Before the last chapter was published, the average number was just over 10,000, and the exact number was 10,004.
It was a real sigh of relief.
A few days after it was released, the editor-in-chief Ruili said that it is difficult to become a god with one book, but if it can reach the level of 10,000, it will be of great help to the performance of the next book.
At that time, I was thinking, 10,000 yuan is equal to 10,000 yuan, and I, a little kid like me, would never be able to achieve it in my lifetime. But in fact, after being affirmed by the editor, I still had a little expectation in my heart.
What if?
So it was ten thousand.
The current word count is 1.2 million. According to the outline, there should still be a long way to go.
Here is a unified response to those readers who doubt whether I have an outline and whether I write wherever I think of it. There is indeed such a thing as an outline.
According to the convention of a speech, of course, one must first review the mental journey.
Authors who have written experience should know that new ideas will come to mind when they are thinking about the plot all day long, whether they are reading books, watching TV series, watching movies, or seeing a dog walking by their door. It may be fantasy, fairy tale, or...
Cities are both science fiction and history. In short, it may just be a momentary idea, and the prototype of a novel is already there.
The original idea for this book suddenly appeared in my mind when I passed a dog in front of my house.
Well actually it was because of a banana, an angry banana.
Many book friends have always said that this book has the shadow of a son-in-law. In fact, you are right.
It was because I read "The Son-in-Law" by The Banana Demon that I came up with the idea of writing a historical novel.
I like the warm daily life written by Banana the most. There is a hint of pretentiousness in the text. At that time, I thought why this author is so awesome...
What to do? Learn!
Then I didn’t learn...
After reading the story over and over again, I found that even though he was just being arrogant, he still needed to have a solid foundation. He couldn’t learn the inner core, he could only learn to show off invisibly, learn how Banana told stories, and experience the scenes he described...
Of course, I was just thinking about it all by myself. When I looked at Banana’s lecture notes, I couldn’t understand them. Suddenly, the image of Banana took on a new level in my mind.
I failed in studying banana, but I still want to write history, okay, then write it.
In the beginning, there were only two themes, historical and relaxed. The former was influenced by bananas, and the latter was cunning. After reading the old thief’s book, I realized that history can be so funny, so maybe I can give it a try.
Later, I felt that pretentiousness is the core of Internet articles. Here I have to mention the master Broken Bridge Canxue who has helped me the most in this industry. He is the king of pretentiousness in my mind. I learned a lot from him, at least
In my heart, Duan Da is my well-deserved guide in this industry.
Some people also say that it is like Yu Yanda's "The Best Butler", but this one really doesn't exist. I have watched "The Butler" a long time ago, and now I have even forgotten the name of the protagonist.
Okay, history, easy, pretentious and slap-in-the-face novel, that’s it.
Before this, I never thought that I could write historical novels. I am an engineering geek with very little historical foundation. Why should I write about history? I heard that history readers are the most rigorous readers and I am still a novice. I am not afraid of being criticized for writing this...
Later I felt that if I didn’t have a good historical foundation, I could just ignore it, and if I ignore it, I wouldn’t be criticized.
Then I realized that I still thought too much.
…
…
Just having an idea wasn't enough. We had to collect memes and sort out the information. This work took several months on and off.
Of course, it took a long time because I had to go to class and was quite busy. Furthermore, the tone had already been set at that time. It was difficult to write something light and funny. I had to make sure that every chapter had a laugh, and there were too many things to prepare.
I remember I started writing the beginning in early October. I basically kept it to one chapter a day. I wrote more than 10,000 words and submitted it to the editor. I received a reply the next day and was able to sign it.
The book was released on October 8th, and I posted a record on the Tieba on the same day. I kept posting one chapter a day. There were no comments and not many favorites. I tried to promote it on the forum, but others continued to do it. I stopped recommending it in the second week...
Really, it should be about dividing the strength. Afterwards, Sanjiang strongly promoted it. Before it was put on the shelves, it seemed to have a collection of 24,000. I posted the first chapter on the day it was put on the shelves. I refreshed the background and the subscriptions increased rapidly. To be honest, my hands were shaking at the time.
Subscriptions exceeded 1,200 in one hour, 3,008 in 24 hours, top quality on the first day.
It has been on the shelves for 18 days and has been stable at 5400.
The days that followed were more difficult. Although I had been writing books for two years, I was always on the block. I was no different from a newcomer. I was first confused by the negative comments in the book review section.
In addition to trolling the plot, various personal attacks also emerged one after another. When I encountered this situation for the first time, I thought it was just writing a novel. It was more serious than murder and arson. It seemed that those people had a grudge against killing their father and taking away their wives.
I hated him and once had the idea of being a eunuch.
Now that I think about it, I am stupid. I went to places like Youshu.com, Book Chaser, and Baidu Tieba to read comments. I am still determined to persist until now.
Later, I went to read the book review section of my favorite great god, and my mentality suddenly changed. I was treated like the great god. This is going to be popular!
The biggest gain during that period was probably that I lost my heart of glass. From seeing the trolls wanting to go along the network cable and slashing him a few times, to directly banning him so that he could not reply, and then cursing myself...
I think this should be growth.
It has been said to have been overwhelmingly written since it was put on the shelves, and the number of words has been reduced to 1.2 million words, which is an average of 10,000.
I counted the days, six months and six days, 666...
I am writing the story I want to write. Obviously this story cannot satisfy everyone, but there are also many readers who like it, and that is enough.
Thanks to Qidian.com, QQ Reading, and those book friends who have always supported genuine books. The achievement of the little scholar today is due to all of you.
