Chapter 638

2024, Goodbye

Reached the last day.

Too many emotions, wrote a paragraph in Moments, then deleted it.

Probably because I've been writing novels for too long, I'm used to putting things in my heart into a fictional framework.

If I really want to let it see the light of day, how shy I am.

In the past year, often on some morning when I opened my sleepy eyes, or in the deep night when I fell asleep in a daze, a thought would pop up in my heart—

Maybe there will never be a harder year than this in life.

When work reached the time to go to the next level, I couldn't stop.

The novel became popular beyond expectations, and I didn't want to miss it.

So, I took care of both, biting one day after another.

I dare not say I was working day and night, but I don't know if any friends have experienced the moment when you are already drunk, unconscious, but must hold on to the last bit of sobriety, sitting on the bed, holding a laptop to work or type?

Originally wanted to write in Moments:

Having both fish and bear's paw, wind and freedom still remain.

Originally wanted to say in Moments:

Holding secular copper smell in hand, hiding bright moon and clear wind in heart.

Looking back, I just want to scold myself:

Pretending dog.

Where is this kind of ease, as if I waved my hand and sent away this most difficult year in a chat.

In fact, every day I used all my strength to barely take care of everything I refused to let go of. For a while, I was babbling on the official account every day because that period was too uncomfortable.

People can force themselves to a point of being unable to bear, on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, when it reached that time, I turned off my phone, ignored everything, covered my head and slept for a day, and I was fine when I woke up.

Fortunately, compared to many people, at least my efforts were rewarded, my payment was not in vain, and in the end, I had gains and a sense of gain.

Wrote 3 million words in a year, this is a number I didn't even dare to think about.

There are countless places that are not satisfactory, not to my liking, but at least I didn't do it perfunctorily, and fortunately, I met a group of very good readers who seriously saw a circle I was trying to complete from the trembling pen of this half-baked novice, giving me great encouragement to continue drawing.

I am very afraid that this book will be written longer and longer, and finally written into a long and smelly foot-binding cloth.

But often when I write to the point of enjoyment, I think, after finishing this one, I might not write about cultural and entertainment for a short time—I can't write new tricks either. All my conceptions about cultural and entertainment are basically in this book. Then, what is not put in, should it be put in?

I know that leaving blank is the unfinished perfection. But a writer who is not a master, forcing blank, is like a remnant, with broken hands and feet. I can only bite the bullet, like building blocks, trying to build a complete outline.

Said before, not short of money, and don't rely on manuscript fees to support myself. At first, I really wrote because I loved to write. Unexpectedly, this year, I actually received a generous manuscript fee one after another. The two books added up to nearly seven figures. Although there is nothing that needs to spend it, this number is on the card, thinking it was typed word by word, it is also very fulfilling.

【In one look】

This is the biggest harvest outside of work. Life inevitably pursues something meaningful. Work is busy from beginning to end, and I may not be able to summarize a few things that I truly did by myself and contributed to this world, but the novel I wrote can make so many people feel good and gain something, which somewhat filled my question of why I am me.

In 2024, holding the mentality of "biting teeth one day is one day," I insisted on updating for 360 days, working full-time for a whole year.

In 2025, continue to work hard. Wish everyone always loves this world, has wishes in heart, and wishes come true. (End of chapter)
