Chapter 76: Remarks on the Launch
The editor just notified me that it will be on the shelves tonight.
This came a little suddenly, so I took advantage of the lunch break to write some of my first book writing, my thoughts as a newbie.
It feels wonderful for a newbie to write a novel for the first time.
It's like having a successful first interview and going to work in a company.
For the first time, I tried to have a relationship.
For the first time, I talked about marriage and had another person enter every aspect of my daily life.
There is curiosity, longing, and excitement about unfamiliar things.
Of course, there is more trepidation.
I will pay special attention to the criticism or praise from the leader.
A little quarrel between young lovers will cause great emotional fluctuations.
When I was on a business trip, my partner was hundreds of miles away, and a sentence of "Have you eaten? Don't drink, don't stay up late" would make me happy for a long time, and I was glad that fate did not treat me badly.
…
When I wrote a book for the first time, whether it was curiosity about new things, excitement about the future, or trepidation and anxiety about unfamiliar fields.
These emotions have actually been experienced countless times.
But every time I come into contact with a new thing or come to a new environment, I will repeat this emotion.
Anyway, I can't do it. When facing new things and new environments, my emotions are as calm as a mountain and I feel that if one day, I live in this state, it will be quite boring.
If I have no emotions, wouldn't I be a robot? Is there any meaning in living?
I enjoy the ups and downs of emotions in the process of doing things, and pursue the state of being able to face a thing calmly regardless of the result when it is completed (of course, due to the limitations of age and experience, I am far away from this state now.)
For brand new things and a brand new environment, as a newcomer, the only thing I can do is to be serious and use seriousness to tap the potential within my ability to the maximum.
It's the same with writing this book.
It's the first time I write a book, there must be many shortcomings. Even geniuses can't be perfect, let alone I'm just an ordinary person.
I have come here thanks to your support, criticism, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, etc.
It's going to be on the shelves now.
The editor also told me in advance: most of the collections of this book are from the users who were attracted, and the conversion rate of the attracted users is very low. The other half are the paying users of this site. I was told not to expect too much just because the collections are optimistic.
Click!
When I heard the prediction of an experienced old editor, my mood suddenly dropped, and my emotions were stretched to the limit for a long time.
There were two voices arguing in my mind.
"What if? What if!"
"No what if! An old editor's experience has no what if!"
...
Until I wrote this paragraph of the feelings of the book on the shelves, my emotions had calmed down.
After the extreme pull, it returned to calm, just like the peace after the storm. This feeling is very mysterious and enjoyable.
What I can do is to continue to write seriously and tap the greatest potential within my ability.
If the words I write and the characters I portray can bring you a moment of happiness and inadvertently touch the softness hidden somewhere in your heart, please support me.
In fact, it doesn't cost much, only three or four cents a day.
…
The above words are for myself, for life, and for every book friend who has read this far.
Next, let’s talk about the updates after the release.
At least 10,000 words will be updated immediately after the release, and at least another 10,000 words will be updated within 24 hours.
Then it will be 8,000 to 10,000 words per day.
Finally, thank every book friend and editor Penglai No. 2.
See you at 10 pm.
