I remember that I first came into contact with novels in 2001. At that time, I was renting Jin Yong’s martial arts novels at a pirated bookstore for 50 cents a day. The first time I came into contact with such books that were separated from textbooks was really fascinated. I could hold the Legend of the Condor Heroes and read them for three days and three nights, and take them out of the drawer when I have time, and forget to eat and sleep.

Later, the rise of online novels opened up a brand new world for me. At the beginning, I was also reading in a bookstore. I was attracted by the plot in the novel. I often saw that I reluctantly closed the book at three or four o'clock in the morning, lying down and sleeping for a few hours, getting up and continuing to read. Until I finished reading it, I was still unsatisfied and frantically reached the limit.

Gradually, I read more books and picked up the taste. I used to pick up the novels that I had enjoyed reading, and I felt very ordinary. The first time I had the idea of ​​writing novels was in the summer of 2004. At that time, I didn’t know that the novel was serialized online. I picked up the exercise book with great interest and wrote tens of thousands of words. Then I was like an ant on the hot pan, and I was so anxious to find the publisher...

It was not until the end of 2005 that I accidentally saw someone reading a novel online in an Internet cafe, and then I suddenly realized that the novel was published online... It was very pure, is there any?

But at that time, my family hadn't bought a computer, and the poor and innocent student was too luxurious to cut out his daily living expenses and go to the Internet cafe to write novels... So, although I had the idea of ​​taking action, I had to choose to give up due to my personal financial reasons.

I really started to create a document and started typing on the keyboard. It was in late spring and early summer in 2006. At that time, I left school and entered a small factory in Wenling City to work in a shoe-making factory. The landlord of the factory building was my friend. So after finishing ten hours of work in a stove-like workshop every day, I would break into my friend's room, occupy his chair, and take his computer...

Of course, the urge to write novels had not appeared again for a long time. I just snatched the computer and used it to play games. I never thought about typing.

Until later, I remember it was over 1:00 a.m. Because the factory had no orders for vacation the next day, I played games until after 1:00 a.m. It seemed like I saw someone discussing novels in a QQ group, and then I clicked on the website they posted in the group... That website was the Qidian Chinese at that time.

After browsing on this website that was very strange at the time for more than an hour, looking at the novels and various introductions to the author on the website, the impulse that had been silent for a long time emerged again, and it was like a prairie fire, and it was out of control.

The momentum was rising, and a reader account was established at Qidian in the early morning of the day. When I applied for the author, I realized that the manuscript was still needed to be reviewed. At that time, Lao Zui was a real one-finger Zen, and she might not be able to write hundreds of words in an hour. However, in an impulsive state, Lao Zui gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and kept writing from around four in the morning to more than eleven noon. After completing the review content of the three thousand words, she uploaded Lao Zui's first book with anticipation and nervousness...

Until now, Lao Zui can still clearly recall the first chapter he wrote. The content is that the protagonist, who was seven or eight years old, helped a dying old man, and then the old man claimed to be the great god of the universe. He was extremely awesome and pulled the protagonist to teach him the super martial arts to traverse the universe...

Very bloody, right? Lao Zui also thinks so...

Soon, Lao Zui's debut work was over. Because of his work, he only had three or four hours of sleep every day. After lasting for a month, he updated more than 100,000 words, and there were only a few clicks, few collections, few comments, and few recommendations...

So Lao Zui helplessly 'strangled' it to death, allowing it to die directly.

After the first book failed, Lao Zui was so sad that he was not discouraged, and then he created the second book...

Oh my God, it happened to be July, the hottest month of the year, working during the day and writing at night, by the way, I want to say that Lao Zui’s monthly salary was 800 yuan at that time...

Just Ah Q persisted for two months, and wrote a book to 300,000 words for the first time, but the imagined contract did not fall from the sky. So Lao Zui once again strangled his second spring to death...

It seemed that Lao Zui deserved to be fucked. From June 2006 to July 2007, Lao Zui strangled six books to death, with a total number of words reaching more than 1.9 million. Moreover, Lao Zui's computer was a friend at that time, and since early August 2006, his friends had a lot of opinions.

So, every time Lao Zui writes text, he is staggered with him. Before twelve o'clock in the morning, his friends are playing games. After twelve o'clock, the computer is Lao Zui...

I worked hard all year, but I didn’t see a penny of royalties, but I paid for several treatments...

Oh my God, I earned more than 9,000 points a year at that time. Is there any?!!!

I saved more than 3,000 yuan in savings, and my face was pale and thin, but I hurriedly went to buy a second-hand computer...

So Lao Zui resigned from the factory and went home to accept the arrangements from his family and went out to learn business with his elders.

But at the end of 2007, things took a turn for the better. The seventh book written by Lao Zui actually saw the editor's message...

Well, that's not Qidian's editor, and then Lao Zui was deceived by his sweet words...

After leaving Qidian, I signed a contract with other sites, and after a month of hard work, it was finally put on the shelves...

Then, another month later, Lao Zui received the first royalty payment...

300 yuan, a lot, is there any?!!!

When Lao Zui took out the money from the bank and took it to his hands, his mood was really noisy and he was almost crying happily.

When I got home, my heart was pounding because of overexcitation. It was so fast that I almost sucked it!

That book was Lao Zui's first completed novel. Although the total number of words is only more than 600,000, and although he only received more than 700 yuan in the finished book... but it was considered a complete book after all, isn't it?

I remember that in some QQ groups, whenever I saw the author signing at Qidian, the great god shouted, and almost worshiped people...

Also, the authors who made Lao Zui very envious and jealous were those who posted their rewards in the group. Oh my God, you are 1,200 this month? Great God...

Your month is 1,600? Oh my God, super god!

What? You are over 2,000 this month... How did you do it?

That’s right, Lao Zui was like this at that time.

After continuing to write two books on that website, it was the summer of 2008. Lao Zui felt that he had practiced his writing skills well, so he ran back to the starting point...

I remember it very clearly that the book is called "The Blood Cultivation of Corpse in the Modern Times". After uploading it with infinite desire...

After applying for a contract of 100,000 words, he was rejected by Qidian editor Hui Changhui Chang ruthlessly. At that time, Lao Zuiru was shocked and looked at the backstage news at the computer, and was stunned.

OK, I can't sign the contract, I'm going to lose again...

Just as Lao Zui was stupid and preparing for TJ, something like coaxing Lao Zui to leave Qidian happened again, so Lao Zui once again traveled across the ocean and arrived at a completely unfamiliar website, signed a contract, uploaded it, and put it on the shelves...

For some reason, Lao Zui became angry (blushed), and went to the author of that site to interview...

However, young people have no endurance. Every week after interviewing the author, old drunkenness will be broken, the kind that is often gray and often gray.

However, although this book only wrote more than 400,000 words, Lao Zui also received a monthly royalty of more than 2,000, almost 3,000 for the first time. So Lao Zui wrote three books in a row under the pseudonym "Fu Zui" at that site. The total number of words was not large, only more than 1.6 million words, but the royalty of the three books was almost 15,000.

That was so fun at that time, but don't mention it.

Then, Lao Zui jumped two more stations from that station, wrote four or five books, and in the early 2009, he opened a new vest with shame and returned to that site (jumping around outside, he was so poor that he couldn't live happily, and he was unwilling to ask for money from his family... Alas, he was suffering from face and suffering!).

I continued to write three books in the new vest at that station. Lao Zui calculated with his fingers. It has been 10 years since he first tapped the keyboard until he had been around. Lao Zui summarized it.

During these four years, Lao Zui wrote a total of twenty novels, seven of which were completed normally, four of which were unfinished, and nine of which were eunuchs. The income was about 70,000 yuan, and the total number of words reached more than 9 million and nearly 10 million words...

After doing this, Lao Zui woke up, slapped his head and thought ambitiously that, now, there should be enough capital to return to the starting point, right?

So Lao Zui completed the novel he was writing at the fastest speed, and then rolled the bed and returned to the starting point.

Finally, Lao Zui signed the contract...

On April 11, 2010, Lao Zui's new book "Rebirth: Being a Fairy" finally signed the contract with his mother...

At that time, I was so excited that I almost jumped up with my girlfriend in my arms...

Then, Lao Zui, who had been wandering for four years, finally stabilized at the starting point. After completing "Rebirth: Rebirth as an Immortal" for more than 1.4 million words, he immediately uploaded "Future Mobile", and then "Persist in the Divine Power"...

Lao Zui felt mixed feelings as the numbers on the royalties list continued to increase.

I started writing for a year in vain, but later I got the manuscript of 300 yuan and couldn't sleep. Until I later changed from 300 yuan to 800 yuan, then 1,500 yuan, and then 2,000...3,000 yuan... Until now, I have exceeded 1,000 yuan per month. I'm afraid only authors who have the same experience as Lao Zui can experience this feeling...

Because the current achievements are hard-won, Lao Zui never dared to slack off at all. From returning to the starting point in April 2010, it has been more than one year and two eleven days. During this time, Lao Zui wrote nearly 3.8 million words! Is there anything?

Tonight, I was smoking a cigarette, thinking about the wanderings, hesitation, confusion, persistence...

Haha, I wrote so much before I knew it, um... Go to sleep... Good night everyone...
