The prince is very fierce

On December 27, 2019, Xiao Dudu was put on the shelves. As of today, December 31, 2020, it has been exactly one year and four days. The number of words updated in the two books is just about 3 million.

It may not be a long time, but the various things I have experienced may be more than what A Guan has experienced in the past 20 years.

I remember that when Xiao Dudu was put on the shelves, there were only a few hundred collections and 60 subscriptions. At that time, I was very depressed. After all, when I just started the book, I was full of confidence. I quit my job and ran back to write full-time after signing the contract. I thought that I could make a living with 500 subscriptions. It’s just 500 subscriptions. I can get it by writing casually.

As a result, the reality in front of me made A Guan understand the cruelty of this road.

But I didn’t give up at that time. After all, the first book I wrote in 2013 has only 700 recommendation votes so far. This book is at least better than the previous one. I don't have the habit of writing books without being eunuchs. Once I start a book, I must finish it. At that time, I thought about writing it quickly and finishing the book with one million words in three months.

From January to February, I was purely a single player. I stared at the collection and recommendation tickets every day. I was happy for a long time as long as I moved, and fantasized that I could still get up. In the end, I slowly became desperate. I didn't even look at the data, but just buried my head in writing frantically.

At that time, a reader commented that I should build a book club. I didn't want to build it at that time, because the long-term single-player work had worn out all my passion and I didn't want to communicate with people at all, but I still built a book club in the end.

At the beginning, there were only eight people in the book club. Gradually, more and more people came. By the time the book was finished, the number of people was almost over a thousand. It was with the encouragement of these brothers and sisters that I regained some of my spirits and continued to grit my teeth and use love to generate electricity, pushing the one million words to 1.4 million words. Basically, I wrote everything I could write, and only skipped the battle plot.

It was already April when I finished writing the Little Commander. At that time, I also won the first leader of the life of the big boss of the Heavenly Gate, which was also a small achievement.

However, at that time, the pressure of reality had already reached the point of being on fire.

From November when I quit my job to write a book, to April, a full five months, I earned 5,000 yuan by writing books. After paying the property, electricity and phone bills, there was basically nothing left, and I had to rely on borrowing money to get by.

By April, I couldn't even borrow money from online loans (big guys, don't touch this, it's a bottomless pit), and that feeling could directly drive people to death.

At that time, I thought, I would take a final gamble, and if I didn't succeed, I would die. To be honest, I already had a gambler's mentality.

It was also because of the great pressure of reality that the book of the prince was too hasty. The book of the little governor was completed on April 28, and the prince published the book on May 1. During this period, there was no detailed preparation at all, and the outline of the first three volumes was written.

Fortunately, with the support of brothers and sisters, this stage was overcome, and the prince achieved a result that Ah Guan didn't dare to think of a few months ago. Now he can write with peace of mind without being troubled by reality.

However, hasty book opening obviously has side effects.

The writing of The Crown Prince was smooth in the early stage, but after the first three volumes were written, because there was no time to prepare detailed settings and outlines before the book was opened, the main plot was a bit floating in the later stage, and the arrangement of the heroine was unreasonable. She appeared too early and had too few scenes in the later stage.

Because there was no hope at all at that time, I thought that if the book failed again, leaving Chang'an City would be the finale, so most of the heroines showed their faces in Chang'an City, and I didn't think about what the heroines should do in the later stage.

In addition, the little governor was supposed to accumulate experience, but in the later stage, a lot of wars and hegemony plots were skipped.

At that time, the idea was that I could write this, so the book of The Crown Prince was also arranged, after all, most historical texts end with wars. As a result, when I wrote here, I found that I had never written about the experience of fighting before, and I didn't know where to start. It would be better to quickly skip the war plot like the little governor.

However, the little governor skipped the plot based on the fact that the heroine's scenes had all been completed, while the emotional line of the heroine of the Crown Prince had not been completed, and the main plot was difficult to write, so it was frozen on the spot.

This is also the reason why the updates have been getting slower and slower since I wrote it. The foundation is not laid well. The higher the building is built, the easier it is to collapse. I have been trying to find the right direction to finish the tail of the prince and not let my brothers and sisters down.

The prince is the second official book of A Guan, and it is also a way to cross the river by feeling the stones to accumulate experience. Now I can only remember these flaws and strive to lay a good foundation for the next book.

Tomorrow is 2021. I hope that in the new year, I can continue on this path with my brothers and sisters. I also wish my brothers and sisters a career that takes off on the spot, a healthy body, and a wave of peach blossoms in the new year.

(PS: I don’t know if there are any older sisters among the book friends, but there must be younger sisters...)

Today is the last day of 2020. Although the updates have not been strong recently, I still ask for some monthly tickets. Thank you~
