Year-end summary and request for guaranteed monthly pass for January
Before concluding, I would like to wish everyone a happy New Year’s Day and a happy New Year!
Looking back on this year, it has been full of ups and downs. I started writing the book in January this year, and it was still on the rise until May.
The editor who had been following Lao Li since he started writing Gourmet couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked Lao Li to try to switch to writing urban stories to see if he could live another life. To be honest, Lao Li was really moved at that time...
But I was still a little unwilling to give up, and wanted to write another fantasy novel, and then this one came about.
The book's debut performance was average, and the first order after it was put on the shelves was only 2,000, which was far behind the previous Gourmet, Creation, etc. However, under the new rules of Qidian, Lao Li was very satisfied to get such a first order.
After all, I can still feel that I am somewhat out of sync with the overall subject matter, writing style, and rhythm of Qidian. I am already satisfied with the 2,000 order quantity, so I started to write in burst mode. Overall, the first half of the year was spent in confusion and failure, and the second half of the year... was spent in roaring and bursting.
I didn’t take a break even though I got mycoplasma pneumonia… Lao Li also felt that he was invincible. Of course, the main reason was that he had to earn money for milk powder…
Qidian is now increasingly struggling to make ends meet by completing books, and Lao Li's royalties are no longer enough to support his family. After all, Lao Li has to bear the burden of a mortgage and a car loan, two huge burdens that weigh down middle-aged people. The feeling of not being able to earn enough money to support his family is really anxiety-provoking, and anyone who has experienced it should know it.
Therefore, Lao Li can only risk his life to continue updating the content.
I pushed myself a little bit. I didn't expect that after writing for almost ten years, I could still be popular...
Seven months, three million words, and even the certified top scorer of Qidian. I don’t know how I managed to stick to it. Sometimes, after typing for three or four hours a day, I would just stare blankly at the computer because my mind was completely empty…
2024 has passed and 2025 has begun.
In the new year, I will continue to encourage myself and work hard. After all, I am the one who has to support my family and I cannot relax.
I originally planned to take a break last month, but I still ended up updating 484,717 words, an average of about 16,000 words a day, which is still very impressive given my current starting point.
The 450,000-word update that was promised last month has been completed.
In the new year, we must not slack off, but must adjust our state and keep moving forward. We should still set a goal for next month. However, the book will become increasingly difficult to write later on, so let’s set a goal of 400,000 words.
So, with Lao Li working so hard, can you guys vote for Lao Li with your guaranteed monthly tickets in the new year, so that Lao Li will have more motivation to keep going! New year! Keep working hard!
In good health!
Please recommend me, and please support me with your guaranteed monthly tickets! Lao Li, thank you!!! Finally.
Happy New Year, heroes! (End of this chapter)
