I can't sleep, and I don't know where to start, so I'll start with myself.
I started reading online novels in 2005. The first book I read was "Soushen Ji", which I read on a learning machine.
I first came into contact with horror novels in high school. I would buy horror magazines with my friends every week and my favorite was Junji Ito’s horror comics.
I am a very timid person and I never put those magazines next to my bed after reading them.
The first time I felt the urge to write was in high school. I wrote a supernatural short story in three days and sent it to a magazine, but it was not accepted.
My biggest wish at that time was that one day when my classmates went to buy magazines, they would suddenly come across the novel I wrote and then say, "Wow, isn't this the guy from our class?"
Unfortunately, this wish has never been realized.
I was in my sophomore year when I really made up my mind to give it a try. I submitted 31 short stories, four novellas, and one novel to magazines, Weibo, and WeChat public accounts, but none of them were accepted.
I wrote a total of 580,000 words of drafts, and the outlines and various ideas filled a drawer, a bit like Yan Danian.
I am not a sociable person, I am very introverted and afraid to communicate with others.
Even now, every time I go to a group chat, I feel like I have to struggle for a long time.
I have always felt that writing a book is a very lonely thing, and I have always been alone in the past.
So the protagonist in my book actually has no friends, the closest person to him is a ghost
It’s actually not easy.
Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s talk about our book
When this book was released, it did very well, so well that I couldn't concentrate on writing.
I took a special leave that day and ended up writing more than 2,000 words. Then I posted an apology chapter on the first day of the release.
I was worried that it would affect my grades, and I was prepared to be scolded.
But what I didn’t expect was that single chapter, just one page, had 680 chapters saying, all of which were encouraging me.
At that moment, I felt really warm.
I apologized on the first day of listing. I didn't know much about the monthly ticket, so I didn't ask for it deliberately.
It wasn't until the end of October that I heard about the Rookie of the Year and the monthly ticket.
I started asking for monthly tickets in a hurry in November. I was so busy that I felt like I didn't do anything well. The gap is really too big.
I was also wavering, considering whether to fight for it. When one of my managers called me and said he was ready to give up, I didn’t expect that the manager would cry. It was also the first time I realized that someone was supporting me, from the beginning of the book to now.
I haven't said it before, but thank you anyway
I posted a single chapter on November 16th. I was determined to quit my job and compete for the Rookie of the Year award. At that time, others were ahead of us by more than 30,000 votes.
Some people in the chapter said that I was dreaming, just like when I was about to write a supernatural testimony on Qidian, ten out of ten people thought I was dreaming
By December 1st, we had surpassed the others by 5,000 votes.
Yesterday when Youmeng and Huanyu were making great efforts, someone added the group to private message me, calling me shameless and saying that I should compete for the Rookie of the Year award based on my performance.
I was blocked, so I can only tell him here that if we really talk about the results, the average subscription of Horror House is more than 10,000 higher than other new competitors, and it is the well-deserved first.
Since the beginning of the competition, I have seen many book friends leave messages. Some friends voted for the first monthly ticket since they came to Qidian. Some friends came to support me by switching from pirated copies. Some friends saved money to give me rewards.
Thank you very much
Now when I see the air conditioner, I can't help but laugh, I feel a little touched
I always thought I was the type to write books quietly, and I never thought that there are so many people supporting me.
Good night~
