NOTE: If you came to this page from the news that I left Posit in 2024, I just want to let you know that I no loner need sponsorship now. I have started doing some contract work with Swiss Re and Merck, which should be enough for me and my family to live comfortably. I really appreciate the amazing help from the community in January 2024. I was deeply moved, and will definitely continue to contribute to open source (in particularly, R packages and tools). Thank you very much!
You can largely ignore the rest of this page, unless you are really interested in the other side of me, on which I don't really have any expectations and I hope you don't, either.
I started blogging in 2005 and have written about 1500 posts (Chinese: https://yihui.org/cn/; English: https://yihui.org/en/). I wonder if it's worth putting together some posts and self-publishing them as books. In addition, I also became interested in writing novels after I wrote my first story "Night Shadows in Denver". I'd like to experiment more in this direction. I'm curious about a different life with writing books, especially non-technical books such as novels, poetry, and kids stories. The language will primarily be Chinese (because it's my native language) but I can also consider English if there is demand.
Below is a list of books and topics that I'm highly interested in:
[ ] The fun of cooking
[ ] Old memories of friends, family members, and neighbors
[ ] How to recover from the habit of mixing too many English words into Chinese in daily conversations among Chinese
[ ] Reading notes
[ ] Essays on daily life
[ ] Self-help
[ ] A epistolary novel consisting of letters between friends
[ ] Shadows and Rain in Denver
[ ] Stories of/for my kids
写了十几年日志、积攒了三百多万字后，我也想尝试一种新的职业可能，那就是专职写书，尤其是非技术性的书。虽然我对这个可能性颇为怀疑（市场需求可能不会大到能让我全职来写），但我还是打算在此探探路。目前我已经挑选了一部分日志排好一本诗集《他乡遇故吃》，接下来我还有以下感兴趣的主题：
[ ] 《厨房记趣》：下厨的乐趣和心得
[ ] 《旧处寻行迹》：忆旧的散文杂篇
[ ] 《中英混杂康复指南》：帮中国人说一口、写一手流利的中文
[ ] 读书笔记和心得
[ ] 日常生活散文杂文
[ ] 自我成长（心理、哲学等）
[ ] 《千语千信》：一本帮微信、短信重度患者重新找回写信幸福的小说
[ ] 《丹佛雨影》：将《丹佛夜影》的后两篇《丹佛夜雨》《丹佛夜咏》写完，完成三部曲
[ ] 《呆头懵脑》：给自家娃写的故事
