RT, take a day off today to sort out your thoughts.
In addition, I would like to take advantage of today's day off to talk to you about my thoughts since "Road of Conquest" was released, as well as the next plans for this book and new books.
First of all, I would like to thank all the handsome readers again for their strong support of this book.
Secondly, here, A Qiao also has to apologize for only updating a total of 200,000 words in October.
Because I suffered from back injuries and cervical vertebrae this month, and secretly watched Ti for two days at the end of the month, the author's original plan to complete "The Road to Conquest" this month was indeed seriously delayed. I hereby apologize! (Reader: Do we want an apology? What we want is an update!)
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
Yes.
Although it is a little fast... As a basketball coaching article, Ah Qiao never expected that it would achieve such good results before starting the book. "Road to Conquest" was a relatively good book from the beginning of its design. Ah Qiao's first two books are shorter and faster-paced basketball articles.
Therefore, before starting the book, Ah Qiao’s initial plan was to complete "The Road to Conquest" within 2 million words.
According to the current progress of "Road of Conquest", if all goes well, A Qiao is expected to complete the book in November, and it will be completed before the end of December at the latest.
I remember that when writing "I Really Just Want to Strike Iron", the author once said: Since there is no map to change in the basketball article, and as time goes by, the protagonist reaches the full level and gets too many honors, basketball Articles will naturally suffer from aesthetic fatigue and homogeneous plots, so here is a chapter review from a reader:
To put it simply, basketball articles are like a big plate of elbows. Readers will feel very happy when they first eat them, but if they keep eating... no matter how good their appetite is, readers will gradually become full. And tired of eating.
Therefore, no matter how good the results of "Road of Conquest" are, Aqiao will not change its planned word count and planned plot, nor will it strive to make it longer just for the so-called low word count.
This is also something that A Qiao realized deeply when writing about the later stages of blacksmithing.
That is, each book has its own lifespan. When its lifespan is due to end, instead of continuing to drag it down, the most important thing is how to end it in a state that everyone can be satisfied with. .
In addition, since it was put on the shelves, I believe that all handsome readers can also see from A Qiao's continuous polishing and simplifying words that A Qiao's writing state is gradually recovering.
Yes......
If it can be reopened, in fact, the early stage of "Road of Conquest"... at least in A Qiao's opinion, it can be polished carefully to make it more high-quality.
However, starting a book again after a year and a half after a serious injury was reimbursed is indeed like playing basketball and it takes time to slowly regain the state.
So, again... before writing "The Road to Conquest", A Qiao really just thought that this book would be a high-quality book, so that A Qiao could find her status while writing it.
But who would have thought...that this book could actually go from 3,000 orders to more than 10,000 orders?
And not to mention, this book is a basketball coaching article that is even more niche than traditional basketball articles!
To be honest, if Ah Qiao could have predicted this result, then Ah Qiao would definitely have asked Shui Danqiao to get on top of her body and find a way to flatter her by a million words! (Good you dog author)
After all... the dog author is short of money and not in good health.
Therefore, if you have the opportunity to earn a little more money while a book is doing well, and save enough for future medical treatment... Who wouldn't be tempted?
But...A Qiao finally held back.
Because in terms of plot and rhythm, the book "Road to Conquest" is indeed coming to an end.
As the second novel in A Qiao's writing career, it can be said that the achievements of "The Road to Conquest" and its various shortcomings have indeed given A Qiao a lot of confidence.
To make money by coding, in A Qiao's view, especially for a full-time writer like A Qiao, performance always comes first. After all, how can a full-time writer support his family if his grades are not good?
Secondly, in the process of writing "Road of Conquest", as inspiration continued to renew, A Qiao also discovered... that the path of writing is destined to be endless.
As long as the author's original intention is to evolve and is willing to polish, there is no such thing as "exhausting one's talents".
Therefore, it was the shortcomings that appeared in writing "The Road to Conquest" that made A Qiao realize:
Young man, at your current level, if you don’t finish another book, will you be worthy of these readers who have supported you for several years? (Reader: RNM, refund your money!)
I remember when writing Blacksmith, Ah Qiao once said that "Feng Lin Huo Huo" would be the tetralogy of Ah Qiao's basketball writing.
Lin, undoubtedly, refers to Lin Yi, the protagonist in Ah Qiao’s debut basketball novel.
Since every time he thinks of Lin, Ah Qiao will naturally think of the big tree in his hometown, so Lin Yi is the tallest protagonist in Ah Qiao's basketball tetralogy.
The wind was pointing at Su Feng.
Yes, as the protagonist of Ah Qiao's last basketball article, if you still remember, I believe everyone should know that Su Feng's biggest feature when he first entered the league was his speed, which was at the same level as Bolt.
After all, as a protagonist related to "wind", Ah Qiao always feels that only Kuai can reflect the difference between him and other protagonists in Ah Qiao's basketball tetralogy.
As for fire, of course he is the current protagonist of "Road of Conquest", whose name is Wang Shuo next to the word "fire".
Since fire is often associated with a fiery personality, Ah Qiao had already thought at the beginning of the design that Wang Shuo would definitely be the craziest protagonist in Ah Qiao's basketball universe.
Therefore, the first three protagonists of "Feng Lin Huoshan" are generally tall, one is fast, and one has the craziest personality. (Dog author, you also said that you didn’t have an outline when you started this book?)
As for the last movie "Mountain" that A Qiao had planned from the beginning...
Everyone can also guess what kind of personality he will have, what position he will play on the court, and in what era A Qiao will open his show. (Reader: Want to crowdfund to write a book again?)
Anyway, the only spoiler about A Qiao here is... In the next book "Mountain", A Qiao will return to the player story.
In addition, if you forget to finish writing this speech when writing "Road to Conquest", today's speech for asking for leave to chat can also be regarded as the "Finishing Speech" for "Road to Conquest".
Next, A Qiao will complete the finishing work of "Road of Conquest" as soon as possible.
Then I expect to take a break of about three months after finishing the book.
Taking a three-month break is, on the one hand, to write a new book, and to make adequate preparations for the last book in Aqiao’s basketball tetralogy, "Mountain".
At the same time, A Qiao will also use the rest period to adjust her physical condition and find ways to save as many manuscripts as possible.
To be honest, if Ah Qiao could spend an extra month to prepare "Road of Conquest", then Ah Qiao is really confident that this book will be completed within three months of being put on the shelves. (Really! Not lying!)
Unfortunately, outbreaks like that in August and September did come at a certain price for A Qiao's current body. Therefore, after learning lessons again, A Qiao, who has always been very self-aware of herself, knew very well that only by finding a way to save a million words of manuscripts could A Qiao be able to finish it from beginning to end.
In short, here, thank you again to every reader who has supported "Road of Conquest"!
Because without your support, it would be really difficult for Ah Qiao to get to where she is today step by step.
Let Ah Qiao "dove" him for a day today!
In November, while begging for a guaranteed monthly ticket, Ah Qiao will work hard to get back into shape and try to finish the book in November instead of delaying it until December!
Of course, if it ends up being postponed to December by mistake, all you handsome readers, please forgive me for the sake of the overall update of this book being pretty good! mwah! (Reader: I have never seen such a shameless person!)
