I worked overtime yesterday. I got home at around nine o'clock in the evening and started typing at ten o'clock. By two o'clock in the morning, I must have written about 6,000 words. I will post them at noon.
This should be the first time since the book was put on the shelves that it has less than 8,000 words per day. After the book was put on the shelves on December 9 last year, it has been on the shelves for more than three months and has reached 12.3 million words.
It’s not that the author doesn’t want to write more or write well, it’s just that time is limited.
Since becoming a part-time author, I have never been so short of time since I was a child.
Like Levi, I am like a machine that is working crazily. While working, I am being carried forward by updates.
The biggest problem with part-time writing is lack of time.
Ten thousand words, if I don't get stuck, I will write for at least five hours. With subsequent revisions, it will take six hours to start. If I get stuck, it will be even worse.
I leave home for work at eight o'clock every day, arrive home after 6:30 in the evening, and start typing at eight o'clock. Adding in my weekend time, I have to piece together an average of six hours a day to write a book.
This is just writing, my continuous output, but as an author, I still need to "recharge."
I've said before that I've only watched half of the Wizarding World so far, and because it's been so long, I've forgotten a lot of things.
I don’t know what regular plots and commonly used settings the wizard stream has.
I originally wanted to take the time to read more other wizard-style classics, but after such a long time, I only read the beginning.
No way, I have to be busy updating whenever I have free time.
Lao Tian really didn't have any time left.
After working overtime last night, I felt more and more that I had to make a choice between work and this book.
If I continue to work part-time like this, neither my job nor this book can be done well. After all, I don’t have 48 hours a day.
After careful consideration, I have now set foot on the subway to submit my resignation.
Lao Tian’s job is just a salaried lawyer, not a good job within the system. I think that even if I am a full-time writer, I will find a new job as a lawyer in any first- and second-tier cities with Lao Tian’s academic qualifications in Chinese politics and law and work experience at Imperial Law Firm. , there is no difficulty.
I don't like to socialize or look at people's colors. I have been quiet and introverted since I was a child, and adults also think that I am not suitable for the lawyer's profession.
This book gave me an opportunity to try full-time, a dream job that didn’t require me to deal with people.
So, give it a try. Anyway, Lao Tian will have to resign sooner or later. The pressure in the imperial capital is too great. Sooner or later, Lao Tian will have to leave this city where the two big mountains of registered residence and house are weighing on his head. You can see it from some complaints in my book, Lao Tian resented this deeply.
I will basically go to Hangzhou at the end of this year or early next year. Although the pressure is high, it is still better than the imperial capital, and my wife and family are also there.
Although Lao Tian mentioned his resignation today, I estimate that I won’t be able to leave within a month. Lao Tian can also be regarded as the core employee of our boss’s team, just like Levi in the Huffman team, with several large projects worth hundreds of millions and numerous projects. There is a backlog of cases. Recently, due to various problems, the team has too few available people. Not for the sake of the boss, I have to handle these things well in order to be responsible for the customers and the case.
The next month may be Lao Tian's busiest month this year.
Let me take a leave of absence here in advance. In order to ensure that the quality of updates is not bad in the future, I may only be able to update an average of 6,000 or 8,000 a day for a period of time. There is no way to add updates, and Lao Tian still owes updates in February. It was finished two days ago. I will continue to keep track of future arrears and pay them off as soon as possible after I become full-time. You can find out the rules for adding updates by reading my acceptance speech and the single chapter in February.
Lao Tian needs time to read the previous chapters and sort out the foreshadowing, characters, settings, and subsequent plot development.
It also takes time to recharge and think about the outline and details of the subsequent plot.
If this blindness continues for thousands of days, this book will collapse.
Therefore, Jia Geng could only wait until Lao Tian got away from work, straightened out the book, and prepared the follow-up outline and details before he could continue.
To be honest, as of now writing this book, I only have a general idea in my mind, but no detailed outline of character settings... I simply don’t have the time to do it.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have written such a “weird” wizarding novel.
The guaranteed word count for this book is four million, and we will try to finish it within five million.
You can see Lao Tian’s attitude towards books from the book on my account. That book was basically a book for love. I only had one thousand yuan a month for full attendance, but I still finished it, even though it was unfinished...
The income from this book is much higher than the previous one, and I won’t have trouble with money, so I will work harder to finish this book.
Eunuchs or something, unless Lao Tian is seriously ill and hospitalized or dies and travels to another world, it is impossible to happen.
Please believe in Lao Tian and give Lao Tian some time to buffer so that this book can be launched smoothly and not collapse too quickly.
The most important thing is that Lao Tian will have fewer updates in the future. Please don’t scold me.
I've been feeling a bit sad recently because more than one paying reader said the chapter was lame. I really have no choice but to make adjustments to this book.
Alas, although the quality of recent updates has improved, Lao Tian still wants to ask for monthly votes and recommendation votes when issuing single chapters. Daily updates are 10,000. There is hard work even if there is no credit (whisper)
