I already talked about the single chapter yesterday. After that, I was tossing and turning in bed, not sleeping well at all. I also saw a lot of messages from book friends, and I felt very complicated.
I do have a lot of shortcomings. For example, I haven’t kept up with the amount of updates due to personal reasons, so I can understand some book friends who are upset, but what I don’t understand is being unreasonable and using me as a trash can to vent your bad emotions.
I even dare to say that there are many people who are mindlessly scolding, just to vent their unhappiness outside, and it has nothing to do with my book, which makes me very angry.
Earlier, I had closed comments and disbanded a newly formed book club because there were also trolls who kept trolling me, which made me lose the mood to write.
I understand how you feel about liking this book when you urge me to update it. I have also changed from a reader to an author. I understand the hard work of chasing updates. I also have bad feelings and incomprehension caused by the author's inability to update.
It wasn't until I became an author myself and typed out words one by one in front of the computer that I realized that it was not easy for those authors back then.
Putting aside the issue of part-time and full-time work, let me ask, how much effort and time does it take to type out an article that has an average of 2,500 to 3,000 words, connects the previous and the next, is story-telling, reasonable, entertaining, and readers are willing to pay for it?
Do you know the pain of writing and deleting a paragraph over and over again because you are not satisfied with the plot or writing?
However, in the eyes of some people, this is as easy as drinking water. After reading the article that I spent a whole day conceiving the plot and then spending several hours coding, I will only say the last sentence, update soon, what?
So lazy? Why hasn’t it been updated yet? Why is it so slow? Otherwise, stop writing and wait for these words.
Ask yourself, those trolls, you can open a WORD document now, and then try to code out 3,000 words yourself. It must have a story, characters, foreshadowing, and entertaining articles that people are willing to pay to read. Take a look.
How long does it take?
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. As many book friends said, many people expressed their understanding and did not want this book to end. Because of these people’s messages, I decided to break my promise again. I will read this book well.
After writing it, it won’t be unfinished, and it won’t be too messy.
Yesterday, a book friend left a message saying that she is a high school student and her living expenses are 30 per month. It may be a 0 less, or it may be true, but no matter what, it is not too much, but she likes this book very much.
I am very touched that you still subscribe every month, and then give me a reward. Although it is not much, the money I receive from the website may only be a few cents in the end, but this is my heart. For this reader, I
Just want to say thank you for your support.
I will resume updating today, and I will also start to post and reflect on my own problems. I said before that I would guarantee four chapters, but I failed to do so. I would like to apologize to everyone in advance.
My job is a professional course tutor at a university. The school is far away from my home. Although I only need to work 2 days a week, there are no computers in the school dormitory. I really can’t update, and the workload is very heavy. I have classes all day long.
I'm exhausted both physically and mentally, and please understand that I really don't want to explain the update issue anymore because of work.
Maybe when it comes to this, some book friends will ask, you only work two days a week, and you update so slowly for the remaining five days.
What I want to say is, as I said before, writing is not about eating, it is not that simple. This is one, and the other is that I also have my life. You pursue the life you want, and I also have my ideal life state.
, do you think it’s possible for me to sit in front of the computer 24 hours a day without leaving home? What about you? Don’t you need to go out to socialize and play with friends? Don’t you need time to go out and release when you are stressed? So, please
Please understand, I am not a robot, nor am I a computer geek. Sometimes I feel like vomiting when I sit in front of the computer. The reason why I persist until now, 820,000 words in, is just because I simply want to write a novel of my own.
This work would not be possible without the support of you who like this book.
Finally, I would like to say thank you to the book friends who left messages yesterday. Thank you very sincerely for supporting me and standing up to encourage me at this time.
Qin Ze's story will continue and I will continue to update.
