Farewell to the old and welcome the new year A letter to book friends in 2023
Bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, welcome 2023! (A letter to book friends in the New Year)
The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.
Thousands of households exchange old talismans for new peaches every day.
Well, although firecrackers are not allowed to be set off now, we still have to pay New Year greetings and wish all my dear ones a happy New Year.
(`) Be careful
I wish you all the best in the new year and all your wishes will come true. I wish you perfect scores in the student party examination and smooth studies; a successful career in the work party and a happy family. In addition, I would also like to wish those who have difficulty losing weight like me a happy new year.
S size!
Well, according to the event process, it is time to summarize last year - what I want to say the most, I can say a thousand words in one bow, thank you all for your tolerance for the shiitake mushrooms last year.
A lot of things will happen in 2022.
In terms of family, Shiitake became pregnant at the beginning of the year.
The first trimester of pregnancy was a bit unstable, and the update changed from a stable double update to a single update. The key is that I received the annual gift of Yuewen this year, saying that I have updated 1.072 million words without stopping. I am ashamed, this is not the output that a full-time author should have (but
It’s really fun to be alone. It’s easy to go from being frugal to being extravagant, but it’s hard to go from being extravagant to being frugal. I’ve been doing this for a whole year, and now I’m a little panicked.) Fortunately, there was almost no pregnancy symptoms. I had some energy loss in the third trimester, and finally on December 15
I would like to bring you a leather jacket today.
In terms of career, it is also the most exciting thing for Shiitake. Because of everyone's strong support for "Retreat from Me", this book has received 9,000 subscriptions in an environment where female traffic is sluggish. This is also the tenth year of Shiitake's career.
, achieved such results during the first serialization (when the Empress was finished, it seemed that the average order was 4,800, and the boss was worth 5,000).
In fact, when I chose to write "Retreat from Me", I was very hesitant. I was worried that I would be accused of resting on my laurels. It was also a novel about the Empress. The heroine was either fighting or on the way to fight every day. Was she too violent?
And so on... Later I thought about it, the Empress novel is very niche and unpopular. I don't have many books in this circle, and I want to write it, so why not write it?
With this impulse, I started doing it.
To be honest, when writing an article on mushrooms, you don’t need an outline.
Yes, I don’t have such a thing as an outline.
I also wrote it with a slap on my forehead at the beginning. At that time, I had a vague scene in my mind - a girl with amnesia wakes up in exile - and then I revised it seven or eight times, choosing a suitable angle of view, and it was almost written, and then I took it.
The name of the heroine gives her the qualities that poke my cuteness, she is a roadie, has a big appetite, is free and easy, is not good at painting but is very confident...
Also, I can’t drink enough.
Readers who have been following the update also know that the inspiration for Shiitake Mushrooms came from early years. The inspiration came from the time when I was following the update of "The Supreme Sage of Confucianism and Taoism". I also updated "The Empress", and I thought about what it would be like to fight for world hegemony.
What will happen if you add the element of "following your words" into the process? How will counselors and generals, two crucial roles in war, use their respective talents?
But the shiitake mushroom is a scumbag. Double opening is just a dream.
Now, I can only pick up the throbbing that passed away in the past.
The book "Return to Me" is very much like a scroll. I updated it every day to find out who the characters are (this is a literary term, but it is actually because there is no outline). Qi Shan is the first scribe to appear. At the beginning
He didn’t have that many character designs, they just wrote about it. He discovered that Tang Mei’s force level had not been unlocked and could not defeat the third-class hairpin for the time being, so he arranged for a savior from the sky, that is, Qi Yuanliang. The young scribe officially appeared.
, it can’t be just a passerby, the character’s image gradually became clear in my mind, I knew his name, his past, and vaguely understood why he happened to appear.
The same thing happened when the second scribe Chu Yao appeared.
I wanted to write about a young man who was very proud, but for some reason fell into poverty for half his life, his pearls were covered with dust, and finally met his master. In my heart, he should have the kindness and tolerance of an elder, and the calmness and humility that have accumulated over time.
What should this person be called?
My first reaction was to think of Yao, so I gave him the nickname Wuhui. This name was more like a mockery in the first half of his life, but in the second half of his life, I hope it is just right - when a good minister meets a king, he will be everywhere.
beautiful.
Then there is Gu Chi.
He was not given a name at the beginning. The description of this character was not flattering. His stance was biased towards the villain, and the arrangement of the scribes was the same. Until one day, I was stuck on his name and I didn’t know what to choose. I accidentally thought of it.
He thought of Gu Chi, and then thought of GUCCI, which is homophonic to Gucci, thought of watching the tide, thought of little octopus, thought of octopus balls, and thought of how lonely a person who can listen to people's voices would be. He is used to seeing people's hearts, so he doesn't trust people.
.
Looking at the river tide from a pool of water.
So when he meets Tang Mei, he will definitely be attracted to her.
There are many more characters, including Gong Shuwu, Lin Feng, Tu Rong, Kang Shi, Jiang Sheng, Xun Zhen, Ning Yan, Yu Zi, Liao Jia, Xian Yujian, Bai Su, Lu Jue, Xu Quan, Xu Jie brothers, Lu
Following, Zhao Wei, and of course, Gong Xiqiu.
Old readers will probably notice that Shiitake’s writing habit is that characters often appear first and are referred to by words such as young man, woman, old man, etc., and then names and plots are arranged later. This is all because there is no outline. In fact, this is very easy to overturn.
BUGs and logical conflicts occur, but Shiitake likes this kind of "secret fate".
Of course, there are also cases where the writing is off-center.
For example, for the character Yang Gong, my original arrangement for him was to defend the city for Tang Mei and die on the eve of his reunion with Yang Ying and his daughter. Or maybe Yang Gong lived to lead the army to fight, and accidentally saw a skeleton in the wilderness, which made his heart palpitate for a moment.
, felt pity and helped her to be buried, and then arranged for a beggar who specially touched the corpse to sell it for money to bring out Yang Ying's token. Only then did Yang Gong know that he had met his daughter.
_(:з ∠)_
The result is written that the plot of defending the city was assigned to someone else, and he was forgotten. He survived the death point and is still alive and kicking. I can't force the lunch box, right? Either make up for it later, or take back the lunch box...
…
Alas, it is really difficult to write a novel # Hold the cheek
Having talked about novels, let’s talk about the income from novels.
Thank you everyone, Shiitake Mushrooms can barely make ends meet. After the master's contract expires, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to renew the contract (after all, LV5 will be dropped as soon as the contract expires, which gives people a feeling of not wanting to make progress_(:з
"∠)_).
As for the results...
In 2022, Shiitake got its first monthly vote top spot in life. In fact, this honor should have been obtained long ago, but due to some well-known reasons, everyone understands. Thank you everyone for being asked for monthly votes 365 days and being willing to support Shiitake.
New year, new starting point, new wishes.
I hope there will be more readers, more leaders, more subscriptions (for example, I can get the Wanding badge in one fell swoop, I’m so greedy), I can get the five-star badge (posting posts with the "Empress" in the five-star hall), or...
Emmm, start a new book.
(Wirring wildly) I’m so hungry for the ideas I had before!
Beep quietly——
The circle of empresses is so small, how about another book?
at last--
The road ahead is long, and you and I will walk together.
It is immune to all poisons and has no taboos.
Happy New Yearヽ(°▽°)ノ
Do you want to curse when you see this? It would be nice if the word count of this length were updated normally?
Hey (*^▽^*)
I want to tell you something about digging into my heart, but I accidentally dug too much...
