Chapter 61: Testimonials on the Shelf
Chapter 61: A Message on the Shelf
This is my Nth testimonial, and with 2 minutes to go before the book hits the shelves, I’m honestly panicking.
This panic does not only come from the first time to try a new subject, but also from the original of a certain “fear”, after all, old readers brothers know, before the two original pouncing that called a miserable.
Once the old road I thought my life’s writing career will stop in the field of the same person and will not have any too many variables, in fact, think about it carefully that is not a beautiful thing, after all, has been staying in their own comfort zone, although it will be said that do not think about making progress, but if there is no trouble, that and carefree and what is the difference?
However, the environment is always changing, just as fate will not let everyone’s life is smooth, ups and downs and waves are necessary, it can be a lot of cowardly injection of forced courage.
Yes, I’m talking about me!
That’s the coward in me I’m talking about.
After Shadow Tracks and Dawn Tracks I seemed to recognize my limits, but a series of upheavals in the homoerotic field that began in the middle of this year forced me to embark on a third attempt at originality.
With the first two failures still fresh in my mind, it was really hard to describe the apprehension and anxiety that made me start writing for the third time.
It was almost hard for me to find a reason to believe that I would be able to make the transition successfully; after all, I’m also over thirty years old, and in any other industry, this is the time when I would have been channeled into society as a great talent!
Thank goodness there’s no such shamelessness in my line of work.
But in the month since the new book was uploaded, all the data performed beyond my expectations, and the confidence boost from the facts dispelled the uneasy haze in my heart, making me realize that this time I might be able to bet a little something on a gamble.
Bet that I can reap the benefits of everyone’s love for this story.
Slow start? Old subject matter? Poor characterization?
Yes, I admit that all of these problems exist, but I believe that an old story with 100,000 words of heartfelt preparation for the outline and timeline alone can still be loved by my fellow readers.
I feel like I’m talking a big game here.
So let’s prove this consistent philosophy of mine with facts!
I firmly believe that as long as you put your heart and soul into something, the world will always come back to you with something that will keep it going.
I believe that no matter how much times change, no matter where the tide turns, a good story will never be buried!
I am Lao Lu.
A storyteller, a bookwriter, and a stinking yardman.
Now, please make a pot of tea and wait for this story to continue.
