There Are some Things I Want to Chat with My Book Friends

Unknowingly, [Ancient Red Cloud Avenue] has been serialized for 323 days, which can be said to be close to a year.

When I started writing this book, when it was 100,000 words long, I saw that the collection only increased by a few words every day. I was very worried, thinking that the book was dead, and I was thinking about whether to change it and write it again.

However, I saw that several book friends in the comment area have been encouraging Xiaoguang and giving rewards from time to time. Although there are only a few book friends, Xiaoguang feels that this book must be written because Xiaoguang cannot live up to those encouragements. My own book friends.

Time has moved on, and more than three hundred days have passed. Those book friends who once silently encouraged Xiaoguang, I wonder if you are still there?

When the book reached 250,000 words, it was a turning point for the book. With the support of more and more book friends, the book was recommended by Sanjiang and was forced to be put on the shelves.

Xiaoguang was happy and excited, but it was also the most uneasy moment. He was afraid that the initial order for this book would be too low and he would be sold out. Although Xiaoguang has a formal job, writing a book is just a part-time job for me. .

But Xiaoguang feels that this book is like his own child. He is about to grow up and face a huge test. I am worried that it will die prematurely. I am afraid that if the initial order is too low, Xiaoguang will drop the book.

The first order is 600. Perhaps this book is the worst among the ancient books, but it is still within Xiaoguang's acceptance range. Especially the support from book friends in the few days after it was put on the shelves made Xiaoguang even more motivated to write this book. Book.

Unexpectedly, this book gradually grew. When it reached more than one million words, there were about 7,000 new words added every day, and the sales in the channels were not bad.

In order to thank those book friends for their support, Xiaoguang faced a turning point and quit his job to write this book full-time and strive to write more stories every day.

I spend a long time every day to conceive the plot and write a book that is different from the traditional one.

Now that I am writing a book full-time, I naturally have to increase the amount of updates. After all, Xiaoguang also needs to eat. I have increased the number of chapters from three to five per day. I have been updating thousands of words a day for a month. I feel better than when I was writing books part-time. Be tired.

I have to spend six hours a day coding, one hour to conceive the content, and another hour to read other books to enrich my thinking. After eight hours a day, I write five chapters, which is really tiring.

Perhaps compared to other authors, Xiaoguang is more handicapped. If he has good inspiration, he can write 2,000 words an hour.

But a month later, Xiaoguang found that he could not support himself full-time because he had lost a lot of subscriptions. When he used to update three chapters a day, his subscriptions were about 7,000, but now that he is updating five chapters, his subscriptions have become about 6,000. Not only did he It didn't increase, but dropped.

In desperation, I had no choice but to find another job, otherwise I would really starve to death.

Although I have found another job, I still strive to update five chapters every day. Sometimes on Sundays, I will write a few more chapters as a deposit. After all, everyone has urgent matters. If there is no deposit, I can only Xiao Guang does not want his book to have broken updates.

Now that I have a job, writing books has become a part-time job. I have to type until after two o'clock at night every day, and I also have to find ways to save more manuscripts.

For the first time, in order to thank the book friends who have always supported Xiaoguang, I wrote 20 chapters in one day. These 20 chapters were saved by staying up for an extra hour at night and accumulating over time.

I originally thought that my subscriptions would skyrocket, but the reality slapped Xiaoguang's confident face hard. Maybe it was because there were too many at one time, which caused some book friends to read pirated editions. The subscriptions avalanched, but they turned out to be only five times higher than usual. More subscriptions are less than half.

Although I am a little sad, I have no complaints. After all, I am releasing updates for my book friends who support me. Everything is worth it.

But at this time, some old book friends told Xiaoguang not to update more frequently, or even update five times, because the updates were too fast, and he would go to many book clubs to read pirated copies.

Some author friends also advised Xiaoguang not to update so much. Too many updates will only make readers watch pirated copies.

But Xiaoguang firmly believes that there are many readers who read genuine books. For them, Xiaoguang can stay up late and work overtime to save the manuscript and then publish more.

Finally, when the second update of twenty chapters in one day came, Xiaoguang's heart ached a little.

I get off work at 7 o'clock every night, and then start typing, and stay up until after 2 o'clock, or even 3 o'clock. The archived manuscripts that I have worked so hard to write are bursting out, but what I get in exchange is not as good as the five-minute subscription.

At this time, Xiaoguang really couldn't bear it. She felt a little sad and wanted to cry. I really wanted to cry.

I tried my best to write one more chapter and save it while working five shifts a day, but I could only sleep six hours a day, or even less than six hours a day. The results of a month of continuous work were disappointed.

Although many book friends gave rewards that day, Xiaoguang hopes that you will subscribe. Even if he updates twenty chapters, it only costs two yuan, but this is Xiaoguang's efforts for a month.

Thinking back to the two 20-chapter updates and the five updates every day, it was really bitter and sad. Tears welled up in my eyes, but Xiaoguang would still persevere.

But no matter what happens in the future, Xiaoguang will keep updating five times a day. Even if Xiaoguang gets married in a few months, he will not stop updating.

Thank you to all book friends for your support, and thank you to all book friends for reading it. It can be regarded as Xiao Guang’s sad history!
