I started writing this book in September 2021. The original intention was just because there was a shortage of books and there was really nothing to read. In addition, due to the mask issue at that time, I decided to write it myself.
At first, I didn’t expect to sign a contract, so I updated it every day. I didn’t expect that I would sign a contract ten days later.
I was a little excited when I signed the contract for my first book, so I was full of energy.
But when I reached 100,000 words, I became less and less motivated. However, at that time, I still had many stories I wanted to write, so I continued to persevere. Unexpectedly, this perseverance would result in the book being published.
Only after I put it on the shelves did I realize that it turns out that perfect attendance cannot exceed 4 days of absence. However, in the past three days of fishing and two days of surfing the Internet, I updated one or two thousand words every day, and often interrupted updates. Naturally, perfect attendance would not be a part of it.
Seeing 4500 slip away from my eyes, I couldn't help but feel the pain in my heart. I thought about it several times, or just forget it.
But every time there is a voice telling myself, no matter how hard you persist, you will have to write 1.8 million words to see where your potential is?
What's more, I didn't think about making money at the beginning. Isn't it normal that I don't now?
In Ah Q's spirit, he started to write for love. He didn't expect that it would take more than a year, and there was still no outline. I wrote whatever I thought of.
To be honest, it was only a year later that I became interested in the royalties. For a whole year, I didn’t know how I could persevere.
During this period, a few old readers gave monthly tickets and gave me a lot of motivation. It turns out that there are still people who have been following the updates, and I feel like I am not alone!
Because I have a major job, this is really my personal hobby. Otherwise, if the score is 3 million, I guess not many people can achieve it, right?
The writing style at the beginning is really hard to describe, not to mention immature, and it seems a bit streamlined. I don’t know how to pave the way for the subsequent plot development.
As the saying goes, practice makes the truth come true. Sure enough, after writing for a while, I became more and more fluent, and my typing became faster and faster.
I remember that when I was at my peak, I had nearly 200 chapters and 400,000 words in my archive. At that time, I was still feeling very depressed. As expected, retribution came quickly.
Not long after, because I was busy with work and had many manuscripts saved, I came back every day thinking about writing tomorrow. As the saying goes, there are so many tomorrows and tomorrows, a living example!
Finally, it’s time to write tomorrow’s today, and then today’s today.
Later, there was a period of time when I was really tired. Although I knew how to write in my mind, I couldn't control the boredom I felt when I started writing every day. I could only force myself to write every day. Naturally, the quality was not very good, so I scolded people.
There are more.
But in general, I have gained a lot from myself. It is equivalent to giving myself a year-end bonus every year, and I have also cured my procrastination. Now my self-control ability is much stronger than before.
And when writing each story, there are some things that need to be checked, so the empty brain is also enriched. This effect is more obvious than reading.
I graduated with a pure science degree. Although my composition skills were good when I was studying, I never thought that one day I would be a literary poet.
Therefore, people are forced out, and their potential is endless. No one knows where their end point will be.
But now that I have a good beginning, I have to keep writing. I already have a lot of things in my mind that I want to write.
The next book is expected to be published at the end of the month. I already have an idea in my mind. I have been refining the outline recently. I will tell you here secretly that the next book will be about urban life. I will write about rebirth or pure love.
Type.
I'm going to Xi'an with my family for a few days in the next few days, and I'll start writing when I get back. I hope everyone will come and support me, thank you!
Once again, I would like to thank the readers who have been accompanying me all this time. Each of your rewards and subscriptions as well as your criticisms and abuses are an encouragement to me. I am not afraid of being scolded, but I am afraid that there are no people who even scold me. That kind of loneliness
I feel so uncomfortable.
See you in the next book. I wish you all the best in life, good health, and a happy family!
