The sun was shining brightly at noon, scorching the earth like a furnace.
Even the wind blowing in from the window brought a burst of heat, causing waves of heat.
"Didi didi."
I moved the mouse and clicked on the QQ message sent by Time Editor.
He is the gentlest, most down-to-earth, and most caring editor I have ever encountered.
Every time he calls me, I will be very touched, "Brother, it will be on the shelves at 12 noon on Monday the 18th, please save the manuscript."
I felt a chill in my heart, knowing that I had missed out on Sanjiang and the promotion, and the promotion was over, so I wasn’t too depressed.
For a street kid like me, being able to write this book and reach this point is already a very lucky thing.
So after comforting myself for a while, I sat at the computer desk by the window, opened the music software, and clicked on my favorite song.
"Daoxiang".
“If/you complain too much about this world/if you fall, you won’t dare to move forward/why do people have to be so fragile and depraved…”
While listening to the familiar melody, I skillfully opened the author's backend and saw that the collection number showed 11130. I felt a little excited and uneasy in my heart.
At this moment, my thoughts were ups and downs, and I thought of many, many things.
The last time I wrote about fantasy on Qidian was three years ago, 19 years ago. I wrote it under another account. I collected more than a thousand pieces and put them on the shelves. In the end, I ordered them all for over 100, and ended them in a scribble.
The last time I wrote about fantasy was seven years ago. I wrote under this name in Chuangshi. I ordered double digits and insisted on writing until the end of 1.55 million words.
The last time I wrote it was also at the starting point, eight years ago under a different account number. I ordered it in double digits and insisted on writing it until it reached 1 million words.
Looking back on my experiences along the way, ten years of ups and downs, groping alone, so much sadness and helplessness, only I can understand.
Now, for the first time at Qidian, I am writing a book that has been collected by so many people before it was put on the shelves. How dare I not write it down well?
So I put my hands on the keyboard and started typing.
[Remarks on the launch: There will be times when the wind and waves break, so hang up your sails and sail across the sea!]
I nodded with satisfaction.
I feel that this title is really suitable for my experience of writing a book, which I have experienced many battles and failures.
So I was so inspired that I continued to tap.
[After ten years of writing a book, I am once again faced with putting it on the shelves. To be honest, this book is the most difficult and painful one Xiaohuo has ever written.
In this book, Xiaohuo overturned his previous writing habits.
Also abandon the cool and irritating writing, and follow the two principles of one purpose.
The purpose is to tell good stories.
The principle is to portray the personalities of characters and animals and maintain the smoothness of the plot.
This makes it very painful for Xiao Huo to write. How painful is it?...]
Just when I was coding heartily.
Suddenly, a long head came over and appeared in front of me.
My eyes widened in fright, and I almost jumped out of the chair, "Why did you run out?"
The red-crowned crane leaned its head over, looked at the computer screen, then turned to look at me, with a look of contempt in its eyes, and opened its mouth and said, "Are you so light because of your shamelessness?"
I was immediately furious and slapped the table, "What are you talking about? These are my true feelings, okay!"
The red-crowned crane smiled contemptuously, "Haha, you are so anxious."
I had long disliked this red-crowned crane and was about to fight it back.
The little rabbit, wearing sunglasses, swaggered in, jumped on the table, held my hand with the soles of his feet and said.
"No! You can't be miserable and vomit too much, otherwise readers will not have the patience to read on. Listen to me, be simple and rude! Just write, lend me 100,000 yuan to order today, and tomorrow I will sweep the internet literary emperor!!"
What?
Even Guaiguai...
My eyes widened even more.
Why did they all escape from the book?
I quickly turned around and looked.
really!
Meng Gungun, Xiao Qing, Xiao Bai, Ah Li, Little Squirrel and other big monsters all appeared in the living room.
They all looked over with smiles on their faces, and then started doing their own things.
The little squirrel jumped on the table with a stack of nuts in his arms, humped the little rabbit with his body, moved the keyboard in front of me, and motioned for me to continue writing.
I swallowed my saliva, took a few deep breaths, calmed down the shock in my heart, and continued writing my speech.
[Well, let’s put it this way, the current number of words in this book is 130,000, and the outline alone is 23,000 words, not including the outline of the subsequent plot.
It can be said that before writing each chapter, Xiaohuo will first write a detailed outline of about 500 words.
I will also conceive scenes in my mind first, and then describe them in words, trying to make the sense of immersion stronger.
There are also various interactive scenes of the animals, as well as battle scenes, Xiao Huo uses animation to describe them.
Try to write something interesting and exciting so that everyone can experience the immersive reading pleasure.
From the current point of view, Xiao Huo has done quite well. At least he has written down all the scenes in his mind.
Therefore, this book took a lot of time to conceive of the plot, and the writing process was also very painful and painful.
Of course, this book is also written very carefully, not to mention meaningless characters and plots.
For example, every time an animal appears, Xiaohuo will use one or two sentences to shape their character and leave an impression on everyone.
And that night on the top of Qingcheng Mountain, a phone call from Xu Xinyan’s brother contained two foreshadowings, and was also a turning point in the subsequent plot development of the siblings.
When that chapter came out, Xiao Huo guessed that some book friends would talk about it.
Xiao Huo did not refute it. Only after writing this plot, book friends will know the purpose of Xiao Huo's writing...]
As I write this, I look at Ahri on my right.
It was standing next to the mouse, with a curious look on its face, and cautiously reached out to touch the mouse, then quickly retracted it.
I saw curiosity and doubt shining in its eyes, and I saw it turn its head to look at Xiaobai.
I couldn't help but smile knowingly and looked at Xiaobai.
Xiaobai used his tail as a stool, sat next to me, put his elbows on the table, rested his chin on his palms, and looked at me with a smile.
When I looked at her, she was looking at me.
At that moment I suddenly understood the meaning of that sentence.
"The grass is bearing its seeds, the wind is shaking its leaves, and we stand silently, which is very beautiful."
When Xiaobai saw me looking at her, she immediately raised her fist and threatened me, "Hurry up and write! Otherwise I will put you in a small dark room and put a bunch of blades in it, hum!"
After speaking, she touched Ah Li's head.
Ahri nodded seriously.
So I smiled and continued writing.
[Actually, Xiao Huo has a little selfishness in this book.
In addition to wanting to make the plot more enjoyable and enjoyable.
I also want to write some sentimental plots and portray some clear and clear characters and animals.
Let me tell you secretly that Xiao Huo has another wish.
I just hope that when everyone reads this book, when they close their eyes, three-dimensional animals and characters with distinctive personalities will appear in their minds, and a happy smile will appear on the corners of their mouths.
In this way, Xiaohuo's purpose of writing this book will be achieved.
Of course, this goal is difficult, but I am willing to try, work hard, and write with 120% sincerity and heart.
And in this process, there will be twists and turns, and it won't be smooth sailing.
So in the future, everyone may come to scold Xiaohuo, author, you bastard, return my tears...]
At this time, a pile of nuts held by the little squirrel scattered on the keyboard with a "snap".
It started picking them up one by one.
Suddenly, its movements stopped and it stared at the word "effort" on the computer screen, looking left and right for a long time.
Then it clenched its little fists, turned to me and said, "As long as you work hard, there is nothing you can't mess up."
Hearing this taunt, I almost smashed the keyboard.
I didn't expect that classmate Xiaoluo would turn out to be such a poisonous squirrel.
It's a rhythm that makes me cry!
But when I calmed down and looked at the little squirrel, I smiled again.
It would be a very happy thing to have such a little squirrel by my side in life.
Well, it's best not to let it talk, just like the red-crowned crane.
I shook my head and smiled, reading the testimonials, and silently thinking in my heart, after writing about my past and this book’s experiences, I should write down the rules for additional updates, right?
But considering my hand speed, I think I should be more cautious.
So I thought about it and decided to write it like this.
[After this book is put on the shelves, on the basis of the guaranteed two updates, one chapter will be added if you reward the helmsman, five chapters will be added if you reward the leader, and ten chapters will be added if you reward the leader.]
I thought to myself, 'No one's money comes from the strong wind. If I don't update it more, how can I be so embarrassed to thank you?'
To be more optimistic, maybe after writing this book, there will be no more helmsmen and leaders?
As for subscriptions...
I thought about my ten years of experience writing novels at Qidian. The highest number of orders was more than 200.
Although this book has more than 10,000 collections, I dare not have too high expectations. If I keep my expectations low, I will not be disappointed and I can write happily.
Then let’s set the order for this book at 300 per order.
Every time I write a new book, I have to surpass my previous achievements.
So I wrote like this.
[On the basis of 300 uniform subscriptions, for every additional 100 uniform subscriptions, one more chapter will be added, and it will be valid until the book is completed. 】
In fact, I would like to subscribe to one more chapter and add an updated chapter. I would like to express my gratitude to every reader who has subscribed to the original version.
Of course, this can only be thought about and you have to act within your capabilities.
At this time, Ah Li asked in a coquettish voice, "Do you still have monthly tickets?"
I reacted immediately.
Of course, I would also like to thank everyone for their monthly votes.
[As for monthly passes, just order 100 monthly passes plus one chapter, which is valid every month.]
As I write this, my ears suddenly hear voices from all directions, all expressing the same meaning.
"Dah, Dah, don't write like this, you won't be able to stand it."
I said loudly, "I can handle it."
"You can't stand it!"
My eyes were still firm, "I can bear it! Even if I still owe debts in the end, I will still use women..."
"Really? That's good. Keep working hard, uncle, let's take the first step."
I was suddenly startled and quickly looked at Xiaobai and Ahli.
I saw them all smiling brightly and waving to me.
Then the red-crowned crane took elegant steps, first put its head into the computer screen, and then kicked its legs outside a few times.
The little rabbit wore sunglasses, waved with his back to me, kicked the red-crowned crane in the butt, and walked into the screen laughing.
The little squirrel threw a bunch of nuts into the screen and jumped in.
Xiaobai held Ah Li's little hand, turned his head and winked at me, smiled, and blew a kiss, which made me feel as if I was about to soar.
Ah Li turned around and waved, and said in a sweet voice, "Goodbye, see you in the book~"
Xiaoqing took off her apron and tidied up the room, making it clean and bright, like the night sky washed by rain.
She also cooked a table of meals, and the aroma filled the whole house.
I followed her into the room, jumped into the screen, and left a sentence that echoed in my ears.
"Keep up the good work and make all the friends who like us happy."
I immediately laughed. It is really a matter of pride and happiness to be friends with book friends who like Xiaoqing.
At this time, Meng Gungun walked in carrying a piece of bamboo, followed by a row of red pandas.
Meng Gungun's figure gradually became smaller. As he walked into the screen, he said, "You are not fighting alone. You have us. You will not be alone. Goodbye."
I was so moved that my eyes turned red.
It’s not easy for it to understand my difficulties, and it’s rare to find a close friend.
The cheetah walked at the back and gave me a meaningful smile.
Then it dropped a sentence, rushed into the screen, and disappeared completely.
"If you write your speech like this, your subscription will be stable! You will definitely be the master of next year! Go for it!!!"
I was so frightened by these words that I slumped down on the chair, my eyes were dull, and I thought it was over, this book was destined to be sold out!
What should I do?
Is it too late to kill this milk leopard now?!
(End of extra chapter 1^_^)
…
Spoiler time: There are two big foreshadowings in this extra chapter.
Why is it a small mobilization and not a full mobilization?
Why did I only listen to the beginning of the song "Daoxiang"?
When one day everyone is moved by this book, and then read this extra chapter, you may have a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and then want to kill someone.
Haha, thinking about that scene, it is still very interesting and interesting.
Of course, I hope Xiaohuo can have the motivation, confidence, and perseverance to write there.
I also hope everyone can see it.
Because, only if we go in both directions can this book become more meaningful.
Only then can all the scenes in the book become beautiful memories.
Only then can this story, many years later, still shine in your hearts.
The biggest internal reason that makes Xiaohuo full of motivation, confidence and perseverance to write is the subscription of each of you.
So here, Xiao Huo repays everyone with the utmost sincerity.
"Please be sure to subscribe."
Because this story is still very fun, interesting and interesting.
Xiaohuo writes with all his heart, and thinks he is worthy of everyone’s subscription.
After it is released, Xiaohuo will maintain its original intention, devote more enthusiasm and enthusiasm, work hard to write this book, and repay you who have supported it all the way.
So, thank you for meeting me in the summer in June and cicadas singing in July for your company.
Thank you all for your likes and votes along the way;
Thank you all for your patience and tolerance while waiting for the update;
Thank you all more for being willing to accompany Xiaohuo to have such a dream.
I am lucky enough to meet you in this book, and I will never say goodbye again.
Everyone, see you in the books, see you on the shelves, and see you every day from now on.
Love you,biu?(′???`)
