Back Off, Let Me Come

The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.

Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches.

Well, although firecrackers are not allowed to be set off now, we still have to pay New Year greetings and wish all the treasures a happy New Year.

(`) Be careful

I wish everyone all the best in the new year and all your wishes come true. Students get perfect scores in the party examination and their studies go smoothly; they have a successful career in the work party and have a happy family. In addition, I would also like to wish people like me who have difficulty losing weight to wear size S in the new year!

Well, according to the event process, it is time to summarize last year - what I want to say the most, I can say a thousand words in one bow, thank you all for your tolerance of Shiitake Mushrooms last year.

A lot of things will happen in 2022.

In terms of family, Shiitake became pregnant at the beginning of the year.

The first trimester of pregnancy was a little unstable, and the update changed from a stable double update to a single update. The key is that I received a Chinese New Year gift this year, saying that I have updated 1.072 million words without stopping. I am ashamed. This is not the output of a full-time author (but It’s really fun to be alone. It’s easy to go from being frugal to being extravagant, but it’s hard to go from being extravagant to being frugal. I’ve been struggling for a whole year, and now I’m a little panicked). Fortunately, I had almost no pregnancy symptoms. I was a little tired in the third trimester of pregnancy, so I finally got a leather jacket on December 15th.

In terms of career, it is also the most exciting place for Shiitake. Because of everyone's strong support for "Retreat from Me", this book has received 9,000 subscriptions in an environment where female traffic is sluggish. This is also the first time that Shiitake has achieved such results during its ten years of serialization (when The Empress was finished, it seemed that the average order was 4,800, and the boss was worth 5,000).

In fact, when I chose to write "Retreat from Me", I was very hesitant. I was worried that I would be accused of resting on my laurels, or that it was a novel about the Empress. The heroine was either fighting or on the way to fight every day, and was she too violent? And so on... Later I thought about it, the Empress novel is very niche and unpopular. I don't have many books in this circle, and I want to write it, so why not write it?

With this impulse, I started doing it.

To be honest, when writing articles on mushrooms, there is no need for an outline.

Yes, I don’t have an outline.

The beginning was also written with a slap on the forehead. At that time, there was only a vague scene in my mind - a young girl with amnesia wakes up in exile - and then I revised it seven or eight times, choosing a suitable angle of view, and it was almost written, and then I took it. The name of the heroine gives her the qualities that poke my cuteness: she is a street addict, has a big appetite, is free and easy, is not good at painting but is very confident...

Also, I can’t drink enough.

Readers who have been following the updates also know that the inspiration for Shiitake Mushroom came from early years. The inspiration came from the fact that I had been following the update of "The Supreme Sage of Confucianism and Taoism" at that time, and I also updated "The Empress", and I thought about what would happen if the element of "following the words and following the law" was added to the process of fighting for world hegemony? How will counselors and generals, two crucial roles in war, use their respective talents?

But this scumbag of Shiitake Mushroom is just a dream if it is double-opened.

Now, I can only pick up the throbbing that passed away in the past.

The book "Return to Me" is very much like a scroll. I updated it every day to know who the characters are (this is a literary term, but in fact it means there is no outline). Qi Shan was the first scribe to appear. At first, he didn’t have that many character designs. He just wrote about it. He found that Tang Mei’s martial arts value had not been unlocked, and he couldn’t defeat the third-class hairpin for the time being, so he arranged for him to descend from the sky. The savior is Qi Yuanliang. The young scribe officially appeared. He couldn't be just a passerby. The image of the character gradually became clear in my mind. I knew his name, his past, and I vaguely understood why he happened to appear.

The same goes for the appearance of the second scribe Chu Yao.

I wanted to write about a young man who was very proud, but for some reason fell into poverty for half his life, and his pearl fell into dust, and he finally met his master. In my heart, he should have the kindness and tolerance of an elder, and the calmness and humility that have accumulated over time.

What should this person be called?

My first reaction was Yao, so I gave him the Chinese character Wuhui. This name was more like a mockery in the first half of his life, but in the second half of his life, I hope it is just right - when a good minister meets the king, the land will be filled with beauty.

After that came Gu Chi.

He was not named at the beginning, and the description of this character was not flattering. His position was biased towards the villain, and the same was true for the arrangement of the scribe. Until one day, I was stuck on his name and didn’t know what to choose. I accidentally thought of Gu Chi, and then I thought of Gucci, which is homophonic to Gucci, I thought of Wangchao, I thought of little octopus, I thought of octopus balls, I thought of a person who can listen How lonely will be the heart of a person who has the voice of his heart. He is used to seeing people's hearts, so he doesn't trust them.

Looking at the river tide from a pool of water.

So when he meets Tang Mei, he will definitely be attracted to her.

There are many, many characters, including Gong Shuwu, Lin Feng, Tu Rong, Kang Shi, Jiang Sheng, Xun Zhen, Ning Yan, Yu Zi, Liao Jia, Xian Yujian, Bai Su, Lu Jue, Xu Quan, Xu Jie brothers, Lu Ji, Zhao Wei, and of course Gong Xiqiu.

Old readers will probably notice that Shiitake’s writing habit is that the characters often appear first and are referred to by words such as young man, woman, old man, etc., and then the names and plots of the scenes are arranged later. This is all because there is no outline. In fact, this is easy to overturn. BUGs and logical conflicts occur, but Shiitake likes this kind of "secret fate".

Of course, there are also things that are written incorrectly.

For example, for the character Yang Gong, my original arrangement for him was to defend the city for Tang Mei and die on the eve of his reunion with Yang Ying and his daughter. Or when Duke Yang was still alive and leading the army in the war, he happened to see a skeleton in the wilderness. He was palpitated for a moment and felt pity for her. He helped bury her. Later, he arranged for a beggar who specializes in touching corpses and selling them for money to bring out Yang Ying's token. Only then did Duke Yang know that he had met his daughter. .

_(:з　∠)_

The result is written that the plot of defending the city was assigned to someone else and he was forgotten. He survived the death point and is still alive and kicking. I can't force him to give out lunch boxes, right? Either make up for it later, or take the bento back...

Alas, it is really difficult to write a novel # Hold your chin

Having talked about novels, let’s talk about the income from novels.

Thank you everyone, Shiitake Mushrooms can barely make ends meet. After the master’s contract expires, he should be able to renew the contract if nothing unexpected happens (after all, LV5 will be dropped as soon as the contract expires, which gives people a feeling of not wanting to make progress_(:з "∠)_).

As for the results...

Shiitake topped the monthly votes list for the first time in 2022. In fact, this honor should have been obtained long ago, but due to some well-known reasons, everyone understands. Thank you all for being asked for monthly votes 365 days a year and for being willing to support Shiitake Mushrooms.

A new year, a new starting point, new wishes.

I hope there will be more readers, more alliance leaders, more subscriptions (for example, I can get the Wanding badge in one fell swoop, I’m so greedy), I can get the five-star badge (posting posts with "The Empress" in the five-star hall), or...

Emmm, start a new book.

(Twisting wildly) I’m so hungry for the ideas I had before!

Beep quietly——

The circle of empresses is so small, how about another book?

at last--

The road ahead is long, and you and I are walking together.

It is immune to all poisons and has no taboos.

Happy New Yearヽ(°▽°)ノ

Do you want to curse when you see this? It would be nice if the word count of this length were updated normally?

Hey (*^▽^*)

I want to tell you something about digging into my heart, but I accidentally dug too much...
