Summarize in August, try more in September
August is coming to an end, so I will report to you on the results and the recent mentality.
The book was finished on July 10, and the word count was 196,000 at that time.
In the first 20 days of the month, the average order rose from 400 to 500.
Manuscript fee 1000 + 600 reward (there is a league leader in the new book period)
In the 30 days of the second month, the average is from 500-580 (as of press time), and the upward trend is worrying.
The second month's manuscript fee is estimated to be 1500 + 100 (tip).
New and high-end, what are the orders, the plot, they haven't collapsed, but the chase is too low.
Infinite streaming is like this, the choice of copies is always greater than the effort, and of course, the lack of strength is also one thing.
This is my first book on the shelves, I don't understand a lot of things, I feel ignorant and grow, there are experiences and lessons everywhere, although I have only written more than 400,000 words, but I have gained and improved a lot.
At present, the average booking increase is not large, which is not the main problem, but the 24-hour chase is very strong, and it has fallen directly to less than 100.
When I wrote the copy of the Three Kingdoms, although I didn't write it well, the average subscription was only more than 400, but there were 320+ in 24 follow-ups
The book friend group asked, and found that many people are raising books.
I don't have anything to say.
You write garbage yourself, and you don't allow others to raise books or skip subscriptions?
It doesn't make sense, right, it's my fault.
Probably looked for the reason.
The first is that the style of the dungeon is changeable, and the chivalrous style of the Water Margin dungeon has not continued.
I took it for granted that I wanted to show you different styles of copies, but I was wishful thinking, and basically the style of the first copy set the overall route of the book to death, because the readers you selected were based on the style of the first copy.
The second reason is a copy of A Chinese Ghost Story.,I'm connecting a lot of stories about Liaozhai.,And Liaozhai Homo,In addition to painting skin and A Chinese Ghost Story.,There's no particularly high popularity.,The charm of the same humanity lies in the interaction between the protagonist and the original character.,I didn't write this well.。
If you only write about a Chinese ghost story.,Starting from the second part of the world.,There's too little content.,I'm worried that 20 chapters will be written.,I can only add some chatting and fandom into it.。
Several authors said to me as an afterthought, chatting about this copy, whoever writes it will die, and the 3000+ boutique authors who first booked the beginning are no exception.
I think it's more that I didn't write it well, and the strength reason is the first, so I don't shirk it.
A few days ago, I was criticized by a book friend, saying, "What kind of garbage stuff is written, a supporting character has written several chapters, and the horror atmosphere is not scary at all." ”
There are a lot of trolls in the new book period, and many of them are pirated after they are put on the shelves, so I don't care, but I can't care less about the opinions of genuine subscription readers after they are put on the shelves.
I've been uncomfortable with this for several days, and I'm constantly reviewing it.
A criticism from this reader woke me up.
Knowing what the problem is, it's also a kind of progress.
That's why, the second month I didn't update well.
Bad grades, boring writing, a vicious circle.
It's all tears.
Tell me about my intentions.
I have an author exchange group, currently 90 people, there are many bigwigs in it, and there are a lot of high-quality products.
Hundreds of people like me are booked in the middle and lower classes.
Every month, when I post the manuscript fee, I am trembling, envious and jealous of the kind of character on the side.
Before, there were half of the seven-point authors, but now, many of them have gone to the outstation, and there are only more than 20 seven-point authors.
They made several comments in response to my question.
The first one, within 300, cut, do not cut to drink the northwest wind? (Cat station thousands of evenly ordered homo author opinions)
Second, if you have made great progress, gained a lot, and are sure, hurry up and open a new book, so as not to waste time; (Cat station million orders above the same author's opinion)
The third, this is your first book on the shelves, the results are much better than I was at the beginning, it is recommended to write 1 million words in the finished book, to give readers an explanation, and the other 700,000 words can be boiled for a limited exemption, and the average order is 1000+, although there is still not much money, from more than 400,000 words to 700,000 words, it will only take a month, and the storm will be renewed. (Seven points boutique old author opinions)
Fourth, the characteristics of the Heavenly Stream, that is, the copy was not selected well, and the grades plummeted, but the next copy can be saved after it is written, and it is recommended to write it to the next copy and take a look. (Another seven-point boutique old author's opinion)
I have considered all of the above.
After a dull day, I really wanted to finish writing this copy, but then a boutique old author comforted me and recovered a little bit.
My current situation is that although I have only written more than 400,000 words, I have made mistakes several times, and the gains are indeed great, and the next book has doubled my score, and I am somewhat sure.
I don't pursue any chicken soup for the soul like a million-word book, although there is a saying circulating in the author's street circles, "After a million words, the next book will take off!" ”
Of course, there are also those who have written 10 million words and will continue to hit the streets in the next book.
It's just a psychological comfort.
Therefore, I am very much in favor of the second opinion above.
Then, I also agree with the third and fourth comments.
My decision at the moment is...... Keep writing.
Wait for the next copy to see if the post-subscription has been restored, if the next copy continues to be not written, I will finish the fourth copy of the application, and it is estimated that there will be more than 700,000 words by then.
Zhutianliu, after the copy is written, it is not unfinished or anything, it can only be said that it is not perfect.
If the fourth copy has a slightly better score and is not too demanding, and more than 300 points (restored to the level of the Three Kingdoms) in 24 hours (back to the level of the Three Kingdoms), I will do it until 1 million words.
The first book on the shelves really doesn't want to leave a black spot.
Of course, if you don't stick to a million words, please think about the reality that the author also has to eat, and don't spray me.
Take a break, rest and start a new book.
At present, the mentality has adjusted.
So, next month, I'm going to try the violent change, with a guaranteed 6000+ per day, try 8000 to see, I'm not sure I can do it, I'm really not a hand speed player, otherwise I'll go to a certain Lucha to rotten money.
I owe you a chapter before.,100 monthly tickets are about to add a more chapter.,I took a day off.,I owe 2 chapters.,A total of 4 chapters.,It's not a big problem.。
Starting tomorrow, the violent update.,The chapters that are owed.,It'll be paid off next month.。
You don't have to go out of your way to keep accounts, I'll keep them anyway.
What about the fourth dungeon?
Since the first three copies have chosen the ancient style, then all the ancient style, everyone recommends it to me, popular copy + ancient style + oriental style, I think about it, if I don't find the right one, I'll write an original fairy or fantasy.
Hot-blooded, reckless simple copy all the way, I continue to try new styles.
No matter how bad it is, there is a copy of A Chinese Ghost Story, and there is no fear and the mentality of gaining and losing.
I've been writing very hard, but occasionally I go in the wrong direction, but the attitude of writing is still very correct, and everyone understands and understands.
Finally, thank you to the genuine readers who have always supported me.
Although there are less than 5,000 book friends on QQ, the voting enthusiasm is very high, accounting for one-third of the book, you are very powerful.
This month's performance is not good, the writing is bad, and the update is not powerful, so I won't ask for a monthly pass.
Finally, thank you all for the morning of August 29, 2020.
