All right, I'm not sure either.
I'll try, hahaha.
Chapter 53: The Journey of Writing
This chapter is about my journey as an author.
Feel free to take a look if you're interested.
If not, you can ignore it.
I started writing for the same reasons as other authors.
First, for certain reasons, I wanted to write.
Second, I wanted to see if I could make a little money from writing.
As a newcomer, I first wrote on Qidian.
Back then, I was just writing for my own amusement, without any thought of signing a contract.
I wrote off and on.
Still, I always hoped someone would read it.
In the end, I got some followers, but there was no response at all.
I looked it up and found out Qidian had this thing called bot follows.
It gave me PTSD.
Then I moved to Maomao, since a friend told me Maomao didn't have bots.
The readers there were also pretty forgiving.
At first, my goal was modest: I just wanted real people to read it.
I was pretty happy to see one or two new followers each day.
When I reached thirty thousand words, I applied for a contract. As expected, I was rejected.
I kept writing, and after I reached Chapter 15,
I had thirty-five followers.
Don't laugh. It really wasn't many.
But I was genuinely happy.
Still, having no response from dozens of people nearly brought back my PTSD.
So in the next chapter, I asked about it right in the chapter title.
After that, I finally got some activity.
Some readers left reviews, some commented in the discussion thread, and some voted.
I confirmed my friend hadn't lied to me and that the followers were real people, so I kept writing.
I'd like to thank the
