I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 17 What classification is the most difficult to mix
"...you don't need to write in such detail, the foreshadowing is too slow and most readers don't have the patience..."

In the office building where Shiyue's novel is located, the editor-in-charge of the pen and ink is sending a message to the next author.

After sending the message, he paused again,

"...Is there any manuscript left? Send it to me first."

"……No."

The author under his hand replied again, and the pen and ink shook his head, and did not reply to the message.

He raised his head again, looked at the editing background on the computer screen, and flipped through the book of the author under him.

Turn to the completed "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals".

The pen and ink couldn't help but pause again, although he had already finished chasing it.

Although this "Mortal's Cultivation of Immortals" is a slow-paced novel, its grades are not bad.

However, even if it is a small fire, it does not have much impact on the popularity and style of the entire website.

After a pause, he clicked into the author's homepage of 'Era Coincidence' and took a look.

Haven't opened a new book yet.

Pen and ink shook his head, and continued to flip through other authors' novels.

……

"There is grass in the canyon: #呵呵# Yawn, it's been several days, why hasn't the author of the dog published a new book yet?"

"30 per second: Maybe I'm conceiving a new book. The author of the dog writes in such detail, there must be a lot of things to think about in advance.

The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: Hey, I feel that the author has not released new books, and the group has become much deserted. "

It is also in the magic city, a certain neighborhood.

Two-dimensional too high concentration bedroom house,

Yun Qingmu was sitting in front of the desk, and the laptop on the desk was also on,

Holding the mobile phone in his hand, he was watching the chat in the book friend group.

Can't help pursing his lips.

The old book is finished, and the new book has not been opened for a long time.

Some readers who were active in the book friend group gradually stopped sending messages.

Yun Qingmu, a loyal reader, can afford to wait, but some readers who have just started reading the "Epoch Coincidence" novel cannot remember this author all the time.

I don't know when the author will open a new book.

If it takes a while, maybe only these readers in the book friend group still remember it?
Yun Qingmu felt that she cared more about the dog author's new book than this dog author.

"...Sister, it's time to eat! If you don't come out again, I will eat by myself!"

"Oh!"

Her sister's cry came again from outside the bedroom,
Yun Qingmu responded, obediently left the bedroom to eat,

But still holding the phone, his eyes kept watching the chats in the book friend group.

……

"...Sir, this is it. If you are satisfied, you can directly check in today, and I have the key here."

"...Okay, here we go."

It's been two or three days since I arrived in Shanghai, Ji Zhuo spent a few days in a suite at the hotel, living a luxurious life.

Just started looking for a house to rent.

Looking at the two-bedroom house with a living room and a kitchen, Ji Zhuo is quite satisfied.

The decoration is relatively fresh, and there is no tacky color style.

Although there are two bedrooms, he is alone, but it happens that the second bedroom in the middle can be cleaned up and used as a study for work.

"Do I need to go back to your place to sign a rental contract?"

"No need, Mr. Ji, I'll take it with me here."

profession.

"...All right, this is the key to the house here. Mr. Ji can also change the lock cylinder. There is a place to change the lock when you turn right when you go out of the community."

"...Mr. Ji, you can rest, and I will take my leave first."

The intermediary left and closed the door again.

The room was quiet again.

Ji Zhuo was standing in the living room, with a suitcase beside him.

He looked down at the bunch of keys in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the house again.

Ji Zhuo walked to the living room window and looked out the window.

He collected 30 yuan of encouragement from the system, plus the income from the novel itself and some original deposits,
Regardless of the future, it is enough for him to enjoy a better life,

For example, simply find a villa to rent, or simply find a better hotel to live in for a few months without having to clean up the house yourself.

But the villa is too big, it seems too empty for him alone, and he really doesn't feel like staying in a hotel,
So every time Ji Zhuo goes to a city, he still likes to rent a house to live in for a few months, which makes him feel more integrated into the city.

It's the same this time.

outside the window,
Looking down, you can basically see the appearance of the community.

This is also an old neighborhood.

There are a few old buildings with a height of seven or eight floors standing upright, and there are a few small paths looming under the dense branches and leaves on the side of the road.

The greening of the community is good. Some old trees have branches and leaves that have extended to the height of three or four floors.

Outside the window of the living room where Ji Zhuo was standing, there were also a few branches and leaves stretching over.
It is just about the same height as the window, so it will not block the view when looking outside the house, and you can see it when you walk to the window and look down.

From time to time, a cool breeze blows, disturbing the green shade of these branches and leaves reflected on the ground.

And look outside the community and look further away.

Farther away are some towering high-rise buildings, just standing in the city,
Let this neighborhood feel quite quiet amidst the hustle and bustle.

Then he stood by the window and paused, before Ji Zhuo turned around.

Gotta start tidying up the new house.

……

"...What would you like to have for dinner?"

"I've come to Shanghai, so I must eat some special food in Shanghai."

Ji Zhuo does not have the anxiety and eagerness of readers in his book friend group to open a new book for him,

Simply tidying up the house, I was exhausted, and the sky outside the house was already dark,

The tall buildings in the distance are also lit up, highlighting the prosperity of the city, and it is a different night scene.

But Ji Zhuo didn't bother to look at it right now, so he half-lyed on the sofa,

The whole body can't wait to sink into the soft sofa cushion, holding the mobile phone, looking at the restaurants on the delivery software.

"Well, this restaurant has a good score, but the price is a bit expensive! But I'm rich! I'm going to eat here today!"

With money in his pocket, the slightly bloated Ji Zhuo ended up not knowing the portion of the food in the city,

In the end, I ordered three Sixi Roasted Bran, Zao Bo Tou, and Shrimp Big Black Ginseng, which are said to be Modu dishes.

"...Well, now we are waiting for the takeaway to arrive..."

Ji Zhuo nodded in satisfaction,
I don't have the idea of ​​opening a new book at all in my mind. It's only been finished for a few days, so let's let the readers dry.Let it cool down before posting a new book.

"...How about playing a game now?"

Thinking about it, Ji Zhuo was about to open the game Timi.

"Editor: Any ideas for a new book?"

At this moment,
On Penguin chat, the editor sent a message.

Ji Zhuo paused.

Editors care about new books, that's not the kind of treatment only big bosses have.

I'm just rushing to the street, and the editor still has time to rush me for a new book?Less work lately?
Ji Zhuo had question marks all over his head, and then quickly poked a few times on the phone, and quickly replied a message.

"Clumsy and uncommon: I am writing and I am writing.

edit:……"

Everyone has been a fox for thousands of years, and still don't understand what this sentence means.

"Editor: means just wrote the title of a new book.

Clumsy and uncommon: #恶笑。 "

No, none of the new titles.

"Editor: I've also read your "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals". It's very good-looking, and the readership of this book is good. If you have a suitable new book, I suggest publishing it as soon as possible.

If it is still a novel of the same category, it is estimated that old readers can follow the past relatively smoothly. "

Ji Zhuo felt a toothache when he saw the editor's reposted words.

He felt a dull pain in his chest when he mentioned those old readers.

Isn't he just afraid that there will be too many old readers, causing the new issue to take off directly,
Otherwise, if he didn't open a new book early, he would hit the street again, and the incentive money of 100 million a month would be fine.

"Clumsy and uncommon: OK, thank you boss. I will write a new book as soon as possible."

"Editor: Hmm."

As we all know, as soon as possible, I don't know when.

After finishing the chat with the editor, Ji Zhuo excitedly clicked on the game again.

new book?Wait a little longer, let it hang for a while longer.

"TiMi..."

……

"Gan!"

The night is quiet,

Played eight games and lost seven,

Everything felt dull, Ji Zhuo was paralyzed on the sofa,

Even a supper could not fill the emptiness in his heart.

After cursing again, he jumped up from the sofa.

Don't play anymore, sleep!

……

"Grass in the canyon: the seventh, eighth and ninth days of the dog author's silence... I forgot for a few days. I miss him... when will the new book be released.

Taking Off Wuhu: Dogs The author is writing a new book.jpg.

There is grass in the canyon: why is it a blank picture?What about the new book?
Take Off Wuhu: Dog The author is still writing.

There's Grass in the Canyon: Where's the Dog Author?

Take Off Wuhu: Are you writing a new book?
There is grass in the canyon: an old joke that will never go out of style. "

……

"The scenery on the Bund is pretty good. Where should we go tomorrow?"

Ji Zhuo admired the scenery.

……

"Octopus: @狂不引, boss, when will the new book be released, let me follow suit?
Clumsy and uncommon: I am writing, I am writing. "

……

"...Hi sir, your dishes are ready."

"Okay, thank you... well, it tastes good."

……

"Wait for the author's new book release to check in and sign in."

"Punch in, punch out!"

"Has the dog author released a new book today?"

"Why doesn't the dog author release a new book? Insert a regression sign, remember to kick me when the author releases a new book."

In the room, Yun Qingmu looked at the reminder post in the comment section of 'Mortal Cultivation of Immortals',

Some distressed, some readers are still asking, is there anyone who can contact the author to ask.

But Yun Qingmu didn't have the contact information of the dog's author either.

As soon as the old book is finished, it seems that the whole connection has been lost.

Feeling annoyed for a while, Yun Qingmu pursed her lips again, as if remembering something,
Then cut to the Penguin chat interface.

"30 per second: Lao Ji, let me ask you something. Didn't you say that you saw the author of the mortal cultivating immortals in the group before? Do you have his contact information?
30 per second: I want to ask about his new book.

Chaos does not count the years: I am writing, I am writing.

Chaos does not track the year: He said that he is writing, and he is writing, and someone in the group asked him before. "

……

"...It seems that I have been to all the scenic spots. Where will I go tomorrow? How about going to the headquarters of Shiyue.com?"

"...About to edit it out for a meal? Forget it, maybe I'm going to press for a new book..."

When Ji Zhuo received the message from Yun Qingmu, Ji Zhuo had just returned from wandering around the scenic spot outside.

He casually replied two messages from Yun Qingmu.

Putting down the phone, the room became a little quieter.

The expression on his face also restrained a little, Ji Zhuo paused.

"It's been ten days, and it's almost time to start a new book, right?"

"Then what is the new writing?"

Ji Zhuo's past ten days are not in vain, except for going around the scenic spots every day,
I also think about new books, and I already have some ideas about new books.

But because of the tragedy of the novel boutique last time, Ji Zhuo really lacked confidence in himself.

He was afraid that he would deliberately write in the direction of the street and then become popular, and he was also afraid that if he wrote seriously, the plot of the writing would improve a little, and it would become popular again.

Facts have proved that if you don't know how to fire, you can't even figure out how to pounce.

Because I don't know how to avoid the factors that may explode.

while thinking,

Ji Zhuo changed his slippers and walked into the study.

In the past few days, he vacated the second bedroom,

I bought a desk, and I also bought a bookshelf online, and put it together in this room,

Although there are no books yet, it basically looks like a study.

He sat down at the desk and turned on the computer.

Ji Zhuo hesitated, but picked up his phone and opened the author chat group.

"New book update: The old book is about to be finished. A new book is about to be published. Is there any big guy who wants to release a new book recently?
Octopus: There are a lot of bigwigs who have opened new books recently.Like that squid is about to open a new book recently?I was prepared to avoid this period of time, and wait for a while to open a new book, so as not to become cannon fodder. "

Ok?
There are a lot of bigwigs who have opened new books recently?
Ji Zhuo looked at the chat records in the group, his eyes lit up.

Doesn't this mean that these big shots will grab a lot of attention, so isn't it the best time for me to start a book?
The new book hasn't been written yet, this situation makes Ji Zhuo's rush to the street a bit more stable this time.

This satisfied him.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Big brothers, which categories are not easy to mix recently?

New book update: Ah!It's a clumsy and uncommon boss, I'm dead!
Octopus: Ah!is...+1"

With anticipation, Ji Zhuo sent this message,

As a result, what I saw was this kind of reply from the repeater.

Sure enough, it is the urine in the author group.

But fortunately, the author followed up with a relatively serious answer,
"I'm just a salted fish: Come on, let me have a fantasy. I'm about to die.

Money begets money and it's endless: fantasy is also called hard to mix?Come to my metropolis?Great gods emerge in endlessly, and newcomers to monsters appear every day. Whatever others write about is popular, I write about whatever is popular.

Hahahahaha: Don't come to my Two-dimensional?With my Two-dimensional competition, everyone is the king of volume! "

Ji Zhuo looked at these three replies,
I just feel that these three people are talking nonsense. Although this kind of big classification is fiercely competitive, it also has a lot of traffic.

This failure has already made Ji Zhuo understand that you must not write such a large category of novels, otherwise your writing style will be unflattering, and the readership base is there.

If you don't pay attention, if you write well, it will explode.

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Zhuo went on to read the news of other authors.

"It's almost done writing novels: What's nonsense? Let me tell the truth. I won't talk about Xianxia, ​​the big guys are all good at writing. It's really hard to mix martial arts, sports, and fantasy? These categories are hard to mix?

I've almost written a novel: Nima, I had a brain twitch before and wrote a martial arts novel, and it hit the street so much that I almost doubted life.There may not necessarily be a fine novel in the entire category in a year. "

The author's words are more in line with Ji Zhuo's thinking.
These categories are typical niche categories.

Martial arts has actually been somewhat eliminated,
I am used to seeing the power system that destroys mountains and seas and destroys heaven and earth in fantasy novels,

Looking back at the kind of martial arts novels that fight back and forth and can't knock down mountains, it is really hard to make people more excited.

As for Gao Wu's novels, to be honest, they are actually fantasy.

And sports,

The main thing is that the subject matter is limited, and there is only room for sports themes to expand.
Over and over again, it is nothing more than starting from the perspective of the coach and the perspective of the athlete, but no matter what the angle of entry is, the core is actually a sports event, and it is difficult to write anything.

It is no problem to drag it directly to the city by itself, and it can be classified into a small category.

The last fantasy.

The minority is mainly a matter of sense of substitution,
Fantasy backgrounds are often Western backgrounds,

Most of the readers on Shiyue.com are domestic readers, so they naturally lack a sense of substitution for fantasy novels.

Fewer people are watching, and naturally fewer people are writing, and the traffic of the entire channel is even lower.

Which category and subject matter should I write about?
Ji Zhuo was thinking,

Just sent another message.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Guys, which of these categories do you think is the least popular?

It’s almost time to write a novel: Why, the boss wants to challenge, let’s come to martial arts, martial arts need talents like the boss.

The basket is flying: Heh, you martial arts are hard to mix with sports?Do you want to write a sports essay?Recently, there is a shortage of good sports novels to read. "
