It's actually on the shelves

Today, when Ah Jiu told me online that my book was ready to be put on the shelves, I was shocked. Pen %Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info Really! It was shock, and I was thinking, "On the shelves!!" …… That one...... I haven't brushed my teeth yet. ”

I've heard people mention cola with two pots of old vinegar before, and I never knew what it tasted like, but now I finally know.

The book was written to 400,000 words, and the results can always be described as miserable, and I never dreamed that my book would be on the shelves. Ah Jiu gave me a reason: "In view of the fact that you have been updating very diligently and ......" (this is Ah Jiu's original words, many readers may disagree, but I want to say that although I can only update one day a day for the next two weeks because of work, I have never stopped changing, and I have spent all my spare time writing books. )

Attention newcomers and authors at the starting point! The first priority for newcomers is not to advertise, not to hone their writing, not to ask for recommendations, but to be diligent! (^-^)

From the time I started writing this book, I stumbled all the way, and I knew my joy and sorrow in the middle.

First of all, I would like to tell you why I wrote the book.

At the beginning, because of the withdrawal of my partner, my company could not be opened, and I called all day long to seek funding and buyers. I was in a terrible mood for a few days, and as the numbers on my bank card became less and less, I began to think about the way forward. After thinking about it, there was only one way to go - close the company and go to work.

It's hard to find a job this year, and the days of waiting after the cover letter is sent out are the most difficult, but fortunately, I can usually help others write some plans or something to make some extra money, otherwise I really can't survive. When I was bored, I went to the starting point to read novels, and suddenly I remembered the days when I used to write screenplays and short stories and submit them to magazines, why don't I just write books to make some money? The idea was like the flooding of the Yellow River, which was out of control, hence the book.

Speaking of this, I have to sincerely thank the starting point Chinese platform, the largest online literature base. If not, many authors would not choose the path of online creation at all, and it is the starting point that gives us the opportunity.

This is the first time I have tried to write on the Internet, and at the beginning of my writing, I solemnly warned myself: "Calm down, online novels are different from previous creations, this first book is just a test, to test whether you have the talent to write online novels, not to make money first." ”

When this book was first uploaded, I watched the clicks and recommendations rise one by one, and I still can't forget the beautiful taste in my heart. When I stopped to rest after writing a plot, I couldn't help but open the page to see how much my clicks and recommendations had risen. I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes when I say it, and at that time, hundreds of clicks and more than a dozen recommendations made me satisfied.

"Hundreds of people have read my book, and eleven more have thought it's good!" I thought happily in my heart, completely forgetting that two of the recommended votes were my own, and if I really want to count it, my recommendations are less than ten, at that time, my book has more than 10,000 words and almost 20,000 words, and the new book is uploaded on the fourth day.

Later, I realized how ridiculous I was at the time, starting from those great gods just to post a new book announcement, there were tens of thousands of clicks and thousands of recommendations in half a day, and I was not the only one who wrote a leave note.

Inspection! It's just a test, don't be discouraged! I admonished myself.

Just like countless newcomers, I don't understand a lot of things: I don't know that it is best to upload 30,000 words at a time for a new book, which can be reviewed by the editor as soon as possible and signed as soon as possible; I don't know what the new book list and the new talent list are; I don't know how to advertise; I don't know if I want a recommendation...... In a word, I suffered the loss of being uneducated.

After a period of ignorance, one day, a text message on the site changed my fate, and the editor Orange sent a text message to find me, saying that he wanted to sign a contract. At that time, my book was about 40,000 words, and I didn't know how rare the opportunity for the editor to take the initiative to ask for a contract was, and I had a long time with my orange sister JJYY, and only agreed to sign the contract the next day. There was another problem with the mailing of the contract...... Alas~ Don't mention it.

It's not easy to have a signature on your work, I think it's quite stylish, so we have become a member of the army of online writers, haven't we? After signing the contract, there was a recommendation, and I almost drooled when I watched the crazy rise in clicks. At that time, it was like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, and she didn't know how cheap her image of a local farmer was. Later, I joined the author group and met a lot of authors, and after the exchange, I learned that the results when I recommended them were the material for hitting the streets. Do you know how I reacted when I heard that?

I asked, "What do you mean by hitting the streets?" ”

Speaking of which, I have to thank my editor Jiu Mei, who discovered my book and added me to the group of signed authors, so that I found the organization and got out of the era of ignorance. I finally know the survival method of the average online author: open a new book, apply for a contract, ask for recommendations, rush to the new book list, continue to strive for the shelves if the results are good, and rewrite the new book if the results are not good.

What about me? My books are in the category of bad grades, what should I do?

My purpose is not to make money (the hypocritical melody is actually lying to myself), so I continue!

Later, it was a difficult time, and I wrote this book with my heart while dealing with the aftermath of the company, sending my resume to participate in the job fair. Although I was busy, I read every reader's comments carefully, even replied to advertisements one by one, wrote the book with all my heart, and even tried to keep the title neat and tidy.

But the results are still dismal.

Many people say that the name of my book is not good, the introduction is not good, and the style of writing the book is not in line with the mainstream, and I overemphasize the sense of picture and dig a lot of holes. I arranged the story according to the writing mode of the novel script, and as a result, readers who were used to reading online novels turned up their noses. But I'm really embarrassed to write those words about fighting monsters and upgrading.

But looking at the poor recommendation and collection, I had to comfort myself while feeling sad and wanting to give up: "There are so many readers at the beginning, and there are finally a few who appreciate my book." Now the question is, "How many readers are there who appreciate my book?" Is there a need to write down my book? ”

The joy of being favored by the editor, and the pain of being ignored by the reader, make me in a dilemma. I'm trying to maintain my sacred virginity plot (my debut is not too strong) and I'm thinking about time and money, and above all, the reader's sense of identity. It is sad that the author has worked hard to write without anyone approving it. In my opinion, a book written by an author that no one even wants money to read is actually more tragic than a woman who takes off her clothes and no one wants it.

I asked my editor, Ah Jiu, whether I wanted to be a eunuch or change my style, and I have to thank Jiu Mei again for her encouragement that made me determined to write.

From Ah Jiu's mouth, I know about a person and a book. You may also know: 700,000 words public version, more than 100,000 words when there were only more than 400 clicks a month, single-digit collection, and now it is a strong and strong book with a highlight of the starting point city book - Chang Shuxinda's "Red Man and Green Woman"!!

It was Chang Shuxin who told me the answer: as long as it is a book written with heart, I don't have to worry about no one being moved. At the very least, you can move yourself. He said to me: "Believe in yourself and persevere!" ”

I'm sticking this sentence on my computer right now!

Chang Shuxin's glorious image gave me strength, and I decided at that time: even if I hit the street to death, I would not change the original intention of writing the book: to test myself! Write a different book in your heart, never write boiled water, not too prison.

Now that the third chapter of this book has been written, I have made a compromise between my own style and the mainstream style of online literature, with a smaller span at the end and more plots in the main story, which can be regarded as a little progress. (Or maybe it's a step backwards, because it might not even keep a few readers who liked my style before.) But as I said, this book is just a test, an attempt. )

Luo instigated so much, and didn't get to the point. Since it is a testimonial, of course, there should be words of thanks: in addition to the previously mentioned starting point Chinese platform, copyright editor Orange, responsible editor A Jiu, and newcomer idol Chang Dada, I also want to thank Sanjiang editor Duncan, and many book friends.

The greatest pleasure of writing a book is to meet a lot of friends, the soul killer who helps me advertise, the starry night still shadow who reads carefully, the rain bell who often gives advice, and the monster thief Xiaoyuer, the demon de madman, the loser, and the god of liberty-lion who have always supported me...... Brother Qiankun, Wen Leida, and Coco Mingyue, who often communicate, and Coco Mingyue of the demon tribe...... Here, I also want to say sorry to my book friends who are happy every day, my book is still on the shelves, I'm really sorry.

There are too many people to be thankful for, too many touches to remember. All those who have accompanied the melody and accompanied "New Zombie Saga" to this day, I will kowtow to you in front of the screen.

Let's come back to the book. Now there are less than 4000 collections, no recommendation, and it is actually on the shelves like this, and it may be the first one without a semicolon at the starting point. Speaking of which, I'm a little proud again, we finally have a first, don't we? -- Collect the penultimate book on the shelves. *^_^*

Regardless of the subscription to this book, with the affirmation of being on the shelves, I will also work hard to write this book well. Hereby declare: guarantee the update, do not write plain water, do not supervise, work hard to conceive, move yourself. I'm going to be diligent all the time. (The editor said that if there is a play in this book, I will make up the recommendation.) I also said that if there is a play in this book, I will write it full-time immediately. )

That's my experience as a new writer at the beginning, isn't it very weak?

But! As long as there is your support, the melody will be as strong as the unbeatable Xiaoqiang, please continue to take care of it and continue to support.

Finally, I would like to send you two sentences that have been passed down from ancient times to inspire and be used all over the world to read, and the spirit is 100 times more inclusive of impotence, premature ejaculation, infertility, plus menopausal syndrome to express my gratitude:

1. Believe in yourself and persevere!

2. Believe in the melody and vote!

Slow melody
