Chapter 84: Listing Thoughts

Thank you:

Thank you to the most beautiful editor from Yuewen, Huya, for her careful guidance, saving me from taking detours, and for her encouragement and insistence on updates, which kept me from slacking off and pushed me to keep going.

Thank you to the vast number of dear readers for their constant company, subscriptions, gifts, and votes.

You are both my bread and butter, and my dearest friends and family.

Accompaniment is the most enduring confession of love. Little Fish will use the best state of mind to write the most beautiful words, to make you, thoroughly enjoy!

Sacrifices:

Here are a few good books to sacrifice.

Take a look when you have time.

The first book: "Reborn Kitty: Are You My Pooper Scooper?" Author: My Little Carp

(A programmer dies suddenly from overwork and wakes up as a little orange cat with awakened talents.

One: You stand at the pinnacle of feline beauty;

Two: Sage’s Aura;

Three: Nine Lives;

Four: Aura of Luck;

Well, time to find a pooper scooper and live a life of ease and indolence.)

...

The second book: "I Have a Scroll of Folk Profession" Author: Lin Yu’s Bai

(Choose the first profession as the master of the mundane world:

[Zombie]: Copper Skin and Iron Bones, Immense Strength, Fearless to Toxins, Immune to Curses

[Aroma Eater]: Incense Lighting in the Stove, Gathering Yang to Expel Evil, Strengthening Spirit and Reviving Soul

[Kitchen God]: Setting up an altar for offerings, igniting the stove, refining all things through worship)

...

The third book: "Cultivating Immortality: My Efforts Will Surely Pay Off" Author: Run With a Dust-Smeared Face

(Mortal path, stable, calm, divine reward for hard work, decisive in killing

Chen Yi crosses into a world of cultivation, born with a purple-gold life pattern:

[Noble Purple Gold: Reward comes from diligence; persistence will surely lead to achievements.]

With this life pattern, even though he is the lowest ranked indentured servant of the Gong family, Chen Yi is not discouraged.)

...

Now, for some words from the heart:

...

A full-time author for ten years.

Time flies, and before you know it, I’ve grown old.

Little Fish has written eight books.

Just like diligent farmers, day after day, year after year, tirelessly working at their writing.

It’s enough to make a living.

I still remember writing my first book with confusion, not knowing how to write, just rambling on, yet it was signed right away. I was so excited.

Writing up to four hundred thousand words without being published, the editor begged me, "Start a new book, this one is making no profit, it’s a waste of effort."

I said I still wanted to write.

I was stubborn.

Back then, I wrote with such energy. The feeling of writing a book was like playing a game, addictive.

Years went by.

One book after another was written.

When a hobby becomes a job.

When the job becomes a burden...

I don’t know from which day it started, but writing novels gradually became painful.

Waking up each day, I would sit beside the computer, racking my brains and struggling to write a single Chapter.

Perhaps, this is the norm for authors.

Inspiration dries up, spirits tire, the body weakens...

Even the damn interest begins to fade.

At this time, what’s needed is responsibility, as well as motivation.

Oh, this isn’t The Voice, so let’s not wallow in self-pity.

...

Little Fish has yet to write a blockbuster that could feed me for a lifetime.

There’s a great sense of unrest in my heart.

Fight, for a bright and sunny future, for a magnificent tomorrow.

The readers of my old books know, Little Fish never abandons a series; every one of them is completed. My professionalism is solid.

Of course, there were a few books that ended abruptly.

But that was in hopes of starting a better new book to offer everyone, so it’s forgivable, right? Yes, forgivable.

With the eighth book, Little Fish plans to write a long story, over five million words if possible.

Of course, this will require everyone’s utmost support.

A one-man show can’t go on forever.

Dancing gracefully onstage.

Beneath an indifferent light, silent and with no applause, the play loses its meaning, doesn’t it?

You give your best support.

Little Fish will reciprocate with utmost effort, updating desperately, pouring heart and soul into the work.

That’s how it is.

You treat me as a National Scholar, and I shall repay you as one...

This is not a matter of you not subscribing, so I won’t write. It’s more that what Little Fish writes is actually meant to be thrilling and enjoyable.

These years, upon introspection, it seems clear that when emotions are stirred, the writing becomes imbued with soul, and the novel looks a bit better.

But when the mood is low and bleak, the writing becomes a bit numb, and the novel isn’t as engaging.

Some say that writing requires inspiration.

But I never understood what exactly inspiration is.

For me, writing requires emotion.

Thinking about how many people are reading this crappy story I wrote brings me such joy. It’s like drinking fake alcohol; a thousand words flood my heart, and my writing flows divinely.

That boiling blood sensation is something anyone who has been drunk knows; just grab anyone, and you could talk for two hours straight without a single hiccup.

Little Fish is like that too.

I got my initial subscriptions as soon as I was published. Whenever you could, whether you had money or not, you all came to support me.

With subscriptions, you increase your Cultivation; with Monthly Passes, you sharpen your blades, helping Zhou Ping’an cut out a bright world, achieving Longevity.

Tonight at midnight, don’t miss out.
