A New Year's letter to a book friend

At 6:20 a.m., sitting in front of the computer, I had just finished reading a few days of content and looked through the group chat, and then I saw this event.

The requirements of the activity are to review the creation story of 2022, the most impressive reminder content, the interesting moments of interaction with book friends, New Year's greetings to readers and other related content.

Then the system will send an easter egg chapter, and readers can have a chance to draw a lottery by commenting and interacting in the easter egg chapter, and the highest I heard can draw 6666 coins.

Listening to the sound of the rain outside the window and lighting a cigarette, I began to think about what I had done in the past year.

As if there was nothing.

2022 is the year I will reach the age of 30, and it is also the year when I purely hit the streets.

At the beginning of the year, hit the streets.

Then I opened the vest and wrote a book, the results are good and has been upward, the first order is 2000, the average order is 1500, and I wrote all the way to more than 4000 average orders, and more than 2000 follow-up orders, this ratio is a good ratio, at this time the number of words is about 800,000 and close to 900,000 words, and my plot has only written less than one-third.

It should work this time, right?

It's no longer only a million words to finish, and the plot data hasn't collapsed at all, and it's still written all the way up from the low first order.

It seems that everything is going in a good direction.

Then, "over the line" was sent.

After that, I wrote this article about this vest and hit the street.

The reason for this is the same as the process in the last chapter, so I won't repeat it.

So, it was the end of the year.

Then I told the editor: Forget it, I want to write a book I like this time, so I will write it according to my own ideas, and I will recognize what it will be.

The editor asked me if I wanted to open a vest, so there was a lot of room for trial and error, and no one would know if I cut it silently, and many people did this.

I said forget it, this vest has been with me for five years from the beginning to now, no matter what happens, this is me, and whatever the result is also me.

To be honest, I regret it a little now that I think about it.

When the book was released, the readership applauded, saying that they had been waiting for me for a long time.

And then the first thing everybody did was bet on how many words I cut.

Well, I also gambled on it myself, and I said that I would guarantee a million words no matter how I said it, right? Maybe longer?

Everyone laughed and there was a peaceful atmosphere, so I laughed along.

Everything seemed to be fine after the book was posted.

Collections are constantly rising, and the first two rounds of recommendations in the same period have always been in the top three or even the top two.

Then the third round of PK failed.

Well, last year's starting point recommended revision, the PC side was very messy, but the first round on the APP was a popular serial, the second round of classified new books, the third round of classification strong push, and the fourth round of small editor recommendation.

If there is a fifth round, it will be after Sanjiang.

Each round of PK is a spelling catch-up.,That is, twenty-four hours of paid catch-up of the latest chapters.。

The editor can see the follow-up reading two days ago, so the recommendation is also arranged according to the follow-up reading two days ago.

Sanjiang watched Monday catch-up.

The first four rounds are recommended to watch Tuesday catch-up.

The third round asked for more than 800, and I was more than 700.

I looked backstage and collected 10,000.

Most of the books recommended by me at the same time were between 5000~8000, and they all made the cut.

Normally, the number of follow-ups will continue to grow, but the proportion of collections will slowly decrease.

In the first three rounds, the ratio of general collection to follow-up is between 4:1 and 7:1.

More than 7:1 means that there is no potential.

And I'm in a dozen to one ratio at this time.

The editor asked me if I wanted to cut it, because it didn't make sense to write it any longer.

yes, cut it.

Just like in the past year, cut it off, open a vest, no one knows it's me, and open a new book.

But just give up?

I'd like to give it a try.

If the recommended PK fails, there will be a chance of repechage in the first four rounds, that is, you can PK again in the next week.

I'm going to work with those author friends who are recommending to fight for the third round of recommendations.

I wanted to give it a try, and I didn't want to just give up.

So I sent a single chapter for me to follow-up, and everyone is really supportive, thank you very much.

The next week, PK was promoted.

I managed to get to the third round of points.

At this time, my chase is 1100 and my collection is 1W5.

But it doesn't matter, it's always good to advance.

Everything seems to be getting better.

Recommended tickets, monthly passes, rewards, and the number of investors, these are all growing, and the background collection is growing by four digits every day, and I am far ahead of the same period in terms of recommendations.

It seems so.

But my chase is 1300, and the collection is 30,000.

In the author group, everyone bragged to each other and spanked, and I said I sent it.

Everyone said that I was pretending to be modest again, no matter how you look at this data, I am rushing to order 5000 for the first time!

I laughed and laughed with everyone, but only I knew the actual situation.

So I started looking for questions.

There are many problems to list.

In fact, every book will have problems, such as pen names, anticipation, writing too much, and so on.

With grades, everything about you is right, and without grades, everything about you is wrong.

So, this time, most of my peers had the opportunity to Sanjiang.

I shouldn't have it.

Next week is the fourth round, and Monday's catch-up is the last chance.

But I know that there is not much chance, I am at least 600 miles away from Sanjiang, and more than 1200 miles away from the small speaker.

Next Friday should be not on the shelves of Sanjiang and then obscure, it was still the twenty-ninth day of the New Year, and it is estimated that not many people will read the book.

According to this follow-up reading, the first order should be around 6~800, which is the worst first order in the five years I have written the book.

But it doesn't matter, I've seen it.

It's hard to tell you that on my thirtieth birthday, I asked my parents to borrow money to pay off my mortgage because I didn't have a penny in my card.

My dad complained twice, and my mom didn't say anything.

I silently went back to the house and slept.

The next morning, I was woken up by a text message and they transferred me money.

I did cry, but they all went to work and didn't know.

Three years ago I wrote about twenty-seven years of nothing, and three years later it became thirty years of nothing.

Looking back on the past year, what has happened?

The hair fell out even more, the face was more haggard, the health was worse, the mortgage was still going to ask my parents for money, and the emotional development was a mess and there was no progress.

It's been a terrible year, what a shit year.

But people must never lose faith in the future.

I often write a sentence in my novels: "People who always care about the past can't move towards the future."

So I'm going to write this book, I'm going to write about the grades, even if it's a bad grade compared to my past self.

If you look at the background data, you won't be able to write it, and everyone says that you can stick to it if you don't get good grades.

But how many can really hold on?

So I decided to be an ostrich and never look at the background data again.

As long as I don't look, I don't know how bad the grades are!

As long as I write happily, there will always be readers who will like it, even if it is only a small part of the readers.

If the author writes unhappily, the reader can feel it.

So as long as you do your best, the reader can feel it.

I've always believed so.

The cigarette in my hand burned out, and I pressed it out in the ashtray.

Listening to the dripping rain outside the window, I clicked on the activity screen again.

I didn't create a story in 2022, it was a shit year, a year when I saw hope and then it was extinguished.

What's the most impressive reminder?

No.

A fun moment to interact with a book friend?

"Old Eunuch", "Definitely Cut Again", "I Can't Understand the Writing in the Clouds", "Blind Date Again", "Jiang Lang is Exhausted", "Trash", "Cut It", "Dead Eunuch".

New Year's greetings to readers and other related content?

Happy New Year to everyone.

When the word is typed here, I hesitate, should I send it out like this?

Because I remembered what I said the other day when I thought the reader was talking to me privately.

"Lethe, don't always look at those who spray you, look at those who support you, I will always support you! Come on! Don't be discouraged! You are the best and most down-to-earth author in my heart! ”

I went through the chapters and comments in the book again, and saw the comments that I rarely read in the past.

Looking back at the creation story of 2022?

And that's just the trough before takeoff! They have all fallen through the center of the earth, and the future will always continue to rise!

What's the most impressive reminder?

"Next chapter, next chapter, next chapter, next chapter, next chapter, next chapter????, next chapter

A fun moment to interact with a book friend?

"The taste of this blind date, at first glance, it is Ling!" "Come on!" "Update!" "Is there a possibility, in fact, the cowardly and lustful is Lethe yourself?" "What about the black long straight? Where's my black long straight? ”

New Year's greetings to readers:

The past year has not been easy for many people, whether they are students or office workers.

I was also very upset.

But the past is gone, and in 2023, I hope everyone can have a safe and upward future.

I'm not good at writing, and I don't know how to say nice New Year's wishes, so I can only say some true words from the bottom of my heart.

Oh yes, the system will automatically send it after I heard about the easter egg chapter, and then draw a lottery there, I don't know.

This is probably the only benefit I can give you besides writing a book (or a little girl).

That's it, I wish you all a happy new year~~
