Section XXVI awaiting reply

The next day, the third day, the fourth day, four days in a row, Feng Chaochen was repeating the life of coding words at home in the morning and entering the Internet café in the afternoon, writing five or six thousand words every morning, and coming to the Pentium Internet café with the manuscript paper in the afternoon, looking for a quiet corner with few people, first open Qianqian Jing to listen, search for a few pure music and put it up, although Feng Chaochen likes to use pure music as BGM, but in fact, there are not many music names he can remember, and he basically enters performers like Banderi to join the music. But "The Dance of Fireflies" is an exception, not only Feng Chaochen's must-order music every time, but also a song, the squeaking insect chirping at the beginning brings the quiet taste of the summer field night in an instant, warm and comfortable BGM pure music, the piano music accompanied by the soft sound of summer insects throughout the whole process brings a quiet and fresh meaning of the field after the rain late at night, every time you listen to it, it brings Feng Chaochen a light, natural and quiet feeling, this music, there is a charm that can make Feng Chaochen quickly quiet down the whole body and mind at the moment he hears it.

When writing a novel, you need a very quiet and peaceful heart, only when the heart is quiet and not cranky, can the brain be in the most active state, devote yourself to the plot to be written, and be able to write like a fly, and the spirit is like a spring. So Feng Chaochen has always liked the music "Firefly Dance", and he still never gets tired of listening to it for a few years.

Put on the headphones, block out the other noisy sounds in the Internet café, Feng Chaochen skillfully opened the document, and after adapting to the smart ABC, although the typing speed is not as fast as when he used Sogou before, it is also much faster than the first day, and then the place of the previous day continues to be entered, and in four days, he quickly stepped up, and finally entered all the 120,000 words that had been written into the computer.

After the last document was checked for typos and omissions, and successfully deposited in the mailbox, Feng Chaochen subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, wrote a big plan, and completed another stage.

After more than a week of high-intensity writing and document entry, Feng Chaochen also felt a little tired, and now he had completed an important stage, calming down, slumping on the back chair, squinting his eyes, listening to the soft music coming out of the headphones, and scanning his eyes on the documents in the mailbox.

Feng Chaochen calculated in his heart, the number of words entered for four days, and after removing the outline, there were about 110,000 words, which far exceeded the minimum number of words required by the publishing house, and the submission must be more than enough.

At this time, there was a melodious ocarina sound in the earphones, which is Sojiro's classic work "The Original Scenery of the Hometown", which is a representative work of the musical instrument Ocarina, and the Ocarina has been a very unpopular musical instrument before Sojiro, not to mention the general public, even the students of the Conservatory of Music, may not have heard of this instrument, and Sojiro has made the Ocarina famous in the world with a melodious and tactful flute sound and a long aftertaste of the "Original Scenery of the Hometown". When Feng Chaochen first heard this piece, he was instantly attracted by its fresh and melodious ocarina music, and when he closed his eyes and listened, he seemed to be able to feel that the performer was expounding his feelings for all things in nature and the mountains and rivers.

Hearing this fresh and long song at this moment, Feng Chaochen's originally excited mood also quieted down inexplicably, thought for a while, took a deep breath, sat up straight, and began to operate with both hands on the keyboard. Ten minutes later, a freshly baked document appeared in the mailbox again, it was Feng Chaochen's brief resume and current contact information, in order to avoid the publishing house people from looking down on him, Feng Chaochen deliberately hid the date of birth and age, and the contact number left was his father Feng Linjun, especially indicating that when there is no urgency, try to use the mailbox and QQ or MSN, and try not to use the phone to contact. Attaching a resume and contact information is a necessary step for editors to contact themselves, and manuscripts without these are likely to be rejected by troublesome editors unless they are of very high quality.

With these basic things ready, Feng Chaochen began to search the Internet for the email address of the publishing house in Taiwan.

Before his rebirth, none of Feng Chaochen's books were completed, and his grades were not very good, so he had no chance of publication. However, this kind of thing is the same as never eating pork and seeing a pig run, in some writers' groups, there are successful contributors who have shared their experience, Feng Chaochen has written it down, and now it is just in use.

It's 2001, and it's the period when Taiwan's publishing houses began to collect fantasy novels on a large scale, and these mailboxes have been advertised on the Internet, and it is not difficult to find. After carefully observing and screening, Feng Chaochen selected six publishing houses that he felt would be more well-known, checked the two documents carefully, and clicked send to the six email addresses after confirming that they were correct.

Although publishers like to emphasize that they can't submit more than one manuscript, as an author, they must be in the spirit of casting a wide net when submitting their manuscripts, and submit to several publishers at the same time. Generally speaking, the review time of the publishing house is about half a month, and it may even be extended, if you don't submit more manuscripts and cast more nets to catch more fish, if the reply of the publishing house after half a month is to reject the manuscript, and then switch to the next one, it will be a big waste of time. The most important thing is that the psychological torment during the waiting period for review will be several times more, and no one likes this kind of anxious and anxious waiting, and they all hope that the waiting time is as short as possible. And it is normal to reject the manuscript once, and two or three times is a very big blow, so it is better to simply vote for several at once, whether to reject or pass, and know clearly at one time.

With more than ten years of reading and writing experience, Feng Chaochen still has some confidence in his early style of "Red Lotus Fire", the early online fantasy novels are still relatively literary, although they are novels, but the protagonist generally does not have any external halo, the struggle is very hard, it still looks quite tiring, it is not as white as it was later, and it has completely become a flowing water upgrade text. Feng Chaochen thought of these when he wrote this "Red Lotus Fire", the text is not particularly thorough, but there is no literary tone at all, the red lotus fire added is the biggest "plug-in" of the protagonist, the progress of the protagonist in magic practice before and after getting the red lotus is not the same, Feng Chaochen's first 110,000 words of submission, especially focus on describing this "cheat", and describe the biggest cool point of the red lotus very carefully. A similar selling point has long been used in online articles a few years later, and it is not surprising at all, but in this era when the protagonists are all hard to cultivate and become steel, it can still be used as a novel selling point to make gimmicks.

The protagonist's cultivation at the beginning is not brilliant, after getting the red lotus, although the magic ability of other departments is lost, but the enhancement and mutation of fire magic combined with the protagonist's fiery and impulsive personality, it can still play a good superposition effect, and with the improvement of the protagonist's strength, encountering more and more powerful enemies, the strange functions of the red lotus in all aspects will gradually be revealed, and in the end, the true identity of the mysterious object of the red lotus will be revealed. Such a magic campus upgrade stream, although it is not brilliant at all in the era before rebirth, but in 2001, it still seems to be a bit ahead of the times, Feng Chaochen believes that it will be able to attract the interest of many readers.

was reborn, Feng Chaochen did not do a big copy of the world as described in many novels, and copied those popular online novels in later generations. First, because his memory is not a hard drive, he remembers everything he has read word for word, and for those novels, he remembers a general plot, and he has to fill in the gaps of oblivion by himself, which is not much different from reimagining a novel. It's so hard to copy someone else's novels, even if the original author of those novels deletes and rewrites them once after writing them, the second edition of the work is unlikely to be exactly the same as the previous one, let alone a reader who has only read it once and then copied it a few years later.

Second, Feng Chaochen also has his own ideas, he doesn't believe that a self who has returned from more than ten years can't write a novel that can make his dream come true. Feng Chaochen is confident that he has read nearly 100 million words and created millions of words, going back to more than ten years ago, and can write novels of good quality and belong to him.

Now that the first volume of this first work has almost been completed and has been submitted, all that remains to be done now is to wait.

As long as this novel can be successfully published and achieve decent results, Feng Chaochen feels that he has achieved his goal, and he will be able to write these completely self-conceived works more confidently in the future.

Now he doesn't want to go too far, and he doesn't expect his works to be on a par with those great gods, but as long as he can be recognized by the market, he will write better and better in the future, and there may not be a day when he will not be able to shine and live his ideal life.
