After a new book period of two months and five days, this book will finally be on the shelves at 12 o'clock tonight. According to industry practice, I should say something to you before it goes on the shelves.
To be honest, after finishing "Back to 2006", this was not the first new book I prepared.
It's a story about a blind date.
I even had a lot of chats with my editor Qilin about that idea, and he encouraged me to try writing that story.
But in the end, I thought about it and thought about the monthly mortgage payment, car payment, milk powder money for the children, diapers, and other family expenses...
When I think about my meager savings, I get scared.
I didn’t dare to challenge that brand-new subject matter. At least that subject matter was completely new to me, and no one in the industry had ever written about it.
Then I thought about stabilizing my finances, waiting for the savings on hand to be a little larger, and not having so much pressure to support the family, before I try a new one.
With this thought, I thought of my book Eaten by River Crabs 04, which is the best-reputed book I have written in the past few years after the completion of "Rebirth 2003".
I have always felt sorry for its demise.
So, I was thinking about writing another story of the same type as 04?
This idea became stronger and stronger, and the genre of the new book was determined.
But I don’t like repetition. I don’t want the new writing to be too similar to 04. Moreover, I want to try some new writing methods on this subject that I am familiar with, because in the past few years I have always felt that my writing method is not mature yet.
There is still a lot of room for improvement.
I hope that after my writing skills are perfected, I will be able to write works on any subject with ease in the future.
This is a little wish of mine. I know it will be difficult to realize, but I want to try.
Unfortunately - judging from the current data in this new book, I was not successful.
I have a hunch that the first order results for today’s launch will not be as good as the previous 04 and 06. This is a sad and cruel reality.
But I have to face it.
In life, ups and downs are inevitable.
In the more than ten years since I entered the society, I have become accustomed to the ups and downs in my life. I have become accustomed to always failing in what I want to do. I have also become accustomed to the fact that the more I want to write a good book, the less I can do it.
good.
The only thing I can be proud of is that nothing has really knocked me down so far.
It didn't happen before, and I believe it won't happen in the future.
Of course, when a new book is released, I still hope that my friends can support it and subscribe.
After all, I still have a family to support!
If Lao Mu is really starved to death, there will be no future.
The timeline of this book advances very slowly, and the story has just begun. More exciting and interesting content is waiting for you later. As long as the subscription data is acceptable, I promise not to compress the established follow-up plot.
Finally, I would like to thank the editor Qilin, and also thank the friends who have supported Lao Mu over the years, and welcome all new friends!
Because of you, my coding career is enjoyable and not lonely.
Because of you, I think I can write for another ten years, and I hope I can write for another ten years.
…
Finally, let me talk about the update plan after it is released. I know many friends want to see this.
The current tentative update plan is as follows:
Guaranteed updates every day: three chapters, each chapter has 2,000 words.
For every 10,000 recommendation votes: an additional chapter will be added.
For every 100 monthly tickets: an additional chapter will be added.
Leader: Three more chapters added.
Leader: Add one more chapter.
For orders above 1,500, an additional chapter will be added for every 100 increase.
Also: If I still have enough energy, I will save my character and update it from time to time.
(The above is the most sincerity I can show. I am not a tentacle monster, so I can’t promise more. I hope everyone understands and supports you! Thank you everyone!)
