A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 2 Writing
her name
My name is Yuan Qing.
Yuan Qing?

Xia Yan, who was writing furiously on his desk, at a certain moment, remembered the name of the girl whose soul memory was silent in the depths of his mind.

As if suddenly remembering the name of his kindergarten friend, Xia Yan felt an inexplicable sense of excitement, but the excitement quickly faded away, leaving only distress.

Many ordinary people think that writing novels is quite easy, and writing quickly means writing thousands of words every day.

But think about it, [-] characters are equal to twelve [-]-character essays. How many students are poor at writing [-]-character essays for a Chinese test paper? pain of.

Xia Yan is in this state now. He thought it would be easy for him to compile the content into a novel version of the "Journey of Youth" animation plot in his memory, but in fact
The characters, environment, demeanor, and detailed descriptions are completely different from his usual Japanese writing.

Haven't eaten pork, haven't seen a pig run yet?

Xia Yan has never written light novels before, but he has read a lot of light novels in Longguo, and his writing ability is not low, but his appreciation ability is not low.

I spent two hours writing something, and when I look back, what did I write?Embarrassed to death.

"Sure enough. It's not that easy." Xia Yan actually expected this situation.

He still has a certain degree of confidence in his Chinese skills, but good Chinese does not necessarily mean that the description of the novel will be smooth.

And even though Xia Yan adapted the light novel according to the animation plot in his mind, it doesn't mean that the novel he wrote will definitely have the same excellent viewing experience as the original.

Just like the girl named Yuan Qing who merged with Xia Yan's soul, there is an animation called [-] Centimeters Per Second in the world she lives in. After the animation achieved success, two different versions of the official novel were actually adapted.

One of the versions is a small version written by Makoto Shinkai, the original author of the animation, and the other is a novel written by a professional novelist based on the original animation.
They are both Second Five's novel versions, with the same main story line, but the two official novels have a completely different reading experience when you read them seriously.

Xia Yan let out a long breath, and he looked at the pile of words he had just written on the table.

Too many irrelevant descriptions
While writing and correcting, Xia Yan gradually became tired, until he couldn't bear it and went to bed, and only handwritten about [-] novel articles based on the animation plots in his memory.

The speed is actually quite slow.

in sleep.
In Xia Yan's dream, she once again turned into the girl named Yuan Qing.
The timeline of dreaming this time did not continue the part of getting off the plane and sleeping last night.

This time, she was playing a gun battle online game at the computer desk, controlling Cui Zhiyun, Anna and other female characters, and had a great time killing zombies.

"Hey, let's recall the memory content of the second half of the animation you watched about Youth Journey! You are playing a gunfight game with wool."

Xia Yan complained wildly in his mind, but it was obvious that the girl in his memory would not be disturbed by his words, after all, these were just memories.

In the morning, Xia Yan wakes up, cs, cf, dungeon, Yuanshen.
During these eight hours, the girl took turns playing the game on each of her fully equipped accounts, and did not continue the follow-up plot of the journey of youth at all.

However, Xia Yan thinks that watching other people play games is also very interesting, and he also watched it for eight hours, and the satisfaction of girls playing games will be passed on to Xia Yan, so in fact, his sense of game experience is also very fulfilling.

After stretching, he looked at the desk again.

"Okay, come on! I have to write at least the first few chapters of the novel today."

Xia Yan writes vigorously, and his learning speed is also very fast. The writing that was jerky last night has also become smooth.

Really Kawen, I don’t know how to describe a certain text, so I directly pick up the existing light novel works of Longguo as a reference to see how others deal with it.
Gradually, more and more manuscripts were placed on Xia Yan's desk, and some novels about Journey of Youth adapted from Longguo's campus, society, and environment also entered a successful mode.

However, these are only first drafts. After writing, you have to check for typos, polish the article, and double-check it.

three days later.
Xia Yan almost converted the content of the first 5.9 episodes of Youth Journey that the girl named Yuan Qing in her soul had read before into a novel text of quality he could recognize.

Why episode 5.9?Because Xia Yan hadn't finished watching the end of the sixth episode of animation, the girl went to bed, and he stopped there.

And in the past three days, Xia Yan once again substituted the memory of the girl in her sleep last night, and went to the comic exhibition to participate in cosplay activities
As for the previous two nights, I just slept normally, nothing happened.

This also made Xia Yan understand that this kind of situation of chasing through Yuan Qing's soul memory in sleep, Xia Yan can't control it at least at this stage, and can only see if the situation will change in the future.

As for Xia Yan looking back on his dream last night, to be honest, this feeling is very strange, it is a brand new feeling that Xia Yan has never experienced before. Enjoy the admiration of passers-by, take photos, take pictures, post, hug, and play with the high-quality female coser friends Yuan Qing met in that world.
Snapped!
Xia Yan slapped himself.

"How can you envy such a life? You are a man!" Xia Yan looked at himself in the mirror.

Terrified by the thought I'd had inside myself of going to a comic-con in a gothic lolita outfit.

Am I a pervert?
Xia Yan took a little longer to adjust his mentality.

There are still five days left before the start of school, and his time will not be so free after the start of school, and what he needs now is to submit his own light novels in the remaining five days.

Dragon Kingdom, one of the most powerful countries on this planet, has a population of 15 billion, accounting for one-sixth of the world's population.

The overall national income has basically entered the high-income class, which belongs to the middle and upper reaches of the world.

After the people got rid of the survival predicament, like many middle- and high-income countries, sports, sports, and entertainment industries have flourished in this country.

Among them, the Two-dimensional industry with games, comics, novels, animation, etc. as the main body, has developed into one of the pillar industries of Dragon Kingdom in 30 years. Not only the people of Dragon Kingdom love it, but these cultural works are also It is sold overseas and is world famous.

The national acceptance of the Two-dimensional industry is high, so the status of creators of Two-dimensional works will naturally rise.

Well-known novelists, cartoonists, and animation creators enjoy a high status in the country. Of course, the income of these people is also huge.

The reason is very simple. The island country in the memory of the girl named Yuan Qing is also a country with extremely developed two-dimensional industries, but how many people are there in that area?Only [-] million people can create a group of creators of animation, comics, and novels that are famous and high-income in that world.

However, Longguo has a huge market of more than one billion people, and the creators of various Two-dimensional works naturally earn far more than that world.

Of course, signing a contract with a top publishing house is still a long way for Xia Yan. For those light novel serial publication platforms that sell millions or even more than [-] million per issue, it is impossible for their editorial department to use Xia Yan, a newcomer. s work.

No matter how good your work is, how attractive the opening plot is.

Newcomers mean great risks, unfinished, interrupted updates, creators disappearing, responsible editors all over the world looking for novel authors to submit manuscripts, this kind of thing is countless in the light novel world of Longguo, famous creators are like this, newcomer.
Those industry giants will not easily take risks and cooperate with newcomers.

So Xia Yan didn't bother to submit the manuscript he had written in a few days to those top book clubs.

Moreover, the headquarters of those top light novel serial companies are basically concentrated in the imperial capital, the magic capital and other first-tier cities. If Xia Yan submits manuscripts by mail, the speed is too slow.

His goal is to locate five large-scale light novel serial publishing houses in Nancheng, the capital of Nan Province.

In the light novel industry, the competition is also huge, except for a few top light novel publishing houses whose works can be read all over the country, and can be sold in every province.

Most of the small, medium and large-scale light novel publishing houses whose headquarters are only located in the local provincial capitals, their published works are also popular in the province, or a few provinces near the base camp.

In fact, this is also very normal. How can any company have the funds, strength, and background to establish a national or even global sales network?
No matter what industry, the establishment of sales channels is very difficult. Being able to have influence in the local area is the result of fighting with other competitors for a long time.

However, although the influence of this kind of local novel serial publishing house in Southern Province is not the same as that of "Starry Sky Fiction", "Qingze Bookstore" and other top light novel publishing houses, its influence and distribution channels cover the whole dragon country.

But these five, at least within the scope of the southern province's base camp, have a lot of sales. Just counting their sales of fiction periodicals in the local area, it is no lower than the sales of the top national periodicals in the southern province.

Of course, the quality of serial works in periodicals must be quite poor. The reason why the sales volume is similar is that local publishing companies only use their own sales territory, establish local sales channel networks, periodical publicity, discount strength, etc. Naturally, compared with Those top bookstores that are distracted from the national market have certain advantages.

Since the internal strength is not comparable, then practice the external strength
After copying seven or eight copies of his handwritten manuscript at a printing shop, Xia Yan took out his student bus card and walked out of the gate of his community.
