Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 69: Listing Thoughts_1

Translator: 549690339

Today at noon, my book will be going live on the shelves.

Since it’s going live, naturally, I have to write something, some thoughts on launching.

First of all, I very much appreciate the readers and big shots for following, and for the support for this book!

As a newbie to writing, this being my first book, achieving such results is, to tell the truth, really surprising, quite unexpected.

When I started writing this book, it was after finishing the fast-food god’s “Eternally Evergreen in the World of Cultivation”. I found it very interesting, felt that Li Ergou was very well-suited to be the protagonist, and had some regrets about the damsel-in-distress storyline, so I decided to use Li Ergou as the protagonist for my book.

It so happened that there wasn’t much going on at the factory at the end of the year, so I went home early for the New Year, and, bored at home, I started writing just for fun.

Now that we’re going live, I naturally don’t feel as casual as I did at the start, and I’m also somewhat nervous.

Mainly, I don’t have much confidence in what I’m going to write next, no basis for it.

Perhaps screwing bolts day in and day out has numbed me, left me devoid of emotions.

That results in me having no enthusiasm for anything I do, even when writing the novel, I don’t put much emotion into it – the whole process is lackluster and doesn’t have any fancy face-slapping.

Then, there’s the fact that I have no manuscripts in reserve, and I type slowly, which makes me anxious.

To be honest, you might not believe this.

I started writing this book in January, typing a few thousand words each day, but considering the relatives I’d have to visit over the New Year, I kept holding off on releasing it until February, when I had accumulated eighty thousand words.

But now….I only have a few chapters left in reserve, which I saved last week.

One reason is that I type slowly; poking at the keys with two fingers gets me about a thousand words in an hour, and when I’m stuck, I might dwell on it for hours.

The second reason is that I excitedly published my book, but then I only had single-digit collections per day, no one commented, and I felt so discouraged that I didn’t write at all for a week. If I hadn’t had the few manuscripts saved up, I feel like I would have vanished into thin air.

That feeling was truly agonizing.

After that, I tried a few recommendations, got some achievements, and found the motivation to take things a bit more seriously, which made me a little afraid of loss, continuously revising the remaining manuscript over and over again.

The chapters leading up to the book’s launch, I’ve edited and modified extensively, going back and forth making several adjustments, which also caused delays in my typing and wasted a lot of my reserve drafts.

All I can say is, writing a novel is a game of high aspirations and low abilities, and having an obsessive-compulsive disorder is truly problematic.

Enough of the nonsense – let’s talk about what happens after the launch.

The book will go live precisely at noon, and at that time, I will release the few chapters I have saved up.

Looking at it, there’s a total of twelve thousand words, which also meets the rule of five updates for a launch; and with what I continue to type today, reaching fifteen thousand won’t be an issue.

In any case, I will try to write as much as I can!

Regarding additional updates, I’ll do one extra chapter for every patron and five for each alliance leader, plus one for every five hundred monthly tickets.

That should be enough to motivate me, since I have no reserve and type slowly – I can’t manage more than that anyway.

As for the updates, I’m afraid of jinxing myself by promising too much, so I’ll commit to at least five thousand words; if the first day’s performance is good, I’ll try to do seven thousand, and see if I can push myself not to be so idle.

That’s it. I thank all the readers and lords for your support, and every person who has voted for, rewarded, and commented on this fledgling author.

I also hope that all the readers and lords will consider subscribing in support, many thanks!!! Many thanks!!!
