Alas! The same world, the same place, here I come again!
First of all, what I want to report to you is still the word count this month——
Throughout December, my update word count was around 110,000.
It’s not a lot, but compared with before, it’s like a dead tree that has been reborn after its limbs have been broken.
Then let’s talk about the main content of December.
You who read this may still remember that in November I wrote about three things: Yuanying's extras, year-end stage, and Yuanying's bathroom.
The number of words I wrote in December is almost the same. It has four small themes: Maru’s neon variety show, IU’s concert, Yong Yong’s production attributes, and luck events.
To be honest, The Luck Meeting took longer than I expected. It is a plot that I started to conceive a long time ago. Although it was a little off track later, with my unremitting efforts, I finally made it in time for 2024. I ended the Occasional Games section before.
By the way, I also posted two chapters on the forum.
Because I don’t know when the next time I will write about the sports meeting will be, so I still cherish this second half of the month.
In addition, I saw some readers reacting to the production issues of Xiao Pei.
Let me discuss it with you a little bit here.
The first one is that in this book "Cupid" will be an advertising song.
As for what kind of advertisement it is, you can also make a guess or make some suggestions.
This commercial song will also be made into many versions in the future, so that IZ*ONE can go overseas in the future.
As a song "produced" by Xiao Pei, this song has many attributes. You can find that the source of inspiration for its creation is very complex. It comes from many people, which is particularly interesting.
So, after "Cupid", will Xiao Pei still write songs?
The answer is yes, because Xiao Pei will start a company in the future, and only by doing this can he sign back all the members, so he has to keep making songs to earn money.
I wrote the commercial song "Cupid", and I will definitely win the following song "DD-DANCE".
Later, he will also participate in the production of IZ*ONE’s major albums.
We will also produce some OST tracks, such as "A Poem Called You" (Hotel Del Luna, sung by Taeyeon), etc...
As well as Ledbebe's "Psycho", this song is also planned to be handed over from Xiao Pei to Da Pei.
If possible, Neon Market's "One Last Kiss" would also try to find a reason to write it.
In short, Xiao Pei will complete another evolution, an evolution that will turn his home field into a singer-songwriter.
What I want to talk about next is Maru’s variety show part...
Because the number of people has changed from 12 to 13, the division of teams in variety shows has become very troublesome.
Originally it would have been enough to split it half and half, but now I have to go to great lengths to solve it.

Then, there are extra things.
You must know by now that I have written a total of two extras in this book.
One is An An and the other is Xiao Yuan.
There is a gap of half a year between these two extra chapters, but what I want to tell you here is that if there are no accidents, I will release a new extra series tomorrow.
That is the Sister Pei extra that I mentioned before.
Because the last episode was updated two months ago, the time seems a bit tight, and Sister Pei’s content seems to be a bit too much recently, so I am worried that everyone will get tired of watching it.
But this extra chapter is what I have to write - I spent too much energy on conceiving the chance meeting before, so I need a little time to sort out the next plot.
It's very suitable to use extras as a buffer.
This time it’s the same as before. The extras will only take up two to three days of the main text. If you don’t want to read it, you can wait a while and skip to the main text later.
Speaking of extras, I would like to do a questionnaire by the way.
After Sister Pei’s extra episode, whose extra episode do you want to watch?
Currently there are three choices available to you -
Minzhou.
Guangbei.
Little cherry blossoms.
If there are many people who want to see it, it will be released during the Chinese New Year in a way that does not take up the time to update the main text.
Please take care of me.
So here, I have finished my summary of December.
Finally, I would like to summarize the whole year.
Since I published the book less than a year ago, the year-end summary is my summary of the entire book.
At the current stage, a total of 73,000 words have been written in this book, which is another high number of words.
And I am only writing now in January 2019.
When I started the book, my original plan was to spend 1,000,000 words until Maru disbands, the protagonists reunite, and then end the story, but now it seems that this number of words is far from enough.
As everyone knows, this book has gone through a period of abstract updates, and since I am not a full-time writer, I cannot guarantee my updates.
I don’t want to make my writing very popular and use it to make a lot of money or something.
I just want to write about my favorite idols so that more people know about them, and at the same time I want to communicate with readers.
In March and April, due to illness and because there were no comments, I once had the idea of "running away the night after writing my debut."
But very coincidentally, at that time, a lot of people suddenly came to comment on my book (does five, six, seventy-eight comments be considered a lot? Does it count?), and I still remember how I felt at that time.
I was very happy and thought I was dazzled.
Of course, they also popped rice for me.
delicious.
But I still like everyone’s interesting comments more than rice. This is almost the only motivation for me to write a book now.
Many times I think and worry that what I write is not interesting enough, that people may be bored by it, and that I am afraid that I will make a mistake in my writing.
Maybe because of my experience, I prefer writing stories between these girls. Everyone seems to like this kind of interaction, but I don’t know this circle very well. From the basic foundation to the high-level system, I have only a little knowledge so far. Not to the extent.
So if there are any mistakes, please point them out!
The last thing I want to tell you is that I still can’t guarantee that I will be able to finish this book.
It is now 70W, and I conservatively estimate that if I want to write to a truly late stage, I may have to write about 300W-400W words.
Maybe more.
Such a huge number really scares me——
Do I really have the patience to write for two, three, or four years? Will my readers keep reading for that long?
I am not sure.
But at least now I can be sure that I will write well today, tomorrow, this week, this month and even next spring.
As for the future, we will talk about it later.
Well, in the end, I still want to thank you for reading to the end, and thank you for supporting me in loving this book this month and this year!
thank you all! !
