New Year's Day Essay (Free)
After the alarm clock rang at seven o'clock in the morning, I sat up and was stunned for two seconds, only to remember that today was New Year's Day and I could rest for a few days, so I continued to crawl back into the bed and continue to sleep.
I slept until 12 o'clock at noon when I was woken up by a friend's call, got up to brush my teeth and wash my face, prepared lunch, and then played two games after a long absence, and then opened the writing software to prepare codewords.
Truth be told, since I started writing three years ago, I don't have much spare time to spare.
I used to play games, watch movies, or go out with friends to press the road, but since I started writing, I have rarely participated in these activities.
A friend recommended a game "The Elder Scrolls", and after the download was completed, I ate ash on the hard drive for a year, except for the first day I played for a while, and I haven't opened it since.
As for activities such as going out for an all-night party or clubbing, it has long been insulated.
I rarely drink alcohol, in addition to pharyngitis, my throat will be very uncomfortable after drinking, and the confusion of my mind after drinking is also an important reason for not being able to write.
In the past three years, I have hardly indulged in a carnival, and it seems that I will always be locked by an invisible chain, and I must rush home before ten o'clock and come to the computer to prepare for the update.
Of course, everyone's life is their own choice, and we shouldn't complain about anything, but sometimes, there are still some melancholy in our hearts.
Last night's New Year's Eve, friends made an appointment to go out to party, crowded for more than an hour in a crowded snack street, everyone wanted to go to the square to see the hot springs, and then party all night.
So I hesitated for a long time, and in the end, I was the only one who rushed home to update on the subway alone, and did not continue to walk with them.
Of course, to be honest, if there is no promise that I will come back in the evening for an update, I guess I really won't be back. A lot of the time. People always dig pits and bury themselves.
When I don't have anything particularly important, I rarely break my promises. Whether it's in life or online, at least try to do what you say.
Personality dictates.
Sometimes I think that if I can learn to break my word, then I might live a little easier.
Let's talk about the summary of the past year and the outlook for the new year.
Throughout 2015, I walked hard at the starting point. The collapse of "Zombies" made me understand my shortcomings. Without sufficient knowledge, it is tantamount to suicide to rashly write a novel with a social theme that requires a lot of knowledge and sufficient experience to support it.
The full text of "Zombies" is not very long, and a total of 600,000 words of the book can only be regarded as a beginning at the beginning, but when the book actually started with about 300,000 words, I was already stretched thin.
In the original plot, there was no too otherworldly power. My plan is to write a story about the arrival of the end of the world and the struggle of human beings in the wasteland from the perspective of the zombie Chu Donglin.
But the plot got out of control, making it go to irrepressible madness, and finally ended hastily.
So far. I still think that "Zombies" is the book I put the most effort into and the best book I have written.
As for "Daughter", although the results are countless times better than "Zombies", the importance in my heart will never be able to inspire "Zombies", after all, "Daughter" has not had much expectations for it from the beginning.
At that time, new books continued to be drafted, and things in life began to get busy, and I guess I didn't have so much time to devote to writing in the future, so I just fooled a beginning and threw it to the editor.
There is no planning, nothing is considered, the world view is empty, and the outline setting is not even thought about. It's just that I have always wanted to write about it before, but it is estimated that there is no market, so I haven't touched it, and I plan to write tens of thousands of words to finish. Settle a wish, and then completely close the pen and say goodbye to the online literature circle.
Even the lines are absurd spoofs, and they didn't take any effort to carve them at all, and they were thrown out without correcting the typos.
As a result, he unexpectedly succeeded, and the results were very good, so he continued to write.
A lot of life encounters. It's so amazing that it's unpredictable.
The book "Daughter" has been written so far, more than a million words have been written, and the things that should be explained are basically explained, according to common sense, the next should be a series of big plots that are more straightforward. It's impossible to stop without writing two or three million words.
Of course, that's what I planned to do at first.
The existence of the abyss, the existence of the main god, the existence of Zhao Yuanxin, and the existence of the traversers were originally grand settings that could have been written for two or three million words.
But to be honest, I'm tired.
The heart is tired.
2015 is the most special year of my life.
In the middle of the year, I tried to change the way I lived, changed the circle of daily contact, and shifted the focus of my life.
In the past, I could say that reality and the Internet were divided half, but now there is almost no intersection with the Internet except for novels, and more of the focus of my life has been shifted to reality.
I don't know if it's a good or bad change, but I've been busy since the middle of the year. It wasn't until the end of November that I was finally much more relaxed, no longer as busy day and night as before.
Then during the busiest period when I was at my busiest, the starting point began to crack down, and "Daughter" was blocked, and it was sealed very innocently.
To be honest, I've never written anything that is dead or H-smacked, and if it's safe, there's basically no safer book to start from than my book.
But "Daughter" was still blocked.
Not even my daughter, all the old books I had written before were sealed.
Whether it was a complete book, or a work of interest that was only a few tens of thousands of words, it was sealed, and at that time, looking at the entire starting point, I could hardly find any trace of proving that I was once active and existing.
The heart is tired.
After a long struggle with the editor and a lot of revisions, the book was finally released.
To be honest, I even had an impulse at the beginning, that is, I didn't care about it at all, and just left the online literature circle and stopped writing at all, anyway, no one can blame me, after all, it wasn't me who took the initiative to be a eunuch.
However, my friends in the book friend group ask me about the process of revision every day, and almost every day I log in online, readers have private chats or ask me in the group how long it will take for the book to be released. In the end, I was not thick-skinned enough, and I couldn't care about these readers who cared about me and the book, so I could only obediently admit to the starting point, and modify all the forbidden things according to their rules, and "Daughter" was released.
But because it has been banned for too long, when it is released again, the loss of readers is very serious.
Compared with before the closure, there were only more than 400 readers who were subscribing to the book, less than one-third of what it used to be.
I wanted to ask the editor for a few recommendations to recover the lost subscription, but I was rejected, and it was really chilling during that time.
In addition, my mother was hospitalized at the time, and I needed money for surgery at the beginning of the year, so I came up with the idea of changing jobs and running away. In any case, let's make a fortune to tide over the predicament first, the health of the elders in the family is the most important thing.
At that time, several websites came to contact me, and all kinds of tempting terms were opened, and to be honest, it was really tempting.
Today's subscription results are still half-dead, and the starting point has long been "unloved" for me, maybe I will continue to write this book until it is finished, or maybe I have to end it hastily for various reasons in the middle of the book...... Ha...... Who knows.
Now I can only promise that I will not give up on this book unless I have to, and will continue to write it. As for more things, I can't guarantee it.
Of course, if one day everyone suddenly finds that they can't find the book "Daughter" or the person "Changzhou Winter Horse", don't worry, I didn't completely disappear from the Internet.
As long as you look up, the stars of Sagittarius are shining in the night sky - haha...... Just kidding.
If you find that you can't find the person of Cheung Chau Dongma by then, then you can add the book friend group 2-6-0-7-1-8-3-1-2, I am active there.
Or keep an eye on Tieba, if things do come to that, I should post the latest news on Tieba.
Finally, I complain about some friends.,Obviously have the ability to subscribe but want to go to see piracy.,I really don't understand what you're thinking.。
A few previous experiments have probably figured out how many genuine readers are looking at pirated copies.
There are four or five hundred more subscriptions to anti-piracy chapters than non-piracy prevention, which means that at least four or five hundred readers who can subscribe just don't subscribe and want to see pirated copies.
I don't have much discrimination against pirated readers, as long as you don't run up to me after watching pirated copies, and say something like "I watch piracy for your own good" and "I see piracy for your publicity, so you have to thank me" and other brain-dead remarks, I don't care.
But such a huge number of genuine readers ran to see pirated copies, it really surprised me, I thought this number would be less, I originally thought that there would be more than a hundred, but now it seems that I think too much.
Well, in the end, I recommend a good book, my friend's "Writing the Spring and Autumn Period with a Sword", a very good book of comprehensive martial arts, just put on the shelves today, everyone go and contribute to the first order.
Such a good book, it would be a shame to miss it. (To be continued.) )
