When this story was published in Sanjiang, I completely forgot to write down the acceptance speech, so I put it together with the acceptance speech.
From the beginning of this story, I never imagined that I would achieve the results I have now.
My initial goal was to have more than a thousand collections before finishing the book...
A humble goal, isn't it?
I have mentioned before that I was lucky enough to sign a contract for my first book, and it was not until the day the million-word book was completed that I had 102 collections.
After that, the collection slowly grew, and it was not until half a year after finishing this book that the collection reached 300.
Or because when I was reading a book at the time, I saw an author wrote about a self-deprecating plot about how to write a book with only 1,000 Junding. I couldn’t help but complain about my first book in this chapter. There are only two things that are equal to books.
After attracting the attention of a large number of curious readers, I was awarded the honor of 300 collections...
I realized then that I was not a talented writer.
I often say about my first book, "I was able to complete the book without updating it even a day for 243 days under two equal circumstances. I am very proud."
But how many people have experienced the bitterness involved?
When I was at work, I came back from a social gathering and was drowsily coding.
Gritting my teeth and staying up late just to tell myself that it is easy to give up, but it will only achieve nothing.
Because I don’t like socializing, maintaining relationships between people is too painful for me.
Accommodate each other and give each other "face", but it's too painful.
So I am very grateful to the editor of Xingchen who signed me at that time. He gave me an opportunity, an opportunity that did not have to delve into interpersonal communication, and allowed me to live in the way of my choice.
I saw a path that would put me in control.
I believe everything will get better.
I started buying reference books and instruction books.
"Writing", "Araki Hirohiko's Comic Books", "Excellent Story Dialogues", "Words and Words", "Stories"...
I bought a lot of books that I thought might benefit me.
I have no love experience, so I watched "A Man Called Ove", "Six Chapters of a Floating Life", "Snow Country" and "The Most Touching Love Letter in the World"...
I wanted to try to depict a touching relationship.
I felt that I had no ideas. I read "What Zarathustra Said" and a small part of "Marxism and Lenin", "How Steel Was Tempered" and "Collected Works of Lu Xun"...
So I became a little confused. In the vast sea of books, I became even more confused.
What they say is correct, but they are also full of contradictions with each other.
I finally started thinking seriously and exploring what stories I wanted to write.
This story is my attempt to make it at least something I can live with first.
To be honest, I didn't craft this story carefully and I didn't think it through enough.
There are still many loopholes, which I admit.
But I dare to say that every character in it is accompanied by a lot of research information. I have never perfunctory this story, and I have never perfunctory the readers in the plot.
I go over my outline every few days, add or delete the outline, and adjust the order of things. This is something I am used to doing.
Before publishing the book, I submitted an internal submission to editor Lu Ming. Editor Lu Ming told me that I could sign the book and add him after review.
I was really happy that day, and then I made a wish to collect more than 1,000 copies before finishing the book.
Before that, my second book was serialized to 200,000 words, and I was rejected four times when I applied for a contract.
That kind of suffering without hope is sad.
So I cherish this story.
So when I started the book, I updated it at least twice a day. From the time I started to test the waters, I updated it three times a day, with more than 6,000 words.
Then, with the help of editor Lu Ming and the support of readers, I received a series of recommendations.
I'm sincerely grateful.
Up to now, many works that were published before me have less than 200,000 words, while I have already reached 280,000 words.
In terms of recommendations for the same period, I have always been the one with the most updates.
The most dramatic growth in my collection was during the days when I topped the sci-fi category signing list. I stayed at the top of the list for about five or six days.
Coupled with the role of recommendations, the collection grew by nearly 7,000 in those days. This is an increase that I would never have imagined.
I have hesitated whether I should control the number of updates per day so that I can extend the public period.
But I didn't do that.
I know very well that part of the reason why I can get everyone's support is because of my stable updates.
After all, when the quality of the story does not meet high standards, a large number of stable updates can allow everyone to slightly lower their quality requirements.
That's all I can do.
After I opened the book, I have experienced moving, renovation, and now the insulation of the exterior walls of the old building. Life has long been discontinuous for me.
The morning before yesterday, I unfortunately slipped into my waist...
Then I sat at the table with difficulty and endured severe pain while typing. Now every hour I type, I have to lie on the bed and straighten myself to relieve the pain in my waist.
But I have no complaints.
I am in average health and a smoker, at least a pack and a half of cigarettes a day, which is even more extreme than what I described as Constantine.
Then in April, I did some heavy work and felt unwell and went to the hospital.
asthma……
The emergency doctor recommended that I be hospitalized because the stridor was very severe. I sat in the emergency room with an IV drip and thought about it for a long time.
Finally, I pulled out the infusion needle on the back of my hand and left the hospital as if I was running away.
I hope and hope that everyone will follow my example and stay away from cigarettes.
I don't like hospitals.
I can't accept things that I don't like. If I don't like it, I just don't like it. I don't want to force myself to become someone else.
I feel like that's not me.
That kind of mental depression is like standing on the edge of a cliff.
I'm afraid of a sudden collapse...
So I cherish every one of my book friends.
I have never banned book friends, and I have only deleted three of them so far.
Or is it because these three book friends stung my sensitive heart...
You can see that there are both good and bad reviews in the book review area, and I am grateful that everyone took the time to comment on this story.
So I didn't delete the bad reviews.
If you didn't read this story and didn't feel anything about it, why would you spend time here?
So I am sincerely grateful to every book friend who has left a mark.
From the beginning, I never asked for a reward. It's just a simple matter of asking for a recommendation vote.
Of course I want to be rewarded by everyone, but I know there are some things that people are not willing to give me, and I can't ask for them.
In the end, this story is a commodity, and I am sincerely grateful to everyone who is willing to buy it and reward it.
But who am I to require everyone to buy this product?
I don't have such qualifications.
Buying and selling is a matter of mutual choice, and no one is qualified to tell everyone what to do.
The day of putting it on the shelves has finally arrived. It’s not my first time to experience it, but this time it’s completely different from before.
My first book only had two uniform definites, so I can remember the nickname of the only reader who subscribed to them all. His name is "Heaven's Lie".
Although he never left a message in the book, I once wondered if he simply clicked on the automatic subscription and then forgot about the existence of the book.
But now this book makes me really see the possibility of living.
So I came up with an update rule that probably works for me.
An additional chapter will be added for 100 monthly tickets, and an additional chapter will be added for a cumulative reward of 100 yuan, which will temporarily last for one month.
The average number of regular updates is a long-term indicator. The average number of regular updates at the end of each month is divided by 100, which is the number of even regular updates for the next month.
If this book is a good one, I will add at least 30 chapters every month.
What do you think of this update method?
Although I don’t think the probability of my own quality products is high, it doesn’t stop me from dreaming, right?
Of course, there is also an additional long-term update. Each time a new helmsman is added to the fan list, one chapter will be added, the hall leader will get two chapters, the protector will have three chapters, the elder will have four chapters, the leader will have five chapters, and the grandmaster will have ten chapters. Chapter 15 of the Alliance Leader and Chapter 30 of the Golden Alliance.
Updates to the fan list are all named updates.
It seems like a lot of settings, but the results don’t stop me from dreaming, right...
If this story cannot repay all the extra updates until it is finished, then the extra updates owed will be carried over to my next book.
In the first month from the launch, I will keep updating more than 10,000 words per day.
Updates of more than three chapters, that is, the fourth update, are considered debt repayments.
Next month's update is related to everyone's subscription. The higher the average is, the more my daily updates will be.
I am able to get to this point, thank you very much for your support.
So I really want to use a long way to express my gratitude to everyone.
But in the end all I could think of was a string of thank yous.
I'm so excited.
So let me just say "thank you".
thank you all!
Thanks!
Thank you everyone for giving me hope!
There is nothing I can do to repay everyone's kindness other than adding more updates!
Now, I will lie down for a while to relieve my waist injury, and then continue typing.
On this day, September 1st, I will issue a guaranteed update of fifteen chapters! I hope you all like this story, and I hope this story is worth your purchase!
If the economy is tight recently, I don’t care too much about readers reading the gun version...
As long as readers of the gun version don't suddenly come to accuse me of doing something wrong in the paid chapters...
Although I haven't experienced that feeling yet, I think it will hurt me...
So, thank you everyone!
I will release three chapters to everyone after the VIP is opened, and the subsequent twelve chapters will be released gradually. Don't stay up late and wait, my updates will be frequent.
The author looked south and paused!
