Chapter 408： The troubles of novel authors
Insomnia is commonplace for online novel writers.
Ding Kui is a novelist under the banner of Qidian Literature and a patient who has been plagued by insomnia for a long time.
He has been in contact with online novels more than ten years ago, when he was still a reader.
Later, after graduating from university, I found that there were fewer and fewer good books, and fell into a book famine, so I picked up my pen and embarked on the road of novel creation that was my own way.
But after entering the industry, I discovered that writing a novel is really not so easy, because writing and reading are two different things.
The journey was bumpy and bumpy. After seven or eight years, he went from being a young man to become a great writer. Not to mention standing at the top of online novel creation, but he also reached the middle and upper levels.
In the eyes of his parents, he became the pride of the two elders, and in the eyes of relatives and friends, he became the object of their envy.
Even after the first love partner learned that he was writing a novel and earning millions in a year, he started chatting with him every three times, saying how bad her husband was and how bad-tempered her husband is, how difficult she is now, how regretful she broke up with him at that time, I miss the time they were together.
Ding Kui just listened to these nonsense, he was timid, but he didn't dare to hook up with her.
However, to be honest, if he can choose again, he will definitely not step into the line of novel creation again.
What others see is the glory of his success, but they don't know how much effort he put in behind his back, or what he suffered because of it.
In the past few years, he stayed up late writing for a long time in order to make money with codewords, overdrawing a lot of physical energy, and didn't know how many brain cells he died.
As a result, the whole person is now completely in a sub-healthy state. Insomnia, obesity, myopia, hair loss, and tinnitus have all found him who is only 29 years old.
He didn't even know when he discovered that he was suffering from amnesia, and his thinking became very stagnant, often unable to concentrate, and even the logic became no longer smooth.
Later, I went to the hospital and found out that it was a neurasthenia.
For an online writer, this was a fatal blow. Because of forgetfulness and unsatisfactory logical thinking, he was no longer able to write like before and think like a fountain.
I often sit in front of the computer a day, but I can’t write a chapter, or when I write it out, I went back and found that it was all running accounts and logically unsound plots, which I could only delete with my brain.
This kind of problem has intuitively affected the grades of his new book, so that the first order of the new book is horrible, but there is no way, because many old readers are supporting him, for the sake of word-of-mouth and character, he can only continue to create.
Last night, he fell asleep early, because he suffered from insomnia halfway through, he had to get up and eat the last two melatonin and B vitamins, lying in bed tossing and turning over and over again, until the effect of the medicine worked. After that, he fell asleep.
He slept until two o'clock in the afternoon and woke up, opened his eyes and looked at the white ceiling, and the gloomy sky outside the window, his mood was as low as ever.
After getting up and getting dressed, Ding Kui picked up his mobile phone and ordered a takeaway. While shaking his heavy head, he dragged his body out of the bedroom. After going to the bathroom to wash up, he ate some of the takeaway he ordered and sat at the computer desk in the study. Before, open the laptop you usually use for codewords, and want to think about codewords.
However, because his head was heavy and his thinking was very stagnant, he found that the words he wrote were completely confusing. The bull's head did not match the horse's mouth, and he knew all the words, but when he put it together, he found that the **** didn't make sense.
"Fuck, why is it like this again, I'm so crazy!"
He had encountered this situation more than once, and forced himself to calm down and slowly revise and correct the text.
But ten minutes later, he found that he was getting more and more wrong, and the level of writing was getting worse and worse. He was so angry that he beat the keyboard a few times, and his mood suddenly collapsed. He held his head with his hands while rubbing sparsely. Hair, sobbed in a low voice.
After being sad for a while, he took a tissue and wiped away his tears. He knew that he was in this state, his thinking was confused, his logic was illogical, and he couldn't code words at all. Therefore, he didn't plan to write any more, and opened a single chapter at the end of the book. After sending the request for leave, I turned off the computer.
"It's not a problem to stay at home all day long. Let's go for a walk. It just happens that the melatonin and B vitamins are gone. Go to the pharmacy to buy some."
After changing his clothes and putting on a pair of sneakers, he picked up the phone and the key, and quickly went out.
After strolling around in the small park near where he lived, he came to a drugstore and said to the clerk: "Thank you for getting me a bottle of melatonin and a bottle of B vitamins."
The clerk nodded, went to look for it on the shelf for a while, but said: "Sorry sir, our store has sold out melatonin..."
"Is it sold out?" Ding Kui frowned, thinking that this store was sold out, so he would go to another pharmacy to sell it. There are many pharmacies on this street anyway.
However, at this time, the clerk took a bottle of medicine in black packaging and said to him: "Yes, the goods will not arrive until tomorrow morning, but sir, this Xingnao capsule is also effective. It can repair brain nerves, treat insomnia and forgetfulness. And neurasthenia, you might as well buy it and try?"
Ding Kui, who was about to leave, stopped again when he heard the clerk's words.
He glanced at the medicine bottle in the clerk's hand and asked, "Xingnao Capsule? I haven't heard of this brand of medicine before. Does it really work?"
The clerk said: "It doesn't work, you don't know until you buy it. However, the manufacturer of Xingnao Capsule said that if the medicine is not effective after taking it, you can return it at any time."
Ding Kui raised his brows and smiled: "If it doesn't work, you can return it at any time? The manufacturer of this medicine really dare to say, meaning that I bought it and took it home. If I can't treat insomnia and forgetfulness, I can come back?"
The clerk nodded: "Yes, their medicine is specially developed for insomnia patients. They are confident to solve this problem, otherwise it will not be so guaranteed.
If you buy it back and eat it and find that it doesn't work, just come to our pharmacy and refund it. "
In the past, the people who sold medicine were all uncles It is impossible to say that they would refund within seven days like selling clothes and shoes. This is the first time that Ding Kui was unsatisfied with the medicine. It was okay. Withdrawal, especially insomnia drugs.
For a while, he also found it strange. After taking the medicine bottle from the clerk, he repeatedly checked the remarks and said: "Then I will buy a bottle and try it. How much is it?"
The clerk said: "This Xingnao capsule costs 350 yuan a bottle..."
The ex-factory price is 300 yuan, but pharmacies also want to make money. A bottle of medicine with a conscience earns a few dollars, a bottle of normal order earns a few dozen, and a little bit is directly doubled.
Ding Kui was surprised: "350 yuan, it's so expensive, I think there are only 30 capsules on it. If that counts, a capsule is equivalent to a dozen yuan, too expensive..."
The clerk smiled and said, "You get what you pay for. It’s expensive to sell. There must be some truth to it. If you buy it back and use it, if it doesn’t work, then just come to our store and return the goods. Anyway, we are such a big one. The shop, you can’t run again, do you?"
Ding Kui felt that the clerk’s words made sense, so he nodded and said: "350 is 350. It really doesn't work. I will return the goods directly. By the way, get me a bottle of B vitamins."
