Tonight, after returning home, I sat in front of my laptop for three hours.
Then, I started writing, then deleted, then wrote again, then deleted again …
Now, 11: 50 pm, Chapter 902, still only a few hundred words!
It's hard to say, since when did I find that writing new chapters became strenuous, I became procrastinating, I became sitting in front of the computer thinking hard, but I couldn't write a chapter even after half a day.
Also, I became stuck asking for leave every two to three days.
What's the reason?
Stuck, it's real.
But actually, it's not "real".
Rather than saying that I'm "stuck" in the plot, it's better to say that I'm stuck with time.
After this book was published, there weren't any drafts left. Every day, I would rush out the chapters after returning home at night.
My writing speed is very slow, on average, I only write around one thousand words per hour.
Because of that, I can only squeeze out four thousand words per day. Every time I upload it, it's usually in the wee hours of the morning, or in the early morning of the second night, I would rush for a while and then upload it at noon.
So, every day, I have to rush.
During the day, I have to think of the plot, then try my best to type it out within the time limit, hurriedly upload it … As a result, most of the time, I don't even have time to correct the typos.
This situation doesn't just happen for one or two days, but every day since the book was published.
It can be said that in this year since the book was published, I almost always go to bed after midnight.
This situation, to be honest, is really stressful.
Every day, when I open my eyes, I will find a daily task of "two chapters" waiting for me. Moreover, it's 365 days a year, rain or shine.
But many times, when it comes to the outline of the plot or the setting of the attributes of the equipment, I don't have enough time to write in detail …
But, as a web novel, I have to ensure that the updates are as stable as possible. If I break it frequently, not only will the readers give up, the editors will not recommend it.
Under such circumstances, I can only choose to use some things on the surface to make up the number of words.
For example, the chapters from yesterday and the day before yesterday, everyone should be able to feel that compared to the beginning of the White City plot, it's much slower.
The reason was that after a few days of unstable updates, I really didn't dare to stop updating.
So, he managed to come up with two "two-in-one" chapters in a row, but in reality, there wasn't much real content at all. (Not only was the two-in-one chapter in Chapter 901 watered down, but it also shrunk … This is being honest. Can I be lenient?)
…
Although the frequency at which this book stopped updating was indeed a little high,
But what everyone doesn't know is that every time I stop updating, my heart is tense.
Every time he couldn't finish the chapter he needed for the day even after holding back for a long time, he would feel greatly relieved after receiving a "leave of absence" from the backstage.
But then, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Worried about subscriptions, worried about everyone's attitude, worried about negative comments …
In fact, every time I stopped updating, before I released the next day's chapter update.
He didn't even dare to look at the comments section or the author's platform, because he always felt that he would be scolded and criticized …
Of course, thanks to everyone, this book stopped updating every two to three days.
Surprisingly, there were still so many readers who didn't leave me, and even tipped me when I stopped updating. Almost no one scolded me. I really have to thank everyone!
But this state of carrying the pressure of updating every day was really unbearable.
Every day, I had to force myself to come up with 4,000 words, and I tried my best to split these 4,000 words into two chapters (Luckily, I learned two-in-one later on …)!
I really want to say that this isn't what I wanted.
My original intention in writing this book was to write out the story in my head.
And to write it out brilliantly.
Not like now, for the sake of subscriptions, for the sake of full attendance, for the sake of continuous updating, for the sake of constantly updating, for the sake of forcing myself to reach the goal of 4,000 words every day.
This really isn't what I wanted!
…
After saying so much, I actually wanted to say that Ten Luminaries wanted to ask everyone for a favor.
From now on, the updates of this book will be more free. I don't ask for two chapters every day, but I will write in a way that every chapter will have more substantive content.
I will still have all the free time to write, but the update time will be more casual!
Of course, this doesn't mean that the number of updates will be greatly reduced, and I won't have to worry about the "rhythm of the book being left unfinished".
Once again, this book definitely won't be left unfinished (Yes, as long as nothing unexpected happens to the author's body).
Feng Luo still has a long way to go, and this book is also very long … Moreover, the plot of the final section will definitely exceed everyone's expectations.
Yes, actually, I think that if I update freely like this.
In a situation where there's less pressure on the word count, I might actually be able to write more.
Perhaps, I might even be able to update three times a day …

Cough, last but not least, I'm sending out one last request for leave today … I won't ask for leave in the future …
