Chapter 92: Listing Feelings

I’m going to launch, I’m going to launch, I’m going to launch.

Important things must be said in three.

Tomorrow at noon, it will be on time, may be delayed for a few minutes.

I have been writing for many years, but this is the first time writing a postscript.

This is also the first time for me to launch at Qidian, and I don’t even know what to say.

Apparently, it is very effective to beg for compassion, but I can’t.

Let’s just say something...

First off, I want to thank Editor-in-Chief Biscuit and Nighttime Snack, for their watchful oversight.

Also, I want to thank all the book-loving friends for their unwavering support. Here, have a bear hug!

I’m really thankful to everyone.

To be honest, I was surprised that this book has made it this far.

As an old writer, my expectations weren’t that high.

I’ll keep writing...

Starting at Qidian, for me, is a new beginning. I’m being very careful and trying my best to adjust to the environment here.

About the launching update, I do have some stock manuscripts.

I was originally thinking of launching with twenty thousand words, but in the end, I overestimated myself.

Cough!

Most importantly, I write way too slow...

Oh dear!

Don’t mind me saying, I really write slowly, incredibly slowly.

Every day, I envy the others who can produce two thousand words in just half an hour or an hour.

I am more inclined toward refinement and detail and often spend two to three hours on a 2K word Chapter.

After that, I’ll spend another half hour refining it to make the whole Chapter flow and alter some details.

Of course, the primary focus is deleting unnecessary verbiage.

I’m used to writing long pieces, the flaw of us oldies, prone to ramble.

In a 2K word Chapter, I sometimes delete a few hundred or even a thousand words.

This ends up consuming an excessive amount of my time.

Take this 4K word Chapter for example.

I spent four hours writing it.

And another three-plus hours editing and revising...

Don’t ask me why, but I have no idea what has happened. Perhaps I’ve gone mad? Even though launch time looms, I’m still wasting time on revisions, but I just can’t be half-hearted.

Moving on.

As for future updates, I will try to update more upon launch.

Twenty thousand words is unachievable, and my stock of manuscripts is limited.

I’m in the habit of ensuring that I have one day’s worth of updates in advance. On the one hand, it guarantees the quality of the writing, and on the other hand, it prevents me from not updating.

Since I started writing books in ’13 until now, I’ve taken some breaks, but I’ve never stopped updating.

This habit is key.

The manuscripts I prepare in advance give me some leeway.

As for daily updates, they will mostly be little Chapters of 3K or 4K words.

I will do my utmost to ensure at least two updates a day.

This is not my limit, but I have my own life as well.

In the premise of ensuring quality, rhythm and without watering down content, I’ll try my best to update more often.

Everyone knows how important it is to get a subscription, so I hope those who can will support.

As for the projected outcome, I really have no idea.

To be honest, I’m quite nervous and not sure how many subscriptions I will finally get.

I’ll make a promise here. If the initial subscription is good, I’ll earn the habitual burst badge (updating 10,000 words daily for 10 days).

Other than that, I have nothing else to say.

As for additional updates due to gifts, I have no idea how to handle that.

The key is, I personally dislike being in debt. If I owe too much, it’ll cut into my quality time with my girlfriend... ahem!

That’s all for my afterword.

I have to get back to writing now. The afterword already took up a thousand words, I’d better churn out the actual updates...
