欣喜之余，他也有隐忧：“人们因我个人的故事关注我，而非作品。我担心作品出版后，会辜负期待。”
据悉，刘楚昕的获奖作品《泥潭》，其创作历程本身如书名般艰辛。
作品构思始于2013年，十年磨一剑。初稿50万字，反复删改至13万字，过程充满挣扎与自我否定，投稿屡屡受挫。
Despite his joy, Liu voiced a concern: "People are focusing on my personal story, not my work. I worry the book might disappoint when published."
The creation of
Quagmireproved as arduous as its title suggests. Conceived in 2013, the novel took a decade to complete. Liu condensed an initial 500,000-word manuscript to 130,000 words through relentless revisions, wrestling with self-doubt and facing repeated rejections from publishers.

目前，该书已进入最后编校，即将面世。刘楚昕表示：“这部沉淀十年的作品承载着太多，期待与读者分享这个从‘泥潭’中诞生的故事。”
另据媒体消息，漓江出版社表示，《泥潭》初步定于6月份出版，请读者朋友期待。
