Chapter 249: Requesting a Week Off or2

Requesting a Week Off or2

Requesting a Week Off or2

I am truly sorry; Ah Guan really wants to keep updating, even if it's just one chapter a day, but I simply cannot hold on anymore. My mind is as good as broken; nothing I take works; I feel weak just standing up and cannot focus at all. Yesterday morning I struggled until the afternoon, and I got up at four this morning to write again. I watched the minutes tick by, yet I have only produced fifteen hundred words of a dull account with no spark, not even knowing what I am writing.

Although the book has only been out for three or four months, Ah Guan started writing last June and has actually been stuck at home for nearly a year. Add to that all sorts of chaotic matters, and my spirit and energy are completely exhausted; my physical state will hardly support another year of writing.

Ah Guan has poured a lot of effort into Ming Long. It achieved the highest first-day subscription of the year so far, ranks in the top ten for monthly tickets, and has over thirty thousand daily subscriptions. Every metric is the best result Ah Guan has ever achieved since starting to write. If I seize this chance and write well, it will surely become Ah Guan's new representative work, and missing this opportunity means I may never have such a chance again in my life.

But I have both the outline and the detailed outline, and I have just started earning income after the book went on sale. Yet due to my own condition, I cannot write, watching helplessly as popularity slowly dissipates. It is truly a pity, and I am truly sorry to everyone for your continued support.

Many readers have privately encouraged Ah Guan and wanted to push me up, but I truly have no way left. Even at my most alert right after waking, my mind refuses to turn. I have tried every method to refresh myself—oxygen concentrators, ginseng, smoking, Red Bull, and so on—but none work. I do not want to take leave, but I simply cannot force out two thousand words. Ah Guan truly does not know what to do.

For this reason, I can only take a few days off to let my body recover on its own, and this is certainly not the only leave I will take. The book is only nine hundred thousand words in, and I do not even know how I will manage to write the next one or two million words under these conditions.

Ah Guan was once a reader too, having followed many books. I know how frustrating it is when authors frequently take leave or stop updating. Everyone, please wait until the book is finished before reading. Ah Guan has kept the original draft for this book, so minor revisions will not affect the reading experience of the finished work. Sigh...
