Chapter 67: Thoughts on Going Paid
Uploading at midnight twelve points, there might be a slight delay of a few minutes, striving to explode a twelve thousand.
Maintaining a stable daily update volume of seven to eight thousand every day, as a return for the readers' willingness to trust me.
Then there are some of my personal mental activities.
Since entering the industry, it has been quite a few years, very sorry I still haven't learned how to be a mature author, letting down quite a few readers who truly supported me.
Thump thump thump! Kowtowing to apologize!
I have seriously analyzed myself, and also chatted with many peers; just a few days ago, classmate Baozai Fan still strongly condemned me in the author group, publicly questioning why I shelved "Daokun".
From an author's perspective, he believed I also hadn't written a collapse, the plot content still had a lot of excavation space, clearly it could continue, how could I just abandon it like this.
My answer at the time was, I know what should be written later, but I don't know how to write it well.
Whether author or reader, for the category of "Xuanhuan Xianxia" there has always existed a very stereotyped stubborn impression.
That is "when undecided change maps, thinking exhausted go upgrade, rhythm flat kill a wave of people".
Not once or twice but dozens of times I've heard someone say to me, you only have xxx word count how can you have no content to write, change maps ascend, under heaven invincible enemies from beyond the heavens ah.
Honestly speaking, I don't quite recognize this kind of statement.
If really paying close attention to this Xuanhuan Xianxia piece, readers will discover the top-ranked web novels have long since broken free from the cage of purely fighting monsters and upgrading.
They certainly all put in the effort under "worldview", "story nature", "reading interest" and "subject excavation degree".
Readers may not necessarily be able to perceive, but as a practitioner I often scan the rankings, and then cover my face in lamentation, why are these big shots so formidable.
In comparison, I am like a Resilient Black Iron who hasn't even figured out how to last-hit properly.
Not an excuse, but frank introspection. I feel people must self-introspect, admitting one is not too capable is actually quite difficult.
I and another author also discussed similar topics, the final conclusion drawn was that we belong to the "want this also want that" authors.
We very greedily want to write content that we are satisfied with, readers are satisfied with, high-quality content, harvest praise, thereby obtain continuous positive feedback, enhance creative desire.
But once falling into the predicament of "nothing to do", we start to escape. Because dryly updating a chapter, is like casting a spell against very inferior spell materials, unbearable.
But from the long term view, this kind of behavior of unable to write then subconsciously escaping and procrastinating, will only damage readers' reading enthusiasm, and destroy one's own career.
I often flip through my own previous works, click open chapters I consider written quite wonderfully, fall into self-intoxication, self-lamentation, I was actually this formidable before! Although not reaching Foundation Establishment late stage extreme boundary peak great perfection, but also have several parts of Qi Refining twelve layers style! High or low must be an Outer Gate Grand Senior Brother!
But I will also avoid some not too satisfactory chapters, like after years become greasy, on the road unexpectedly encountering first love's panicked flight.
Not exaggerated to say, every chapter I send out, I know whether it is ultimately good or not.
So, I really truly cannot go update things that can't even get a passing grade. It's not that I am morally noble, purely this behavior would accumulate self-loathing negative emotions, making me feel I am very failed.
I admit, my avoidance psychology is very serious, it permeates in all aspects of my life and feelings.
This is also why I don't build reader groups.
Creation is one of the few things in my life I have persisted in for a long time, although I understood very early that I absolutely cannot be called some talent player, barely able to scrape a living, purely caught a good time.
I often ask myself, ultimately what kind of author I want to be.
The author I most hope to become is Xiao Dai Zhao, he can completely not look at author backend, not care about data fluctuations, even not integrate into the industry, major author groups search no such person, like a little transparent, peacefully write one book after another.
The author I most admire is Yan ZK, no matter encountering any problems, writer's block, inspiration exhausted, progress not too satisfactory and a series of problems, Yan God can all go solve, go breakthrough, and from within absorb lessons and experience, exchange for next book's growth.
As for the author I most envy, uh, naturally is a certain pigeon spirit who wrote two million words in six years and also didn't drink northwest wind starve to death.
Before opening this book "Magic God", I told myself over and over, to mature up, you are already nearly thirty years old middle-aged man, put away childishness and affectation, work hard write, seriously write, keep writing, don't stop.
I printed it out and pasted it on the Computer case, every day facing the Computer can see it.
Additionally, I really really really will make up "Daokun", Ning Hai Chan breaking divine ability, Chen Xing returning to peak, Bai Air Wave becoming Grandmaster, are all content I very much want to write.
Many readers say I have no outline, really wronged, my every time opening a book steps are first think names, then write synopsis, finally repeatedly consider outline, my every work knows where the final ending falls.
Just sense of direction not too good, always love getting lost halfway and collapsing.
This time won't.
Twenty thousand words outline + sixteen thousand words detailed plot outline, let me be full of confidence, ninety-nine ten-thousand matches typing power surging turbulently inside my body!
So, give a chance again ba, begging. JPG
