I received a good news today (this article should be a new day), the book has finally exceeded 3,000 and won the boutique badge.

From uploading the first chapter on 1/13/21 to 4/16/23, two years and three months, 1.58 million words, excellent.

To be honest, in fact, anyone who knows a little about the online literature industry can see that this is not a good result, and it is quite bad.

Now the generally better books, four or five hundred thousand words are high-quality, write faster, and it will be updated to my word count in less than a year, and my book is not signed until the fourth volume, and more than 500,000 words have been written, which is why everyone sees how the fourth volume is separated from the middle of a volume, it is because of the inverted V on the shelves, and the new VIP volume added.

Because the best publicity period of a book has passed when the contract is signed, and Lao Sao has written these words for more than two years, the update can be imagined, so it is difficult to get a recommendation, at first it was only three or four hundred yuan per month, and this situation lasted for nearly a year, of course, Lao Sao also has his own job, and his income is okay, so he is not very down.

Sometimes I wonder, this book is not profitable, and it is tiring to write, so why should I keep writing?

After all, I started writing this book with the intention of making money.

On Zhihu's Q&A platform, every day there are newcomers to online literature asking how their writings are, and there is such a question in a large number of related posts-

"If you don't sign a contract at the starting point of 220,000 words, is there still a possibility of a turnaround?" 》

I clicked on it just now, and I found a new answer, which is actually not new, it was an answer from a year ago, but I only see it now.

After reading a chapter, the respondent began a long reply, with fierce words, after a professional analysis, the summary is that the subject author is very stupid, obviously there is a lighter way, but he chose the stupid way of moving mountains, wasting time and effort, paranoid and self-moved, and the answer frantically output a writing theory that conforms to the style of today's online literature.

I agree with the respondent and support him, but I still click a downward disagree button under his answer, not why, because I am the author of the subject who posted the question.

Hehe, this is very skinny~

In this regard, I also replied below -

"You call me stupid, I understand, but since when will the spirit of the foolish man move mountains be used as a negative teaching material?"

Sao is not a fool, and I don't think what this friend said is wrong, I'm just a simple head iron.

If self-touching can resonate with others, then is this still called self-moving? Isn't that a skill?

Sao Sao does have a big flaw in his character, and it's not that he doesn't know how to be flexible, it's because he has been flexible too much in reality, and this time he wants to hold on for a while, hold on for a while.

Honestly, I think a person who has never insisted on something......

That would be a pity.

And what I insist on may be creation, to be sure, it is to insist on a correct but outdated creative concept, and to put it more narrowly, it may be this book.

So, in reality, the sleek and mellow, kind old man decided to become a paranoid, narrow-minded, conceited, and grudgeful online creator on the Internet.

All of these became the best motivation for me to finish this book in the early days.

They are so important, just like "holding grudges", many friends in the group know that when the first volume of this book was written, I tried to contact an editor, and someone else turned two chapters and threw a few sentences-

"You create such an annoying heroine, how can readers love it, I'll thank her, let the male protagonist go."

This is said to be lukewarm.

"So why is it such an incompetent male protagonist? Does anyone really like this kind of character?"

This is said to be the first volume of He Natural.

"So the female protagonist is not likable, and the male protagonist is not likable, and you write from God's perspective throughout the whole process?"

This is to say two characters as well as mine.

At that time, I read these few sentences, and I was scolded directly, but in the reply, I still had to maintain my cultivation and say that I was taught.

After graduating from Sao, I rarely heard such derogatory words from people in the field of writing and writing, because it would in turn make me question your professional ability and aesthetic level, which is the "conceit" I mentioned above.

This "conceit" comes from my own professional knowledge.

Respecting the profession, but not blindly following the profession, this is the principle that I have always admired.

I can tell the difference between bad words and advice.

I'm a donkey.,It's OK for everyone to talk well.,But if you want to point me like this.,If you want to judge my whole book from the perspective of only reading a few chapters.,Then don't blame me for being a rebellious.,He Tianran is the kind of person who encounters a big math problem and can really solve it for you when he's forced to be anxious.,I'm forced to be anxious.,Can you write those protagonists who are disgusted by the editor's mouth.,Write it to people's liking?

I'm head-ironed, and I want to give it a try.

So,These words of the editor made me hold a grudge for a long time.,Sao is a newcomer to online literature.,It's a mere LV1 little-known little author.,That's right.,But I'm just not convinced.,Everyone reads online articles.,This mentality is not difficult to understand, right?

I thought to myself at the time, okay, you beep for me to wait, time, mental energy is wasted, I will knock to the end, if this book hits the street, I will admit it myself, but if this book can get up, you wait for Lao Tzu, thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, friends know this sentence, right?

Time came a year and a half later.

One day, Sao Sao was fortunate to have the help of three powerful people from outside the world, and the collection of book friends and book friends worked together to pass on their merits and support them, so Wen Liang, Cao Aiqing, He Tianran, and Jiang Xixi The four characters each received a silver blessing and climbed to the first place on their role star list that week!

Lao Sao got this adventure, and his Taoism soared, so he immediately took the screenshot sent by the group friends, and directly clicked on the editor's avatar and threw the screenshot over.

Soon, a reply came from the other side:

"Keep it up, there is no formula for writing......"

I thought to myself, hey, why is there no definite formula now?

I looked at it, and my heart was ouchy, really, specially, wonderfully, cool!

I know that there are hundreds of high-quality authors under others, and there is really no shortage of books with such achievements as me, not to mention that this book was not a boutique at the time, but this can't stop me from being happy, what do you think about it, anyway, Lao Tzu relies on his own ability, his own profession, and his own pen, to give you back, those characters that you dislike, some people like them, and some people spend real money for them, and they hit back the seemingly professional evaluations at that time!

That day, it was really happy.

There are many off-the-books stories about this book, such as the fact that at the beginning, a book friend helped me push a book on a forum, and was criticized as a green text by some readers who liked "real" too much, and I was also framed for the fact that the book friend who helped me push the book was my vest trumpet.

I think anyone who has read this book knows this in their hearts.

Lao Sao is paranoid, I don't like others to teach me to write books, there is a kind of, you want me to write like this, I don't feel conscious, I always feel that the idea I think of is the best, and the things that are written are good-looking, and even in the water chapter, I am thinking about it, this chapter is too vegetable, this sugar is too greasy, and the knife is not painful enough, so I simply don't send it, and I can break it directly.

On this aspect, Lao Sao is a bit arrogant and arrogant, of course, whether there is talent or not, this does not count, I think I have it.

On the other hand, Lao Sao is also very philistine, you ask me if I want to make money, I must want to, but I can't kneel, I don't want to please anyone, so I make money, and even I want you to please me in turn......

You say it's abominable?

Of course, what's even more odious is that the sao thinks of himself as high, and he still has a bit of pursuit, and he refuses to be in cahoots with ordinary goods, so this year, people stand up and write on the street, and their careers are still so high or low.

Two words, deserved.

If you understand too much truth, people will live a very screwed life, and you feel that you are living a transparent life, but in fact, it is nothing more than compromising on some things.

I remember that during the Chinese New Year, I asked my current editor, Jun Bai, if I should continue to write this book? At that time, the results were given by four silvers, and the results were slightly better.

He didn't give me a very clear answer.,I guess I'm also numb.,Every time I want to recommend me.,I break off every time.,So that now it's only been recommended twice.,And the effect is not very good.,This book is still a little niche.,Not suitable for the PK system.。

But he didn't respond, and when I asked the question, I already had the answer in my mind.

At that time, I remember that my collection was more than 60,000, the monthly ticket list was about 230, and I flipped through the fifty books behind me, all of which were excellent without exception.

I thought to myself, why am I not a boutique, so I am unhappy again, this is called a seat or not, just because I habitually break off

In this way, the boutique badge became a knot in my heart that kept me writing.

It's more of a ...... Concrete recognition, let your efforts in the past two years get an official recognition.

If this book is four or five hundred thousand words to get this achievement, then I may not take this thing so seriously, after all, many so-called high-quality products, ten thousand orders, in my small street view, it is just like that.

It doesn't have much to do with money or income, I value it, just because it's called "boutique", and I feel that my thing is qualified to take one, and that's it.

That's right, it's so middle and arrogant, good is good, bad is bad, what kind of big-tailed wolf is pretending to be on the Internet, so it's not modest, it's boring.

In the past, it was not enough to boast, but now there is no end to debauchery.

Although Sao Sao has not yet achieved the following two sentences, he can receive this recognition, and he feels that the story he wrote was not written in vain.

Thank you for your love of this book, and I am very grateful to the friends who subscribed and rewarded this book, or that sentence, without your support, Saocha, I, a hanging person, would not have this persistence.

Lao Sao told a story, but there was no audience, everything was in vain, so the honor of boutique was given by you.

Thank you, thank you!

By the way, then again, do you think that the author who asked the question on Zhihu and was evaluated as a stupid person, has his book been overturned?

I don't think so, and now this achievement is not worthy of his book, but the readers who like that book are worthy of all his efforts!

Finally, let's go back to the beginning.

Guys, if you think my story is okay, the work is good, remember to give a reward, there is money to support the money field, there is no money to support the people, after all-

The article is valuable~
