New Book Period Bonus Update Plan

Originally, I planned to write 4,000 words a day, since that counted as a regular update.

Then, once the book got recommended, I'd add extra updates from time to time—roughly one every two or three days.

I wouldn't call myself a hopelessly slow typist, but my writing speed definitely wasn't fast.

I'd originally imagined I could finish a chapter in about an hour and a half. After all, with my old book, if I didn't need to look up any information, I could finish it in around an hour and ten minutes, including later revisions.

But... well, a chapter now took about two hours, and that didn't even include the time for later checks and revisions.

On one hand, many things in this new book hadn't been finalized yet, so there was more to think about and more information to research. On the other hand... even I didn't know why. I just couldn't get my speed up. (Covering my head, don't hit me.) Maybe after writing for a while longer and getting used to it, I'd speed up a bit. For now, though, there was nothing I could do.

On top of that, I was only writing part-time.

Well, I had to eat. A flopped author couldn't support a little girl crying to be fed by writing alone.

By the way, the little girl was pretty smart.

She knew all sorts of things before she was even two...

Did that count as good genes?

There was no hope for me anymore.

Maybe she could grow up to be someone outstanding? (Covering my head for safety.)

Who knew, maybe she'd have what it took to get into Tsinghua and Peking University someday.

Her education had to keep up.

Just thinking about it was already giving me a headache. Schooling cost way too much these days.

Roughly calculated, education alone would probably cost close to a million!

I only regretted not knowing any immortal arts—I couldn't conjure money out of thin air...

Ahem, I was getting off topic.

In short, once I went full-time someday, maybe then I'd dare to imagine what it felt like to update 10,000 words a day.

6,000 words a day wasn't impossible, but as things stood, that would mean eating, sleeping, and writing nonstop. That was way too intense—a pace that would wreck me sooner or later. During the new book period, I wanted to be a little kinder to myself.

After talking so much, I wasn't complaining. I just wanted to let everyone know the current situation.

As a flopped author who wanted to make writing novels into a career, I wasn't looking to make a fortune. I just wanted to earn a little money to support my family.

To do that, full attendance was essential.

Luckily, from the looks of things so far, whether the first-subscription count could reach 500 still depended on what happened next. But reaching an average of 500 subscriptions after three months of paid release shouldn't be much of a problem, so everyone could feel free to favorite, subscribe, tip, and go for the full package.

If the average reached 500 after release, I'd do my best to update three times a day. (I heard that an average of 500 subscribers meant an extra 2,000 words a day could earn another 700 yuan a month. Was that a lot? For those 700 yuan, this author was going all out.)

Back to the point. The update plan for this book was simple: as long as it was on recommendation during the new book period, there would be one extra update every three days. Without recommendations, the bonus-update plan would end, and it would return to the regular two updates a day until release. That was a little more than others updated, so it counted as a bit of an advantage, right?

Yesterday, a big shot asked whether tips would earn bonus updates.

Of course they would!

During this period, any 10,000-coin tip would earn an extra update.

There was no upper limit on this promise!

If a big shot gave an Alliance Leader tip, I'd add ten updates!

If someone gave a Silver Alliance Leader tip, that would be a hundred updates!

Anyway, boasting cost nothing, so it was settled.

But there would be at most one extra update per day. If I couldn't manage it, I'd carry the debt over and keep repaying it after release.

As for no big shots tipping... ahem, everyone could just pretend they hadn't seen what I said above.

Wasn't it normal for flopped authors not to have Alliance Leaders?

As for 10,000-coin tips... if I got desperate, I'd give one to myself!

What if I became popular... ahem, at worst, I'd carry it over to the next book to repay it... (That sentence was nonsense. Cross it out. I had to become popular!!)

Also, This plan only applied during the new book period. As for the plan after release, I'd decide based on the results before release.
