1st Anniversary of Danwu

One year anniversary.

One year ago today, I posted the first chapter of "Dan Wu Qian Kun" to .asxs. and then started my writing journey.

From the beginning, there were only a few clicks, a few recommendations, and a few collections.

Deserted, lonely, lonely.

This was the beginning of the dark period for newcomers. They went into battle in the dark, not knowing anything from east to west, north to south. I just remember that at that time, I was very nervous and had no idea what the future would hold. I even had the idea of ​​giving up several times.

I persisted.

After more than two months in a row, until September, the book finally received more and more attention, starting from being recommended on the first homepage of the website, to being strongly recommended, and then put on the shelves.

When it first came on the shelves, I was undoubtedly uneasy.

Because being on the shelves represents the vital interests of an author, it is related to whether a writer can gain a foothold in the online literary world and whether he can continue his writing career.

At that time, I happened to be unemployed and my savings were completely spent. And the author did not earn any income before it was published. If the effect of my publication was not good, then I would have to be forced to go out and work again.

It’s not that I don’t want to work, it’s just that I really don’t want to give up on my dream of writing.

I am uneasy, I am looking forward to it, I hope...

As a result, I was lucky. With the support of all my readers, I made some money after selling it in the first month. Although it was not much, it allowed me to continue writing without having to look for a job everywhere.

Haha, I think it was really lively when it was first put on the shelves. I remember that that day dozens or hundreds of readers came to give rewards, and the subscriptions for the first chapter directly exceeded a thousand, which allowed me to put it on the shelves in the first month.

the first goal.

The first order was two thousand, and all orders were one thousand.

This is actually a very good result for a newcomer.

I was very moved at that time. I felt like my whole body was filled with blood. Even though I had bursts of energy for many days in a row, I still felt that I had endless energy.

This is when I entered the period of excitement and anticipation from the dark period at the beginning. I was working hard with longing and expectation to find my own way.

But that's all at the cost of consuming your body.

After a few days, I became ill.

First I had a minor illness like a cold and fever, and then I discovered that I had a serious cervical spondylosis. I was forced to go in and out of the hospital frequently, and spent most of my royalties on repairing my body.

Because of this problem, the update speed cannot keep up. With the number of updates declining significantly, the loss of readers is inevitable.

By February and March of this year, subscriptions had almost dropped to freezing point, and my monthly subscription fee was only over a thousand dollars.

This is a quiet period.

I still persisted.

March 16th is an important day.

Danwu seals the recommendation!

This recommendation is the most important recommendation from the author of .asxs. It can only be accessed if the subscription meets the requirements. It is in the most conspicuous place on the homepage of the website and can be seen as soon as you open it!

This recommendation can also be said to be an important criterion for testing works.

The results were very gratifying. Through this recommendation, Danwu was seen by more people! Because of this recommendation, my subscriptions increased significantly, and I even finally entered the 2011 Rookie of the Year lineup.

There is still a long way to go compared to the great and veteran authors, but among the new fantasy authors, I estimate that there will be no more than five that can surpass me in terms of subscriptions, and I may even be in the top three.

Excited, very excited!

This is the climax period.

I worked hard again in joy...and worked hard for a while.

The number of words is increasing, and I feel that there are too many things involved in the plot. Each chapter must be written very carefully, and sometimes I have to delete and rewrite it after finishing it... But in the end, I still write slower and slower.

It has to be said that when it comes to online articles, updates are really the key. If updates are slow, subscriptions will drop. Then I want to speed up writing, but if the speed is fast, plot arrangements will easily make mistakes, and in the end I have to continue writing.

Slow down the pace to straighten out the plot…

During that time, I entered a period of confusion.

Slowly, the performance in all aspects gradually declined, including subscriptions, monthly tickets... Although it was a bit heartbreaking, I felt powerless.

In confusion, looking for the way forward.



Today is the first anniversary.

I have been worried, uneasy, excited, climaxed, and confused.

I feel like I'm calmer now.

call--

My life is full of misfortunes and life is difficult, but I am glad.

Fortunately, I am still writing and it is not over yet. I am still on the writing path of my dreams, and I am still writing the words in my heart for everyone!

It's not that bad because you are still here.
Chapter completed!
