For various reasons, I have to say goodbye, and the book is over.

Thank you for your support, but I'm sure no one will see it.

Ay......

The book is subscribed to the basic single digits, and the dumplings know it.

It's over, it's over.

It's been really dry lately, and I'm most afraid that the air will suddenly get cold! Dian Niang hasn't prepared a beautiful autumn dress, so she is about to wear autumn pants!

Fortunately, no matter how cold it is, no newcomer writer is sad...

From the starting point columnist: Hang Jun, blood and tears tell you, how tired it is to be an online writer...

The platinum god of "Survivor".

Don't forget to say thank you to those who are willing to pay for books, because without them, there would be no new books to read.

??????????????????????????? - Keigo Higashino

No matter what the industry, if you want to function, you have to have someone willing to spend money to support it.

As of 21:17 on October 30, there are 746,909 works (male frequency). This is the figure given after the starting point library has dropped a large number of 404 works that do not adapt to the current era.

Recalling the year 09, the starting point library has actually broken through the one million mark, and the well-known "Breaking the Sky", "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", "Immortal Rebellion" and other book numbers are also more than one million books.

And that's not counting books from some other channels. If you want to read all these books by yourself, I am afraid that you will not be able to read them all after a few times in your life.

Behind such a huge number, there is a very large group, that is, the group of online writers.

Most people only see the three young gods of the Tang family, the god of I eat tomatoes, the god of cat greasy, and so on, and the platinum gods are making money every day, and they have won the annual author royalty rich list.

In fact, aside from these gods at the top of the pyramid, there are countless high-quality writers, contracted writers, and writers who can't sign up yet.

Needless to say, boutique writers whose books may not be as good as those of the platinum gods, but they can afford to live on.

The current state of the average writer

What is the life of an ordinary writer?

Their monthly remuneration, plus the full attendance reward given by the website, many of them earn less than 1,000 yuan.

1,000 yuan is a very small number in this day and age, and if you want to get this 1,000 yuan, you need to do your best to upload 120,000 words in a month.

120,000 words, in the eyes of those who have read and read millions of words, may not be a lot of numbers.

But in fact, 120,000 words is a lot of work for many people.

Some people say that I can type 3,000 words on a computer in an hour. This is indeed a very commendable typing speed, but in fact, this so-called high-speed typing is just typing, and does not include thinking.

Thinking is a more time-consuming thing than typing and writing.

"How should this place be written?"

"Don't readers like to write like this here?"

"This one is not good-looking, and readers may not like it if the plot develops like this?"

"Hmm... It's still so good, it's too late, it has to be sooner. ”

Before you know it, thinking and organizing consumes most of the time, plus an hour of converting ideas into words, plus an hour of revision. A chapter is about a little smoother, and it also takes three hours. Six thousand words, and before you know it, six hours have passed.

And that's not even the time it takes to reach the plot tip, the big **, and the important plot set.

When this happens, the time it takes increases exponentially.

So you'll also see a lot of authors who say they're cardinal, and he does, and I've seen a writer who has been stuck for days.

Many people don't believe him, but I do, because he really wants to write his work well, and if it goes well, it is likely that his book will be reduced to mediocrity.

Most readers hope that the author can explode the update, but except for the super-talented part of the writers, the explosion will replace more of the book to collapse.

Is it really easy to explode?

The cost is enormous.

Only when the author is sure that the explosion will not collapse, can the explosion be carried out.

And this time the explosion hurt the author himself.

Looking back on the incidents of several writers dying suddenly due to overwork in the past few years. They are not great authors, they don't have super high incomes, they just regard writing as their own business.

And this industry is also an industry that is much harder than most readers think.

120,000 words, which can only be exchanged for a basic full attendance and a small number of readers' subscriptions.

In fact, are the people who read this book really only a small number of subscribed readers? Not really.

In fact, behind these small number of subscribers, there are also a large number of pirated readers.

Pirated readers are several times or even ten times more likely than genuine subscribers.

In other words, if everyone is a little conscious and dedicates a small amount of money to support this writer, his income will be very different.

The dilemma of the writer at the bottom

Not to mention reaching the point of a great god, it is enough for him to eat a bowl of hot instant noodles and pay the Internet bills and utility bills.

Everyone is always venting to the author of the eunuch, saying that his character is not good, and there is a problem with the pit product.

If you don't fill in the pit after writing a book, it will end inexplicably.

In fact, for a writer who is not a great god, most of the eunuchs are not something he is willing to do.

His book was not supported by anyone, and there was no minimum subsistence guarantee. Not having security is a terrible thing, he can't pay the rent, he can't afford to eat, he sits alone in front of the computer, and others don't understand him.

He wrote so many words, more for the small number of subscribed readers, and the story in his heart.

If he really is an irresponsible person.

Before he put it on the shelves, he found out that his book was not doing well, and he immediately abandoned the pit and fled.

Of course, many god-like beginnings are difficult to follow, and they are not included in them, and there are many responsible people in this kind of authorship.

Many of the friends in the column are discussing copyright issues and discussing piracy.

I also participated in a discussion in one of the comments, and even sympathetically criticized a friend who found it okay to watch piracy.

I'm sorry I said that, because piracy affects the writers at the bottom far more than it affects the gods at the top.

You're not in the industry, and it's understandable that you don't understand what's in it.

Often, the existence of a pirated website consumes the manuscript fees of countless low-level authors who are struggling to make ends meet.

I really want to paste the author of "Beast Blood Boiling" and watch the "Blood Flow" of the great god.

Unfortunately, it is no longer searchable.

Many chapters of this book were written in Internet cafes, and later he became a eunuch, and the reason why he was a eunuch was because he was poor.

And readers who know his name may know what his quality is and what the lower limit strength of his works is.

Is this the general trend?

No one supports the genuine version, and the end result can easily turn out like this.

I once talked to a writer, and he was a very kind big boy, who was in his early twenties at the time.

He said he wasn't particularly mindful of readers looking at his pirated books. After all, some readers do have little money like him.

What made him feel uncomfortable was that many people were just watching silently, rarely voting and rarely leaving messages.

He was lonely, he didn't feel supported, like a boat going upstream, ready to be blown away by the wind at any moment.

Later, he put a very blunt ending to the book, and he was in a terrible mood.

And during that time, the readers finally ran out, and most people's voices were also accusatory.

He is helpless, because he doesn't want to end it, but real life is a tiger chasing him.

PS: I hope that friends who have the ability to support genuine reading can support genuine reading, especially for those seedlings you like, whose grades don't look so good, and the seedlings you love to see.

If you want to, and don't have to work hard, you can support them by rewarding them, so that he can finish the book to your taste in a fuller state.

If you don't like it, please turn it off, because there are still people who like to watch it.

I believe that every writer who writes with his heart is not worthless.

Say goodbye at the end.
