The book almost died.

On January 2 of this month, the book was published under the title of "The Song List of Hakka Youth", but it was not favored by the editor at that time, and the application for signing a contract was also rejected.

At that time, I was quite devastated, and deleted the chapters that had been posted (so I can't find the title of the book on it now), and then prepared a new book, and felt that my eight characters did not match the urban channel, and I thought that I would send a new book after the New Year, and I would have to send it on another channel, such as Xianxia.

The reason why the book was re-released on January 19 with the title "My Playlist is Amazing" is entirely because of Xiaolu's encouragement.

Xiaolu is a beautiful author, she writes a book in the female frequency, the book is called "Struggle, Kang Young-so!".

I now go through the chat history with her at that time, and my heart is still warm.

Fawn:

"Dongmen, I think your book is really good

I might be a bit presumptuous about this

It may also be a little aggrieved by your self-esteem

But

I really want to read the story behind it, and I don't want such a beautiful book to be gone

I don't know what the result will be when this is done

However, I always felt that I had to give it a try. ”

I:

"You're overthinking. Actually, I'm quite grateful to you. No matter how it turns out.

There are fewer zealous people like you than pandas. Be cherished. ”

Fawn:

"No, I don't want you to say this or that, I just want to read. ”

I:

"You think it's good, I think maybe it's a sense of identity from people with similar life trajectories. ”

Fawn:

"I think your book is very exquisitely set up, with feelings, with a plot, the characters stand up, and the story is very smooth and attractive

No matter how you look at it, it meets the contract criteria

The reason why I didn't sign it may be that the data is not good enough

But this book is written slowly, and it will definitely become a masterpiece. ”

……

The above are the original words of the two of us, except for the expressions that cannot be copied, the other words have not changed.

Next, Xiaolu looked for the author she knew, and wanted to help see if she could find a familiar editor to recommend my book, but unfortunately I couldn't find it, and the author she knew didn't write books on the city channel.

In between,There's also a small episode.,Xiaolu is mixed with female frequency.,Said that there are a lot of male authors who publish books in women.,Suggest I put this book in the female frequency and try it.,As a result, I searched all over the female frequency.,I didn't find a book with a male master.,So this matter is over.。

Otherwise...... It's possible......

Then the fawn suggests:

"It's a pity, then do you want to change it and send it again under a different name

The title of the book was changed to resemble the most awesome song list system in history

Although I quite like the title of your original book

But it seems that it will be occupied if it is deleted, and it cannot be used a second time. ”

I:

"I'll revise it and go back and reissue it.

Try as you say, if it doesn't work, it's no longer in a way. ”

Fawn:

"Alas

It's a shame that you can't see the back

What a good book. ”

I:

"Good eye. Ha ha.

Thank you fawn. ”

Fawn:

"I didn't help you, so you're polite. ”

I:

"Your approval is the greatest help. ”

Fawn:

"It's really pretty.

The text is written with great taste. ”

I:

"Haha, I'll praise it when I go back and re-edit the contract. ”

……

Then I re-sent the book. Because when I posted it for the first time, when I triggered the song, there was a whole paragraph of the lyrics, and many friends suggested that this was not good, and I thought it made sense to have a reading disability, so I reposted the book this time, and I cut off a large section of the lyrics and left only a few sentences.

This time, I actually had the mentality of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and I had extravagant hopes in my heart, but because the blow of the previous refusal was still there, I didn't have much hope of signing the contract.

However, something unexpected arose.

At 2019.01.22 16:14, the writer popped up the station short:

System notifications

Hello writer, your work has been reviewed and has met the criteria for contracting. Please wait for the subsequent system notification for the signing process. Please do not change the title of the book or the author during the contract period. If you need to change the name, please contact your editor-in-charge as soon as possible, and when adding the editor-in-charge QQ, please indicate your book title and author's name.

China Literature [Editor-in-charge]: Winnie

Contact: QQ:******

……

At the beginning, when I saw the notification message prompt, I didn't realize that it was a short signing station, and I thought it was a review notice such as modifying the avatar, so I clicked on it and looked at it carefully, only to find that this was the information I had dreamed of during this time.

The notification that came at 16:14, I saw it at about 16:20, and sent a message to the fawn at 16:22:

"Xiaolu, the book I reissued turned out to be short. Thanks to you. ”

Fawn:

"You're welcome. The title of the new book is given to me. I want to see. ”

After I posted the title of the book, fawn:

"I've added a book list to you. ”

I can't express my gratitude beyond words, I just want to say that it is my luck that I can meet such a passionate and righteous woman.

……

Then I added Winnie's QQ, and she quickly passed.

"Hello Winnie.

My pen name is: East Gate Irrigation

Title: My playlist is amazing

Just received a short station from you.

Thank you very much for your affirmation. ”

Winnie:

"Hello. ”

I:

"Hello, uh, I'm so happy, I don't know what to say, I wish you a happy Spring Festival in advance. ”

Winnie:

"[smiley]"

……

Maybe Winnie receives a lot of similar messages every day, and it is not easy to appreciate the change in the author's mind at that time.

I think that happy state I was in at that time should be special among many authors.

At that time, I said "thank you very much" and "I am so happy", which were indeed heartfelt words, and my pen name was Dongmen Guan Shui, these two sentences were completely sincere, and there was no water.

……

Then I follow the prompts in the background to submit the signing information. In the middle, because the uploaded ID photo was not cropped, I called it back and re-uploaded it, and it was not until 2019.01.23 that the upload of information was completed in the background, followed by the printing contract, and the 24th was mailed by SF Express, and at 2019.01.25 17:33, the information came to the background, and the book has been changed to the signing status.

……

That's the book's tortuous signing path.

The signing of the contract is only the first step in the long march of this book, and it is unknown whether it will be recognized by more readers in the future.

However, I am a person who is easily satisfied, and I will be very happy when I see a word of affirmation and encouragement from readers.

This is a sense of identity, which only those who understand can understand it in their hearts.

I like the Mayday song "Contentment":

"How to have a rainbow

How to embrace the summer wind

The stars in the sky laugh at the people on the earth

I can't always understand and can't feel ...... enough."

……

Whether or not I can get the reader's liking or not, I can't control it.

All I can do is write this book well.

The reason why I was rejected when I first issued the book, I was hit a lot, is because I put a lot of effort into this book, and in addition to the necessary processing, the book is basically my life experience in elementary school.

For example, raising silkworms, raising ducks, doing slingshot birds, high jumping, etc., these are all real experiences.

At the beginning, the bridge of catching the fugitive in women's clothes was designed because I came home from school in the fourth and fifth grades of primary school, and I saw such a woman in the scene described in the book, because I watched the TV series "Di Renjie", "Bao Qingtian" and some crime-solving novels, young people love whimsy, I have always felt that the woman was a man dressed as a woman, and to this day I still feel that she (he) has a problem, but unfortunately time cannot be turned back, I can't go back to the year to solve my doubts.

The year in the book is deliberately blurred by me, it is written in the early nineties, probably between 91 and 95 and 96, and it is currently planned as such, and as the plot unfolds, will it be extended again, and we will see at that time.

……

The Chinese New Year is just over a week away, and this afternoon I will go home to reunite with my parents, wife and children.

I wish Xiaolu, Winnie, and all the book friends a happy Spring Festival! Good health!
