The time you wait is always the hardest.

Despite Su Xi's comfort and enlightenment, Cui Geng was still a little nervous.

He has not tried writing online articles before, but... he just wrote about himself and was entertaining himself. He had never thought about submitting his articles and had formally contacted the mysterious online article circle.

even--

In his plan for the future, he has never listed such things. It is precisely because of the arrival of Su Xi, a good neighbor, and because of the friendly relationship between the two parties that Cui Geng had the idea of ​​writing online articles and becoming a contracted writer.

Then, after a long study and a full month of deletion and modification, a beginning that finally came out that satisfies Su Xi. According to her, the beginning of this article is 30% level of "Western Wind".

Cui Geng was not very confident and felt that the other party might have deliberately exaggerated and comforted him.

Of course, it doesn't make sense to think about this now.

The manuscript has been submitted, and it has been submitted to a big boss at the editor-in-chief level. Whether he can pass the manuscript... can only depend on luck.

Cui Geng was a little irritated. After thinking for a long time, he decided to study calculus by himself.

Well... I'm idle too.

...

Time flies very quickly.

9:40 pm.

Braised chicken, rice, freshly squeezed orange juice.

This is a late-night snack specially prepared by Cui Geng for the two of them, and it has not yet been released.

He called the neighbor opposite and the phone quickly answered: "Sister, are you going to come here for dinner now? Is your favorite braised chicken?"

“Here’s coming.”

Su Xi finished the call with Cui Geng, and then returned to the call with Zhang Ning: "Editor, my neighbor is asking me for dinner, braised chicken, can we chat with you another day?"

Braised chicken!

Thinking of Cui Geng's cooking skills that always brings surprises to her, Su Xi felt her stomach roaring.

"Wait a minute, neighbor?"

Zhang Ning quickly grasped the point: "Why do you want to have a meal at your neighbor's house?"

"There's no way."

Su Xi sighed helplessly: "You know my schedule, right? My schedule is quite inconvenient at home, so I decided to live there. Then I can't cook. Eating takeaway every day is not good for health, so I can only go to my neighbor's house for dinner."

"this……"

Zhang Ning was a little confused for a moment and had not figured out the logic here.

What does it mean that you can’t cook? You can only go to your neighbor’s house to have dinner?

Are the neighbors so hospitality?

"I won't tell you for now. I'm so hungry. Let's talk back and forth, my dear."

Su Xi was so cute that she ended the call and walked towards the neighbor's house opposite with brisk steps.

...

“I like braised chicken very much.”

Su Xi couldn't wait to start moving, so she picked up a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth: "Hiss! So spicy!"

She quickly sniffed the rice, squinted her eyes, and enjoyed the feeling of eating this chicken and rice together.

"Eat more if you like."

Cui Geng smiled, and then he started to eat slowly.

He ate less because he slept early at night, and eating too much was not easy to digest, but Su Xi was different. For a professional writer like her, who is a night owl attribute, this is equivalent to lunch. You must be full before you can work from 10 pm to 6 or 7 pm.

Therefore, when Cui Geng is making midnight snacks, he usually considers Su Xi’s work and rest issues.

During this period, Su Xi Energy has achieved a "double" daily update volume, which may be inseparable from the excellent food recently.

"Sister, were you nervous when you first submitted a post?"

Cui Geng asked.

He was quite curious about this question and wanted to know what his mentality was when he first entered the industry.

"I didn't contribute my first article."

Su Xi shook her head: "I just entered the online literature circle at that time, and I didn't take me with my seniors. I don't know what it means to contribute. I just saw a writer's section when I was reading a novel, and then I clicked in to create a new book..."

"Then what?"

Cui Geng continued to ask.

"And then? Then the book was accidentally hit. The results were OK, so I was invited by the editor to join the high-quality author group."

Su Xi recalled carefully and said, "It was after I added that author group and saw what they said about submissions every day, that I realized that I could still contribute to the editor..."

Excellent author group?

Cui Geng was stunned and felt that his cheap sister was really amazing.

As far as he knows, the so-called "boutique" should refer to the title after the order exceeds 3,000 and get the "boutique badge".

The first book can write quality and achievements of high-quality works, and it is definitely a very small number of top geniuses.

There are often sayings in the online literature industry that "a book of the gods" are created, but this is just to deceive laymen, and even old readers like Cui Geng can't deceive them.

The so-called book of God is just a book that can be used to change to another vest.

As long as you keep changing your vests, you will always be a ‘new author’.

Or, it is to recruit some big shots from outside stations who are inconvenient to reveal their pen names and then achieve very good results with the support of the new platform's agreed resources. If the pseudonym does not have any works, this can also be regarded as "a book of gods".

The effect of this publicity stunt is also excellent. There are a lot of leeks every year... Bah, a large number of newcomers squeeze into the online literature circle, holding a book to become a god, and becoming a great author's dream and enthusiasm.

Ahem, I went off the wrong way.

"Sister, is there any difference between submitting articles to the editor's email and sending books directly to the website platform?"

Cui Geng asked.

He has always done it according to the method arranged by the other party. He has finished submitting the manuscript before he realized this. He is really ashamed.

"There are still differences, but not as big as many authors imagine."

Su Xi thought for a while and said, "Take 'Qihang' as an example. Qihang adopts the platform cross-review model. The author directly distributes the book in the background. After a certain number of words, two or more editors will review the manuscript. As long as one editor agrees, he can get the contract qualification...

If you submit an email, only one editor will see it. For such submissions, the editor will generally be more strict. Therefore, many authors will say that submit an email to an old author, and it is best for newcomers to honestly post a book on the website..."

"That's how it is."

Cui Geng nodded thoughtfully and asked again: "Since the two submission methods are different, will there be a difference if you arrange exposure resources after the manuscript?"

“There is no difference in theory.”

Su Xi explained: "According to the customary statement, there will be a saying that after signing a new book, it is also called "testing and pushing". The editor will decide who to advance based on the data on the test and pushing of these new books...

It is very fair in theory, but you have to know that the difficulty of submitting an email address is higher than that of the platform review, so the quality of new books written by the former will be higher than that of the latter. As long as you don’t get too bad in the later stage, you can often get better results in the recommendation position.”

"Understood."

Cui Geng nodded slightly.

He can roughly understand that if he contributed his manuscript to Zhang Ning, if he could pass the manuscript, it means that the quality of his fan-writing opening is higher than that of many new books of the same period, and it will obviously be more beneficial when competing for resources.

"I know you should be very nervous now."

Su Xi looked at him, and the two looked at each other, as if she could read the nervousness and helplessness from each other's eyes.

"I don't."

Cui Geng shook his head.

When he first threw it out, he was indeed a little nervous, but later he diverted his attention through learning, cooking, etc., and now he was very calm.

"I said there is."

Su Xi said in an unquestionable tone.

Cui Geng:???

OK, whatever you say is what you say.

"My first submission... was when I wrote the second book, and I was quite nervous, but I think it was a very wonderful experience, which shows that you attach great importance to this book, which is a good thing."

Su Xi was trying every means to use her relatively superficial "empathy" ability to enlighten the other party. Her serious and serious and patient attitude made her feel like a psychiatrist.

"After dinner, we can go out for a relaxation and stroll around the night market in Jiangcheng. This will relieve our nervousness. After we get home, we will have a good rest for a night. When we wake up tomorrow morning, we may see Zhang Ning's reply."

Su Xi looked into his eyes and said seriously.
Chapter completed!
