A single chapter by an ordinary author
There are some things I want to say here.
First of all, thank you all for being here.
Thanks to the big guys for your subscriptions, tips, votes and encouragement.
Your support gives me great motivation.
I saw someone leaving a message saying that this book is going to be sold out.
What the author wants to say here is that this book has always been quite cool...
After all, this is a book I wrote. I don’t know if it’s cool or not?
Everyone should have seen the comments on the launch.
The first order when it was put on the shelves was only 290.
As of now, more than a month has passed, and the average booking has increased to around 580.
Probably doubled.
This increase can only be said to be acceptable, and it cannot be said to be outstanding at all.
But what can be done?
Who doesn’t want to write a popular book?
But the fact is that after all, there are only a few books that are popular, and the majority are books that are not popular.
Just like most people, they are ordinary and mediocre in this life. They are not rich and have no achievements worthy of praise.
All kinds of honors and awards have nothing to do with them, and their names will not be included in various reports. A lifetime of hard work is just an ordinary life.
If they were put into movies, TV series, and novels, they wouldn't even be considered supporting characters, they would just be nameless people who couldn't be named, and didn't even have a scene.
No one cares whether they are dead or still alive.
Their joy, happiness, sadness, and anger are all unappreciated and paid attention to by the audience.
But the fact is that even if you are sad or angry, it will not help.
Since ordinary people are ordinary people, the only thing they can do is accept their own ordinaryness.
Just like the author now has to accept that he is just an ordinary author writing an ordinary book.
So what can be done now?
Just face normal life.
Write slowly, boil slowly, and practice slowly.
I hope that I can use my accumulated efforts over time to gain some possibility of rewards.
Those who can do twice the result with half the effort are geniuses. For ordinary people, it is considered good to do twice the result with half the result. It is common to do ten times the result with half the result and do a hundred times the result with half the result.
Even after working hard for a long time, I realized that everything was in vain.
These may be the norm.
I remember that there was a long speech before, but I can’t remember the specific content.
Anyway, the final conclusion is to let the author cut the book or something.
But if you cut the book, will the next one really be better?
It’s not like the author has never cut it before. You can check out my author account page.
There are some with tens of thousands of words, some with hundreds of thousands of words, and some with two to three hundred thousand words.
As a result, I cut so many copies, and now I still have hundreds of orders for this book.
This shows that, for me, cutting books is probably a dead end.
After hitting the wall so many times, it’s time to look back.
So, this book won't cut it.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
The author decided to give it a try.
No matter how bad my grades are, I will still write at least one million words and finish the book normally.
And maybe the situation will get better with more words?
Although hope is slim, we still have to have hope.
At least the author feels that the book has not collapsed yet.
Persistence is just a word.
It's easy to say and easy to read. Elementary school students can read it and know what it means. It's so light and easy that it seems like they can do it casually.
But only if you really try it will you know that this is not an easy task.
Confusion, self-doubt, self-denial, denial from others, all kinds of negative feedback, boring...
As someone who has given up many times, I am already in awe of the word "persistence", but I still want to give it a try.
I will put the words here today, with a single chapter as proof.
No matter what the final result of this book is.
I will definitely write a million words and finish the book normally.
After all, when you are alive, you have to try to hold on to something, right?
