I have been writing for ten years. From "The Taoist Priest in Jin Yong's World" to "A Monk in Another World" and then to "The Urban Paladin", my results are getting worse and worse, and I am getting more and more confused. I doubt whether I can eat this bowl.
Rice, do you want to give up?＞≥
Last year, my monthly income even dropped to a few hundred yuan.
My wife got pregnant and left her job to recuperate at home. Then the child was born, she was hospitalized, spent money, and took care of her mother and daughter. It was when she needed the money the most, but she ran out of money. Her savings were quickly bottoming out. She had to borrow money to survive, and she doubted herself even more.
Don't find a job to support your family.
At the Qidian annual meeting, I grabbed Wu Dao, a group of chief editors at the time, and asked him to give me some advice on what I should write.
Wu Dao said at that time that since I started out in martial arts, I am also suitable to write about martial arts. Moreover, the starting point of martial arts is being supported and it is slowly rising, so I can write about it.
I decided to listen to him and write about martial arts.
It took three months to carefully conceive and integrate fantasy elements. I knew that I couldn't stick to the old martial arts, otherwise it would be very miserable. I had to innovate and try to adapt to the appetite of readers.
The idea of bringing in fantasy elements was unexpectedly the same as what the editor-in-chief zenk said in his writing guidance. The editor-in-chief zenk came to me and said that my fantasy upgrade system is very good and does not match the new era martial arts he was conceived and promoting.
And He can be regarded as the leader in the transformation of martial arts in the new era.
According to the editor Zenk, martial arts has been stagnant for too long. It is impossible not to catch up with the times. I also hope that my success can lead to more martial arts innovations. But this is all for later. At that time, I wrote the outline and ten
Ten thousand words, I submitted the manuscript to Fan Fan, the editor-in-chief at the time. Fan Fan pointed out the shortcomings of the outline and the beginning was insufficient, so he rewrote the beginning seven times, and was completely shocked.
The collection and response to the new book were very ordinary during the new book period. After it was released, there were only more than 2,000 subscriptions. For a novice, it may be okay, but for a veteran like me who has been writing for ten years, it is very bad.
In the early days of the launch, I was very energetic and wrote ten updates a day. However, later on, I saw no sign of an increase in average bookings and my efforts seemed to be in vain. I gradually became disappointed and despaired. I felt that it was just another servile book. I really
It’s not suitable for me to write anymore. I can’t continue writing online articles as I like. I have to consider finding a job to support my family.
Frustrated, I went from ten updates a day to six and three.
However, two turning points occurred at this time. One was a natural new one. Editor-in-chief Zenk and editor-in-chief Shui Mo helped arrange recommendations. By the end of the month, the number had increased to more than 5,000.
The other one was already very discouraged, when suddenly an alliance leader named Gentle Bandit appeared.
Like a light falling in the darkness, in my previous three books, there were only two or three alliance leaders, and they only appeared in the middle and late stages.
Chatting with the leader, he liked this book very much and wanted to help me gain readers. He gave me a lot of Qidian red envelopes and promoted it in other author groups.
With such support from someone, I had no choice but to work hard, so I regrouped, unplugged the network cable, and worked hard on writing, six updates a day.
But there is more happiness to come. Editor-in-chief Zenk and editor-in-chief Shui Mo, in addition to the recommendations from Qidian, also vigorously arranged recommendations on QQ Bookstore. At the beginning of the second month of the second month, the new book quickly rushed to an average of 3,000, and then all the way
By the third month of the book's third month, readers' support had reached more than 6,000, and the income had increased from a few hundred yuan before it was put on the shelves to 20,000 to 80,000 yuan... and eventually the daily sales exceeded 10,000 yuan.
I have always liked writing. Even when the 24-hour subscription for "The Taoist Priests in Jin Yong's World" dropped to 3,000 or 400 yuan, I still insisted on finishing it because I love it. Even though my monthly income was only 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, which was far lower than that of my peers.
, I have been writing because I like it, but my income is only three to four hundred, and when I have children, I can only give up what I like.
My dream has always been to earn 10,000 yuan a month, and then I can write my book happily without having to worry about life. Even if my talent is not enough and I cannot skyrocket like other authors, I am still content because
Like writing.
For ten years, I have been unable to achieve it. I persisted until now, and when I was about to give up, it suddenly gave me a reward far beyond my imagination.
I can’t be considered successful yet, I’m just better than before. The road to writing online is both easy and difficult. If you don’t have enough talent, you need to persevere and wait for your opportunity.
Thank you for reading, thank you for my new and old editors, editor-in-chief, and thank you for reading on qq. Thank you for my alliance leader. If the gentle gangster who was the first alliance leader had not appeared, I might have given up on this book, and I might have given up on the Internet article.
, and I have no chance to write these words at this time. (To be continued.) 8
