Hello everyone, this is Dandan who just came back from the filming scene.
Su Zhi and the others asked me to go play but I didn’t even go, look at how dedicated I am!
As I type these words, I feel a lot of emotion. This is the longest story I've ever completed, bar none. The burden of writing online articles does not increase linearly. It does not mean that writing two stories worth 800,000 yuan is equivalent to writing one story worth 1.6 million yuan.
Every time it reaches a certain length, it is a new challenge. No matter how many short words you write, it is a new challenge. It’s like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro a hundred times, but it’s not as good as climbing Mount Everest once.
The later it gets, the more painful it becomes.
It's okay when there is positive feedback, but after all, I am not an experienced writer with profound skills. After a million words, it is actually very obvious that I will collapse... Whether it is the writing itself or the data, there will even be negative feedback at the end of the writing...
During the ten-month serialization, I had many times the thought of giving up: Oh, I’m so tired, why don’t I stop being in prison, Oh, why don’t I start a new book, Oh, why don’t I cut down the outline and finish it...
Fortunately, I finally defeated myself and completed this long-distance race with myself. Whatever problems the story had, I made it work its way to the end. I think this is where I'm qualified.
Because I understand that if you want to become a real online article writer, this is a hurdle you must face.
Those who can only play against the odds are destined to truly grow.
This book has brought me a lot. It not only promoted me from lv1 to lv3, but also allowed me to completely take care of my living expenses and tuition fees.
Speaking of which, my family didn't know that I was writing a book, and they still paid living expenses as usual every month, which was on the same card as the manuscript fee. One day I had a sudden thought. If the two amounts of money were mixed together, did I really take care of my own expenses? Has the money I earned actually been used up?
I was frightened by this idea, so I quickly did the calculations. I was surprised to find that in addition to the money my parents gave me, I also had more than 10,000 yuan left in royalties, so I felt instantly full of security.
I have been supporting myself since I was eighteen! I became financially independent by doing the things I love! I am a real adult!
I want to thank all my lovely readers, your tips and subscriptions have made this possible for me. It is you who gave me the dignity, courage, and strength to face life.
Regardless of whether you have subscribed to the end, whether you have scolded me or not, whether you are satisfied with this story or not, I want to thank you for supporting genuine reading.
You are all my treasures, I love you!
My roommate doesn’t quite understand me: Why do you still take care of your own expenses when your family pays for living expenses? Are you asking for trouble?
I don’t know how to explain my motivation. I just feel that I am an adult and adults should be independent. After all, my family is also an ordinary family, and it is not easy for parents. I think it is good to relieve them some pressure.
I am honored to be able to become a self-reliant person at the age of nineteen. Online writing brought me not only the first-page fee, but also made me understand how difficult it is to make money. Because I understand, I never spend money lavishly.
I feel bad no matter how much I spend the little money I earn...
You may not believe it, but I have the least expenses in our class. The teacher once asked in class, how much do you spend a month? I blurted out: About a thousand and two, right?
Then the whole class fell silent, and the classmates looked at me with strange eyes (they didn't know that I wrote books).
I still remember the squad leader said in a tone of three parts sympathy, three parts enjoyment and four parts disdain: "Then you are quite tolerant..."
Then I realized that most of the people in the class had living expenses of two to three thousand a month, and there were even students in other classes whose monthly living expenses exceeded ten thousand.
The children were dumbfounded.
Why do you have so much money? How come there are more people making money than me? ? How can you spend so much?
To use the terminology of our sociology profession, this is called the gap in ascribed social status. Some people are born in Rome, and some people are born as mules and horses...
I also understand how difficult it is for parents.
The money I earn is barely enough to support myself. The two of them obviously don’t earn much, but not only do they have to support themselves, but they also have to support their parents, support me, and pay off the mortgage...
Damn it! Simply superhuman!
My parents are very ordinary, and their knowledge cannot be said to be very broad. They basically spent half their lives wandering around in the small Sophora City (prototype). But in my mind, they are the greatest people in the world.
I hope that I can be as strong, brave, and optimistic as they are in facing life. Even if I have some opinions that I really don’t agree with, it doesn’t stop me from thinking this way.
This is what I want to bring to everyone through creation.
As Wu Bao said in the article:
Both authors and readers are actually part of our society. Modernization has brought division of labor to society, organically connecting individuals who were originally dispersed. People no longer need to take care of all the trivial matters alone. They only need to focus on one thing and enjoy the convenience and comfort brought by division of labor.
But while modernity brings convenience, it also makes individuals in the division of labor system vulnerable. We are forced to obey the social norms imposed on us from the outside and are alienated into what this giant machine wants.
We become cautious, vulnerable and humble. We dare not contend with it or destroy its stability. We will be trapped because of failure in our career, and feel humble because we cannot get enough money, because these are the evaluation systems formulated by society.
Many people are afraid of not being able to find a job after graduation. Even if they find a job, they are afraid of not being able to buy a house. After buying a house, they are afraid of getting married. Even if they get married, they are afraid of having children... Because in this evaluation system, we seem to always be touched. Until we achieve real 'success', we always seem to be humble...
But in fact, life is more powerful than we think. Without the division of labor and the system, we can still live well and realize the so-called meaning of success.
It should always be people who build division of labor, rather than division of labor enslaving people.
Positions and titles are just empty names, and we don’t need the approval of others to guide our own path. Even in today's division of labor society, every road seems to be in darkness, we can still find our own way and witness the light of the long night.
In my mind, online writing is an industry that gives people power, allowing modern people who have become vulnerable due to social division of labor to rediscover their emotional touch, rediscover the power of their inner spirit, and rehearse the freedom of their souls.
I hope my words can also have this power:
No matter whether the tone is drama or tragedy, whether the plot is plot or passionate, after everyone has been busy for a day, on the bus or subway home, at the desk or office desk, or in bed, open the Qidian Reading APP , after reading what Dandan wrote, I can be full of strength to face life. No matter how bad the future is, I can have the courage to face it.
The story is not perfect and has many flaws. Maybe it’s because of my talent, or maybe it’s because I haven’t yet matured enough, but I still can’t write the kind of story that makes people’s eyes shine.
However, as long as one reader feels this power, my words will have meaning and my efforts will not be in vain.
As long as everyone agrees with this, then I think every book I write in the future will be suitable for everyone.
The themes are diverse, the routines will become outdated, and the market will change, but some things never change.
Passion will never go out of style, touching will never go out of style, strength and courage will never go out of style, youth and love will never go out of style. I believe that as long as you can write these well, you will always be able to impress readers.
Of course there are girls~
This is my personal stuff, hahaha, but you all like to read it, so it makes no sense for me not to write about it. I can reveal this, the next book will also have a female protagonist!
The new book will be available to everyone in the next two days. Although the subject matter is not about beast control, the writing style and tone are actually the same. It still has a sense of campus, passion, and youth. If you can read this book, then the new book There is a high probability that you can see it.
However, the subject matter is niche, so I guess I will inevitably sit on the bench... I ask for your support, QAQ...
I never dare to vouch for everyone that they will not be in prison, because it is never the author’s decision whether to cut the book, or rather, the author is often the one who least wants to cut the book. 99% of authors really don’t cut the book. There's a solution.
So I don’t set up a flag anymore. This is irresponsible to everyone... But all the old friends who have followed me know that my character is very good in the street. As long as it is not hopeless, I will write seriously. To the end of the book.
So I still hope everyone can support Orz as much as possible...
Having said that, let’s say goodbye temporarily at this moment when the old year meets the new year.
In any case, the story on the stage has ended, and the real life is outside the stage. Hope we can meet again in the next scene.
So, my friends, my readers, Happy New Year!
