Happy New Year, handsome people!

Last night, I stayed up all night until more than six o'clock in the morning, and I wrote the finale in one go.

When I typed down the last character, I was relieved not to be disappointed at the end of the previous book...... But it's done!

The last book ended with more than 600,000 words, and this book has written nearly 1.8 million words, which is not a lot of words, but it is a big breakthrough for me.

In fact, the original plan was to write more than 2 million words, but the grades declined in the later stage, there were no recommendations, there were no new readers, and the manuscript fee was getting lower and lower month by month, which was no longer enough to maintain life.

But my work ethic that is not commensurate with my status as a street fighter makes me unable to be a eunuch.

I could only pick up the pace appropriately.

The decline in grades is a very dampening thing for creative passion.

Updating a chapter every day will drop the order, which will make you think "as long as I don't update the order, it won't drop".

The negative growth of the collection every day will make you feel that "my book is completely cold".

I can't blame others for the decline in my grades, I only blame myself for not writing well enough.

The longer it is, the more difficult it is to write, every word written in the front is restricting the later text, and the more you write in the later stage, the more you feel like walking a tightrope.

In everyone's opinion, the back of this book is not as good as the front, and there are fewer and fewer updates...... The more the dog author writes, the worse it gets, and the lazier it gets.

In my opinion, I have 4,000 words a day in the later period, which is more difficult to write than when I was 10,000 a day in the early stage, and there are fewer and fewer people who can read it when I write it.

Therefore, I was also very tormented in the later stage of writing, and I also had to face the financial pressure caused by the decline in manuscript fees.

I update a chapter of 4,000 words every day, the number of subscribers is less than 100, and the manuscript fee is less than 10 yuan, so I don't want to tell you that I have no money to pay off next month's mortgage.

Saying that these are not miserable sales, there is one thing to say, and the manuscript fee is acceptable when it is recommended in the middle of a few months.

After all, I also relied on this book to move from a first-level author to a fourth-level author.

Although the later codewords are tormented, fortunately, they are finally written.

Regardless of whether everyone is satisfied with this outcome or not, in short, I am not perfunctory, if anyone thinks it is bad, it must be a problem of my ability, not a problem of attitude.

The book was issued on February 15, 2023 and ended on January 1, 2024, taking a total of ten and a half months.

Counting the time for preliminary preparation, it can be said that this book is the brainchild of my whole year in 2023.

At first, I had high hopes for this book, thinking that the last masterpiece was not easy, and I always had too much confidence and too little self-knowledge.

But when I submitted the manuscript, I recognized the reality, and even the old editor of my last book never gave me a manuscript......

I submitted several editors in succession, and all of them were rejected, which made me doubt at the time that maybe I did write poorly at the beginning.

As soon as people start to doubt themselves, they will think that I have already started to revise the draft, and I am going to get a popular attribute panel or something for the beginning.

Fortunately, I only changed half a chapter, and I received a reply from the last editor I voted, Eggplant, saying that I could sign a contract.

So I deleted the content I had just revised and sent the book as it was.

Writing this book is a bit of a "last stand" for me.

In the past few years, everything has not gone well, I have to spend money everywhere, and my income has plummeted since the beginning of 2022, and I gritted my teeth for a year and was in debt.

After 23 years, there was still no sign of recovery, so I had to give up my job in April and return to my hometown to live, so that I could at least save a sum of rent.

My wife and I were back home with a lot of debt, no job, no savings, and the only card I had in my hand was the book.

A book that has been on the shelves for the first month, the first order is only 220, and I don't know how much the manuscript fee is.

This is our only source of income.

Fortunately, although this book didn't make me rich, it didn't starve me to death either.

Thank you to all the parents, thank you for this platform, and thank you for letting me have food in 2023.

……

Now let's talk about the new book.

The theme of the new book has been determined to be Xianxia.

Easy to, anti-routine repair immortal text.

There are a lot of things to do during the Chinese New Year, and it also takes time to prepare, so the time to send the book should be after the New Year, in mid to late February.

At present, I have written the beginning of a chapter, and everyone who has read it says that it is good (only my wife has seen it).

I don't dare to say anything else, my writing is definitely still in the advanced stage, and one will be better than the other.

I don't like to follow the trend (that's why I pounced so badly), I have seen the popular outlets over the years, Gou Dao Flow, Longevity Flow, Wife Flow, Many Children and Blessings, and Shuttle between the Two Realms...... I just don't write! It's strong!

I always want to be able to write something I want to write, and I can make some small innovations.

Therefore, I believe that the new book can also bring you some freshness.

Interested brothers remember to try the poison when the time comes, to see if it suits your appetite.

Don't be in a hurry to remove this book from the shelf, it doesn't take up much space, and new books will be notified here when the time comes.

Unconsciously I talked nonsense 1,500 words, damn it, why didn't I write the text so smoothly!

That's all, without further ado, I wish you all a great New Year!
