Chapter 18: Pen and Ink
After dinner, Qin Ziyan walked into the study with the fruit bowl made for him by Qin's mother, gently closed the door, put the fruit plate on the coffee table, sat down in front of the computer and pressed the computer boot button, waiting for the computer to turn on, and then took out the notebook and flipped through the outline, and the outline of the full text had been written.
Qin Ziyan estimated the number of words, and tried his best to control it between 1.4 million and 1.5 million words, which is already short in the works he has written, and he has not set foot in the field of *literature, but as far as he knows, there are still more million-word novels in the * section of the Literature City.
Just like the god-level * author signed, he is good at modern *, a work is generally about one million words, but the number of words he wrote is relatively long, the longest is an alternate history of Gu Tan, reaching 2 million words, and it is also the longest signed work.
Qin Ziyan is now a newcomer, his first work can only try to make the words just right, if it is too short, it will be over before the exposure, on the contrary, if it is too long, he has written nearly a million words and still has no improvement, he should consider writing another article and a different theme.
Stepping into a new field again, Qin Ziyan actually seemed a little nervous and cautious, reading and writing are two completely different concepts, even if he has seen all the works signed by Shangshang a long time ago, Weibo also pays attention to each other, but there are few opportunities for communication.
He can easily write a subject that he is good at, but * is a different field after all, and the preferences of readers are naturally very different, just like every literary website has its own style, and some people only like to read it*, and some people can't accept it, a reason.
Qin Ziyan was stunned for a moment, seeing that 8 o'clock was approaching, he retracted his thoughts and opened the document, he habitually started to write a serial, he would update three chapters in a row on the first day, but now it is different, he used to be able to update without scruples, but now he has to control the number of words in the chapter a little.
Qin Ziyan put the chapter words between three thousand and four thousand words, added all three chapters to the manuscript box, and after setting the update time, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but shake his head funny, after so many years, he once again experienced the nervousness and worry.
In fact, his expectations for the first work are not high, if it can be the same as the beginning, the first work can be signed smoothly, if not, continue to work hard, from childhood to adulthood, Qin's father often taught him that the mentality of everything is very important, and the mentality is correct, so that he can do things seriously.
Qin Ziyan has a deep understanding that being in a hurry and losing the gap is the most important, and it is a big deal to start again if he fails.
Qin Ziyan flipped through the outline while eating fruit, and waited until after 8 o'clock, opened the web page to refresh the front desk of the column, and the three chapters had been automatically updated, so he safely minimized the browser, closed the notebook, opened the document on the taskbar and concentrated on writing the manuscript, and tried to write two more chapters before going to bed.
After concentrating on writing a chapter, Qin Ziyan raised his hand and rubbed his neck and shoulder joints, glanced at the time on the computer, and before he knew it, it was already more than nine o'clock, holding the mouse and clicking on the browser to refresh the page, sx Literature City refreshed the number of hours per hour, clicking, commenting, collecting and rewarding.
The page was quickly refreshed, Qin Ziyan glanced at the clicks of the three chapters, each chapter had dozens of clicks, the first chapter was a little more, much better than expected, the newcomers did not have any recommendations, only the "latest update" column that appeared at the bottom of the homepage when it was updated, but it would soon be submerged.
Qin Ziyan pulled the page down, and there were a few more comments in the comment area, in addition to urging the update, there were also a few compliments for him.
Qin Ziyan refreshed the page again, and there were three more comments, when he saw clearly the vest that posted the comment, his face showed a rare trace of embarrassment, when he first arrived in SX Literature City, Qin's father and Qin's mother registered an account to give him comments and opinions in order to encourage and support him.
This habit has been insisted on for many years, and once again seeing the messages of Qin's father and Qin's mother, Qin Ziyan's heart swelled with emotion, no matter how long it has been, his relatives will always stand behind him, give support and care for him at the first time, and his parents have given him great affirmation.
Qin Ziyan carefully read the evaluation given to him by Qin's father, and just wanted to go out to find Qin's father, but found that there was a vest lying in the reward column next to him, and the name of the vest was only a simple word "cold", and a number popped up when he moved the mouse up, and this number showed the amount of reward.
Qin Ziyan was slightly stunned, the amount of reward given to him by this person is not small, he is just a newcomer who has just registered, and he didn't expect someone to reward him at all, so he directly ignored the reward column just now, looked at the vest fixedly, and suddenly had a thought in his mind.
Qu Mohan!
He once talked to Qu Mohan about this, Qu Mohan casually asked him when he would publish the serial, he told Qu Mohan the specific time, Qu Mohan had seen his notebook when he was in the army, and he also knew his pen name, Qin Ziyan thought about it, and couldn't help but smile.
got up and went to get the mobile phone on the coffee table, in the week when the army was recuperating, Qu Mohan would come to see him every day, and the number of times he came and went, the two added WeChat and q|q to each other, Qin Ziyan opened WeChat and sent a message to Qu Mohan, and said in his heart that this Qu Mohan was quite interesting.
As soon as WeChat was sent, the other party replied, and it was a simple word "um", Qin Ziyan couldn't cry or laugh, this guy admitted it really generously, replied with the word "thank you", and thought of Qu Mohan's generosity, thinking about whether he should invite Qu Mohan to have a meal?
On the other side, Qu Mo leaned on the sofa calmly, there was a laptop on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and on the screen was an open browser, the page was the novel that Qin Ziyan had just serialized, and he gently buckled the sofa with his fingers, holding his mobile phone and waiting for Qin Ziyan's reply.
Qu Mohan admitted that he treated Qin Ziyan differently, Qin Ziyan's first impression was amazing, the first time he met Qin Ziyan in the 11th Company, as the president of the student union, he had to ensure the discipline of the entire team at all times, and he was inspecting the company one by one.
The weather was very hot that day, Qu Mohan's mood was a little impetuous, when he saw Qin Ziyan, Qin Ziyan was obviously unwell, to be honest, he didn't have a very good impression of Qin Ziyan at that time, except for being amazing, he didn't appreciate this kind of person who was too weak in addition to being beautiful.
will help Qin Ziyan, and just as a member of the student union, he has this duty and obligation.
It didn't take long for Qin Ziyan's name to spread among the troops, and when inspecting the girls' company, he could always hear the girls discussing Qin Ziyan excitedly, and even many boys joined in, Qu Mohan's eyes stayed on Qin Ziyan for a few more seconds, and gradually changed his opinion of this person.
After having contact, Qu Mohan's impression of Qin Ziyan is getting better and better, Qin Ziyan will not always provoke some moths like Li Xin, he is not a person who talks a lot, he is cold, and he even disdains to explain many things, but with Qin Ziyan, he feels very relaxed.
After Qin Ziyan was injured, he went to the Eleventh Company to visit Qin Ziyan every day in the name of inspection, Qin Ziyan's injury was not serious, and Qin Ziyan knew how to maintain it, so he cared about the injury or something, but he was actually worried that Qin Ziyan would be bored and lonely alone.
I accidentally found out that Qin Ziyan was still a very talented person, and the longer he got along with Qin Ziyan, the more he felt that Qin Ziyan was like a treasure, with endless treasures, such as a person who turned pale after taking a trip to the winding mountain road, he was still a sanda master, and even he looked away.
The WeChat prompt interrupted Qu Mohan's contemplation, his eyes slowly focused on the screen of his mobile phone, and after seeing the message sent by Qin Ziyan clearly, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he immediately replied with the word "good", then pulled the laptop and gave Qin Ziyan a bunch of rewards.
Qu Mohan likes Qin Ziyan very much, it can be said that except for Han Muze, Qin Ziyan is the only person who makes him want to have a deep relationship, this idea has nothing to do with the time when the two have met, and has nothing to do with each other's identities, it is just a feeling, although he can't say how complicated it is.
He didn't blindly express his favor, he also read the novel written by Qin Ziyan seriously, and he was very interested.
Knowing that Qin Ziyan was going to publish his work in SX Literature City tonight, he went back to the study after dinner and waited, Qu Mohan had heard of this famous literary website before, after all, it was a product of Yu's Network Group, but it had not been opened so far, and it was the first time to register an account.
After roughly studying the rules of the website, after knowing that there is also a reward function, he immediately filled the account with money, Qu Mohan has no experience in this area, and he doesn't know how to support Qin Ziyan, thinking about it, I think this is the most intuitive support, maybe Qin Ziyan will also be very happy.
At 8 o'clock, Qu Mohan used the search column to find Qin Ziyan's pen name, and clicked on the novel that Qin Ziyan had just published, which was the one he had read when he was in the army, at that time he only read the outline and character design of the story, and the chapters were also endless, but it did not prevent him from admiring Qin Ziyan's literary talent.
This time, I can start reading from the first chapter, Qu Mohan looked at it very carefully and seriously, looked at it word by word, and secretly praised Qin Ziyan for being very smart, and he could deeply grasp his mind and attention in just three chapters, and even he couldn't stop watching it.
With such literary style and skills, it is difficult to believe that Qin Ziyan is the first time to create literature, Qu Mohan suddenly remembered Qin Ziyan, and thought that Professor Qin personally went to the train station to pick up Qin Ziyan yesterday, maybe Qin Ziyan has been tutored by Qin Ziyan, and now he has this achievement.
Qu Mohan sent a WeChat message to Qin Ziyan while refreshing the page from time to time, every time he added a comment of affirmation and praise to Qin Ziyan, the curvature of the corners of his mouth would expand, he didn't know how the other newcomers were, but he believed that sooner or later, Qin Ziyan would stand at the same height as Qin Ziyan.
At this time, Qu Mohan was in a good mood, thinking that Qin Ziyan would ask him to have dinner with him tomorrow.
