Chapter 32 Remarks on the launch
Before I knew it, I had reached the stage of being put on the shelves again, haha. Although the news came unexpectedly, I was a little caught off guard.
However, come when you come. There will always be all kinds of unsatisfactory things in life, which will appear randomly at every time period. There is no need to pay too much attention to them.
As for the comments, my understanding is to chat with readers and friends, and have fun.
Even though it's just a family affair, there still has to be a leader, so let's start with this unsatisfactory one.
It's funny. I just received a message from the editor this afternoon, saying that I was kicked out of the third round and could not advance to the fourth round. After that, I started coding until nine o'clock, and I didn't even have a bite of food. There was a power outage at home.
As of now, it's 11:20, and there's no sign of a call, so it's still a bit hard to hold on.
This can be regarded as a small part of "unsatisfactory". I feel very deeply about these four words.
When I first started college, before I started serializing novels on the platform, I followed a book by a great author, and later added his readership.
At that time, the book review section was holding an event, calling on everyone to engage in second creation, so I wrote a fan article and posted it, and was fortunate enough to get a personal reply from this author friend.
He sent me a recruitment advertisement for various types of work at the construction site, including excavators to moving bricks, as well as the phone numbers of the person in charge, manager, and foreman.
From today's perspective, such a notice can be considered quite sincere, there is no nonsense, it is all practical information.
Then this old brother kindly told me that I should just go here and find a job instead of working as a writer.
It's a pity that I was young and energetic at that time and didn't understand the value of the job. I only had one thought in my mind - drafting, you are too damn insulting.
Looking back now, I just feel that the treatment in that advertisement was pretty good, and maybe I really missed a good opportunity.
Some friends may think after seeing this, eighty or ninety percent of this matter was brought up by him specifically to tease me, but isn’t there still one hundred and twenty percent left?
What if, right?
This can be regarded as a realization I have gained after many unsatisfactory results over the years. "In case of emergency", you always have to fight for it yourself.
But I didn't understand this at that time. I just felt angry and felt uncomfortable everywhere. I had no choice but to endure it. What else could I do?
After all, the cafe is here, and now I look at it, haha, it is even more prosperous.
At that time, I also doubted whether I was producing garbage. In the next nearly two years, I did not produce a complete work. I was basically writing the beginning, with various beginnings, ranging from 30,000 to 50,000.
After a while, Teacher Yintian read the beginning of my post and gave me a strong encouragement. I felt that I was ready, so I would post the book.
After I published the book, my results were dismal and I didn't even pass a single round. My luck wasn't very good that year either, with unsatisfactory things happening one after another.
Just after publishing the book, my mother was diagnosed with cancer, luckily it was thyroid cancer, and she was hospitalized in Chongqing. During that time, I was about to graduate, and I had to go back to Chengdu frequently to meet with my tutor and go through various graduation procedures.
After these problems are solved, the book is almost finished. In the end, I only wrote a few hundred thousand words and completed the plot of the first volume. It can't even be considered a hasty ending.
At that time, I thought, forget it, I may not be good at writing novels in this life. I was graduating at that time, and my mother asked me to sign up for a class and take the civil service exam.
Then take the exam. As soon as the class is in class, something happens again. That class is not far from my home, about two or three kilometers away. It goes from 9 am to 9 pm every day. The time period is quite awkward, so I basically take a taxi.
As soon as I took a taxi, I picked up a buddy who was traveling in Cao Cao. He ran all night and fell asleep while driving. He directly broke a telephone pole and knocked me into the hospital.
It took almost half a year of training before I could use my right hand normally. However, after injuring the radial nerve, it became difficult to lift heavy objects and I could not type for too long.
Now it’s okay, I haven’t been able to take the written exam during this period, and I want to write a novel shamelessly, so let’s start writing again. I used my half-disabled right hand to knock for several months, and I came up with more than 50,000 yuan. The beginning of the word was sent to a small group of our friends.
cloudy day! It's him again!
Teacher Yintian read it and told me that he felt that the beginning was good, really good. He felt more excited than me, haha.
Now that I think about it, the person I feel most sorry for when my last book ended in this way is his friend who has been helping me revise the article and spare no effort to recommend it to me.
When I'm almost done with my cultivation, I'll publish another book. Once I publish it, the results are really good, much better than the current one. Although I didn't go to Sanjiang, I've eaten almost all the recommendations. I'll save it before putting it on the shelves. There are also more than thirteen thousand.
Then, something unsatisfactory happened again.
Anyone who has read the previous book knows that it started with the world of Shenzhou Qixia. After I finished writing this copy, my good friend Teacher Wen Cha Mijiu persuaded me to write a similar world view of ancient martial arts.
I rejected him righteously, telling him that I wanted to write about an infinite world with diverse painting styles, and seriously criticized Teacher Wen's Infinite Glory Picture Book, although it was called Infinite, but it didn't have any flavor of infinity.
Now that I think about it, Teacher Wen is indeed far-sighted and thoughtful, hahaha. I hope he can forgive me for my ignorance back then.
For this infinite flavor, I chose a copy of Guiwei Street with some martial arts elements, and incorporated many references from other worlds. The results, haha, plummeting are not enough to describe it.
As soon as I entered the dungeon, my follow-up reading was immediately cut off, and I fell into a vicious cycle. The more anxious I was, the worse my writing became, and the faster I lost readers.
When it was finally put on the shelves, the collection was more than 13,000, and the first order was less than 300. The collection ratio can be regarded as a new record, haha.
Then the editor was having a hard time and advised me to cut it off. I thought, this copy is going to be finished anyway, so I should make more preparations for the next copy and see if I can increase it again.
At that time, Teacher Wen told me that if the average subscription could reach 500, there might be recommendations. I thought, let’s work hard for 500.
In this way, I persisted for more than two months, and the average subscription reached 600. Then the editor told me, haha, buddy, there is no such thing, the results of your book are just like this, and there will be no recommendations in the future. .
Then I thought, it is an infinite flow anyway, at least after writing the current copy, it will have a beginning and an end. Then, something unsatisfactory happened again. Friends who read my last book all know that my father helped his sister, my aunt, act as a guarantor and used the family house as a mortgage, and then this property My name was also on the certificate, so I was asked to sign it.
At that time, my mother suggested that if we really wanted to help, we could sell the house and give them the money, but we just didn’t need to sign. I didn’t understand at the time and didn’t express my opinion.
Then when my relatives heard this suggestion, they immediately climaxed on the spot, angrily scolding my mother because she didn't want to guarantee it, and then got weird and the most classic old-school value of family affection came up. Although my mother was not so angry, she was also fucked. I got the roof over my head and didn’t say anything.
Then I signed, and then there was a thunderstorm.
Ha ha.
I didn’t know anything, but I suddenly became the person subject to execution. The bank card bound to the book was also frozen, and Alipay and WeChat could not be used.
Therefore, I would like to warn all readers and friends, never give any guarantee to others, especially a personal guarantee. A company can go bankrupt, but an individual cannot.
This problem still bothers me. I have only graduated a year ago and I have millions of dollars in debt, but I still have a successful career.
What can I do at this time? Write a book, and then everyone will see this book.
So I said, although this book did not reach the fourth round as I had hoped, and the results were abysmal, but now it seems that it is okay, not bad, and it is not a big problem.
Here is a little tip to share with you readers. When you feel that something is bothering you and makes you uneasy, you can find a bigger, more difficult-to-solve pain to cover it all.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
I was under a lot of pressure from schoolwork in junior high school, and I was extremely anxious every day. Because we were in a boarding school, if I couldn't finish my homework during self-study in the evening, I would be criticized the next day, which was very uncomfortable.
At that time, none of the brothers in our dormitory could finish their homework, and they had to make up for it when they returned to the dormitory for self-study at night. However, the lights in the dormitory were turned off at ten o'clock on time, and the dormitory manager asked you to go to bed, so we had to find a way.
Fortunately, a subway station was being built outside our school at that time, and the headlight at the construction site was facing the toilet in our dormitory.
Then for a few nights we waited for the dormitory manager to go to sleep, then ran to the toilet, opened the window, let the construction site spotlights shine in, and used this light to do our homework.
Now that I think about it, it's hard to imagine that four people could fit into a space of less than three square meters. The brothers at the back even invented a method of holding a small flashlight in their mouths and pressing the papers against the wall.
However, the flashlight light is too bright, so everyone uses a lot of toilet paper to wrap the light bulb so that it only emits a little light, but experienced friends will notice another problem.
——It will be very, very hot, the light bulb may explode at any time, and the flashlight is held in the mouth, so it is very dangerous.
Fortunately, nothing happened at that time, but this experience also left a deep psychological shadow on me, until one day very later, I suddenly had an epiphany.
Damn this homework, if I die tomorrow, why do I need to do this homework?
Then I imagined how I lost consciousness, how I fell into darkness, how I couldn't sleep.
One thought makes the world wide, my friends.
This method is not a panacea, and there were many problems during the subsequent practice, but it did help me get rid of a lot of troubles.
I also recommend this method to everyone here.
I have said so much just to tell you that although the situation in this book seems not optimistic, and my situation is even less optimistic, it is not a big deal.
In the long run, in the long run, if everything is dark no matter how you look at it, why not just think about what you will do if you die suddenly tomorrow, haha.
Just now I saw a friend leave a message saying that if he asked me to go to the WeChat official account, he would definitely support it. Thank you to this book friend. It was more than just a thank you. I was simply moved.
There are also many old friends who have been reading since the last book. I am also very familiar with those IDs who often vote for monthly votes and recommendation votes. Thank you.
I also know the situation of the last book. After reading it, everyone can continue to support me. I can only describe this feeling as great.
Of course, there are also many new friends who have just read this book. According to the data I can see so far, the collection as of August 20th is only over 4,000, but the number of readers has reached more than 1,000. This is also inseparable from everyone. of great help.
Then let’s talk about the follow-up to this book. I originally designed this copy to be about 250,000 words long. I learned from the lessons of the previous book and wanted to extend the plot as much as possible until it is on the shelves, so as not to be too busy at the beginning. Just lose too many readers.
I just didn't expect that I would be charged for just 150,000 words. This was slightly different from my expectations, but it's not a big problem, so let's keep writing.
As everyone knows from the introduction, the next dungeon is a mixed martial arts world with Tianlong and the Four Famous Catchers as the main parts. The volume is also trying to be developed to more than 200,000, and the style is as close to the original as possible, with more of a fan color. Good friends. You can look forward to it.
Let’s talk about the additional updates on the shelves. On the first day, the minimum update limit is 8,000 words. Try to keep it closer to 10,000 words. We won’t divide it into chapters or not. Let’s just talk about the number of words.
If the first order within 24 hours can exceed 1,000, then we will add another 4,000 words. If there is no mention of additional updates, then it means it is less than 1,000. Please don’t bring it up and hurt my heart. Let’s have a tacit understanding.
Sometimes I often watch videos on site B, and when I see those ups saying how many likes they have, another issue will be released within a few days.
Then the deadline came and the likes didn't reach that standard. There were still many viewers leaving messages in the comment area and asking questions. I felt a little bit embarrassed and hoped that this kind of thing would not happen to me, haha.
As for this additional update, if it is really reached but not written out on the day, I will settle it before September.
After all, everyone knows that my right hand is just like this. If I want to update it, I can only rely on time to accumulate it. If I really want to keep writing, there will be problems.
So much for gossip. Authors, authors, ultimately have to let their works speak for themselves.
Finally, I would like to thank you all for your support. I hope we can complete this road together. In life, there must be some things that have a beginning and an end.
Please come in please come in.
