight every day. Arguing all day; Gabriel is the only child, but he is gentle in nature, has received higher education, and can accept Vitaly to write novels. From these aspects, of course it is the most suitable for her; Paul is the youngest child, with three A sister, that is to say, he is the most favored, used to being pampered and taken care of by sisters, he is not suitable;

As for Louis, he had violent tendencies at a young age and was not considered.

In fact, Flaubert considered marrying Vitaly and Maupassant earlier. One was a student (the adoption was not proposed at the time), and the other was the nephew of an old friend. The age was suitable. Maupassant was 8 years older than her, which is common in this age of husbands. When I was more than 10 years older than my wife, the age gap was really not that big.But Maupassant is a prodigal who has no money and wants to prostitute. After he got syphilis, Flaubert never mentioned it again.

The old friend's nephew is okay, but it's not worth the life of a female student.

Not romantic at all, right?

There is no need to think too much about love, as long as both parties like it; but when it comes to marriage, it must be measured separately. Family background, personality, behavior, money, outlook on life, etc. must all be considered.

Vitaly liked Gabriel, not because of money at first, but because he was really gentle and kind.Perhaps her love will never be as dramatic and dramatic as George Sand's, but it doesn't have to be dramatic to be a "good" relationship, as long as she feels comfortable, it is the most suitable for her.

She wrote back to Vincent and asked him if he had thought about where to go. If he went to Paris to study painting, she could find him a place to live. Forlan is still at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and she would definitely help him find a classmate who is willing to share the rent. It's also good to be with the students of the Academy of Fine Arts.If you stay in Holland to study painting, please tell her the new mailing address.

Vincent wrote back quickly, saying that he might go to seminary, and he wanted to succeed his father as a pastor, but he was not educated enough. He wanted to go to seminary to receive priest training, and he had to learn Latin. He was very confident in his language ability , I feel that I can definitely learn Latin, and I will also find the true meaning of life in the Bible.

Well, if that's what he wants, she won't dissuade him.He will not be the first person to find the meaning of life from religion, nor will he be the last. Many people will seek help from religion when they are confused about life.But if he becomes a Protestant pastor, it is even less likely that he will pursue her. Van Gogh's family is Protestant and Rimbaud's family is Catholic. He has thought about this -->>

?Perhaps, wanting to become a priest is to forget her or get away from her?

Perhaps, Vincent will not become a great painter, but will become an unknown pastor?

At the end of March, Vitaly returned from Paris, and Vincent went to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, to study Latin and prepare for the seminary entrance exam.

Vitaly has been thinking about what to write.Speaking of which, she has accumulated a lot of material. Newspapers love to publish some shocking social news. The headlines are usually sensational, such as "the son of a rich man died in a slum", or "the mother went out and did not return, and two children starved to death At home", or "The courtship failed, the girl was stabbed more than 30 times, and the fragrance disappeared";

Or it should be very interesting to write about Pauline Viodore, a beautiful girl from heaven; although George Sand said that his marriage is unfortunate, he still has a script for a leading heroine, and his life is quite exciting; Queen Eugenie, don’t Having said that, countless women are recognized as winners in life, and it fully satisfies readers of all walks of life.Now is indeed an era when realistic themes are popular, which means that most authors have stopped writing earlier romantic novels.

When writers tell "stories", they are actually talking about "human nature". Some people have said that Vitaly Rimbaud's works have obvious advantages and disadvantages: because of their lack of social experience, they are relatively sensitive to some sharp Insufficient understanding of the social contradictions in the book, the description is not deep enough, and it is superficial.This is a shortcoming limited to insufficient life experience. In the future, when you get older, you will naturally make up for the shortcoming.

Flaubert, Zola, and Turgenev have also mentioned this issue to her. Her shortcomings in creation cannot be greatly improved for the time being, so she should consider making use of her strengths and avoiding her weaknesses, instead of always writing realistic themes that highlight class contradictions. , she is still young, even if she writes romance novels that young readers love to read, it is not "low taste". "Love" itself is a broad theme with a wide range, and there are many subjects that can be written.

She admitted that what her predecessors said made sense.

In fact, the best way is to work on a series like Zola, let’s start with 10 or 12 books, and then go to the publisher with the outline and writing plan. The publisher thinks it is possible to follow your writing plan. The prepaid remuneration is issued year by year, you can live a stable life with the prepaid remuneration, hand over the manuscript when it is due, and then receive the final remuneration. According to the frequency of publishing a novel in one to two years, at least 10 to 15 years of food and clothing can be guaranteed don't worry.

That's what Zola did, and he had a lot of drive!His writing speed can guarantee the publication of a novel in a year, with a maximum interval of one and a half years. The quality and quantity are very stable. His publisher is very satisfied with him, and the money is very straightforward. Zola is now at least stable for a year. With an income of 1 francs, it is considered that he can support himself and his family with manuscript fees.

She also intended to go this route, so she wrote to Mr. Alfonso, would he be interested if she came up with a writing schedule for a whole series?She briefly talked about what she was writing. Zola wrote family chronicles. There are as many as 20 books in the whole series. Each novel is a separate book, and you can fully understand it without reading other novels. Then use the whole series to form a period suite , is quite ambitious and ambitious, and no writer has done this before him.

Vitaly couldn't keep a family chronicle either. She wanted to write a set of novels about famous European women, from Olympias, the mother of Alexander the Great, to Joan of Arc, to Catherine the Czar.Due to limited communication channels and the neglect of women, most of the famous women are from the royal family, and Joan of Arc can be said to be a rare exception.For this French girl hero, the French people have always had great enthusiasm and affection, and there are many literary works about Joan of Arc.

Mr. Alfonso wrote back, saying yes, but he had to see the writing schedule and outline before he could make a decision.

Vitaly immediately stated that the outline is being written, and the schedule will be made in May. Before she goes to London, she will go to Paris to talk to him about the writing plan and renegotiate the manuscript fee standard.
