Chapter 66: Thoughts on the release of the book (some words I want to say after eight years of writing the book).

If nothing goes wrong, this book should be on the shelves at 12 noon tomorrow.

The performance of this book is not very good, but fortunately it is not so bad that it is unbearable to read.
To be honest, I have really encountered some bottlenecks recently.

When I wrote my first book, I was still a freshman in college, and I didn’t use this account. I won’t tell you the name of the first book I wrote.

At that time, it was an urban novel, with only dozens of initial orders. The website guaranteed a minimum revenue of 600 yuan a month, and I was quite happy at that time.

After all, we are college students, and we will be very happy if we have some money.

As I was writing, I found that the book could earn me fifteen hundred yuan a month, so I treated my roommates to a barbecue and became even happier.

Later on, he began his road to failure.

And then later in sophomore year?
I wrote a good book and could earn 5,000 or 6,000 yuan a month. I was so happy.
I always walk with my hands in my pockets at school.

A feeling of being invincible in the world~
As a result, because the writing was too difficult, the book was gone~~~~
I was so sad at that time, which caused me a lot of psychological trauma at such a young age as a sophomore. I didn’t sleep well the whole night. Fortunately, I passed the second subject test.

Then one or two books failed? One is an urban novel, and the other is a Japanese supernatural novel? (Actually, this one is not too bad, it makes four or five thousand dollars a month)
Later, I became addicted to "The Snowy Swordsman" and "The Coming of the Sword". They were both so well written. When I was a junior in college, I published a book called "I Have a Lot of Resurrection Coins". It was probably this book that made everyone know me.

After finishing "Resurrection Coin", I started another book "Daoyou, Your Script is Really Good".

What is the most exciting thing?
Because of the book "Resurrection Coin", I joined the website's boutique group. Later, whenever a new person came in, he would say, "I grew up reading your books."

Damn, I was only a junior in college when I wrote this book!
However, the book "Resurrection Coin" is indeed more well-known than the book "Daoyou", but in terms of performance, the subscription of the book "Resurrection Coin" is really not as high as that of the book "Daoyou".

It was the comic book "Daoyou" that was sold first, and then it was the turn of "Resurrection Coin".

So some readers say that my writing has regressed, but I actually don’t agree, because my results are definitely better than before.

But after the book "Daoyou" was finished.

Indeed, I have regressed.

To be precise, I should be confused.

As for writing books, in my opinion, it is very difficult to regress, because the more you write, the more you read, and the more you communicate with other authors, your horizons will naturally broaden and you will see more.

But why do I keep failing?
It was bothering me at the time.

Don’t think that after “Daoyou”, I only opened a flop book called “Fairy, Put Down the Knife”. In fact, I have opened quite a few books.

At that time, I wrote two to three books a day.

Besides being really short of money, I was thinking about finding my own way.

Some of those books have an average subscription of 1200, some have an average subscription of 2000, and some even have an average subscription of 400.
I kept groping, but I couldn't see my way.

Until one day, in the author group, there was a very talented author buddy, who was from the same hometown as me. He said something that made me think for a long time - "I feel that your recent books have been repeating yourself."

Yes
It seems to be true
I seem to be repeating myself all the time.
Here comes the question?

What is repetition?

"Repetition" does not mean abandoning one's "expertise". If someone is good at writing about harems, can you ask him to abandon his expertise? Do you think this is repetition? I don't think it counts.

People are good at falling in love, do you think you should let them give up on love?
That's it.
What I mean by “repetition” here is that I have been “copying myself”. My path has been formatted, and I am bound by my previous successes.

But what I said was too general. In fact, it involves a lot of other writing knowledge and how to play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses. It would probably take tens of thousands of words to elaborate, so I won't go into details here.

To put it simply, to sum it up in one sentence - I have walked my own path too many times, and words have become numb to me, and anything you write will be boring.

So at that time, I temporarily gave up opening the book.

I still want to write fantasy novels, but I want to take another path, a path that allows me to display my strengths in "love" and "heroine character" without making myself feel bored.

Then I turned to writing an urban novel.

The urban plot of my book was a mess, but it brought out my strengths in "love" and "character setting".

The performance of that urban novel is slightly worse than that of "Daoyou", but it is also a great masterpiece.

After the urban novels, I want to write Xianxia again.
Really, I really don’t want to give up fairy tales. There are many types of fairy tales, and I divide my own “Tao” into two types: love fairy tales.

I started to read "love fairy tales" crazily, read books by other big guys, and read books by big guy Ji Cha, trying to see how to perfectly integrate the characters with the plot, how to perfectly combine and separate the protagonist and the heroine, and how to perfectly integrate the plot with the heroine and the hero.

at last.
I am still confused~~~
Then everyone knows about the two books I cut. One was about urban high-level martial arts and failed, and the other was about urban spiritual power revival and failed.

Then this one
Do you think I succeeded in this book?

Obviously, the results of this book are just average. It's not a success.
But, this book should be considered as me putting into practice some of the things I have been thinking about recently.

To be honest, this book has been the most criticized of all my books. I have never been criticized so badly in the seven years since I started writing books.
Either people criticize the plot for being old-fashioned, or they criticize “why is the male lead so bad”.

Especially the two things "bastards cannot take the imperial examinations" and "In Chapter 13, the male protagonist was told by Wang Xuan that his spiritual veins were cut off", my goodness, I was simply criticized to pieces.
However, after writing books for so many years, I have been criticized twice a day on average. In the past seven years, that’s thousands of times. I’m used to it.

I will continue writing this book well and will definitely not abandon it. If I had to abandon it, I would have done it long ago. After all, the editor-in-chief tempts me to write about urban life every day.

If I can break through myself and find the path that suits me best, then everyone will be happy.

If you can't get out, you can only keep going.

Isn't that what life is all about? No matter what, you have to keep going.

Writing a book is just another manifestation of life.

I will definitely finish writing this book seriously.

No matter what the final result is, this book will definitely be of great significance to my journey of writing books.

That's all I have to say. Now I have to finish my manuscript.

It will be on the shelves tomorrow, I will try my best to write it.

Dear readers, those who have money can support us with money, and those who don’t have money can support us with their presence.

Please give me a first order, wuwuwu, please~~~ please~~~
I'm really hungry recently (╥﹏╥)
