Chapter 83
After another night of revisions, I finally finished writing the first part of "On the day of returning home, my husband rolled into bed with my sister!"
The plot is roughly about the heroine who married into her husband's family and worked like a slave. She returned home early to visit her parents and found that her younger sister, who was not at her parents' home on the pretext of working overtime, was rolling naked in the marriage bed with her husband in broad daylight.
The heartbroken heroine stepped forward to question them, and was even subjected to a mixed doubles match by the couple. The younger sister poured a basin of cold water on her, saying in a boastful and vicious tone: "Brother Lu and I have been together for a long time. If his mother had not disagreed, it would not be your turn to take the position of Mrs. Lu."
The husband wiped his bloody fist and said coldly, "If you stay home and take care of your parents-in-law, I can still give you some respect. Otherwise, I will ruin your reputation."
…
She plans to write this article in three parts: the first part is about torturing the heroine, the second part is about the heroine awakening after a series of blows, and the third part is about her glorious return, revenge, and abuse of the scumbag!
The next day was the day the store was closed, and the Su family was going to the department store to buy a refrigerator and a washing machine. When Su Miao passed by the post office, he asked his father to stop and threw a thick envelope into the big green mailbox.
Su Yuanzheng just thought that his daughter was communicating with Li Yuanyuan's friends and didn't ask any further questions.
What he didn't know was that Su Miao used his personal information when submitting the manuscript, because if it was successfully published, the royalties would be remitted immediately. If the editors knew that the author of this bloody ethical drama was a child, it would be too shocking.
A few days later, in the editorial office of Echo, several young editors were reviewing submissions.
As a currently very popular magazine, it is the dream of many authors to be able to publish in "Echo", not only because it is currently at the top of the pyramid of domestic magazines, but also because of its very generous royalties.
However, with so many submissions from across the country, the space for publishing only two issues per month is really limited. Only the best of the best can be published. Except for contracted co-authors, if a writer publishes more than four articles a year, he or she is already considered a big shot in the literary and art world.
For emotional stories like the one Su Miao submitted, the royalties will be calculated based on the level of manuscript review. One manuscript can earn more than 500 yuan. The highest fee offered this year is 600 yuan per thousand words, and even punctuation marks are counted.
The atmosphere in the usually busy editorial office was a little different today. Three editors were staring intently at a new manuscript.
After being beaten up, the heroine returned to her parents' home to seek help from her parents, but her parents stopped her from calling the police on the grounds that family disgrace should not be made public, and advised her to be more open-minded.
After all, she is my sister, it is better than looking for those unknown wild women outside.
The heroine suffered a double blow, both physically and mentally, when her sister returned from the hospital with a test result...
The previous episode ended here, and all three female editors let out explosive noises!
Ah!!!! You beast!!!! This is unforgivable!!!
"This scumbag should be tortured to death!!!"
"Being with the heroine's sister is just a scumbag and a slut! No! I need to take some medicine, I can't breathe!"
The editor holding the manuscript slammed it down on the table and shouted angrily, "The most despicable person should be the author! He actually serialized it! He should have written the whole story before submitting it! Instead, he's like holding back a half-taken shit."
The two male editors sitting on the other side, watching their usually polite female colleagues jumping up and down, couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "What kind of manuscript could make you so excited?"
As they spoke, they took it and looked at it. Several female editors, who were deeply immersed in the play and still angry, glared at them fiercely and said in unison: "Men are all bad guys!"
The two male editors were confused and didn't understand why gender-based personal attacks began.
Then, a dozen seconds later, their fists were ready to move, and they watched and cursed.
"Impossible! How could he beat his wife? He's a complete scum! He's a scumbag!"
"Cheating on his sister-in-law??? Does he have any moral integrity? This is simply smearing us gay men!!!"
…
Not long after.
"Huh? Gone? Just like that? What's the test report?"
"Do you have cancer? Doing bad things will bring punishment from God!"
"Could it be... that she's pregnant? What a sin!"
When Chief Editor Wang walked in, he saw his subordinates all gathered together and talking at once. The scene, like two aunts quarreling in the vegetable market, was truly a spectacle in the editorial office.
"What's going on?"
"Editor-in-Chief! Take a quick look at this manuscript! It's a truly astonishing piece of writing! If it were in ancient times, this person would surely be a master at writing unofficial history."
As soon as Editor-in-Chief Wang saw the title, he immediately became interested, and then he saw the pen name "Laoyou Mengmeng Chaozhu Za".
Wow! This pen name is awesome! Among all the fresh and simple pen names like "Time Travel" and "Meet in the Rainy Season", it really stands out.
You've successfully piqued my interest!
The second after she finished reading the manuscript, she stood up suddenly and ran upstairs.
"Lao Yang! Lao Yang! I want to jump the queue! I must have this article published in the next issue."
…
Su Miao had just finished writing the sequel when he received a reply from the editorial department of "Echo".
She was somewhat surprised by the speed of the reply, because she had to wait a long time to submit her manuscripts in the past, and many times even if her manuscripts could be recommended, they still needed to be scheduled. After all, the more popular the magazine, the more submissions it received.
The letter expressed affirmation of the article, stated the magazine issue in which it would be published, and hoped that she could send the follow-up article before the end of the month.
As for the manuscript fee, they gave a high price of 400 yuan per thousand words, which is relatively high among normal submissions. The price of 600 yuan per thousand words for the article they published this year was given after they asked a well-known writer for the manuscript and competed with several other magazines for the manuscript.
The royalties will be remitted after the work is officially published. At that time, a remittance slip will be sent to you according to the name and address filled in when submitting the work. You can just take the remittance slip and identity certificate to collect it.
Because there were traces of revisions on the first draft, Su Miao re-copied the last two articles neatly and sent them together.
With only a week left before school starts, she has already thought of the title for her second article: "My Celebrity Ex-Wife, a Deserter Who Will Never Have Sex in This Life."
I plan to submit it after I finish writing it in the next few days. If it is published, it will be serialized in separate issues. Including the first article, it will be published for three consecutive months. The main point is that there will be no window period.
Increasing the exposure of your pen name can also lay the foundation for gaining fans, which will be beneficial for increasing your royalties in the future.
As far as she knew, magazine royalties would reach their peak in the early 1990s, and some authors with a strong readership base could earn 10,000 or even tens of thousands of yuan for a short or medium-length article.
Sure enough, making a living by relying on your brain is very delicious.
