Chapter 61: Shelf Speech l



Chapter 61: Shelf Speech l

I vividly remember the first time my book hit the shelves at the beginning of 2017, when my submission unexpectedly passed the contract review, and I boldly decided to write full-time.

Back then, because there was no computer at my parents’ home, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to write if I went back, so I stayed alone in a tiny 10-square- meter rental in Wenzhou, typing away. It was very cold at the beginning of that year, and I assured my parents that I would receive the manuscript fee at the beginning of the month, but the first month’s payment of over a thousand was delayed, and I didn’t get it. At that time, I only had about a hundred yuan on me. Being in an unfamiliar place and afraid of telling my parents—they might think I had been scammed by the website and disagree with my decision to write full-time—I stayed there.

So during the New Year, just having turned 19,1 survived on instant noodles and oatmeal, typing out my story while hearing the laughter and smelling the delicious meat cooking next door, nearly crying out of envy… I spent those ten- plus challenging days with no sense of hardship or fatigue, filled with motivation, because living off writing novels was my childhood dream!

Fortunately, stumbling along, I persevered to this day. By this year, I can’t even remember how many times I’ve put new books on the shelves, but I still get nervous every time and can’t sleep.

Tomorrow at noon, the book will go live, and I’ll first update three chapters (a 16,000-word section, as I really don’t have any drafts saved). If I can hit 5,000 initial orders, then this book will be updated with at least 10,000 words every day until it’s finished!

On top of this, for every extra 200 initial orders, I will add one more chapter (a 4,ooo-word section)!

I want to rediscover the original passion I had when I started writing, to write earnestly, to be responsible to my supportive readers, and to myself. I promise here that this book will definitely not become an unfinished eunuch; I will write it until the end! If it does become an eunuch… then I, the author, shall become a eunuch too ?(-jj-^-n-jo!

Finally, I ask once more for your initial orders. If you could set up an automatic subscription or something, that would be fantastic. Thank you! Thank you! Thankyou! Orz
