A New Year's letter to a book friend

First of all, I wish you all a happy new year and all your wishes come true!

Thank you all for reading this book, even though it's just a seedling now.

Last year (2022), in the first half of the year, I finished "Getting Rich from 1978" and began to conceive a new book. Although "Get Rich" ended in a bit of a hurry, and there was a suspicion of unfinished, I just didn't want to write it, and I really wanted to open a new book, but I didn't expect two eunuchs to be born at once.

The first book, "Back to the Old Time of the Nineties", was written for 200,000 words, and I had been thinking about this book for a long time, and I wanted to start writing it before writing "Getting Rich from 1978", but at the suggestion of the editor, I wrote the book "Get Rich" first.

However, the first draft of this "Old Times" was rejected for the editor's reason: it was written too socially, not lighthearted and enjoyable enough, and such books are not popular in the market now.

I'll admit the editor was right, but I'd love to write that.

The '90s was a time of mixed fish and dragons and reckless heroes, and I really wanted to write about that feeling.

After several drafts, the book was issued, and sure enough, the editor said that it was successful, and there was no PK in the first round of recommendation, and there was no recommendation later.

So I chose the eunuch.

Now that I think about it, I really regret it, and I should have continued to write, after all, there are still some readers who encourage me.

I'm older, and I'm too embarrassed to say it here, (laughs). There are some books that I have experienced, or seen or heard, and I would love to write about.

It's a pity that it is impossible to write a similar book after the eunuch.

The next one is a sci-fi book about cyber "Group Wear Cyber: We Have a Chat Group". It's not about following the trend, I'm interested in science fiction, and I wrote science fiction in my first book (that was a long, long time ago, ha). I'm interested in cyberpunk and other genres.

However, it turns out that I am not writing science fiction material, and finally, at the suggestion of the editor, I returned to the urban themes I am more familiar with, this time writing entertainment.

It was discussed and revised with the editor for nearly ten drafts before it was finally sent. Here I would like to thank the editor for ink painting, I am not a big god, not even a small god, just a street, but he is still very patient to help me revise the manuscript and put forward many good opinions and suggestions.

I had never written an entertainment novel, but this was the first time, and I wanted to write something different, so I gave up my usual student youth and started writing about middle-aged people, writing about their daily lives.

The book has been published for more than 60,000 words, and there are those who give encouragement and praise, of course, there are more criticisms, the most important thing is to complain about why the company doesn't give copyright, and the protagonist doesn't resign and go alone, I'll explain it here.

The protagonist turned out to be a star who traveled to the ordinary world, and his life was not poor, so he looked at things such as money lightly, and paid more attention to family and friendship.

Wu Lan gave a lot of help to the original Yu Dongqing, so the current Yu Dongqing is grateful. After all, according to the setting in the article, Yu Dongqing in the two time and space had the same experience when he went to college, including friends and relatives, but they developed differently after graduation.

Therefore, Yu Dongqing didn't say much about copyright at first, it was an idea of repaying his gratitude. Of course, in the near future, he will definitely quit his job and go it alone, which has been repeatedly explained in the article.

This is my idea, maybe some readers don't buy it, but the setting is so can't be changed, I just hope I don't like this, you can skip over and watch the back.

In a word, this book will definitely be finished, even if the results are not satisfactory, or I'm really sorry for the patient guidance of ink and water.

Of course, I'll try to write it well.

That's all I have written, I wish all book friends a happy and happy 2023 and good luck!
