Chapter 129: Speech on the Release and the Belated Speech on Sanjiang
When this story was published in Sanjiang, I completely forgot to write down the speech, so I put it together with the speech on the release.
Since the beginning of this story, I never expected that I would achieve the results I have now.
My initial goal was to have more than a thousand collections before I finished the book...
A very humble goal, isn't it?
I have mentioned before that I was lucky enough to sign a contract for my first book, and it was not until the day the million-word book was completed that I had 102 collections.
After that, the collection slowly grew. It was not until half a year after finishing this book that the collection reached 300.
It was because when I was reading a book at the time, I saw an author wrote about a self-deprecating plot about how to write a book with only 1,000 Junding. There are only two things that are consistent about my first book.
After attracting the attention of a large number of curious readers, I was awarded the honor of 300 collections...
I realized at that time that I was not a talented writer.
I often refer to my first book and say, "I was able to complete the book 243 days a day without changing the two conditions. I am very proud."
But how many people are bitter about this? Have you experienced it?
When I was at work, I came back from a party and was drowsily coding.
I gritted my teeth and stayed up late just to tell myself that it was easy to give up, but that would only lead to nothing.
Because I don’t like socializing, maintaining relationships between people is too painful for me.
Accommodate each other and give each other "face", but it's too painful.
So I am very grateful to the editor of Xingchen who signed me at that time. He gave me an opportunity, an opportunity that did not have to delve into interpersonal communication, and allowed me to live in the way of my choice.
I saw a path that I could take control of.
I believe everything will get better.
I started buying reference books and instruction books.
"Writing", "Comic Books by Hirohiko Araki", "Excellent Story Dialogues", "Words of Words", "Stories"...
Waiting for books that I think may be beneficial to me, I bought a lot of them .
I have no love experience, so I watched "A Man Called Ove", "Six Chapters of a Floating Life", "Snow Country" and "The Most Touching Love Letter in the World"...
I want to try To describe a touching emotion.
I feel like I have no ideas. I read "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and a small part of "Marxism-Leninism" and "How Steel Was Tempered" and "Collected Works of Lu Xun"...
So I became a little confused. In the vast sea of books, I became even more confused.
What they say is correct, but they are also full of contradictions with each other.
I finally started to think seriously and began to explore what stories I wanted to write.
This story is my attempt, I want to be able to at least live my life first.
To be honest, I didn’t craft this story carefully and I didn’t think it through enough.
There are still many loopholes, which I admit.
But I dare to say that every character in it is accompanied by a lot of research information. I have never perfunctory with this story, and I have never perfunctory with the readers in the plot.
I go over my outline every few days, add or delete the outline, and adjust the order of things. This is something I am used to.
Before publishing the book, I submitted an internal submission to editor Lu Ming. Editor Lu Ming told me that I could sign it and add him after the book is published and reviewed.
I was really happy that day, and then I made a wish to collect more than 1,000 copies before finishing the book.
Before that, my second book was serialized to 200,000 words, and I was rejected four times when I applied for a contract.
The suffering of not seeing hope is sad.
So I cherish this story very much.
So when I started the book, I updated it at least twice a day. From the beginning of the trial, I updated it to three times a day, with more than 6,000 words.
Then with the help of editor Lu Ming and the support of readers, I received a series of recommendations.
I'm sincerely grateful.
Up to now, many works that were published before me have less than 200,000 words, while I have already reached 280,000 words.
In terms of recommendations for the same period, I have always been the one with the most updates.
The period when my collection grew the most was during the days when I topped the sci-fi category signing list. I stayed at the top of the list for about five or six days.
Coupled with the role of recommendations, the collection grew by nearly 7,000 in those days. This is an increase that I would never have imagined.
I have hesitated whether I should control the number of updates per day so that I can extend the public period.
But I didn't do that.
I know very well that part of the reason why I can get everyone's support is because of my stable updates.
After all, when the quality of the story cannot meet high standards, a large number of stable updates can allow everyone to slightly lower their quality requirements.
That's all I can do.
After I opened the book, I have experienced moving, renovation, and now the insulation of the exterior walls of the old building. Life has long been discontinuous for me.
The morning before yesterday, I unfortunately had my waist injured...
Then I sat at the table with difficulty and endured the severe pain while typing. Now I have to do typing every hour. Lie on the bed and stretch yourself out to relieve the pain in your waist.
But I have no complaints.
I am in average health and a smoker, at least a pack and a half of cigarettes a day, which is even more extreme than the Constantine I described.
Then in April, I did some heavy work and felt unwell and went to the hospital.
Asthma... The emergency doctor recommended that I be hospitalized because the wheezing was very severe. I sat in the emergency room with an IV drip and thought about it for a long time.
Finally, I pulled out the infusion needle on the back of my hand and left the hospital as if I was running away.
I hope everyone will follow my example and stay away from cigarettes.
I don't like hospitals.
I can't accept things that I don't like. If I don't like it, I just don't like it. I don't want to force myself to become someone else.
I feel like that’s not me.
That kind of mental depression is like standing on the edge of a cliff.
I am afraid of a sudden collapse...
So I cherish every one of my book friends.
I have never banned book friends, and I have only deleted three of them so far.
It is because these three book friends stung my sensitive heart...
You can see that there are good and bad comments in the book review area. I am very grateful to everyone who is willing to spend time in this Leave a comment on the story.
So I didn’t delete the bad review.
If you didn't read this story and didn't feel anything about it, why would you spend time here?
So I am sincerely grateful to every book friend who has left a mark.
From the beginning, I never asked for a reward. It's just a simple matter of asking for a recommendation vote.
Of course I want to get rewards from everyone, but I know that there are some things that everyone is not willing to give me, and I can't ask for them.
In the end, this story is a commodity. I am sincerely grateful to everyone who is willing to buy it and reward it.
But who am I to require everyone to buy this product?
I have no such qualifications.
Buying and selling is a matter of mutual choice, and no one is qualified to dictate what everyone must do.
The day to put it on the shelves has finally arrived. It’s not my first time to experience it, but this time it’s completely different from before.
My first book only had two uniform definites, so I can remember the nickname of the only reader who subscribed to them all. His name is "Heaven's Lie".
Although he never left a message in the book, I once wondered if he simply clicked on the automatic subscription and then forgot about the existence of the book.
But now this book makes me really see the possibility of living.
So I came up with an update rule that probably works for me.
If you add 100 monthly tickets, you will get an additional chapter, and if you give a total of 100 yuan in rewards, you will get an additional chapter, which will temporarily last for one month.
The average increase is a long-term indicator. The average number at the end of each month divided by 100 is the average increase for the next month.
If this book is a good one, I will add at least 30 chapters every month.
What do you think of this update method?
Although I think the probability of my own quality products is not high, but this does not prevent me from dreaming, right...
Of course there is an additional long-term update, every time a new person is added to the fan list The helmsman, add one chapter, the hall leader two chapters, the protector three chapters, the elders four chapters, the leader five chapters, the grandmaster ten chapters, the alliance leader fifteen chapters, and the golden alliance chapter thirty.
Updates to the fan list are all named updates.
It seems like a lot of settings, but the results don’t stop me from dreaming, right...
If this story fails to repay all the extra updates until it is finished, then the extra updates owed will be extended to me. in the next book.
In the first month from the launch, I will keep updating more than 10,000 words per day.
Updates with more than three chapters, that is, the fourth update, are considered debt repayments.
Next month’s update will be related to everyone’s subscription. The higher the uniformity, the more my daily updates will increase.
I am able to get to this point, thank you very much for your support.
So I really want to use a long way to express my gratitude to everyone.
But in the end I could only think of a series of thank yous.
I am so excited.
Then let me say "thank you".
Thank you all!
Thank you!
Thank you everyone for giving me hope!
There is nothing I can do to repay everyone's kindness except adding more updates!
Now, I will lie down for a while to relieve my waist injury, and then continue typing.
On this day, September 1st, I will issue a guaranteed update of fifteen chapters! I hope you all like this story, and I hope this story is worth your purchase!
If the economy is tight recently, I don’t care too much about readers reading the gun version...
As long as readers of the gun version don’t suddenly come to accuse me of doing something wrong in the paid chapters. Cheng...
Although I haven't experienced that feeling, I think it will hurt me...
So, thank you everyone!
I will release three chapters to everyone after the VIP is opened, and the subsequent twelve chapters will be released gradually. Don't stay up late and wait, my updates will be frequent.
The author looked south and paused!
