To be precise, this book will take one million words to write, which means it will take at least four months.
I have gradually become accustomed to getting up in the morning, looking at the stock market, and typing two to three thousand words at the same time. Because if you don’t code in the morning, you will have no inspiration at all in the afternoon. As for the evening, I use it to revise the written text. I have never been used to sending it out without reading it.
Two chapters a day, updating 6,000 to 10,000 words. This is my current rhythm.
This book has almost reached 1.4 million words, which is a number I never thought of. Now, my grades are stable and my mentality has stabilized. So you know, I no longer have to fake updates to fight against piracy - which is actually quite tiring.
The reason is because the word count has passed that embarrassing stage. Up to now, as long as I don’t commit suicide, most of my friends who have subscribed will continue to subscribe. And those who haven’t subscribed until now probably won’t subscribe. I don’t believe anyone is short of a few dollars for a subscription, and I have no intention of forcing it.
The first order for this book is 3,500, and the average order is 2,000. The results are good or bad, and half of the people gave up while reading the book. I guess that's my problem, but it's okay because it's not a hot book, it's relatively niche, and I know my readers pretty well.
To a large extent, I regard these readers who insist on following me as friends, such as Fatty Fei and Ouyang Yu. I read every review of their books, but I don’t know how to reply to some...
There is also my book club, almost all the supporting roles come from here, whether it is the supporting roles Long Gou, Lin Nanxuan, Lu Dabu, Zhuo Xiaoji, Ye Zuo (Nan, Gao Chuan, Yu Xin... or the occasional appearances) Zhang Yang, Zhang Chunlin, Cheng Yuyue, Ye Zi, rayser, Bob... even Hydra, the parrot Doug... I won't go into details one by one, ah, and the ranger who only showed his face and was beaten... …
In short, if everyone likes it, then I am very happy to write it.
The selection of material in this book is very confusing, I know that. And the subject matter of the next book will definitely focus on a certain aspect. I don’t know how many readers will follow it by then. But I still hope that like friends, we can discuss the next book, how we want to write it, what we want to see... To be honest, as long as you think about it, there is nothing I can't write.
Although what you see is just a pseudo-science fiction novel written by me. But I have also published a lot of articles intermittently, including Zhiyin style, old style poetry, new style poetry, imitation of Wang Xiaobo, essays, travel notes... I have also written ten years of project reports, so I really don’t need too many topics. (We won’t mention certain types of novels.
Well, the only thing I am powerless about now is gun battles... Men love guns and the thrill of shooting, but they cannot be conveyed to readers through writing. This is the biggest problem.
Therefore, I hope to discuss this book with you in detail, such as whether to **, whether to digitize it, whether to continue magic or become a barbarian with cold weapons, etc.
By the way, I use these familiar worlds in my novels just to fulfill my dreams. Everyone’s and my own contents are basically original. In the early days, there was still a bit of fandom flavor, but later on it was completely gone. Because after it is put on the shelves, if people spend money to read the fanfic... I will feel that they are cheating money. The next book will go further, and readers who know that world will see more flavor. But for people who don’t know, it doesn’t stop them and there is no need to go out of their way to understand it, that’s it.
Now that the single chapter is open, let me ask for a monthly ticket. Lao Lei seems to be in the top six of the category this month, so I have some small expectations!
