At two o'clock last night, I was still coding words, and I was halfway through the second update, when my daughter-in-law suddenly walked into the study and told me that another author had died.

I was stunned for a moment, and my heart began to feel a little uneasy.

Then she showed me her mobile phone, and almost all of her friends were forwarding the news that she died of heart swelling at night in the grid of the platinum god at the starting point.

14 years in the industry, not a long time in this circle, but such news has been heard many times.

They are all talented people, thieves and idiots, and the night in the grid......

Seeing this news, I felt like I was very uncomfortable.

My daughter-in-law told me to go to bed, and the rest of the manuscript will be written tomorrow.

I had no way to refuse, because I got a snack bar during this time, I was busy with decoration and various things, I didn't have time to code words during the day, I was rushing to catch up with the manuscript in the middle of the night, and she almost didn't go to bed until three or four o'clock.

I knew what she was worried about, because it was a peer, and I knew that she must be uncomfortable at this time.

When I got up in the morning, I made up for the second update that I didn't finish, but I still felt that I wanted to talk to you about something.

People who choose this industry are really because of love~

I have seen many people crawling around here, staying up all night, taking meager or even zero remuneration, creating one world and story after another, which may be imperfect, but still full of motivation and drive.

If you change to any profession in reality, you should be regarded as a fool, right?

In this industry, even if you have been persisting and working hard, and finally be able to stand out, or even just rely on code words to get enough of the authors, they are a small number of people.

More authors are patiently tired and stay up late to code words in their spare time.

Many people see the monthly income of the god of success, but they don't see the persistence and hard work behind them.

Of course, I can't see the sadness of those authors who don't even get 3,000 yuan a month.

When I entered the industry in 14 years, the first book I wrote was one million words, and I took a signing cup from an outstation and did not receive any remuneration.

15 years because I lost the confidence to write an essay.,In the paste bar puppet puppet writing about the great god's homo,Can get some recognition.,And the first real remuneration I got was the second prize of the Motianji Homo Essay of the Great God of Forgetting.,600 yuan shopping gold,I bought myself a mechanical keyboard with a green axis.,I was happy for a long time.。

Later, when the restaurant was on the shelves, it was in the same frame as the god of forgetting words, and it was strongly pushed in the same frame, which felt very amazing.

Later, I participated in the sticker bar activity of the catty god.,I got three comics of the night.,I'm super happy.。

Those two years were really all about generating electricity for love.

I came to the starting point for the first time in 16 years and wrote the book "Auxiliary Ministers", and at that time, I liked the snow of the beacon fire very much, and I felt that I should also write such an awesome book.

But because of his limited ability, he only got a little shape, and he couldn't get his god, so he pounced very badly. 890,000 words, and at the end of the day, it was about 89 equal orders.

The book took about seven months to write, and the total manuscript fee was about 3,340 yuan, with an average of 400 yuan per month.

There are a lot of books of this level at the starting point, and the income from the subscription is almost zero, because if you update 4,000 words every day, there will be a full attendance award of 600 yuan at the starting point.

If it weren't for love, it would be hard for me to imagine an adult staying up late in front of the computer for hours to code words for 600 yuan a month.

Later, he opened "One Punch Tang Seng" 2016.10-2017.12.30 eunuch.

The biggest change that the punch brought to me was that I finally felt like I had readers, even if there were not many of them, even if there were a lot of insults and ridicules, but from being a stand-alone machine to having readers, that feeling was really special.

Yiquan won the second prize of the two-dimensional essay competition, and then got a guaranteed contract of 25 thousand words, the book was written nearly 2 million, and the manuscript fee was about 45,000 yuan after tax, with an average of about 3,000 per month.

Barely crossed the subsistence line.

At that time, I was still in college, living in the dormitory, college, everyone played games, so it was very noisy in the dormitory, and I watched the live broadcast...... So I moved a table to code words on the small balcony, in winter, the temperature was below zero, the wind was very strong, my hands were frozen, and I was holding a small stove to bake, I could only roast my hands, otherwise my fingers were stiff and I couldn't move.

The hardest period of time for code words was probably that time, and then the lumbar vertebrae protruded, probably frozen out at that time.

When I graduated in 17, I chose to work full-time because of the book of a punch, and I didn't even submit a resume, nor did I go to any interviews, and I packed my things and went home after graduation.

Looking back now, if it weren't for my good luck, it would have been a very regrettable choice in my life.

Full-time coding at home is a very stressful thing, because the manuscript fee was not high at that time, but staying at home all day long will give people a very bad feeling, such as gnawing on the old, such as laziness.

And when I first went home, I also had very severe insomnia, as well as a sudden outbreak of lumbar muscle strain and lumbar herniation.

When I went to the hospital, the doctor was surprised and asked me what I did and why I suffered a lumbar muscle strain at a young age.

About six or seven out of ten full-time authors have this problem, which is caused by sitting for a long time and incorrect posture, and it is often when they start to feel uncomfortable that they realize that they should adjust their posture and combine work and rest......

I can't sit, I can't squat, my parents are worried, and I feel very uncomfortable.

Later, I lost weight, did recovery exercises, and got a lot of relief. At present, as long as you don't lift heavy objects, don't do heavy work, and don't squat for a long time, you are no different from ordinary people.

A punch was written to Shangling Mountain, and then the eunuch came.

In fact, the outline has been written, and I have conceived it countless times in my head, but it has never been written.

Probably did not dare to write.

What do you do after going up to Lingshan? Destroy the Buddha?

I'm afraid that the book will be gone, and I'm afraid that I've written something I shouldn't have written, but I've been very entangled anyway, and I've written a large paragraph several times and deleted it again.

There are some things I should explain, such as Wangfu Shi Li Simin, such as Xiaobai to save the clan, such as Wukong returning to the top...

By the time I've sorted it out, I'll be able to write all of this.

In November '17, I opened the restaurant book, which allowed me to climb out of the pit of hitting the street, and allowed me to earn a relatively good income, at least financially out of the embarrassing state, and also proved to my parents that what I had been trying to do was right.

But the mental pressure has never lessened.

This is a common anxiety among online authors, and I have talked to many authors, even those who are already very successful, still can't get rid of it.

Regular and quantitative updates every day, from time to time the pressure of exploding, the pressure of chasing down the order, and the pressure of the change of wind direction in the book review area......

Maybe sometimes because of a sentence from a reader in a book review or chapter review: Good water recently...... Begin to fall into a cycle of infinite reflection, overwhelmed, and even panic and insomnia.

Starting from the full-time code word,As long as it's still updating,I haven't experienced a completely relaxed vacation.,Even if you're traveling outside,,It's also pinching the time to go back to the hotel code word and uploading.,In the process of playing, what I thought about was the plot to be written today.。

Staying up late is the norm, and many authors choose to start coding words at night, make a cup of coffee or strong tea, and write it all night.

Stomach problems, heart palpitations, most of the time will still selectively ignore them, thinking that it is okay to sleep.

I have participated in some authors' gatherings and activities, except for some authors who are self-disciplined enough, have a regular life and exercise often, most of the authors are pot-bellied, with dark circles under their eyes, even if they are young, they do not have much youthful atmosphere.

Are they mournful? Not necessarily, because I often see them posting screenshots or book reviews of readers praising themselves in the circle of friends, and the smug appearance of the stinky fart can be felt through the screen.

The author's happiness is as simple as that.

Because my thoughts are a bit mixed, I write what I think.

In fact, I wrote so much, I went through my own experience, and I also told some stories in the circle, not to sell miserably, but to say to all dear readers: give the author a little more tolerance and encouragement, especially those who have just started and just begun to explore on this road.

Bad words hurt people, maybe you just said it casually, said it and forgot about it, but it can be a very big blow to an author.

If you don't write well, it's probably a lack of ability, because people with a bad attitude can't type out millions of long pieces one by one in front of the computer.

As long as it is not a matter of principle or position, as long as he can continue to write, he will definitely be able to improve.

Those who stay up late to code words may not be great, but they really shouldn't be treated violently.

Finally, may the night god in the lattice go all the way, and may all peers cherish their bodies and stay away from illness.
