Thank you to all the lovely readers who have supported Da Long.
Your support has given this beginner the motivation to keep writing.
Just as I wrote in my diary about struggling as a writer,
I can work toward something I love and have already set out on that path,
while also receiving your support and encouragement.
I'm already luckier than most beginner writers.
I'd also like to thank Penglai, my editor at Group Nine, for giving me a chance to get started.
Without an outline, writing hasn't gone very smoothly, and my stats have kept getting worse. After thinking it over, I've decided to go premium.
It's not purely about making money; it's also a way to give myself the motivation to keep writing.
Beginner writers aren't afraid of flopping, because if a book flops, they can drop it without any pressure.
What's really hard is starting with a promising opening, then getting worse and worse as you write. That kind of blow really hurts.
Over the past few days, I've had less and less motivation to write. I don't even want to check my favorites or reader engagement anymore.
To stop myself from losing all motivation one day and dropping the book, I have to give myself a push in advance.
I hope you won't mind. I really do want to finish this story.
After it goes premium, I'll do my best to keep updating six thousand characters a day, work toward reaching ten thousand a day, and move the plot along as quickly as I can.
If you're able, please support Da Long by subscribing to the first chapter.
Once again, thank you to every reader who has supported me.
