Chapter 54: The Newbie Finally Got Published
TL: YYang
In the morning, my editor informed me that the book would be published tonight, and my mind didn’t quite process it.
Because I only had 120,000 words and had just finished the trial recommendation phase. In my understanding, books on Qidian were usually published with 150,000 to 200,000 words.
However, the rules on Qidian might have changed. The editor said that now was the best time for publication.
First of all, I was a true newbie. Strictly speaking, this is my first book.
To be honest, my expectations were quite high when I was writing it. I thought I should at least get a boutique badge.
But reality is cruel. Many great authors and level-five authors published books this month, so there were many books in the New Book Library. There wasn’t enough traffic to go around, especially for a newbie with no fan base.
I remembered that in the first three days after my book was added to the library, I had single-digit collections every day.
I thought this was definitely going to be a flop, and a massive one at that.
But after thinking about it carefully, it was my first book. If it flopped, it flopped. At worst, I could just start a new one.
With this mentality, I continued to write and slowly persevered until the data and follow-up reads gradually improved, and I also got a trial recommendation.
At this stage, I also slowly calmed down and lowered my expectations. In the end, I felt that a thousand subscriptions would be enough.
Really, don’t laugh, everyone. I would be very content if I could get a thousand subscriptions.
Although a thousand subscriptions might seem insignificant, I felt it was very meaningful. At least it was a start, and it was also an affirmation from the readers.
Here, I would also like to thank my editor, Qinghu, for giving me the opportunity to sign a contract. He would promptly reply and help deal with any problems, a responsible and good editor.
Secondly, I should thank the readers the most.
Thank you for your continuous reading and for the recommendation tickets and monthly tickets you have cast.
The first tens of thousands of words were really written in single-player mode, with no one reading and no one commenting. I just gritted my teeth and wrote. But as I wrote more, there were reader comments and reader votes. Every time I saw them, I truly felt satisfied and happy.
But there were still many criticisms, and here, I humbly accept them.
A newbie’s writing skills are indeed insufficient, even if some parts might not have been written well. I can only continue to write and slowly make up for my shortcomings later.
For example, many readers complained about buying the Land Rover Defender. I admit this point; I really didn’t consider the preferences of most readers.
But since he was a tycoon, he definitely wouldn’t have only one car.
As his wealth accumulated, other luxury cars would definitely be added.
In this regard, I hope everyone will continue to supervise.
As the tradition on Qidian is to have a mass release upon publication, I would like to apologize to everyone in advance.
Because the publication was rather rushed and I have no stockpile of chapters, plus I am writing part-time, I really can’t do a mass release. The 3,000 words I posted tonight were written after I got home at 8 o’clock.
However, tomorrow and the day after is the weekend, and I plan to weld myself to the computer to write for everyone these two days.
I’ll write as much as I can!
Finally, I hope everyone can support me with a subscription.
Thank you all sincerely!
