The past month has probably been the most painful month in my book writing career.
Because the protagonist in my book "traveled" to a continent where "cultivation" is the main focus.
Friends who often read online novels may be familiar with this plot. After many novels develop to a certain level, they will "travel" to other continents and continue their development career.
But this is my first time writing this kind of plot.
Friends who are familiar with me know that I used to write mainly about school, but later the school stopped writing, so I changed to writing about cities. The most exaggerated plot I have ever written is that the protagonist dominates Japan and the United States.
There are two main reasons why I write about time travel this time.
First, censorship is becoming more and more strict. In the original urban world view, no matter what is written, it is forbidden, forbidden and forbidden. No matter how many sensitive words are replaced, the whole book may be removed from the shelves overnight.
This kind of situation is not unprecedented. "Delinquent Youth" is still banned, "Who Will Confront", "Young King" and "The Dragon Heads Up" have also been blocked. It was me who sold a "old author"
I went to see the editor-in-chief and he unblocked me.
But the editor-in-chief also warned me not to write similar books in the future.
When writing this book "The Best in the World", I also tried every means to avoid sensitive plots, but it didn't work. As long as you are in this world view, no matter what you write, you may be banned.
It's too difficult, it's really too difficult. If you don't write a book, you will never understand that feeling.
When I write a book now, the first thing I think about is not whether the plot is exciting or not, but whether it can pass the review!
When I write a book with this idea in mind, I have already lost more than half of it.
Having said this, some friends may ask: No, I read xx’s books, and he writes about everything. Why is it okay?
I can only answer: I don't know, I don't know.
Just because others can write, doesn't mean I can write. I really tried my best, and if it doesn't work, it just doesn't work.
Second, I am tired of writing this kind of plot all the time.
Regardless of whether it is a campus novel or an urban novel, to put it bluntly, it is just those routines, either dominating here or dominating there. Each author's expression method is definitely different, but to put it bluntly, that's what it is.
I feel that within the scope of what I can express, I have basically written it over and over again, and I can’t write any more.
Especially when I was writing "No. 1 in the World", a combat robot was invented in the Rus continent. I was actually very sad. Isn't this a variant of the human transformation in "The Dragon Raise Its Head"? Can I still write something new?
Coming?
So I decided to just cross over.
First of all, I have to admit that this book did not include the "time travel" project in the original plan. It was purely written by me. When Yanzu and Yun Zhongzi were mentioned again and again, I suddenly wanted to write about them.
Personal story.
How to bring them back to life and have a certain intersection with the protagonist?
This is where the idea of "travel" came into being.
I know that many other books have time travel, but I don’t know if anyone has written about my kind of time travel: fighting a boss, and suddenly traveling to the boss’s ancestors...
Hahaha, it’s so funny, so unconstrained!
When I first wrote this kind of plot, I was very scared and nervous. I didn't dare to read the comments in those days, but I knew from some clues that there must be a lot of people criticizing me, and many people were shouting.
Abandon the book.
I didn't say anything, didn't answer, and kept writing hard.
After writing books for so many years, I have long understood that whether readers like your books or not has nothing to do with whether your writing is realistic or not. The problem lies in whether your writing is good-looking or not!
Your writing is not good, but even if you describe it truthfully and restore social life, no one will buy it.
Your writing is beautiful, even if it is as exaggerated as to worship Sun Wukong or Erlang God, readers will be happy enough to give you a big thumbs up!
In e-sports, food is the original sin.
Online novels, not good-looking is the original sin!
If my book hits the streets, it will only be because the writing is not good, not because of the time travel!
So again, this is my first time writing this kind of plot, and I don’t know if I can write it well.
I’ll write it, and you’ll read it!
Okay, now let’s talk about the second thing: asking for a drill.
Writing these two words, I can only sigh deeply and feel helpless.
I don’t know when “seeking a diamond” became such an unspeakable thing for me.
Every time I talk about asking for diamonds, there are always people in the comments who say: If you don’t add more updates, do you still want to ask for diamonds?
Seeing comments like this makes me feel indescribably sad.
Don’t I update it every day?
I update two chapters every day, one at 11:30 am, one at 3:00 pm, and this chapter will be updated at 8 pm!
And do you know that most authors only have 2,000 words per chapter, but I only have 3,000 words per chapter.
I write three chapters a day, which is nearly 10,000 words!
More than the four chapters of some authors!
In terms of diligence alone, I can rank in the top 10% in Black Rock, and even in the entire Internet literary circle!
No matter where I am, I dare to say this with my chest beat high!
But in fact, my most comfortable state is two chapters a day, which is six thousand words.
One chapter in the morning and one chapter in the afternoon, so you can take a break at night, spend time with your kids, watch TV, etc.
When I first came to Black Rock and started writing "Who Will Confront Me", that's what I did, 6,000 words a day, easily.
But later, some readers said, why not add an update? Everyone is happy, so I will add an update.
At that time, I was embarrassed to refuse readers, so I was cruel and said that I would add more chapters!
For every 500 gold diamonds, 1000 recommendation votes, or 1 jade pendant, one update will be added, and for every crown, ten updates will be added! (One update is added per day, not all at once.)
Because apart from clicks and subscriptions, these are the most important data about a book.
In order to activate the data and for everyone to enjoy watching, this rule was set at that time.
At that time, an author friend of mine tried to persuade me not to do this. He also said categorically: If you update two chapters every day and occasionally add a chapter, readers will be very surprised; but if you add chapters every day, readers will be surprised.
It has become a fixed three chapters. Over time, readers will form a habit and they will take it for granted. Not only will they not be surprised, but they will blame you for staying the same. Why can't you add updates occasionally? Even if you don't add updates occasionally, they will still
Scold you!
But I ignored it because I felt that since I could write three chapters a day, I should write three chapters and not let the readers down.
As a result...my journey of adding more updates has never stopped!
A book is written from beginning to end, from beginning to end, without stopping for a day!
Here, I would like to thank those friends who voted for gold and diamonds, voted for recommendations, and rewarded jade pendants and crowns. It is you who have maintained this update from beginning to end.
But my rest is completely gone. After writing in the morning, I will write in the afternoon, and after I finish writing in the afternoon, I will write in the evening...
I write every day, from Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday, holidays, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day...
There’s not even a day’s rest, there’s not even a day’s rest, friends!
I was coding when you were playing outside, I was coding when you were watching a movie, I was still coding when you were drinking with your friends...
Of course, I do this to make money, and this is the job I choose. Most online writers are like this too, so I won’t say much more.
But the problem is, the prediction made by my author friend has really come true!
There are really readers who complain that I remain unchanged, and there are readers who really complain that I don’t update it?
——Even if I really stay the same, even if I really don’t update every day, and keep updating steadily, rain or shine, 365 days a year, then... I can be called a "model worker", right?
A gold diamond is not too much, right?
The contract for the website clearly stipulates: 5,000 words will be updated every day, and you can take one day off every month.
But I always exceeded my quota and never took a day off.
So, when I asked for diamonds, I saw some friends all saying: If you don’t update, I won’t vote for diamonds.
I was really on the verge of crying, speechless, and felt even more desolate deep in my heart.
Now that I think about it, my author friend is really a master of psychology.
Faced with this situation, I don't know what to do.
In the future, I will still ask for gold diamonds when I should. I just hope that everyone will stop making comments like "If you don't update, I won't vote for diamonds."
Because, I really update it every day!
Finally, please drill!
I want to be honest!
