On the last day of January, there are still a few days to celebrate the New Year, here to the readers of the old man to pay a greeting to the early years, I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Dragon, and the wealth is rolling in!

……

Looking back on the past year, I have written 3 books with three to four million words, and I have a lot of feelings.

From the end of 22 years, I quit my job as an Internet product manager with a monthly salary of more than 20,000 yuan, went south from BJ, settled in Guangdong, and wrote full-time, which can be said to be completely not understood by my family.

After all, I'm in my 30s, dragging my family with me, my two sons are going to school, I have no job, and I want to realize my literary dream when I was young, how stupid I look (don't laugh!!) ）。

All my relatives and friends don't think I can succeed.

My wife was clamoring for a divorce, and all kinds of relatives came to persuade me openly and secretly, at that time, I deeply understood what it means to be "the icing on the cake, and the charcoal in the snow is less"!

What is called "your dreams are just your dreams and have nothing to do with others"!

At that time, what supported me was the arrogance of "don't bully the poor boy" in my chest, and I firmly believed that I could succeed!

So I resolutely sold my only home, paid off my mortgage, and started working full-time.

However, reality is not fiction, and arrogance will not solve anything!

Although I have to pick up and drop off my children to school every day, wash clothes, cook and wash dishes, it is a code word!

If you don't code 10,000 words, you will never sleep!

Trying to achieve success with hard work.

But my first book was still miserable, running naked to 300,000 words on the shelves, and the first order was 20;

The second book is a little better, 180,000 words on the shelves, the first order is 200, and the last book is 1200 orders;

And this one is the third one.

When I opened the book, the editor said that the upper limit was 1,000, and I was naturally very desperate, but I thought that I had written so many words and made some progress, so I still wrote it head-on.

Sure enough, when there were 100,000 words, the collection was 2,800, and the follow-up reading was only 500, and the editor felt that there was not much potential, so he arranged for 120,000 words to be put on the shelves.

At that time, I thought that if I had 300 first orders, I would be able to keep writing them, even if the final book was 1500 orders.

As a result, the unexpected appeared!

Thanks to the support of readers, this book actually got the first order of 1200 with 2800 collection data!

This subscription ratio directly shocked the author circle!

Later, when the book was almost 500,000 words, it got a boutique badge, and now it is more than 4,000 words, which is a small boutique.

In this year, I had many months with a manuscript fee of less than 3,000 yuan, and even the lowest month was only 470 yuan, but I still insisted on writing.

To this day, although it is not a success, at least it has allowed my family to write an essay on me, and there is no opinion.

I can also afford the tuition fees of my two children and pay the rent.

So I think life is like this, there are always twists and turns, but as long as you stick to the right path, there will always be a dawn.

I like Taizu very much, so I quote a poem from his old man and give it to you-

"I am confident that if I live for 200 years, I will be hit by water for 3,000 miles!"

In the new year, I wish you and me encouragement!
