It is indeed not easy to sign a contract. I tried to invest internally, but failed.
Later, I sent the book directly so that all editors could see it, but it was still not smooth. Generally speaking, after about 20,000 words, an editor will send an on-site notification to tell you whether you will be signed. If there is no such notification, then the book is basically sent out.
Because editors have limited time and they won't read too much, the first 10,000 to 20,000 words determine life or death. Other people I know in the group also said that it's better to cut losses in time.
Maybe I was holding back some anger or obsession at that time, and I didn't want to give up, so I continued writing. When I had written 100,000 words, I applied for a contract.
Generally, at this time, books that are normally signed have gone through 1-2 rounds of recommendations, but at that time they still failed to be signed and were told that they did not meet the standards.
I was sad for several days and even wanted to give up, but some readers still voted for me on time, so I slowly resumed updating and continued writing until I reached 150,000 words.
I applied for the contract again, stayed up late until dawn to receive a reply, but still failed. Then I ate some oatmeal and went to bed very sadly. I woke up at noon and found another notification. This was when I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
I'd like to thank the editor-in-chief of Group 2, Beihe, again. He thought it was okay, so he asked the editors in the group to sign me, and I subsequently transferred to the editorial group.
The contract for 150,000 words can be said to be very "old" among the books of the same period. 00. It was recommended only once in the corner of the web page, and then it is almost 200,000 words and is about to be put on the shelves.
I asked the editor if he had any other recommendations. He said that it didn’t pass the PK in the same period and there were no more later, so I applied to put it on the shelves.
I remember that there were 2100+ collections at that time, with about 180+ first orders, and the subscription ratio was 11:1.
Although I was very nervous, I continued writing with anticipation. At that time, Qidian had just reformed, and there was a protection period for new books in the first three months, which meant that if you had full attendance, you would get 1,500. After three months, if the average subscription was less than 500, then you would not have full attendance.
Fortunately, things got better later on, and I kept writing until the Spring Festival at the end of the year, which was the Spring Festival of 2021. Because the reading was good during that period, the editor thought it had some potential and tried to give me a recommendation, which increased a lot of collections. At this time, the average subscription slowly reached 1,600, and I was finally able to support myself.
Then came the turbulent year of 2021. In the middle of the year, the background of the twilight era in the book was gradually revealed, and it slowly entered the climax at the end of the third volume, with the appearance of the two crowns and the arrival of the Angel of the End, Roland. At that time, the support of the three silver leaders was also gained.
Once again, I would like to thank Mo Shang You Ren for his support from the Silver Alliance. At that time, I said that I would update the game for a month to repay him, but unfortunately I was stuck in a writer's block and couldn't finish it. I'm very sorry.
Then there's the support of Ye Ling Owo, Jing, and the two Silver Alliance Leaders. Ye Ling first contacted me after reading the book on Qyue. She's the original Alliance Leader and the prototype for Ye Ling, a lovely little dragon lady. Jing rarely speaks in the group, so I don't know much about her, but she seems to really enjoy Lagertis's story, which is why I wanted to write a happy ending.
Some of the other dozen or so leaders have never joined the group, some don't talk much, and a few are very active. Thank you for your support, which keeps me motivated. The one who is most special and whom I want to thank the most is Bayun Zi丶, the earliest supporter of this book.
Because the contract failed, I almost couldn't continue writing at that time, but at 12 o'clock every night, I could receive recommendation votes from her and several book friends. Later, on the night when the contract was successfully signed, I also received rewards from two book friends, Bayunzi丶 and Miaorongsosqingqingdi, for the first time.
Lying on the bed, looking at the two names on the white screen, and the long list of Qidian coins rewards behind them, I will always remember this scene. I was extremely excited at that time. The book I wrote was recognized, and I received dozens of yuan in rewards. This was unimaginable at that time, because not many people read the original version, not to mention the rewards of dozens of yuan. I could eat a lot of instant noodles.
Thank you for helping me through the most difficult time.
Finally, let’s talk about the protagonist, little Loran.
There is indeed a previous work that was aborted, and the contract was also failed. It was written by Hedgehog Mao and only had 80,000 words. However, Loran Hill is the original author of this book and has nothing to do with the aborted previous work. It just quoted a lot of background settings.
I like wind and freedom, which is due to my personal preference. Little Loran carries many of the author's beautiful imaginations. Sometimes I wonder if she is too perfect and lacks changes and ups and downs in the plot. But it seems that not all stories have to follow traditional routines. It is a product of the pursuit of fantasy, so let her be more perfect and dreamy.
In fact, people's thoughts and ideas are not absolutely pure, and sometimes they even conflict with each other. The thoughts of some villains in the book are also the voice of their hearts. Don't imagine that Qingkong is the kind of absolutely gentle person (laughs)
Katie was a small surprise. Actually, I didn't expect Katie to be so popular at that time. However, when writing about the silly and simple Katie, I did feel a sense of relaxation. Katie is very dependent on Loran. She is actually very smart and strong. This bond of attachment is hazy and warm, which makes people yearn for it.
Vimiya and Sifnaline were actually two characters at the beginning, but later on there weren't enough chapters to focus on Sifnaline, so the two were slowly merged. Actually, Vimiya is more introverted and quiet, while Sifnaline is more generous and moving.
Brunnard has never appeared in the book, not because she was forgotten or there were not enough chapters, but because we didn't think of her appearing from the beginning. We only explained her appearance and personality. She has black hair and black eyes, and a cold personality. If a sequel is written in the future, she will most likely appear.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
