A long-overdue apology letter
First of all, I would like to apologize to all readers, whether they are just starting to read this book or those who have been following it all the way to the present.
I'm sorry.
The reason for my apology is that I have failed to do my job as a writer: to do my best to present a great story to the reader.
I have always believed that professional attitude is the basic quality of a person's work, and writing a book is largely based on personal talent, but more important is professional attitude.
Whether it's a serialized work, or a writing career.
However, I made a mistake on this issue.
I didn't take my work seriously enough, and I didn't take my profession seriously enough.
So much so that the beginning of this new book is very unsatisfactory.
I have previously devoted a single chapter to the difficulties of the beginning of the creation of this book.
Repeatedly revised, repeatedly overturned, the current serialization is the fifth edition, and there are actually a few versions that have been deleted in the outline stage, repeatedly, and hundreds of thousands of words have been tossed.
However, until the agreed release time was approaching, I still didn't write a satisfactory enough beginning, so I had no choice but to post it first.
Of course, the result is not good, the beginning part is criticized by many people, the amnesia bridge, the design of the magic road, etc., have disappointed many readers.
In this regard, I really have no shame to defend anything, and if I didn't do a good job, I didn't do a good job.
However, what made me feel even more embarrassed was what happened afterward.
After the serialization began, because I didn't have a lot of manuscripts, I had to keep creating every day, and at the same time, I also made a request to myself before the end of the sword spirit, and the new book should be updated no matter what. Therefore, the pressure of daily updates is relatively large, and at least about 5k words must be written.
In fact, of course, this is not a large amount, but for those who were already idle at that time, they needed to completely change their pace of life.
No more wasting time going to the forum to brush posts, no more QQ water groups, no more random make-ups......
In this way, I was able to maintain a normal creative state.
Then I found that since I stabilized the update requirements, my creative state has become surprisingly good, many plots are written and written, and many episodes that I can't figure out how to deal with, inspiration is constantly flowing, and the whole person is reborn as if it is elitist.
And at this time, I can't bear to look at what I wrote before.
Why do you write such a plot? Why do you make such a difficult setting? Why didn't you think about the consequences of writing like this?
Why?
It's simple, because I was too lazy before, and I lost my writing status.
In fact, since the later stages of the Sword and Soul serialization, I have been completely unworthy of being a professional writer.
Most of the day is used to play games, watch videos, take QQ water groups, even if you open the writing software, you can write a few words and look at your phone, cut out to look at the web page.
In such a state, even if you spend 10 hours a day in front of a computer screen, the final effective output is pitiful.
And the pitiful update of the word count is like a professional athlete who stops his daily training, but overeats and lies still...... The state naturally slipped and flew fast.
So much so that when I seriously began to think about the new book place, I was already like a bloated fat house, sluggish and stupid.
I can't think of a good story, I can't think of a good enough setting, and what's worse, my aesthetic standards are also lowering. 60 points feel satisfied, and even the odd setting feels normal. should have come up with a joke at hand, but at this time, he had to grin and think for a long time before he could knock out a row of awkward conversations.
I was tormented by this period and wondered if I had really reached this point.
However, when I started to update normally and forced myself to write seriously every day, I realized that it was not my ceiling that had slipped down, but that I had abandoned myself.
A professional writer who does not seriously maintain his professional state, excuses himself with various reasons, and refuses to exercise normally every day.
Then it is a natural thing to write bad work.
However, presenting such a terrible work to readers who have always trusted me is the worst act of all.
Before I realized this, I actually just thought that the beginning of the novel was mishandled, that it was a lack of preparation, an accident, and a failure to discuss the plot with enough people...... It will be slowly improved in the future.
But in fact, the bad writing is only because of the poor state, and the poor state is only because people are too lazy, everything is caused by subjective factors, and I don't have any excuse to shirk it.
So, I'm here to say to all my readers sincerely, I'm sorry.
It was my own laziness that led to the deterioration of the work.
Of course, a fluffy excuse of sorry doesn't make any sense, and it's impossible for me to overturn what I wrote at this point—even though I've reworked the first chapter......
Well, as compensation, and as a salvage measure for me to continue my career, I will do my best to run and write.
At present, my rehabilitation situation is quite good, and the number of updates every day is gradually increasing, from five or six thousand words a day at the beginning, to more than 10,000 words a day for a period of time, and even close to 20,000 words at most - frankly speaking, my upper limit of hand speed is not fast, this is not a state problem, it is a real upper limit problem, so other authors may be able to write forty or fifty thousand a day, but I can't do it even if I don't sleep.
Then the plot became smoother and smoother, and the characterization began to be handy.
This point, if you haven't abandoned the pit at the beginning and persisted until now, should have seen it.
Of course, it may be that the above feeling is just my self-congratulation, and there are still many problems with the quality of the plot...... But at least the daily code word, the most basic number, has been improved.
In the future, I will work harder and do more.
I don't ask for the forgiveness of every reader, I just hope that everyone can give me a chance.
At the very least, let me compensate you for a story that is still wonderful in the follow-up, and also compensate you for a high-explosive month that I have never had in all my years in the industry.
The new book will be on the shelves in May, and here, I don't ask for a monthly pass, nor do I ask for any rewards, after all, there is a mistake in the front, and I am not qualified to ask for so much.
I only hope that readers and friends can continue to follow this story.
And all I can do is keep writing and keep updating.
If readers are still willing to support me, vote, and reward, then of course, the outbreak will erupt, the desperate outbreak will erupt, and the desperate outbreak will continue to erupt.
Thank you readers and friends for your continued attention and support.
