Chapter 58 Release Notice (Some inner words)
It will be on the shelves at 12 noon on Wednesday. I have some things in my heart that I want to talk to you about.
Let’s talk about the book writing process first.
I still remember that it was when the sign-in flow of "How many years have I been in xxx" was just becoming popular. I submitted and edited several times but failed to submit the manuscript. After imitating "How many years have I been in xxx", I officially started my road to success.
At that time, I happened to meet an author on Tieba. We both had similar writing styles, so we were at the same time.
After writing this, he took off and placed an initial order of 1,700.
I still remember that he told me very proudly at that time: I didn’t expect that I would get up after the second book!
I was very envious at the time. I thought that we were both at the same starting point. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Don’t worry, wait until I finish my book and surpass you.
Then he slowly began to produce high-quality works, his royalties skyrocketed, and he was rewarded by the Silver Alliance.
I read one book after another and received more than 2,000, more than 3,000, more than 4,000 yuan in royalties. The highest reward was 200 yuan for the last book. At that time, I was quite happy to post it in the group, thinking that I would receive it in the future. If the alliance leader rewards you, just post it on Moments to show off.
The successive attacks on the street made me feel discouraged. When I surpassed you in my next book, it gradually became that people just eat this bowl of rice and can't compare.
During countless years of struggling, I watched online teaching and editing spaces...
I recently browsed the QQ space, and there was a row full of editors’ avatars. Sometimes I clicked in once every half day to look at it. I wanted to take a look at the editing tutorials, and I was eager to make progress.
At that time, I was very eager to have an editor who could help me improve. After reading other people's testimonials on the shelf, the editor talked to me about the book for several hours, and the editor read the book all the way.
I look at mine and send out a sentence, half a day, once every few days.
I would like to thank the editors who are very important to my writing.
The first edit is, [cheese].
Cheese makes me feel warm.
He was the first editor who approached me on QQ and told me that this should be changed, that this should be written like this, and that book reviews should be controlled and negative reviews should not be left, as they would affect subsequent readers.
Submissions are usually sent via email, but when I sent him an idea on QQ, he would show it to me as soon as possible. We chatted for more than two hours at most.
Although he has resigned now, I really want to share it with him after the book has achieved results, so that he can know that the Pengjie I once cultivated has grown! ! !
The second editor I want to thank is [Ziliang].
Although I haven't published any books to him...
I originally drafted a rebirth article there, and added a group and friends to it. However, because the beginning was not corrected repeatedly, it was not published.
Later, I submitted several more books, but they all failed to be drafted, hahahaha.
With him, I accumulated theories about web writing.
He often asks questions in the group: How to write pretense? How to write awesome? How to write a sense of superiority? What are the six elements of character?
When I was writing this acceptance speech, I thought back to what he asked about how to write pretentiousness, but I didn’t think of it. It seems that I need to review the previous screenshots...
The group name is Bai Qiangwei, and I even wrote a special tribute to Huang Qiangwei in my last book.
I am really grateful to him. Without his theory, I might still have many detours to go.
Whenever one of his authors gets thousands of orders for their high-quality products, he will congratulate them in the group. At that time, I was thinking about when it would be my turn...
However, after repeatedly submitting submissions and hitting a wall, I chose to try another submission.
After switching jobs, I met the editor [Penglai] who was very important to my writing.
Penglai is great, I would like to call him "the editor who is best at guiding love stories at Qidian"!
He has countless romance writers, and it is precisely because of this that I would rather wait for him to review the manuscript for a week and chose to vote for him!
I received a lot of guidance from him. This was not the case at the beginning of this book. I thought about teaming up with a strange girl and building a relationship bit by bit.
Penglai: It’s too stiff to be with strangers. It’s best to have a good relationship, like a green plum falling from the sky.
Me: I understand green plums, what does the green plum falling from the sky mean?
Penglai: So you are not a two-dimensional person!
If you ask for follow-up reading, they will reply patiently. If a chapter is blocked, they will help you unblock it. In the past, I always waited for application. It is really, really good.
There was a problem with the plot of this book. He also helped me come up with ideas and told me how I should write it. He read the whole process and gave me advice. He also chatted with me for a long time on the weekend. The writing of this book is largely due to him.
In fact, neither of us expected the results of this book.
Penglai: I think it’s around 2,000 yuan.
Me: I will be satisfied if I get 800 first orders. My last book received 300 first orders and averaged 2,100. This one will be satisfied if I get 800 first orders and it is a high-quality book.
Previously published: I feel like I might go to Sanjiang.
Result: All were killed in the first round, and only in the second round of the resurrection game, they were put on the shelves.
This book: I have never even been on the third round, and I would be satisfied if I could do the third round.
Result: Three rivers.
Maybe I bought four books and was favored by the goddess of luck.
The idea for this book came about in 2022, when I saw it in the comment section of a book. At that time, I had saved the manuscript for my last book but had not yet published it. I thought I would write this idea if I jumped at it.
Later, under the editor's persuasion, I didn't have time to think about this story until the book was finished.
I don’t watch variety shows. After reading this book, I realized that this joke was said by Brother Yi himself at the complaint conference...
………
This group name is the most complained about.
Lin Zhixing and Song Ge, do you know how difficult it is to connect these two names and then connect them with an allusive sentence?
I browsed Douyin for many days, thought about it for many days, and chatted with friends before deciding on this one. No one complained at first. When someone complained, I didn’t have the energy to change it. The workload was too big.
I'm really not a young artist, I just wanted to have a bit of meaning. I thought at the time that it couldn't be a piece of cake, so the name of the group was acceptable to not only middle-aged and elderly fans, but also young fans.
………
I cherish every reader.
For previous books, I even replied to every comment. One book friend was shocked, why is there your comment below every comment?
I had to revise the first two chapters of this book more than 20 times. The first version was "Help me have a baby". I don't know if any book friends who read it earlier will remember it.
I will change every reader's suggestion that I think is reasonable.
Reader: How a mentor should not speak.
Me: Okay, that makes sense, I’ll change it.
Reader: It’s so brainless. How can the protagonist talk like this?
Me: Okay, that makes sense, I’ll change it.
etc……
You can look through the table of contents to see how many chapters need to be refreshed. This is because I cherish every reader and I am willing to listen to your suggestions and change it for the better.
But sometimes I have no choice but to delete comments, especially if I don’t want to delete the readers who have been chasing me all the way, but comments are very empathetic.
Some readers may not think there is any problem. If some people say that water is bad, then I will follow suit and abandon the book.
One comment may drive away 10 readers, how can the author bear it? What he likes to read every day after posting is that he can't sleep at night, such as speed updates, it is difficult to fall asleep after deleting whatever he sees.
…
About updates.
The author is a laborer, and I really don’t want to update in the early hours of the morning, but my hand speed is only that fast and I only finished two chapters. I wanted to thank you for the reward, but it took me a long time because of the pinch.
After posting the chapter, it was 12:30 to check the comments, and I fell asleep at 1 o'clock. I posted it without saving many words at that time. I saved the manuscript and used it after more than ten chapters.
Sometimes it may feel like something is missing, but if you say you should post it or not, if you don’t post it, you will no longer recommend it, and no one will follow it up. If you post it, there will be people saying it is useless, etc., which is very uncomfortable.
But I personally feel that this book is really lacking in quality. I was told that it was lacking in quality two days ago.
Editor: You gave too much feedback, so the readers were disappointed.
me? Isn't that foreshadowing? The more foreshadowing, the better the slap in the face would be, wouldn't it?
[I didn’t even know it was water]
You may think too highly of me, and hope that you can treat me as an ordinary author. I am currently groping, and I don’t know what I am doing right or wrong in some places.
Friends who often read entertainment and are familiar with the routines can give me more suggestions. I don’t read many books.
The following example is a fragment that confused me.
Reader: Can you hurry up and get to the stage? Daily grinding and chirping.
On to the stage.
Reader: How many photos do you want for a song? Hurry up to the next one.
Me: What do you like to watch? Is this a plot that makes me like a machine gun, write one hundred thousand words one hundred thousand words after another for two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand?
You want to retain readers, but you can't satisfy everyone's taste. I hope readers who see this can understand the author.
And don't scold me, it will break your heart.
I already had a breakdown in the afternoon. I thought I shouldn't have stopped there yesterday, so I still stayed up late to write. I will finish it and post it as soon as possible to improve my reading experience.
As a result, I was scolded as another provocation. Why was it so short and still posted?
I obviously mean well...
…
The launch time at the beginning of the month is midnight, and the rest are at 12 noon.
This point is twelve hours different from the point I usually send out. I asked my boss for a day off, but he didn’t give it to me. He asked me to come first and leave at 10 o’clock, so I left a chapter today.
I'll stay up late at night, save more, and try to make over 10,000 yuan on the day it goes on sale, to prove that I'm good enough.
After it is put on the shelf, I try to write as much as possible while ensuring the quality, and strive to make three updates.
To update the rules, I looked at the testimonials of other authors and decided to use League Leader 5 as the average.
Pen name: Da Sangan - If there are dates but not jujube, what if there are dates?
When I first started writing online, I didn’t know how to write, so I came up with a pen name like this.
This is my fifth book, and it is also the fifth pole I have swung out, hoping to see fruit.
At 12 noon on Wednesday, let’s help a dream come true.
………
………
I recommend a few books by the author’s friends. If you like them, you can read them.
[Becoming a God from the Water Monkey] Fantasy novel.
[She is cute and has a thousand tricks] Dog food article.
[In my first year of school, I took my counselor home] Dog food.
[Female Professor’s Celebrity Boyfriend] The author is here.
………
Forgot to mention a very important point.
The author has finished writing the book on the street as usual, and his grades are getting better and he will no longer cut the book. You can subscribe with confidence. It would be better if you can open an automatic subscription.
Thank you all for accompanying me all the way before it goes on sale, and I hope to see you all after it goes on sale.
——Play three poles, written in the night when I am eager for results.
