The book is 10,000 booked, and it's like a dream......

I like history, I wanted to write a history book a long time ago, but I didn't dare to write it for fear of being sprayed into self-isolation (there is an old saying in the circle, history readers know more than the author...... ）

It wasn't until I saw the "2019 Starting Point History Online Literature King" essay contest released by the starting point last year that the prize money on it deeply attracted me......

The essay contest started on May 18 last year, and I spent a few days flipping through the history of the late Ming Dynasty, writing the outline of the book, and rushing to the beginning of 20,000 words to edit Brother Xu Xu.

My brother reviewed the manuscript very quickly, and replied that it was a little cool, so I tried to publish the book.

I am very grateful to Brother Xu Xu for this reminder, which made me suddenly understand the essence of the online article!

I reworked the beginning of the history textbook, temporarily added a plot of the prince's extortion, and found a way to shoot Cheng Guogong, and the style of writing in the back also had a direction......

The first chapter of the book was published on May 27 and then quietly updated.

Perhaps because there are too many authors like me, who have some ideas about the prize money of the essay contest, this book is not recommended until 160,000 words.......

Like ordinary newcomers, he waited anxiously for the recommendation effect, hoping to be promoted.

Popular Recommendations, New Historical Books, Classified Selections, Classified Strong Promotions, Six Frequency, Sanjiang, all the way to the thrilling promotion, successfully completed a set of recommendations on the shelves.

When it was put on the shelves, the starting point collection was 14,000, and I was very satisfied with the first order of 1,000 that I was expecting at that time.

Finally, on the day of the first order of 1400, the subscription ratio was 10:1, I was very satisfied, and I felt that I was one step closer to the bonus!

After the shelves, the small recommendations continue, but there are no big recommendations, and I don't know what big recommendations can be made after the shelves.

Many book friends reacted that I couldn't update well, and I was also distressed......

Writing historical texts requires consulting a lot of information, and I spend half of my spare time checking materials every day, and sometimes it takes an hour to check a small detail.

I remember once writing about the plot of shipbuilding, I asked many people how many taels of silver it would take to build a ship of 2,000 materials at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but no one knew, I checked the information myself, and it took eight hours to find the relevant records, and I only explained it in one sentence in the book.

This is not to say how rigorous I write, but I like history, and when I encounter something I don't understand, I can't help but want to understand it, which will delay a lot of coding time, plus my coding speed is very slow, and it takes at least two or three hours to write a chapter of 2,000 words.

When writing history, my original intention was to learn while writing and experience the joy of researching materials.

After all, codewords are boring, codewords without fun, they have no soul, and it is not easy to stick to them.

This is also the reason why I have always been confident that this book will not be a eunuch!

During the writing period, many book friends gave me valuable suggestions, such as small characters, character portrayals or something, I was a little dazed and didn't know how to write, because before I wrote the book, I basically hadn't read the history of the online article, and I didn't know how to operate this part.

Later, I found a few excellent works from the list to study, and then tried to write a few small characters, such as Xu Qingshan, Cui Xiang and others.

More than five months after the book was published, I actually regarded the editor who notified me of the award as a cheater, and almost blacked out......

Third Prize for Essays, Surprise!

At that time, I silently set a small goal in my heart, before finishing the book, let this book enter the boutique channel!

Because my book grades have been hanging, and for more than two months on the shelves, the average subscription has increased by less than 1,000, and it has stabilized in the early 2000s, and the number of follow-ups has gradually decreased (without panic at all).

Until 800,000 words came to a limited exemption, a wave of dry me to 3,000 orders!

On the shelves for three whole months, it has entered the boutique, joy!

After the boutique, the days are comfortable, the people are also in good spirits, no matter what difficulties can not affect my momentum to take off!

Once again, I silently set a goal: 10,000 orders!

Another three months have passed, and until today, six months and nine days on the shelves, an average of 10,000 orders! Gaoding 15,000, collection 200,000!

Ruthless people can have today's results, and they can't do without everyone's support!
