Suddenly, I received a notification from the editor that the book was going on sale for a fee.
Seeing the words "for a fee," I bet a lot of people are cursing . Before you curse , could you listen to ramble a bit?
First, charging a fee is a decision made by the website, authors have no say in the matter.
Second, authors need to make a living too. It might only take you a minute or two to read a Chapter, but for the author, it can take an hour or even longer. After each Chapter is written, I have to ensure its quality and check it carefully twice.
Third, authors are humans who need sustenance too! A Chapter is just a di, and subscribing monthly or to a mbership costs just a few cents, not adding up to more than a few dis a day! By buying one less skin, smoking a few less cigarettes, you can support an author.
Fourth, if you like this book, why not spend so book coins to support it? If it’s not to your taste, no big deal. It’s not like you are being forced to buy, right?
Fifth, I can finally update freely in the future! No longer do I have to worry about the editor holding back from updating. I can update however I want! Ha ha ha ... From now on, I’ll guarantee at least six updates a day! Starting tomorrow afternoon at twelve, it’s ti for a burst of updates! Let’s have a blast!!
Lastly, I would like to share so personal thoughts.
I’ve been writing for six years now, and it’s truly been hard! I haven’t made any money; it’s all been about working just to survive and to write.
I’ve switched many jobs, moved bricks on a construction site, carried mud in the Heilong River under heavy snow at minus twenty-sothing degrees, worked as a security guard, lived in a basent, all just to keep pursuing my humble dream of writing! Hoping one day I could make a living solely through writing online.
My family doesn’t understand, saying I’m not pursuing a proper career! Friends mock , thinking I have no talent in writing and that I’m just fooling around!!
To this day, raising two kids on my own, relying on borrowed money to pay their school fees, when I pick them up from school every day and see other kids eating snacks and drinking milk, hearing my own kids cry, my heart aches!!!
I only have my solitary path to march on!!
But I am still persevering!!
So, I hope everyone can subscribe to the genuine version! Give a bit of your support!!
Thank you!
Explosion of updates tomorrow at noon! Rember to show your support, folks!!
