Chapter 72: Comments on the launch
The comments were written near the early hours of the night. It rained where the eggplant was yesterday afternoon, and it already felt like a refreshing autumn day. There was a computer in front of me, a window next to me, and a quiet night outside. When I started typing the first text, I suddenly froze. At that moment, I seemed to hear the gentle echo of time.
This is not the first time I have written a statement about the launch. I still remember every detail of the day when I first typed out the words "Remarks on the launch". Eggplant's thoughts seemed to pass through the dim lights of a sleepless night in an instant. , after passing the busy days and nights, looking back, there are gains , there are regrets, there are giving up, and there are also things that cannot be explained, these things linger in the mind, lingering, turning into scattered memories, and these memories are woven into the life of the past ten years.
Now, eggplant has come to a new starting point.
The heart is naturally overflowing with complex emotions - deep emotions for the past years, infinite longing for the future journey, and worries, deep worries. "The Day of Confinement" carries this The child, who has worked so hard in recent months, finally has its "on the shelf" moment.
August 20th at 12 noon!
That’s noon today.
Here, I would like to say a few words from my heart to every dear reader who has been by my side.
Looking back over the past ten years, to be precise, it was November 18, 2010, from the time the first chapter of "Shadow Street" was uploaded. 5,023 days have passed since then. Writing has been a long and lonely journey for me. At first, it was just a glimmer of light deep in my soul, quietly illuminating my world in countless ordinary days. At that time, Eggplant, with his love for online texts and curiosity about the unknown world, used extremely immature brushstrokes to outline his own dreams on virtual paper. Every stroke of the keyboard is like a profound dialogue with oneself, and every modification and polish is a relentless pursuit of perfection.
The years pass by in a blink of an eye. On this road, I encountered countless challenges and difficulties. There is despair when inspiration runs out, loneliness when no one cares about your work, and countless moments when you want to give up but grit your teeth and persevere. But these experiences, like a whetstone, sharpened my will even more tenaciously. I learned to move forward in loneliness, persist in my persistence, from the past to the present, and then continue to hold this persistence into the future.
And all these changes and growth, persistence and perseverance are inseparable from one thing.
Your company and support!
It is you who give Eggplant the courage and motivation to move forward with every reading, comment, like, and silent reading. When Eggplant was most confused, it was your encouragement that helped me find the direction; when I was most exhausted, your expectations rekindled my hope. You are not only readers, but also fellow travelers in this journey of Eggplant’s life. Whenever Eggplant gets tired and looks back, you will always find these are the most precious treasures in life.
Said So much, in essence, probably, or this is simply Eggplant asking for support.
"The Day of Imprisonment" is now on the shelves. Those who were book friends, brothers who used to read with me, friends who used to chat and spank in the group, if you have time, come back and read it, and give Eggplant a subscription. A piece of support.
Currently, the book has more than 6,000 collections, and I hope the subscriptions can be increased a little. After all, a good start is half the success.
Eggplant sincerely invites every reader to embark on this new journey with me. Each of your subscriptions is the greatest affirmation and support for Eggplant; each of your feedback is a source of motivation for Eggplant's continuous progress.
Finally, thank you to the editors of the second group, thank you to the editor-in-chief, and thank you all for your continued companionship and support!
Regarding updates, due to the particularity of the theme of "The Day of Imprisonment", the coding speed has not been improved, and sometimes it is necessary to go back and modify it, but on the day of release, there will still be a few more chapters, maybe It’s four chapters, maybe five chapters. If you support me a lot, if the data is good and the results are high, you will naturally be motivated.
On other normal update days, two chapters will be updated every day, with additional chapters added from time to time. Finally, I finish with one sentence: Because of you, my story has a soul; because of you, my journey is no longer lonely!
