This book, Sleeping in Autumn, has enough words and is long enough.
In the middle and early stages, the maintenance is pretty good. The monthly updates can basically guarantee between 100,000 and 200,000 words. On average, there are two updates a day, sometimes more. There are often a few days of bursts at the beginning of the month. Occasionally on the monthly ticket list.
I can also see my name, and I even won first place in an update competition.
However, the update speed dropped sharply in the later period. It was about one update per day and a little over 100,000 words per month. Until nearly half a year after the completion of the book, it could not even guarantee 3,000 words per day. It is really shameful.
As a professional Internet author, Suiqiu's performance in the past few months when the book was nearly completed was really far-fetched.
There are many reasons, but no matter how many reasons there are, in the final analysis, it still lies with me. It is always because I am not diligent. I want to apologize to all the readers for this.
Talking back to this book, generally speaking, whether it is Sui Qiu’s perception of the writing of "The Immortal Road Supreme" or the performance of this book, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
Compared with "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit", there is no big breakthrough. If you want to talk about the gains, it can only be said that there has been some progress in the writing method and the control of the plot has become more proficient.
This made Sui Qiu understand that he needed to learn and work hard to improve, otherwise he would be exhausted even if he had some ability, not to mention that he didn't have much material.
Internet literature is cruel and does not allow you to stay where you are.
When many people are working hard to write stories and update them, if you just follow the steps, you will only fall behind or even be eliminated.
This book made me realize a lot and learn a lot.
At the end of this book, many readers sent private messages saying that the ending was a bit hasty and that many things did not seem to be explained very clearly.
In fact, Sui Qiu feels that the main line of the book has always been clear, and ending in this way has basically explained Yang Junshan's affairs clearly.
Of course, there are some small pitfalls that have not been added, and some readers have also provided some suggestions. However, in Sui Qiu's view, these do not seem to explain the details of the causes and consequences. In fact, Sui Qiu has often hinted at the direction of development.
As long as you think about it along this line of thinking, the result is actually very clear. Sui Qiu just didn't express the final result clearly. Going back to the end of the book, some readers, including my editor, think that I
We should not leave an ending that leaves more space for everyone's imagination, but should clearly present the results, because many readers may not be willing to expend their brains to come up with an ending they like.
This was something Sui Qiu only realized later.
It's shameful to say that Sui Qiu was originally designed to have an ending similar to the prequel to The Great Desolation. The plot was probably similar to the one in which Pangu killed all the Chaos Demon Gods during the creation of the universe.
Of course, in the end, Yang Junshan will not turn into all things in the wild after his death like Pangu. Instead, he will be a transcendent being above Pangu and above the big world he created. He will become the most transcendent person who can conquer all the ways with his own way.
exist.
Suiqiu even designed it with hints of being linked to the founders of the Starry Sky World to explain the origin of the Starry Sky World.
At that time, I expressed this ending orally to the editor. The editor was surprised, why didn't you write it like this? Suiqiu's answer was that it felt too vulgar. People had already written it badly in the prehistoric times. After writing it in a big circle, someone discovered it.
It’s just a prequel to The Ancient of Days, isn’t it disgusting to death?
The editor only answered one word: Damn!
The ending of this book has been written and cannot be changed anymore. Moreover, Sui Qiu feels that such an ending is not unacceptable.
Of course, Suiqiu will also update some things about this book from time to time on the WeChat official account, which may include some things that everyone thinks are not explained clearly in the book. If you are interested, you can follow Let’s take a look at “The Manor of Sleeping Autumn”.
As for the issue of new books, Sui Qiu originally had two new book outlines, and even made a special trip to Beijing to meet with the editor to discuss them. However, the two new book ideas were rejected by the editor.
In the words of the editor, Sui Qiu's ideas for the new book can only be quite satisfactory, and if he writes any more, he can only write them in a style similar to "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" and "The Immortal Road Supreme", which will not make much progress.
The editor suggested that Suiqiu take a look at the works of other outstanding authors, accumulate some knowledge, and strive to make breakthroughs in writing new books and significantly improve his performance.
During this period of time, Suiqiu has been immersed in reading several novels recommended by the editor, and has gained some insights. She feels that she has learned a lot, and is now starting to prepare a new book.
Originally, according to the editor's plan, I had to sleep in the autumn, don't be anxious, calm down and make plans, and "strive" to open a new book in March.
Sui Qiu was shocked when I heard it. I will publish a new book in March. How many readers will still remember me?
Sui Qiu is not a great god, nor is he a powerful author. He is just an ordinary Internet writer struggling with food and clothing. Such a long writing window, not to mention how many readers are paying attention and waiting, is just two or three months for Sui Qiu. If you don’t make money, you will fall into panic.
But there is no other way. If you want to write a new book well, you must try your best. No matter whether you can make some progress or not, it is impossible for Sui Qiu to write in a hurry. That is the most irresponsible of you readers, and it is also very disrespectful to Sui Qiu. Qiu's own irresponsibility.
Regardless of the urgency in his heart, Sui Qiu can only calm down and continue to improve the plan for the new book. Only after the overall context of the story is clear and the outline is basically complete, Sui Qiu will try to advance the upload date of the new book as much as possible. I hope it can be uploaded in It was completed before the plan, March is really too long.
Although I am helpless here, Sui Qiu still urges all readers to remember Sui Qiu, and don’t wait for Sui Qiu to open a new book, but have already forgotten Sui Qiu.
Of course, it would be better if you could follow Sui Qiu’s public account.
Regarding Sui Qiu’s WeChat public account, I had been updating it for a period of time, but later I found that there were very few people paying attention to it, so Sui Qiu suddenly lost the motivation to update. What’s more, things became entangled later, and even normal updates were difficult to do, so there was no Updated again.
This time I am updating my WeChat official account. I just hope that during the period before the new book is uploaded, readers will not forget to sleep in autumn.
At the end of this belated speech on the completion of the book, Sui Qiu would like to thank his wife and two daughters, who have always been the source of happiness for Sui Qiu during the serialization and updating of this book.
Sui Qiu would also like to thank the editor Chang He Luo Ri. He has a lot of profound insights into online novels and often gives some very pertinent suggestions to Sui Qiu. Unfortunately, Sui Qiu is not very perceptive. He understood many of the things he said a little late. .
Of course, what Suiqiu needs to thank the most is the new and old readers who have been paying attention to Suiqiu. You are the strongest supporters and source of motivation for Suiqiu's writing.
Finally, today is New Year's Day in 2019. I wish all readers to work hard and chase their dreams in the new year.
