Now that the book is over, it's time to wrap it up.

After making this decision and coding this title, I looked back and found that the process was even more exciting than the content of the book. Hehe.

It has been six years since I signed my first fantasy book at the starting point in 10 years, and it has been six years since May 16, and I have been writing a lot of books intermittently in the past six years, with a cumulative number of millions of words, but I have always been separated from the expectation of writing a fire book when I first entered the industry.

In the past six years, although I have never succeeded in writing a book, I still have my own opinions on the current situation of the starting point. In my eyes, there are three main starting points:

First, the author base is getting bigger and bigger, and it's getting harder and harder for newcomers to get ahead;

Second, it is also an indisputable fact that the PC side is gradually declining, and the god-making ability is gradually giving way to the wireless side;

Third, the vast majority of readers on the PC side only pay attention to the great gods and old books, and only a small number of readers with new tastes will pay attention to the new books of new authors.

The first two status quo is unavoidable and unchangeable for any newcomer, and only the third one is the help of newcomers to become gods, so I have been gradually studying the new readers and their tastes since a year or two ago. However, I soon found that at least 60% of the readers in this part of the base are not seeking novelty, but seeking strangeness. Generally, works that cater too much to their tastes are difficult to become a fire book with a large audience on the wireless side.

The two facts that stand in front of me are, first, that I don't want to write weird books to cater to them, and secondly, I can't write weird books because of the traditional way. So I thought about it and came up with a compromise solution, that is, I hope that through many attempts, I can find a suitable fit between the mainstream readers on the wireless side and the new readers on the PC side, so that the book can not only open the hearts of new readers, grow up with their support, but also be accepted by the vast majority of readers on the wireless side after growing up.

In fact, that's what I did. It's a pity that the new readers are even more 'cunning' than I thought, and they don't eat me at all. And without their support, as a newcomer who does not have thousands of old books as a background, it is even difficult for me to push them all the way to the shelves. (It's sad, six years have passed, and I'm an old man in the online literature circle, but I'm still a newcomer in the eyes of readers and editors.) ）

After many attempts, I eventually got tired. Decided to abandon the idea of catering to new readers and find a different path, skipping them and taking another path.

With this decision in mind, the successful promotion of Obico's new book at the beginning of the year gave me inspiration.

That's right, the starting point wireless terminal can buy a monthly pass through a red envelope! and the new book monthly ticket list is a very good publicity opportunity.

So with such a 'bad' head, I began to save money by frugality. To be honest, as a newly graduated moonlight clan, I need money for everything, and it is very painful to save money at this time.

I finally saved 1800 yuan, I think it's almost enough, and if I save again, and then save the money that should be used for entertainment, I will be out of touch with friends and even society, people are social animals that survive in interpersonal communication, and detachment from society will affect future development, which is really too expensive. I can't afford it.

In my memory, if the new book monthly ticket list on the homepage of the starting point is only hung at the end of the list, four or five hundred monthly passes are basically enough, and the monthly pass of five yuan in red envelopes at the starting point can buy more than 300 monthly passes of almost 400 for more than 1,800 yuan. My requirements are not high, as long as I can stay on the list for half a month and do enough advertising. Readers who follow the monthly ticket list have a high subscription rate.

While saving money, I wrote a new book at the beginning, which is this fantasy, signed for the current editor-in-charge Kirin, fortunately it passed once, so I was overjoyed to send the book, and it was just mid to late March, I estimated that if everything went well, it would be on the shelves by the beginning of May, that is, on the first of this month. This is the best time, just enough for me to send monthly pass red envelopes to help promote the list. In this way, I can bypass the new readers, so that with the help of the readers who pay attention to the monthly ticket list, I can first get a 1,000 average score, at least a little little income to support me to persevere, and then slowly develop. To be honest, even though I've always been on the streets, I've always been very confident in each of my books, and I think it's okay to sell more than 3,000 high-quality books with good publicity.

However, people are not as good as heaven, I thought everything too simply, and soon the first thing I didn't expect happened since the opening of this book - due to the large amount of contracted editing business, it took two weeks to successfully sign the contract.

This delayed March, so the rest of April was not enough to survive until the beginning of May. If it hits the shelves in mid-May, my plan will be in vain. So I pressed the contract and didn't send it out until I thought it would go well, and I was very hopeful that it would be released in early June.

Then, as I expected, after the contract was changed, the first recommendation came soon after.

I felt that everything was on the right track, so I went to pay attention to the monthly ticket list at the end of April, and after taking a look, it was a bolt from the blue, stupid. The bottom of the list also needs a thousand votes, what the hell!

Maybe it's a more competitive relationship this month. It will be fine next month. I was lucky enough to wait until May 1st to pay attention to the monthly ticket list of new books, and on May 1st, the first day of this month, there were 500 votes for the books at the end of the list. This means that I put 1,800 yuan into it, and I may not even be on the list for a day. It seems that others are also playing the same calculation as me, and they started before me!

What kind of advertising can I do if I can't make the list! I was stupid at the time!

At the same time, what made me stupid was that last week this book was the first recommendation, and the second week, which is the week I regret not to recommend!

In my experience, this means that it is possible that the book was abandoned by the editor. I was depressed and sad.

At five o'clock in the afternoon on Friday last week, I opened the author's backstage and looked at the mailbox without a new station, and my head was blank.

I admit that since late April, after losing hope in the monthly ticket list of new books, I had the idea of initiating a red envelope of recommendation tickets to brush up on the new book list of new authors, and then with the help of the recommendations given by the editors, the book will continue to stay on the list of new authors, and the effectiveness of the list of new authors will in turn feedback the recommendations given by the editors, so that the good results of the two mutual help will jointly promote the next or even the next recommendation.

To put it simply, it is to re-follow the old path of pushing it on the shelves.

However, the competition for the new book list of new authors is very fierce, and if there is no big recommendation as a help, even if I use the red envelope of recommendation votes to swipe the list, I will soon be squeezed down. So when will there be a big recommendation?

According to my experience, at the starting point, every book that can be strongly recommended on the shelves is first made with two small recommendations, and then one or two bookshelves, big recommendations such as Sanjiang and then forced on the shelves.

Therefore, my decision after the change was after the third week, after the big recommendation, I took advantage of the opportunity of the new book list for a week to send red envelopes of recommendation votes, brushed the list, hoping to have a good result and push it on the shelves, and then there was a thousand or so or seven or eight hundred as the beginning to support me to persevere.

However, the second week, when I thought there would be a small recommendation, there was no recommendation. Not to mention the big recommendation for the third week.

I thought, "It's over, it's all!"

I sat in front of the computer with a blank head, sadly recalling the six years I had set foot in the online literature circle, and sadly found that this was only a high price to pay, and there was no half-harvest in the past six years!

These six years were supposed to be the best of years, and what did I do?

When others talk about girlfriends, I am in code words, others are in code words when they are in graduate school entrance examinations, others are studying professional knowledge, I am in code words, others participate in social activities, and actively dissolve in society, I am still code words; others

What do I get?

Some classmates are happily married, but I haven't even held the girl's hand, some classmates have been promoted, some classmates have received a raise, and none of them are me

Maybe when I see this, some friends will persuade me to give up. Thank you very much, but I hope you will not be persuaded. One day, I will quit online and fade out of the world, but not now!

I have long found out that this path is wrong, and I would like to advise my friends who have supported me here not to take chances and repeat the mistakes of the past and follow my old path. I advise you so, but I myself am not yet ready to retreat from the rapids.

Because it's been six years! After six years of dedication, I don't even have a book that has made money for me and proved its value, and I haven't gotten anything!

If I quit like this, I can't explain it to myself!

I'm paying too much, but I don't know how to retreat!

I'm going to have to write a book that can be booked for 3,000 times! Perhaps, then it was time for me to quit. It's time to quit too.

Dear friends, if you also want to step forward from scratch and plunge into the online literature circle, and still want to work full-time, why don't you listen to my voice in the online literature circle for six years:

After going through so many twists and turns, even if I become a god and a supreme god one day, I will definitely not work full-time.

Even if I can earn tens of millions of dollars a month, a book is enough for me to eat for a lifetime, and I won't be full-time!

Because the online article is more cruel than the entertainment industry, it is basically similar to the situation of the model industry, and it is a bowl of youth rice that is completely eaten. Even if you've been popular, popular, and burning, it's hard to escape the fate of being abandoned by mainstream readers in the end.

Once the book you write can't be popular, even if you are worth a lot of money, if you write tepid books full-time and all your life, is it meaningless?

To live, a person should still find a meaningful job and do something meaningful

Back to business!

Friday was sad all night, and after trying to code out three chapters during the Saturday day, I went back to my hometown to relax.

When I was distracted, I was thinking about the question of whether I should continue to open a new book or continue to hold on to the book that had been abandoned by the editors.

In this dilemma, there are three reasons why I want to keep going:

First, there are readers who like this book, and they should give readers an explanation!

Second, fantasy is generally popular in the later stage, and if you stick to it, it will also have the possibility of becoming popular!

The third and most important thing is that I'm tired, tired. I just want to be able to finish a book well.

For these three reasons, I decided that if I could see more than 10 readers per day during May Day after I went live, I would continue to do so.

So when I was free on Wednesday morning, I rushed to the online to count the number of voters, but the online didn't have time to count, just glanced at the book review area, and I was chilled.

I didn't take care of the book review area for a few days, and the book review area was a mess. That's not all, there are still people who abuse and make personal attacks in the book review area. I just felt very cold at the time, and I didn't get anything for my hard work, only brainless abuse

I went to the editor again to find out if my book had been abandoned. Actually, because of my mood, I have already decided to open a new book.

On Q, I sent a message to the editor in charge to inquire, and the editor in charge quickly replied to me. It is not that the book was abandoned, but that there was an anomaly in the data of the book last week, which needs to be left for observation.

I had the feeling of a dog in the middle of the day.

Because last Tuesday, it seems that yes, a friend sent me two recommendations and ordinary collection red envelopes at seven o'clock in the morning, but the starting point system convulsed that others can only collect and recommend, but can not receive starting coins. Hundreds of people have followed suit, and the number has risen by hundreds

When I found out about this, I didn't care, and I was even a little happy. I thought I was lucky.,Who knew that the PC side had fallen to Si.,A fantasy classification is forcefully pushed.,On the basis of the original effectiveness, even a few hundred more collections can't afford it.。

Although I learned from the editor in charge that it wasn't the relationship that the book was abandoned, I still didn't stick to it. Of course, the reasons for this are that those festivals have nothing to do and scold unqualified readers who hurt my heart, and there are also that I am not optimistic about the future of this book.

The book misses the golden years of its growth and development.

Next week is the last week of this book, the new author signs the new book list, even if there is a recommendation, as long as it is not a big recommendation such as Sanjiang, the bookshelf and a maximum of six frequencies, etc., I will soon be squeezed off the list by brushing the red envelope of the recommendation ticket. Small referrals are simply not enough to sustain. And I'm not like some local tyrant authors, who have so much money that they directly brush the recommendation list.

It's not that I don't have confidence in the book, but this book is the most difficult fantasy genre to get out of. It's been a long time since a newcomer has been able to come out.

As you know, the competition in the fantasy category is extremely fierce, and only a dozen or twenty of a thousand new books may be pushed on the shelves. Among the 20 books that were forced on the shelves, at least 15 or more belonged to old authors or local tyrant authors who had thousands of high-end books as foreshadowing. This is not an exaggeration, just go to the starting point fantasy area and take a look

It can be said that since I decided to write this book, too many unexpected things have happened during the period, so that I messed up my plans and inches, and as a newly graduated moonlight clan, some risks that can be resolved with money are finally due to lack of money, so I can only grit my teeth and bear it.

Tomorrow is Friday again, a station short notice recommended day. The most surprising thing is to have a big recommendation, but this is a dream, the calmest thing is that there is no recommendation, then I should also prepare a new book, and the most painful thing is to make a small recommendation, because then I know that there is no hope of pushing it on the shelves, and I can only continue to repay the editor's recommendation As for the specific result, Friday, that is, tomorrow after five o'clock in the afternoon, I will send a single chapter to announce it.

Actually, in order to prevent suffering, I also have a plan for this:

First of all, I have a time code word on Wednesday, but there is no code word; then, for the sake of insurance, I will send this summary that has been typed out during the day today, and send it again at one o'clock tomorrow morning, causing the established fact that the Thursday update will be interrupted; and finally it is to wait quietly

This will probably be the only time since the book was first successfully realized. Hahahahaha let me laugh for a while, laugh out of tears, let me wipe it
