【請假寫書 Time away to write book】



【請假寫書  Time away to write book

我親愛的朋友和讀者們,不知道在你們中有幾多位還記得這張照片?這是我【Rice Bowl Tales 有碗話碗】部落格成立後版頭的第一幅圖像。這相片是有一年我們去中國烏鎮旅行時拍的 。

To all my dear friends and readers,  I don't know how many of you still remember this photo? Which was the first header picture for my 【Rice Bowl Tales】blog. It was taken in an ancient town in China one year whilst we were travelling there.

在两年多前  2011 1 31 日那天,我寫出了第一篇的網誌。那時,我两個孩子還在大學唸書;今天他們畢業已一年了。開始時,寫部落格只不過是給我這個沒有孩子在家的失業媽媽一些事情可做,讓我可以暫時寄托於這個新工作上。

逐漸地,寫網誌竟成為我生活中很重要的部份。家人、朋友和讀者們給予我的支持和鼓勵是那麼寶貴;還有那些因部落格而建立的友誼。

與讀者分享食譜已給我帶來許多樂趣和精神上的回贈;可以想像當一間台灣出版社的編輯聯絡我,請我替他們寫一本食譜新書時,我興奮的心情!對這個難得的機會,我深感榮幸。

現在一切細節已談妥,我終於可以把這消息告訴你們了。因為出版社計劃在 2014 3 月出版我的書,我要在今年 11 30 日前把全部食譜、照片和文章完成。因此我要即時動手進行一切寫作事宜。未來的三個月裏,很不好意思我將不能經常刊出食譜或與大家閒談。我將會集中全副心力於撰寫這本書上!

我沒露臉時,你應知我仍在這兒,請仍來探我。當我寫得累了,想跟大家互道一下近况時,希望有你來和我閒談。更重要的還請經常給我看你們用我食譜做的菜或點心。

總括來說,我很需要大家繼續的支持,對我是最有意義的動力能源!我希望能藉這段時間好好為大家寫本你們會喜歡的書。

衷心感謝你們,我親愛的朋友和讀者。

I started the blog on 31st January 2011, a little more than two and a half years ago. At that time; my children were only half way through their university education, now they have already been graduated a year! To start with, the blog was just something for me to do to keep me busy, to fill up the gaps of a redundant mother's spare time.

Little did I know it would become a huge part of my life as time went on. The support and encouragement from my family, friends and readers has been tremendous; and I've made some really good friends through the blogging community.

Writing the blog and sharing recipes with my readers increasingly became an enjoyable and rewarding part of my life; so when I was asked to write a cook book by the editor of a publisher in Taiwan, I was thrilled! I feel so honoured and humbled at the same time for this wonderful opportunity.

The details are now finalised so I can tell you my dear friends and readers about this news. I now need to proceed in writing the book in order to adhere to my deadline of 31st November to complete my recipes and photos, allowing it to be published at the scheduled date of March 2014.

Unfortunately, this means that in the next three months, I won't be able to post recipes on my blog or talk to you as often as I would have loved to;  it's because I am working on this book, a book that I will be giving 100% of my dedications, nothing less! 

During my absence, please don't be a stranger. You know where I am, I will still be here. If I feel tired of writing and want to sit outside and have a chat, it would be lovely if you can join me for a catch up. And I would appreciate it too if you will still show me your lovely cooking made with my recipes. 

All in all, I wish to continue having your loving support, it means so much to me! I hope that my time away will be worthwhile if I am able to create a book you will enjoy reading.

Many thanks to you all, my dear friends and readers.

  11. 亲爱的李珍,

    听到你要出书的好消息,我太兴奋了!我一直都想你出书!那个出版社果然有眼光,帮你出食谱必定热卖!我一定会大力支持!我希望您的书,纸质不要滑面的比较好,比较有质感的,比较好。因为市场上太多食谱都是滑面,很没有新鲜感。您的食谱,加上您的照片,必定很精彩啊!我超级,超级,超级期待您的书来到马来西亚,这样我就能买回家!然后更好的是,您来马来西亚宣传您的书,我必会抱着书给您签名,并合照!您是我最喜爱的厨师之一!

      Thank you very much for being so sweet and lovely as usual! I'm indeed very grateful for this opportunity.

      I'm trying to take it easy but the deadline is only two and half months away so I think I will need to pick up the speed now sooner rather than later.

      It's nice to know that I have the support from both you and Ricky, deeply appreciated!

      Thanks Daisy, you too :) xox
