A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 8

"You came?"

The arrival of Song Lingyun made Tang Yin feel like a coincidence.

It was also yesterday, after reviewing Xia Yan's novel manuscript, Song Lingyun came to contribute.

Just as Xia Yan was sent away today, Song Lingyun came back less than half a minute later.

Both of them are students of No. [-] Middle School, and they don't know each other yet.
After expelling these useless thoughts from her mind, Tang Yin started a new round of work.

This kind of on-site review is the daily work of the editors of Red Maple Literature. Everyone basically takes turns to be on duty. Most likely none.

Most newcomer novel authors mainly submit their manuscripts by mail. After all, not everyone lives in Nancheng and has time to visit in person.

And yesterday
However, Tang Yin received two on-site submissions of novels that she thought had great potential, one of which was naturally Xia Yan's Journey of Youth.

And the other one is Song Lingyun's Yesterday's Starlight.

Although she felt that the plot of Starlight yesterday was worse than Journey of Youth, it was actually a very interesting novel.

So for tomorrow's serialization meeting, yesterday's Xingguang work is also one of the manuscripts that Tang Yin is going to submit for review.

Yesterday, Song Lingyun was also asked to revise some details of the manuscript and send it back today.

Therefore, the flow of conversation between Tang Yin and Song Lingyun this time is similar to what she said to Xia Yan before.

The novel types of Yesterday's Starlight and Youth Journey are similar, and the periodicals that allow the two novels to be serialized also overlap.

The two novels are actually in a state of competition with each other!

The difference is that Song Lingyun is not as picky as Xia Yan, as long as the novel works can pass the serialization decision at the serialization meeting, even if it is in the journal Orange Heart, which has a sales volume of only [-] to [-], she has no objection.

"So I want to remind you that although the review results of the serial meeting are still unknown, you have to be prepared for whether the work can pass or not. If you can't pass, adjust your mentality and don't be discouraged."

"But if you can pass, then the pressure of serialization is not small. I don't want your novel to be unfinished, interrupted, unfinished, eunuchs, etc. due to slow creation speed or other reasons. There are still two or three days before the school starts, so try to perfect the idea of ​​the follow-up plot of the novel..." Tang Yin said in a deep voice, her pretty face was full of seriousness.

"I see. Thank you, Editor Tang, for reminding me." Song Lingyun's expression also became serious.

After all, she is a normal sophomore girl in high school. Although she is pretty, she has almost no social experience. Writing novels is just a hobby and ideal, and she does it secretly without telling her family.

Faced with Tang Yin's serious words, he was indeed under psychological pressure.

Broken, unfinished, exhausted inspiration
Song Lingyun didn't know if these things would happen after she really became a serialized light novel writer.

Because she really only took half a month to conceive the plot of Yesterday’s Starry Sky’s novel to Chapter 4, and then wrote it and mustered up the courage to submit it, but whether the plot content of the novel later will have the above-mentioned problems in her heart There is no bottom.

"Don't call me Editor Tang, and don't call me Sister Tang, just call me Tang Yin. I'm not a few years older than you, so don't call me old." Tang Yin frowned and quickly corrected her.

you?

Song Lingyun paused, "You guys"?This plural title, besides me, who else?
In her mind, she thought of the boy who was suspected of being an alumnus from the same school she had passed by before.

I remember reading the author’s signature on the first page of his submission yesterday, it must be Xia Yan.
There are still two days before school starts. If you are really a student from the same school, pay attention after school starts.

After all, she wrote and contributed romance novels secretly without telling her family. Song Lingyun was a top student in the eyes of her parents since she was a child, and a dignified young lady in the eyes of her relatives and friends.My heart is actually very complicated.

I don't dare to reveal the things I like, but when I find someone in the same school doing the same thing as her, I can't help feeling like I have found the same kind.

When Xia Yan returned home, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been busy with this matter for several days, and now he finally had a good start.

However, Tang Yin's words today also reminded Xia Yan that the three chapters of the novel he submitted are not enough. The content of the next plot is the key.

Xia Yan didn't waste any time, put down his backpack and got into the room to code and write.

In a flash. Two days have passed.

It's February [-]th
The day of the serialization meeting of Hongfeng Literature.

Early in the morning, Tang Yin came to the company with the manuscript of the novel she wanted to submit.

Inside the company, the atmosphere is actually tense today.

Competition is actually everywhere. Colleagues in the editorial department are usually friendly, but in the serialization meeting, they are full of tongues and tongues. No matter which editor they are, they definitely hope that the submissions they receive can be as good as they are. Successfully obtained serialization in the company's periodicals.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the editors of the entire editorial department all entered the company's largest conference room and sat around a round table in a serious atmosphere.

The novels produced by Hongfeng Literature as a whole are mostly youth love novels. Of course, in fact, all types of novels are accepted, but among the five major light novel book clubs in Nancheng, Hongfeng Literature has an obvious reputation advantage in serial works on youth love themes .

Every day and every week, the number of novel manuscripts submitted to Red Maple Literature is very large. The editors who received the submissions only selected a few novels they liked and submitted them to the serialization meeting. Pick the best of the best.

As for whether the final work can be serialized, it will be discussed by all the editors and editor-in-chief present.Of course, the decision-making power rests with the editor-in-chief of the editorial department, and other editors can only express their own opinions. How to make a decision depends entirely on the editor-in-chief.

At 40:[-], Han Yun, the editor-in-chief of Hongfeng Literature, took her seat. She is in her [-]s, with an elegant temperament and a thin body, but her shrewdness can be seen from the reflection of her glasses.

Because Red Maple Literature submits a lot of teenage love works, the company's editorial team is basically about [-]% to [-]% female, and the serialization meeting started.
Beside each editor's desk participating in the meeting, there are stacks of manuscripts that have been sorted out in order and fully photocopied.

Almost. There are more than 30 selected novels waiting for review.
"First of all, the first novel. "That Summer" is a new work by Mr. Chu Xi, a senior light novel writer who has a cooperative relationship with our book club for four years. This novel has a delicate plot and novel character settings. Compared with her previous works There has been a certain breakthrough.”

The editor who submitted this manuscript began to give a brief introduction of the novel to the colleagues present. During this process, the entire conference room was filled with the sound of flipping paper.

After 2 minutes, everyone started talking like they were in a vegetable market
"I don't think Chapter 1 is too attractive, and the market response to this kind of weak heroine is actually mediocre."

"But there are no absolutes in the world. Newcomers may not be able to write well when writing this kind of heroine, but according to Teacher Chuxi, everyone knows her strength. The previous work "She in the Cloud!" "It has been serialized in "Red Maple" for three months, and the praise rate is very high."

"But this novel Chapter 1 is obviously not as good as "She in the Cloud!" "Chapter 1 is interesting, so there is no way to connect the two."

Tang Yin was on the sidelines and didn't interrupt. The editors who were arguing at the meeting at this moment were all aiming at this serialization meeting. They were working hard on "Red Maple", the only recent serialization seat of the company's front journal, and these, and her It doesn't matter, she didn't have any novels suitable for serialization in "Red Maple" at this serialization meeting.

She thinks the quality of Journey of Youth's novels is enough, but Xia Yan is a newcomer writer, which is a big problem. Editor-in-chief Han Yun will not take the risk of agreeing to serialize Journey of Youth in "Red Maple".

After arguing for 1 minute, editor-in-chief Han Yun spoke.
"To be determined!"
