New Year's testimonials and many others
First of all, as I said in the morning update, on the last day of 2015, I finally fulfilled the promise I made at the beginning of this month to stick to the renewal for a month.
Back then, at the beginning of July, I never believed that I could write for a month without breaking. If I had known I could have done it at that time, maybe I would have lasted longer.
Of course, you can't turn back time, and you can't assume the past. In any case, it is already a pleasure to be able to accomplish this goal.
If you can persist for one month, you can convince yourself to do the same for the next month, and if you can do it, when you want to give up, you will understand that not being able to persist is just an excuse.
If you persist in the next month, it will be the same in the next month, and it will be the same in the next month,......, but you will be able to persist in a year after 12 insistences.
In the past month, many times after returning home at ten o'clock at night, it is not that I have not thought about giving up.
For example, my book is completely unreadable, the collection is so pitiful, and there are very few clicks, what kind of effort is it to write?
Thoughts like these will always recur every day when I start sitting in front of the computer and coding words.
But think about the last day of last month, looking at the data in the author's background, I obviously persevered for a month, but because of the omission of the first day, I couldn't achieve the goal of continuous improvement for a month, and the regret in my heart is beyond words.
It's nothing more than that I don't want to leave regrets this month, so I just stick to it.
December 31st, updated 31 chapters, a total of 100,920 words, if you don't count the anticlimactic July, probably this is the month I wrote the most in my life.
100,000 words a month, if I used to be a reader, the book written by such an author would definitely be thrown off the shelf. It's lazy, it's so hard to write 3,000 words a day, and it's a fart book!
I used to scoff at such authors.
Now that I have stumbled to achieve this goal, I even have a feeling of joy in my heart, and if I knew about the past, I would probably despise myself. So uncompetitive!
Therefore, I understand more why some of the daily more 10,000-character writing was obviously very ordinary, and I still read it so energetically, because hard-working people are destined to have gains. The land cultivated by the author is a fertile soil, and even if you plant some crooked melons and cracked dates, you are destined to have a good harvest. And if you cultivate a barren land, even if you plant peaches, there will be no harvest.
Still, there is some joy as a novice author.
I knew that I had been able to change four chapters and 13,400 words a day, but at that time I was in a state of trepidation, because I didn't know how long I could last. And now I only have 3,000 words a day, but I am very relieved, because I know that I can persevere, and I can persevere until the distant future, maybe ten or twenty years from now.
This is the self-confidence that I have gained by being able to convince myself with reality after going through the test.
More than 100,000 a month, as a reader, I despise such authors; And as a writer, I am happy for myself.
However, I have worked so much overtime this month that I rarely read books, and I have time to sit in front of my computer and write stories for others. Sometimes, when I laugh at myself, "I sell salt and drink light soup", isn't it just me?
At the beginning, I was fascinated by reading books, and my mind was full of other people's stories, and after a long time, I felt that I could write, but later I wrote myself, but those wonderful stories became farther and farther away from me.
I can't write it myself, but I don't have time to read other people's wonderful stories.
Thinking about the original intention ten years ago, looking back now, I am really full of emotion but speechless, so I have to sigh.
After finishing the continuous update, I finished talking about 100,000 words, and when I took inventory just now, I found that the book had already written 500,000 words. Before that, my first draft novel was in the process of developing from 400,000 words to 500,000 words, and the novel had to be hastily shelved after 80,000 words were published, because this novel was what I had always wanted to publish as a debut novel, and the hole in that novel had to be filled in later.
Six years ago, when I was still in college, I had already begun to conceive the story of this novel.
At that time, I was very ambitious, and in order to give a general overview of my more than 20 novel ideas, I came up with the idea of simply writing a novel to start all the novels.
So the first half of the name of this novel was actually given ten years ago, "Past Life" is a series, and this novel is just a general outline I want to write for my own novel series.
I was so ambitious at the time, how many words did I think I could write?
Hmm, 300,000 should be about the same.
Thinking about it later, where is there anyone in a 300,000-word novel now! Let's just 500,000.
Later, I became even more ambitious, and I wanted to include another series that I had conceived, and I just bragged that I didn't have to write drafts or taxes, and a million words was enough.
Now, looking at the progress of writing 500,000 words, one million words can't be covered at all, and about two million words will do.
I feel that reality gives people much greater ambition than the limit of one's own fantasy. It's like Eason Chan's lyrics, "Be pushed and walk, follow the flow of life".
Therefore, if 500,000 words were told to me in the past, I would only be amazed and proud, but now I can only smile bitterly. Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and based on this calculation, 500,000 words is just a novel, compared to a million-word novel, it is just on the road. And my "Half Ninety" should be about a year from now, when the book is coming to an end, when maybe I can raise my arms and shout "It's finally halfway through!" ”
Now that the goal of 500,000 words has been accomplished, look at the progress of the story, and encourage yourself after thinking about it, "You are reluctant!" ”
Of course, it was only two months of perseverance, but I still gained a lot.
I originally thought that at my current level, it might take about seven or eight hundred thousand words before anyone would pay attention to it, and the collections, recommendations, popularity, and clicks would be less pitiful and out of single digits.
However, the reality gave me a reward that greatly exceeded my expectations, and at the end of this month, the collection had exceeded half a hundred, and a collection of 10,000 words was much better than I had thought at the beginning.
Moreover, I am ready for this book to be deserted and completely unattended from the beginning to the end, and I am ready to play a single machine for a year or two, but I didn't expect that since last month, there have been book friends in the book review area, who have been giving me attention and support, which really surprised me.
Thank you, this name is "TQhsg, Yui (??。??)" Thank you.
After the above three testimonials, it is finally time to talk about the New Year's testimonials.
Towards the end, I started to get to the point, which was all a bad problem that I was used to when I was used to writing book reviews at the beginning.
New Year's speeches are all routines that summarize the past and look forward to the future.
So according to the routine, I'll look forward to the future first, in fact, next year's hope is that I hope I can insist on updating, and when I write a testimonial next year, the title is the end of the testimonial.
As an otaku, he doesn't fall in love, and he doesn't have any ambition after changing jobs this year, and even the habit of playing games and chasing dramas has gradually faded from life since he started writing. Even the only thing that has something to do with the game this year is to look at TI5.,And this year's summer.、Autumn and the next winter.,It's all out of my chance.。 All year round, it turned out that only the Overlord, Charlotte and the hypocritical mask were all half-lost and could not be picked up again.
It would be like this, without him, there is a sense of urgency of time.
Whether it's a game or an anime, I can't be entertained as much as I used to, and I feel guilty every time I pick it up.
Isn't it time for codewords? Since you're so idle, why don't you go to codewords? It's like a curse.
But the most important thing is that the joy that codewords bring me is no longer comparable to games and anime. In this way, in fact, the biggest gain is that it should be here, and it is enough to be able to be happy for a period of time every day.
Looking to the future, all I can think of is the word writing, writing more, writing better. If you have time, it is better to be able to go back and make up for some of the previous big mistakes.
Finally, it is a summary of the past.
In the past year, I quit my job because of writing, and then I had to join the company because of writing, and I was unwilling, angry, and remorseful, and now everything has finally subsided, and what I was striving for at the beginning of this year has been realized, but the situation is basically the same as at the beginning of the year.
Life is like drawing a circle.
But it is not perfect, because it is not satisfied; However, it has not returned to the starting point.
The beginning of a year is not the beginning, and the end of the year is not the end. We seem to repeat reincarnation year after year, spending one after another three hundred and sixty-five days, but life has always been flowing down the long river of time, unable to stop and unable to turn back, unknown ahead, helpless behind.
Summing up the past, it's nothing more than a sentence.
A year has passed, and a year has come again, but just go on.
Thank you for my struggles, stupidity, giving up, hard work this year, and thank you all for supporting me.
This year is really the best year in the past 125 years.
Hopefully that will continue next year.
