Kingdom’s Bloodline: Tweet comments
Tweet is blocked.
The homepage is closed and tweeted. This is the starting point’s official recognition of the author’s achievements, and the ability to show the work here shows...Damn, when I say this, Bourdieu’s "About Speech "Speech", can't go on in an instant.
In short, I am very happy.
Along the way, although it has been quite bumpy, what makes me proud and moving is that the readers have been by my side.
When I had less than a hundred collections, nine readers joined the book friend group, discussing the plot, blowing water and fart, giving me a considerable part of the motivation in my monotonous life, supporting me to record and show One chapter of the story.
Up to now, there have been more than 500 book friends, and there are more book friends who have not joined the group, supporting this work, this world, and the lives of these characters in various ways.
It is my honor to fight alongside you.
I dare not say how fast I can write and how much I can update, but I will try my best to write each chapter to the best level.
I don't have the confidence to update 4D words every day, but I have the persistence to polish 3000 words in seven hours.
In addition, I would like to thank the editor in charge of this book, Qing Mang.
As mentioned earlier, he picked up this street-bashing book from the trash and signed it.
I won’t say anything about him recommending the arrangement, so I’m very grateful.
I only say one thing.
In ten months, Qingmang continuously used agitation, encouragement, threats, inducements, pleadings, etc., to inhumanely urge Wujian... to change.
Yes, the unstable update of Wujian can come to this day, in large part due to the perseverance of the editor in charge.
Here, I cut out part of what Qingmang said on QQ:
"Don't stop, hey more"
"Can't you divide the six thousand words into two days to update, don't you try to change it"
"It's better to code a few words with this time"
"I really wanted to scold my mother when you broke the watch"
"I haven't started pushing yet, you underestimate yourself"
"Write well, "XXXX" was written with you, and now it costs over ten thousand monthly drafts"
"The income is still a lot, you can concentrate on writing, don't give me a break"
"I will calculate for you that you have updated 270,000 characters in two months, and the average is 135,000 in one month, and 4000 characters in one day. You can completely update the stability point."
"Sword on the street!"
"You can at least try to update for a week!"
"Why don't you just drop me the eunuch, I look upset"
"Can't you update 3000 words every day? You can't give recommendations like this"
"I didn't give up when you threw yourself into a dog"
"We don’t know each other in one or two days, and you don’t update, I don’t have the slightest benefit. I just think it’s a pity for a book"
"You finally have a stable update! What should I do if I am so moved? I cried"
"Master! You are the author master!"
"Update more, your book has great potential"
"Why do I care about my work more than you"
"You are now the eleventh monthly pass, go, burst the tenth chrysanthemum"
"I'll change the title of the book for you, call it "Blood from Broken Roots""
"The only requirement is that you don't want to change it during the banning period, otherwise it will really block you"
"It's up to you to update!"
The above words are enough to explain everything.
My gratitude to Qingmang is all in my mind.
Wujian doesn't often expose his private thoughts on the Internet, but after writing it up and down for a year, he has a deep relationship with book friends, and it's time to talk about it.
The birth of "Kingdom Bloodline" originated a long time ago, but it was an accident that it was actually published.
Many years ago in high school, Wujian was when he was most fascinated by fantasy literature. Three classmates and I had an enthusiastic appointment to write a fantasy novel together after graduation.
I'm probably one of the most active people. I even made a historical chronology and drew a draft map (yes, it was the rough and childish hand-drawn map on Weibo).
However, after the college entrance examination, the four of us just hurriedly touched our heads at McDonald's, we laughed and laughed for an afternoon, and it was all gone.
Later, the four of them went their separate ways and had their own lives. One of them was no longer alive.
Although they kept in touch, no one mentioned it again. The enthusiasm and impulse at the time gradually cooled down. I am not even sure whether they still remember the agreement.
Because I almost forgot about myself.
Until many years later-the summer of 2016.
I still remember that day, I received a letter of rejection of the Ph.D. application.
That is the last school on the list.
For a person who has been determined and has always believed that he is going to take the path of academic research, the frustration of the shattered future is still very real.
In the early morning of that day, when I was in a depressed mood, I brought a bunch of beer back to the dormitory. While drinking, I sorted everything in the bookcase-I just felt that the name of every academic book was full of irony.
Probably by accident, "it" suddenly appeared in the middle of an old book (Gadamer's "Truth and Method").
The hand-drawn map from the high school era.
After I finished drawing, I never had a chance to show them the map.
Looking at the inch-by-inch lines of place names written in pencil years ago, I remembered the unfinished agreement again.
Think of the youth, interest, and enthusiasm of the past, think of someone who has passed away many years.
I only feel that my eyes are sore, and my chest feels stuffy.
A mixed feeling.
Maybe it's time.
I told myself that.
Regain that promise, regain the dream.
Even if I am the only one left.
So, drunk, I opened the keyboard.
In the early hours of the morning, the first two chapters of "Blood of the Kingdom" came out.
The image of the boy curled up in the abandoned house, gritted his teeth, struggling to survive, appeared before my eyes for the first time.
At that time, everything was still hazy, the world was still unclear, and many characters only had a vague face.
I didn't realize what I had done until I woke up the next day and stared at the big line on the screen saying "Your work has been approved."
I went downstairs and smoked a cigarette (sixteenth relapse), and thought for five minutes.
Then it started like this.
The road was not easy at the beginning.
Maybe many excellent works were signed in 30,000 words or less.
But that is not "Kingdom Bloodline".
Ten thousand, thirty thousand, fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, one hundred thirty thousand...
It wasn't until 150,000 words were written that the book waited for an invitation to sign the contract—the editor Qingmang "picked the lonely little Thales out of the trash" (his original words).
I just signed a contract, probably because of the frequent reports of Chapter 6, the book has been missing a 404 on the website for several days.
Three hundred and seventy thousand words. Three days before it was put on sale, the book’s collection just passed 300.
In the meantime, I have experienced breakup, defense, graduation, going home, work, life is full of flavors, and I know how warm and cold I am.
After it was put on the shelves, more and more readers gradually increased, followed by more doubts, criticisms, and even abuse.
At that time, I realized that writing is really tiring.
Do you want to give up?
In the process, similar thoughts have come to my mind more than once.
But my heart always tells me: you like writing, no matter how hard you are, no matter how tired you are, no matter how hard you are, you have the motivation and reason to stick to it.
The author of "Heart Demon", Qin Zhihuaqing once said in the group of authors: "If you can make a living while realizing value, what else is happier in the world?".
I agree.
As I said on the shelves: bitterness is trivial, and happiness need not be said.
Whenever there is an idea of giving up, bad endings, word count, and outline escape, I will go to the book friends group to have a look, laugh with everyone, and convince myself: Look, these pronunciations are all because That magical and magnificent world has gathered here, looking forward to the future of that world with hope.
You can't let them down.
No.
You have to keep writing.
Continue writing.
Up to 1.3 million words today.
Get back to business.
As the first work of a novice, "Blood of the Kingdom" has a long length and lack of sword and pen power, and the poor rhythm is revealed: looking back, the first volume is too sloppy, and the second volume is somewhat taken for granted. , The front of the third volume is too complicated and too long, the back is too big and too wide, the first half of the fourth volume is too urgent, and the second half is too protracted.
In general, this book still has the problem of too tight rhythm and insufficient relief.
This problem will appear, but it is actually quite normal: Because Wujian started with the unit settings in the American TV series, one episode and one episode, one season and one season, spreading the story and the world with a compact and continuous plot.
Now it seems that once this kind of writing is opened up, problems such as reading fatigue will occur.
Believe me, Wujian is trying to solve these problems-and Wujian is someone who likes to go back and change the text every time (smile).
Well, readers, it’s the old saying: I’ll write it carefully, and you guys will read it carefully.
I believe that we can find resonance in the book and stimulate each other's thinking. This is more efficient communication than many forms of discussion.
I hope everyone will come to subscribe for genuine products, especially the starting point or QQ reading: trust me, buying genuine products is addictive.
Finally post a paragraph from the postscript of "The Prodigal Son of Border Town" for self-excitation:
[The conflict of human nature is truly the indispensable moving factor in any novel.
As a "writer of martial arts novels," I certainly do not object to attracting readers with treacherous changes, amazing plots, and heroic characters with outstanding personalities. I just think that in addition to these, there should be something else for readers ~ IndoMTL.com ~ something that can be inspiring.
Some things that allow others to admit that martial arts novels are also novels.
But I also know that new attempts are not only risky, but they are usually unpleasant.
But I am willing.
Because I am a "writer of martial arts novels", I always hope that those who write martial arts novels will be called "writers" in the future and be valued just like other writers.
I always hope that martial arts novels will also be called "novels" in the future, and like other novels, they can be placed in the living room grandiosely.
