Yesterday afternoon, I was sitting in front of the computer in a daze, and suddenly an avatar flashed on QQ. I clicked on it, and it turned out to be Editor A Fei asking on QQ if he wanted to put it on the shelves?
of course yes!
Isn’t the point of writing a book just to get it on the shelves?
Coincidentally, Lao Chen has not logged in to this QQ for a long time. He has not logged in since he contacted the editor of A Fei and the marketing QQ of Yue Wen Xuanting when he signed the contract.
Until the day before yesterday, maybe on a whim, I set QQ to automatically start when I turn on my computer again. Unexpectedly, the editor sent me a message the next day that the book was going to be put on the shelves.
First of all, I would like to thank editor A Fei. It has been more than a year since the last book was published. The previous editor Wu Tong may have been unable to contact him due to job transfers. Fortunately, editor A Fei took Lao Chen in and this book is possible.
The contract was successfully signed, and it has been on the shelves until today.
If you count carefully, this should be the sixth time that Lao Chen has written a book acceptance speech. Lao Chen wrote books very early, and he did not use this pen name before. The things he wrote under the pen name before are no longer available due to well-known reasons.
Just don’t mention it.
In fact, Lao Chen wrote books very early. As early as the summer vacation of 2009, he wrote his first book with the mentality of giving it a try. It was about officialdom writing that was very popular at the time. Unexpectedly, it was very popular. When I finished the book, I collected it.
It reached more than 130,000.
The next book is Anti-Japanese. Because it has the foundation of the first book, it has also achieved very good results. It has collected more than 60,000 copies, and it has reached the top six of the monthly new book list on the website in the first month after it was released.
Looking back now, if Lao Chen had persevered at that time, he might have become a great master now. But soon, due to family and work reasons, he had to finish the book in a hurry when he had about one million words.
A few years later, due to unsatisfactory work, Lao Chen came up with the idea of writing again, and it was still official writing. Because of the long lapse, his past popularity had long dissipated, and his results were not ideal at first, but he gradually began to improve.
When I was working on it, unfortunately, I encountered a crackdown on online novels, and I could no longer write official articles, so I had to give up again.
Then a few years later, Lao Chen returned to his old business for the third time. Because his previous books were blocked, he simply changed his pen name to Chen Benben.
At this time, entertainment novels had begun to become popular, but the first two parts were not well written. Especially the second part, "The Master of Shows", had pretty good results at the beginning, but in the middle of it, my father suddenly became seriously ill and passed away, which completely devastated me.
haggard.
After that, I was in a trance. The scene when my father died often flashed back in front of my eyes. I also often recalled every detail of my father's life. I felt a deep regret that the son wanted to support me but could not be loved by him.
That book collapsed as I wrote it.
In the past year or so, Lao Chen did nothing. He just stayed at home all day, either in a daze or surfing the Internet. Suddenly one day he realized that he could not continue like this and his whole body would be ruined, but he could still do it.
What to do? I’m afraid the only thing I can do is write a book.
Writing a book this time has given Lao Chen new insights. It seems that he no longer has to worry about gains and losses. For example, as he writes, he will look at how many books he has collected or recommended, and then he will ask for votes in various chapters.
of.
My mentality has become much more stable. In the past, when I was writing a book, I would feel pressure to type words every day when I opened my eyes. Sometimes people would become very irritable. But now I no longer have this pressure. On the contrary, I don’t know myself even if I don’t type words.
What do you want to do? Only when you sit down and write can you feel that your whole being becomes fulfilling.
What was once a task has clearly turned into a hobby now.
Yes, coding makes me happy!
At the same time, what makes Lao Chen happy is that there are also you! Since the new book was published, you have gradually come to collect, vote, comment, and reward this book, supporting this book to move forward step by step.
This once again made Lao Chen feel the same passion he had when he first started creating ten years ago.
This feeling is really good, because you are the ones who made Lao Chen feel that he still has value as a person and a goal worth striving for.
Come, let us gather together and enjoy this story of celebrating the new year!
