Now that the book is finished, I feel relieved but also a little regretful.
Although the data of this book is extremely bleak, I have been writing it for more than a year, and I feel a little reluctant to let it go, just like I am raising a child myself.
This book was uploaded on August 4, 2019 and ended on August 31, 2020. As the first book, it is not easy to persist until now. 392 days and 1.9 million words. I think many people can't persist, not to mention the data is so bleak.
Even though I have written 1.9 million words, I still finished this book hastily because I felt it was time to finish it. After all, school starts on the 30th, and I am already a senior and have to prepare for an internship.
To be honest, I have to thank the editors Qilin and Shengxia. As this is Meng Xin's first book, I was so excited when I saw the short message about the signing.
And this short message came just in time.
The subscription of this book is very poor, but fortunately, I have full attendance and creative guarantee, which is also my motivation to persevere.
Why do I say this? Because my father fell ill in early 2019, and it was a serious illness. It cost a lot of money and the family savings were almost drained. At that time, I was in the second semester of my sophomore year, and I had an older sister who was also in college.
I had the idea of writing a novel in the summer of 2017 when I graduated. However, my level was not up to the signing standard at that time, so I gave up. Then it was April 2019 again. Due to family changes, I once again thought of writing a novel to make money - I didn't ask for much in royalties, as long as I could earn a little by doing my best.
However, I was at an external station at the time and still couldn’t sign a contract.
And so it came to August 2019, and I came to Qidian for the first time. I had heard that it was difficult to sign a contract there, but I still wanted to give it a try, so when this book came out, luckily, I actually got signed.
Even though the results were not good, I signed the contract decisively in order to earn some money and have a good attendance record.
I have been writing for 392 days and asked for leave twice in between, and I used the leave application in exchange for points - I was reluctant to give up my perfect attendance. I chose to end it on the 31st because I didn't want to waste my perfect attendance this month.
Generally speaking, it is not easy to write a good novel. I do have some experience, of course not the experience of writing good novels, but just the experience of writing novels.
For more than a year, in order to write a novel, I was basically busy typing at home and in the school dormitory, and rarely played games.
The total royalties from this book were probably only a few hundred yuan, plus full attendance and creative guarantees, it was probably less than ten thousand yuan, but I was also very satisfied. At least since then, I have never asked my family for money again, and at least I can be self-reliant.
In addition to this book, there is another book being serialized under another pen name. Of course, the data is still bleak. I have already applied for early listing. It has less than 200,000 words. I plan to use the creative guarantee in September and October. Although it is not much, it is enough for one month's living expenses, so that I can save the money I have.
It is said that one can become a god after selling a million copies. This book is about to sell two million copies. I haven’t achieved godhood yet, but I know what persistence and perseverance mean.
I originally wanted to persevere for another month and complete 2 million words, but I really don’t want to write anymore, and I don’t have that much time left.
This book is not complete, but I have no choice but to stop here. If I have the chance, I will continue to write books under this pen name in the future. At that time, I will carefully plan the outline and strive to write a truly good book.
Goodbye!
