Writing a Novel

Writing A Novel

"Okay, Dad, you have to be careful over there," Li Yizheng said.

"Okay, okay. Dad knows. Have you eaten dinner?" Mr Li asked.

Li Yizheng sat on the bed. "I have eaten."

... ...

The two of them chatted casually.

Finally, Li Yizheng looked at the time and said to his father, "It's getting late, you should rest early."

The two of them then hung up.

After hanging up, Li Yizheng opened the trading application again and looked at the transaction amount.

It was slightly higher than the amount he bought two days ago.

Li Yizheng planned to sell all the bitcoin he had in these two days.

Then, he turned off his phone, placed it by his pillow, turned off the table lamp and sleep.

At this time, Gu Shihui after reaching home, she washed up and sat in front of her computer with her fingers typing quickly on the keyboard.

These few days, she thought about what she could do to make fast money. After thinking about it, she felt that she should return to her old profession which was writing novels.

To be honest, in Gu Shihui's opinion, the fastest way to earn money was to write novels.

2012 was the golden age of writing novels.

In her previous life, Gu Shihui not only wrote novels but also read many novels. She was a fan of books and had read many time travel novels.

It was not that she had not thought of copying a few books that were popular in her previous life such as "Fight Through The Heaven" and "Soul Land". After all, they were popular in her previous life, not only were the books popular but they had also been filmed for television and anime.

Although the netizens had different opinions about the anime and the film on television, it did not affect its popularity in the slightest and the fact that it earned money.

However, Gu Shihui thought about it and decided to forget about it because it was completely unnecessary.

Putting aside whether these works could be copied out, even if she could copy them out, it would be intense.

Therefore, Gu Shihui directly gave up this idea and planned to write it herself.

In her previous life, Gu Shihui started writing novels during the holiday after graduating from high school, which was only a few months later than when she had transmigrated back to the world.

Moreover, Gu Shihui was very clear that writing novels now was casual and did not have any requirements. She could write whatever she wanted.

But after two years, the requirements for novels were very strict.

For example, some sensitive words and sensitive plots could not pass the review.

So, she should quickly make a wave of money when the novel could be written casually and there weren't so many restrictions.

Gu Shihui did not think of the outline. Instead, she went straight into writing the first chapter about the time travel of the main character.

In fact, in her previous life, when Gu Shihui was writing novels, she realized that no matter how she wrote, she would not be able to cater to everyone's preferences.

Some readers would like your plot very much, while others would be unhappy after reading the written plot.

Then, they would pick up the keyboard and began to spout on the internet, "Do you know how to write? What kind of lousy plot is this..." and so on.

However, Gu Shihui didn't put their words to heart and got angry about it.

Writing books was to be happy, and so were those who read them. They could choose not to read them if they didn't like them.

Then, why did they have to scold when they read them? They even have to scold on the Internet and it would incite some readers who didn't have their own opinions.

Therefore, Gu Shihui called these kinds of people brainless.

In this golden age of novel writing, with Gu Shihui's novel of about seven to eight hundred thousand words in her previous life, she could write about two million words now without feeling tired.

Gu Shihui's goal was very clear. She would never go to a big website to write novels. No matter how popular that website was, she would never go there.

Gu Shihui wrote novels to make money, but the big websites would only exploit her. This was because the big websites would require the first 400,000 words to be free. That was purely using her life to make money.

In her previous life, Gu Shihui had suffered such a loss.

In her previous life, Gu Shihui could only write 700,000 to 800,000 words for a book. If the first 400,000 words were free, then the salary she would receive would be very little. It was simply not enough to do anything, it was not worth the time, energy, and brainpower she had put in.

However, she had no experience. After signing the contract on the big websites, she only found out about the matter after a portion of it had been released.

However, the contract had already been signed. It was impossible to break the contract so she could only force herself to continue writing.

After she finished writing, Gu Shihui stayed away and vowed never to write on a large website again.

This was simply killing her.

Therefore, Gu Shihui found a small website based on her memories from her previous life. She signed up and started writing a novel on it.

This website was the first one Gu Shihui found after getting away from a big website in her previous life.

Everything was good. Moreover, this website respected the copyright of the readers very much and there was no perverse censorship mechanism.

This made Gu Shihui very satisfied. After all, the awareness of copyright was very important. She might even get a lawsuit that day.

The high degree of freedom in censorship made Gu Shihui unable to resist writing a romantic scene.

She fantasized about her newlywed life with Li Yizheng. When she wrote the erotic part, it was uncontrollable.

This kind of scene was very easy to attract readers, making them unable to stop reading.

Just like fifty shades of grey, this kind of ambiguity made them curious and want to keep reading it.

That night, Gu Shihui was very enthusiastic about writing. In just four hours, she had written more than 12,000 words.

After all, Gu Shihui had her previous life experience, so she was not slow in typing at all.

She calculated that she had written about 3,000 words in an hour. Gu Shihui was quite satisfied with her speed.

In addition, she was constantly bursting with inspiration, so the process was very fast.

When it came to writing a novel, other people would spend on cigarettes, Gu Shihui would spend on candy.

Other people might have a cigarette when they were resting, when they were not inspired, or when they were excited about writing.

Gu Shihui could not smoke. It was a habit of her previous life that she always had a pile of candy beside her when she was writing a novel.

From time to time, she would eat a piece of it.

This was also a small habit of hers.

After writing 10,000 words, Gu Shihui sat in front of the computer and stretched her body. "Wow, this feels so good. My thoughts have not been so clear for a long time."

Then, she looked at the few candies left on the computer table and sighed in her heart. "Looks like I have to buy some more candies. If I continue eating like this, I might get diabetes."

But I can't help it. I'll see if I can buy sugar-free sweets when the time comes, Gu Shihui thought.

Then, she looked at the time indicated.

She picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was already one o'clock in the morning. She still had to go to school tomorrow.

Therefore, Gu Shihui did not continue writing. She put down her phone, set her alarm, and prepared to go to bed.
