Testimonials
More than half a month ago, I learned that today’s big tweet, editor Yuanzheng asked me to prepare a tweet testimonial, and I kept thinking, what should I write?
I was still confused until last night, and when I woke up early in the morning, I was carefully sorting out my experience in the past five years of coding, and even I was embarrassed. I will just write about my unlucky experience and keep it as a souvenir for myself.
Why did I write a book in the first place? It was because about 2009 or 2010, when the eunuch became a eunuch, his heart was very angry!
Later, a guy named "Chen Xiaobai" came out to write, eunuch, and wrote again, continue to be eunuch, very angry inside!
So I came up with the idea of writing it myself. From 10 to 12 years, I tossed and fiddled intermittently. Sometimes I lost it for a few months, and then picked it up and revised it repeatedly. At first I wanted to write a western fantasy based on DND, but in the end it was written, and it was first posted at the starting point.
Please note that my history of blood and tears has officially begun.
It was first posted at the starting point. In half a month, I racked my brains to get a contract, but it didn't work. In the end, he ran to 'Zongheng' in a daze, and signed there.
Know what is the most difficult thing for me? I just sent out the contract with 'Zongheng', and the signing text message from Qidian came.
I was not thick-skinned enough at the time, and I felt that the contract could not be broken after it was signed, so if I went to Zongheng, I would go to Zongheng. So I stayed in Zongheng for a year and a half until the beginning of 2014.
This step has gone astray, and it will not go smoothly in the future!
This book has accumulated a certain amount of popularity for me. At that time, there was one update every day, and one update was 3K. I was a part-time codewriter, and I was still relatively leisurely, with a good mentality, and I was not in a hurry.
But sometimes I also sigh. Many people say that if this book is at the beginning, maybe there will not be so many messy things later.
When the score is the best, it is set at 500. For a long time, others have known me through this book.
Near the end, a friend introduced me to Taiwan Nine Stars, which is a western fantasy type, signed in "Zongheng" and called it.
At that time, I was so excited, I felt that I was awesome, and I had published a physical book, and a bright future was in front of me! Maybe I will become a god in the blink of an eye! I resigned, full-time coding!
As a result, the book was cut in half two months after it was released, and the publisher said, "If you can't sell it, don't write it." The last twelve volumes have 700,000 characters, eunuch!
... Do you know how I felt at the time? I can't describe it, probably I can only use it as a metaphor. Or other negative words to describe, must be right.
Hard-working people naturally have hard things!
At that time, I was discussing with the editor of 'Zongheng' how to write the third book? It is said that wireless simmer, so I thought about writing fantasy. It was useless to write a bunch of beginnings, and was shot by the editor of "Zongheng" and shot again.
Uncle, I won't serve you anymore, I really can't write a short essay!
I started a new round of death......, I went to 'Creation'. I added a '.QD' to the end of my current pen name, because I registered 'Tong Chi Dao Ren' in 'Genesis', so I can't use it at the starting point.
Someone teased me about whether this meant 'wrongness', so I could only curl my lips, expressing that I was aloof and ignored it.
I wrote urban essays in "Creation", but later felt that the title of the book was too memorized, so I changed it to a more memorized one. Five hundred thousand words, and eunuch.
This shows that it is not that the title of the book is bad, but that I am bad. As for what is bad, I don't know.
Remember... these are all family slaves of the three surnames, but this is not the end of death.
At the end of 2014, I was really anxious, and a friend found me a job in Beijing. My friend has a lot of face, and if I don’t do anything, I will receive a salary of several thousand oceans every month, and I can continue to write books.
But this good thing only lasted for four months, because of my arrogance and funnyness..., many reasons, the boss doesn't want me anymore after the new year.
It is estimated that the boss is also very angry with me who only pays for my salary and does not work!
And from the end of 2014 to the middle of 2015,
I went to '3G' and wrote two books and, like 'Future Soldier', pounced.
This is also a very strange experience, there is nothing to say, anyway, I just write desperately, and then watch others succeed.
From July to November in 2015, I thought about whether to contribute to Taiwan Publishing House. I wrote two manuscripts and submitted them to two publishing houses, one of which received no news, and the other politely declined.
To put it bluntly, I still look down on me.
That was the most difficult time for me, from my resignation at the beginning of 2014 to the end of 2015. In two years, I have achieved nothing, and I have no face to say that I am a codeword. There was no one to support me, no one really, and I was so devastated that I lost sleep.
That year, I went to the stock market desperately, wondering if I could... As a result, everyone knows that the stock market crashed and was locked up. I haven't slowed down until now, and I still don't want to cut my flesh, so I can only stand firm.
Due to the terrible loss, I was too lazy to take care of it, and now I have even forgotten the account number and password of my stock account.
The funny thing is that I was so depressed that I still took medicine indiscriminately. Because of taking medicine indiscriminately, I once fell on the sofa at home at two o'clock in the middle of the night, my brain exploded, and I felt that I would die in a second. As for other ailments, don't mention it. It's not uncommon for some authors to hang up after writing.
At that time, I really reached a desperate situation. I wasted two years and the skills that I have relied on for more than ten years to make a living. I couldn't go back to the original path. The way of code words seems to be impossible, and I have to endure all kinds of cynicism, and my family is about to die.
At that time, I thought that God would take pity on me and give me a way to go, so I would be thankful!
At that time, someone asked me to be a shooter, with thousands of characters and fifteen, writing small white essays, even the outline was laid out for me, all I had to do was write.
I declined.
Uncle, I was also a person with a monthly salary of nearly 10,000 yuan before tax, but now I am sent 15 thousand words. I paid such a high price just to eat dog food?
Bah..., sir, I don't accept it!
But it is useless to accept it.
My classmate called me and asked if he could introduce me to a job, and said that maybe I could get a monthly salary of 15,000.
I said 'Yeah, ok, ok' and I was so happy!
Wait for half a month without news, call to ask, and say, 'I introduced you, the boss doesn't want you, I think you can't do it'.
My heart is cold.
In November 2015, I continued to toss and go to Longkong to find the mailboxes for receiving manuscripts of various online writing websites, and then sent manuscripts to ask for buyouts.
This is my last mortal struggle.
Most of the emails fell into the sea, and an editor from Sweet Potato responded to me, but asked me to revise the manuscript. The editor of Netease took pity on me, and finally gave me a buyout of 2000 words.
Remember how many sites I stayed at?
five!
Household slaves with five surnames
Twenty thousand characters, I countered with thirty thousand characters, but they refused. Well, it can be regarded as a meal, so you can't ask too much. So my sixth book was uploaded after 2016.
At that time, I felt that this was my last fight. Although I had yelled that it was my last fight many times before, if I didn't succeed this time, I really couldn't get along.
I will not mention the unlucky process of Netease, sometimes it is not hard work that can succeed. Anyway, I wrote 1.1 million words and cheated Netease Cloud Reading of 20,000 yuan in manuscript fees. My uncle, I have no face to continue cheating money there.
As for why I have no face, I would say that I have been in NetEase for several months, and when I collected the most, it was 1,000?
Others pay tens of thousands of manuscripts, but I have several hundred.
Man, I am a person with a lot of self-esteem, and I have no face anyway, morals and everything are jokes, let me go!
After turning around, many people said to me, 'Why don't you go back to the starting point? '
I think the starting point is so high-end, we don't deserve it!
The competition is so fierce, can I stand out?
It seems that there is something shady or something, so I just rushed to the street, can I get in?
Don't joke, I really thought so. I was extremely unconfident at the time when I was tossed by successive blows.
I would like to thank the 'earth bun', he was at the starting point. Presumably to look at me pitifully, he said to me one day, "You write the beginning, and I'll send it to the May boss of Qidian Science Fiction for you to try, and you can buy a thousand words forty or fifty anywhere."
There is such a good thing? !
That happened in March of this year, and my morale was zero anyway, so I just gave it a try. What if Boss Wuyue blindly takes a look at me?
As a result, the boss was not blind and felt that it was worthless, so he refused!
This is the end?
This is completely OVER?
This is self-defeating, just say goodbye to life?
I'm angry!
If you say no, then reject it, if you say it’s worthless, it’s worthless, if you don’t buy it out, I won’t publish the book!
Uncle, I am a shameless person anyway, I upload it myself and mix it up by myself, I still don't believe it!
So I received a short message from the signing station within three days of posting the book.
God is sorry, I was at the beginning of 30,000, which is what you see now.
This fucking is my own rise, okay!
From the end of April to now in November, I have written more than 1.5 million words, stumbling along the way. This process was full of bitterness and tears, but at any rate my confidence returned.
Thanks to the starting point platform, I was able to get out of the street, and let me have enough food and clothing.
If I had known this earlier, I would not have left when I wrote it in 12 years. My sad experience for so many years has proved one thing - finding a good platform is much more reliable than trying to figure it out.
Thank you also for my editorial expedition. I am afraid that there are not many funny writers like me, so please bear with me.
I don't know if the words I wrote are of any help to others. I only know that everyone's success is different. Let's figure out the specific way.
If you don't have a good father, a good mother, good luck, at least you have to have a self that can withstand beatings.
The text is crude, commemorating my troubled coding career. I hope that one day I can also make a monthly income of 100,000 million, and when I look back, I will laugh and say that my experience is tempering. And if it fails, it's not a test, it's a joke and a shame.
Until then... Let's talk about it first, I'd better keep my feet on the ground to code words now.
