I applied for a contract yesterday and it was approved!
After receiving the news today, I was completely shocked.
I thought that this book would not be signed, so I was already mentally prepared. I planned to start planning in a week to finish this book as soon as possible, and then write the outline of the second book.
I didn't expect to be signed, and I was very happy. Although my first book was not very well written, it was recognized, and I was really happy.
In the past few days, I have been checking various data and supplementing some basic knowledge in the online literary world, so my daily writing has been somewhat delayed.
However, now that I can sign a contract, I decided to set the target for this book to 1.5 million words.
This is my first time writing a novel, and I have never written a long novel before. The goal is a bit low, but I think this goal should be achievable.
I have heard many people say that if you have a million words, you will become a master. According to my survey, if you have a million words, you should know how to write a novel. Only then can you be considered a beginner.
These days, I have looked through the tracks of many great masters and found that the first book written by this platinum master, the squid who loves diving, was only signed after hundreds of thousands of words, and it was not published until 600,000 words. This gave me
A lot of confidence.
Coupled with the various interviews with writers seen on Tieba and forums, many writers talked about the same thing. When writing their first book, they encountered many difficulties, but luckily they persevered. In the end,
Becoming a god step by step.
At the same time, I also saw some negative information. For example, some authors insist on opening multiple websites and living on subsistence allowances, and then talk about how difficult it is for them.
I can understand this. After reading their experiences, I made a development plan for myself.
1. Stay on the largest website.
.asxs. is the largest platform with the most authors and readers. I think the competition for writing here must be fierce, so that you can maximize your ability.
2. Don’t open too much.
I think writing a book requires a lot of time to determine various details and settings, and you have to constantly think about the plot and write more. In the short term, it will be a lot of work, but in the long term, it should be
Not conducive to development.
In my imagination, writing should be constantly improving, at least making progress every month, so that we can continuously improve ourselves, improve our works, and have a broader space for development.
I am relatively stupid, and I am used to doing one thing when doing things. I don’t like to be distracted. In other words, I know myself, but I am not smart enough. If I don’t concentrate on doing one thing, it will be difficult for me to succeed.
3. Persistence.
I have always felt that standing at thirty is a direction. Although I have never succeeded, I have been searching, looking for my direction, looking for a way, a path that I am willing to bet on for the rest of my life, persist, work hard, and fight for.
road.
I have thought a lot, done a lot, worked in a factory, worked in sales, practiced piano, learned vocal music, tried giving speeches, worked as an anchor, worked as a power coach, and also tried to start a business, but they were all relatively difficult, and they were all
Haven't been successful.
This time, I finally found the direction I was heading.
Writing novels is a way to realize self-worth, improve yourself, make continuous progress, improve your life, and lead to success.
At least, in my eyes, this is what this road looks like.
I will continue to persevere, even if what I write now cannot catch the eyes of readers, I believe that through study and hard work, I will be able to become a great master in the future and write popular novels.
I was a little emotional. Maybe I am a very passionate person, otherwise I would not have been able to do sales for two years. The sales from 9 to 11 depended on self-brainwashing and feeding myself chicken soup.
Finally, I would like to give a message to my future self: don’t give up. Think about the past and think about now. Half of your dreams have been realized. Giving up means having nothing. Persistence will bring about the day when you will bloom.
