Looking back on five years of writer's career/drunk
I remember when I first came into contact with novels in 01 year, at that time I still rented Jin Yong's martial arts novels at a price of five cents a day in a pirated bookstore, and the first time I came into contact with this kind of book that was out of class, I was really fascinated, and I could hold it for three days and three nights in the Legend of the Condor Heroes, and take it out of the drawer to read it when I had time, and forget to eat and sleep.
Later, the rise of online novels opened up a whole new world for me, at the beginning, I was also renting a bookstore to read, attracted by the plot of the novel, and often saw that I reluctantly closed the book at three or four o'clock in the morning, lay down and slept for a few hours, got up and continued to read, until I finished reading it, I was still unsatisfied, crazy to the limit.
Slowly, I read more books, and the taste was picked, and I used to look at a very enjoyable novel and pick it up again, it felt very ordinary, and the first time I had the idea of writing a novel, it was in the summer of 04, when the pure people didn't know that the novel was serialized on the Internet, and picked up the exercise book with great interest, and wrote tens of thousands of words, and then it was like an ant on a hot pot, in order to find a publishing house, I was in a hurry......
It wasn't until the end of 05 that I happened to see someone reading a novel on the Internet in an Internet café, and it dawned on me that the novel was published on the Internet...... It's pure, there's wood?!
But at that time, the family had not bought a computer, and it was too luxurious for a poor and white sour student to take out his daily living expenses to write novels in an Internet café...... Therefore, although I had the idea of doing it, I could only choose to give up due to personal financial reasons.
I really started typing on the keyboard when I started to create documents in the late spring and early summer of '06, when I left school and entered the society, and happened to work in a small shoe factory in Wenling City, and the landlord of the factory was my friend, so after ten hours of work in the stove-like workshop every day, I would break into my friend's room, occupy his chair, and take away his computer......
Of course, the urge to write a novel at that time had not appeared for a long time, and the computer was only used to play games, and I didn't think about coding words.
It wasn't until the next time, well, I remember it was more than one o'clock in the morning, because there was no order in the factory to rest the next day, and I played games until more than one o'clock in the morning, as if I saw someone discussing a novel in a QQ group, and then clicked on the website they posted in the group...... That website was Chinese at the time.
After browsing for more than an hour on this website, which was still very unfamiliar at the beginning, looking at those novels and the various introductions about the authors on the website, the impulse that had been dormant for a long time resurfaced in my heart, and it was like a prairie fire, and it was out of control.
The momentum is surging, and in the early morning of the same day, a reader account was established, and then when I applied for the author, I found that I still had to review the manuscript, at that time, Lao Drunk was a real finger Zen, and he could not necessarily write hundreds of words in an hour, but in a state of impulse, Lao Zui gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and wrote from more than four o'clock in the morning to more than eleven o'clock at noon, and after completing the review of three thousand words, with anticipation and nervousness, he uploaded his first book......
Until now, Lao Zui can clearly recall the first chapter he wrote, the content of which is that the seven or eight-year-old protagonist helped a dying old man, and then the old man claimed to be the god of the universe, and the bull fork was incomparable, pulling the protagonist to teach him the super exercises of the universe......
It's bloody, isn't it? Lao Drunk thinks the same way......
Soon, the old drunk debut novel was out of order, because of work, only three or four hours of sleep a day, and after updating more than 100,000 words for a month, there were few clicks, few favorites, few comments, and few recommendations......
So, Lao Drunk reluctantly 'strangled it to death' and let it die directly.
After the first book failed to hit the streets, Lao Drunk was very undiscouraged, and then created the second book......
Oh my God, it happened to be July, the hottest month of the year, working during the day and coding at night, by the way, to put it weakly, the monthly salary of the old drunk at that time was 800 yuan......
Just like that, Ah Q persisted for two months, and for the first time wrote a book to 300,000 words, but the imaginary signing contract did not fall from the sky, so Lao Zui once again strangled his second spring......
It seems that the old drunk deserves to hit the street, starting from June of '06 to July of '07, the old drunk strangled six books back and forth, with a total of more than 1.9 million words, and the computer at that time was a friend's, and from the beginning of August '06, the friend had a lot of opinions.
So,The time of the old drunk every code is staggered with him,Before twelve o'clock in the morning,It's all friends playing games,After twelve o'clock,The computer is drunk......
After a whole year of hard work, I really didn't see a dime of the manuscript salary, but I also posted the money for treatment a few times......
Oh my God, at that time, the old drunk had an annual income of more than 9,000 points, and there was wood and ?!!!
I saved more than 3,000 yuan by saving money, and my face was yellow and thin, but I hurriedly ran to buy a second-hand computer......
So, Lao Zui resigned from the factory and went home to accept the family's arrangement, and went out to learn business with the elders of the family.
But at the end of '07, things took a turn for the better, and the seventh book written by Lao Drunk actually saw the editor's message......
Well, that's not the editor, and then the old drunk was deceived by his sweet words......
After leaving, I signed a contract with other sites, and after a month of hard work, it was finally put on the shelves......
Then, another month later, Lao Zui received his first payment......
300 yuan, a lot, there is wood and ?!!!
When Lao Zui took out the money from the bank and got it in his hands, the mood was really noisy, and he was about to cry with joy.
When I got home, my heart was pounding because of overexcitement, and it was really fast...... I almost smoked it!
That book was Lao Zui's first finished novel, although the total number of words was only more than 600,000, although he only got more than 700 yuan in remuneration for the completion of the book...... But after all, it's finished, isn't it?
I remember that at that time, in some QQ groups, whenever I saw the author who was signing, the great god shouted, and I almost worshipped people......
Also, what makes Lao Drunk very envious and jealous are those authors who post their remuneration in the group, oh my God, you are 12,000 a month this month? O great god......
Are you one thousand six this month? Oh my God, super god!
What the? You're more than two thousand this month...... How did you do it?
That's right, being drunk at that time was such a state.
After continuing to write two books on that website, it was the summer of 08 in a flash, and Lao Zui felt that he had practiced his writing well, so he ran back to the ......
I remember very well that the book was called "Blood Cultivation Corpse Ancestor in Modern Times", and after uploading it with infinite desire......
100,000 words applied for a contract, but was ruthlessly rejected by the editor, at that time, the old drunk was like an electric shock, looking at the background news on the computer, dumbfounded.
Well, I can't sign a contract, and I'm going to hit the streets again......
Just when Lao Drunk was stupid and preparing for TJ, the same thing happened as when he coaxed Lao Drunk to leave, so Lao Drunk once again crossed the ocean and arrived at a completely unfamiliar website, signed, uploaded, and put on the shelves......
Inexplicably, the old drunk became angry (blushed) and went to the author interview of that site......
However, young people have no stamina, and every week after the author's interview, the old drunk will be rotten, and the kind of gray and gray will often be rotten.
However, although this book only wrote more than 400,000 words, Lao Zui also got a monthly remuneration of more than 2,000 or almost 3,000 for the first time, so Lao Zui wrote three books in a row at that site under the pseudonym of 'Fu Zui', the total number of words is not much, only more than 1.6 million words, but the total remuneration of the three books is almost 15,000.
It's fun at that time, but don't mention it.
Then, Lao Zui jumped two more stations from that station, wrote four or five books, and at the beginning of 09, he cheekily opened a new vest and returned to that station (jumping around outside, the poor couldn't live happily, and he didn't want to ask his family for money...... Alas, to die is to suffer shame! )。
Continue to write three books in the new vest at that station, Lao Drunk pinched his fingers, it has been ten years, from the first time he started typing the keyboard to that time, it has been almost four years, Lao Drunk summed it up.
In the past four years, Lao Zui wrote a total of 20 novels, seven of which were normally completed, four of which were unfinished, and nine of which were eunuchs, with an income of almost 70,000 yuan, and a total of more than 9 million words and nearly 10 million words......
After this calculation, the old drunk woke up, patted his head, and thought ambitiously, this time, it should be enough capital to return, right?
So, Lao Zui finished the novel he was writing at the time as quickly as possible, and he rolled it up and went back.
Finally, Lao Zui signed a contract......
On April 11, 10, Lao Zui's new book "Rebirth as an Immortal" finally signed his mother's contract......
At that time, it was called a tearful eye, that was called an excitement, and I was about to jump up holding my girlfriend......
Then, the old drunk who had been wandering for four years finally stabilized, and after completing "Rebirth as an Immortal" in more than 1.4 million words, he uploaded "Future Mobile Phone", and then "Ruling the Divine Power......
Lao Zui watched the numbers on the remuneration list continue to increase, and his mood was really mixed.
At first, I wrote for nothing, and then I couldn't sleep with excitement when I got a salary of 300 yuan, until the monthly salary changed from 300 to 800, then to 1500, and then to 2,000...... Three thousand...... Five thousand...... Until now, it has exceeded 10,000 in a single month, and this kind of taste is probably only experienced by authors who have the same experience as Lao Zui......
Because the current results are not easy to come by, so Lao Zui never dared to have the slightest slack, from April 10 to April, to now it is a year and two more than eleven days, in this time, Lao Zui wrote nearly 3.8 million words! Is there wood?
Smoking a cigarette tonight, thinking about the wandering, hesitation, confusion, and persistence of the past five years......
Heh, I wrote so much before I knew it, huh...... Go to bed ...... Good night everyone......
