A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

"You're here?"

Song Lingjun's arrival suddenly struck Tang Yin as a coincidence.

Yesterday was the same. I had just finished reviewing Xia Yan's novel manuscript, and Song Lingyun came to submit it later.

Just after seeing off Xia Yan today, Song Lingjun came again less than half a minute later.

The two of them are still students of No. 3 Middle School and don’t know each other yet.

After expelling these useless thoughts from her mind, Tang Yin started a new round of work.

On-site review like this is the daily work of the editors of Red Maple Literature. Everyone basically takes turns to be on duty. However, in most cases, although there will be dozens of people submitting articles a day, valuable novel submissions are Most likely not even one.

Most new novel authors basically submit their manuscripts by mail. After all, not everyone lives in Nancheng and has time to visit in person.

And yesterday

However, Tang Yin received two on-site submissions for novels that she thought had great potential. One was, of course, Xia Yan's Youth Journey.

And the other one is Song Lingjun’s Starlight of Yesterday.

Although she felt that the plot of Yesterday's Starlight was inferior to that of Journey of Youth, it was actually a very interesting novel.

So for tomorrow's serialization meeting, the work Yesterday's Starlight is also one of the manuscripts that Tang Yin is preparing to submit for review.

Yesterday, Song Lingjun was asked to revise some details of the manuscript and then send it over today.

Therefore, the flow of the conversation between Tang Yin and Song Lingjun was similar to what she had said to Xia Yan before.

The novel types of Yesterday's Starlight and Journey of Youth are similar, and the journals that serialize the two novels also overlap.

The two novels are actually in competition with each other!

The only difference is that Song Lingjun is not as picky as Xia Yan. As long as the novel can pass the serialization decision at the serialization meeting, she has no objection even if it is published in a journal with a sales volume of only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, Orange Heart.

"So I would like to remind you that although the review results of the serialization meeting are still unknown, you must be mentally prepared for whether the work will pass and whether it will not pass the resolution. If it cannot pass, adjust your mentality and don't be discouraged."

"But if it can be passed, the pressure of serialization will not be small. I don't hope that due to slow creation speed or other reasons, the novel will be unscripted, interrupted, unfinished, eunuchs, etc., so you can take advantage of the opportunity now School will not start until two or three days, so try to complete the plot of the novel..." Tang Yin said in a deep voice, her beautiful face full of seriousness.

"I understand, thank you, Editor Tang, for reminding me." Song Lingjun's expression also became solemn.

After all, she is just a normal high school sophomore female student. Although she is beautiful, she has almost no social experience. Writing novels is just a hobby and ideal, and she does it secretly without telling her family.

Faced with Tang Yin's serious words, she was indeed under psychological pressure.

Broken updates, unfinished work, and lack of inspiration

Song Lingjun doesn't know whether these situations will happen after she really becomes a serialized light novel writer.

Because it really only took her half a month to conceive the plot of the novel Yesterday's Starry Sky to the fourth chapter, and then she wrote it and mustered up the courage to submit it, but she actually had in mind whether the plot content of the subsequent novels would have the above-mentioned problems when writing it. There is no bottom either.

"Don't call me Editor Tang, and don't call me Sister Tang. Just call me Tang Yin. I'm a few years older than you, so don't call me old." Tang Yin frowned and quickly corrected her.

you?

Song Lingjun paused and asked, "You"? Who else can use this plural title besides me?

In her mind, she thought of the boy who she passed by before and who was suspected to be an alumnus of the same school.

I remember yesterday when I saw the author's signature on the first page of his submission, his name was Xia Yan.

School starts in two days. If they are really students from the same school, please pay attention after school starts.

After all, she secretly wrote and submitted romance novels without telling her family. As a top student in the eyes of her parents, Song Lingjun grew up as a dignified young lady in the eyes of her relatives and friends. My heart is actually very complicated.

She doesn't dare to expose the things she likes, but when she discovers someone at the same school who does the same thing as her, it's inevitable that she feels like she's found a similar person.

When Xia Yan returned home, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been busy with this matter for several days, and now he finally had a good start.

However, Tang Yin's words today also reminded Xia Yan that the three chapters of the novel he submitted were completely insufficient. The next plot content was the key.

Xia Yan didn't waste any time. He put down his backpack and went into the room to write.

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

It’s February 5th

The day of the serialization meeting of Red Maple Literature.

Early in the morning, Tang Yin came to the company early with the novel manuscript she wanted to submit.

Inside the company, the atmosphere was actually tense today.

Competition is actually everywhere. On weekdays, everyone in the editorial department is friendly and friendly, but at the serialization meeting, it's all about quarrels and conflicts, and everyone shows off their talents. No matter which editor he is, he definitely hopes that the submissions he receives will be good. It was successfully serialized in the company's periodicals.

At nine o'clock in the morning, all the editors in the editorial department entered the company's largest conference room and sat around the round table in a serious atmosphere.

Generally speaking, most of the novels produced by Red Maple Literature are in the youth love genre. Of course, in fact, all types of novels are included. However, among the five major light novel bookstores in Nancheng, Hong Maple Literature has a clear reputation advantage in serial works on youth love themes. .

Every day and every week, a huge number of novel manuscripts are submitted to Red Maple Literature. The editors who receive the submissions only select a few novels that they like and submit them to the serialization conference. After all, everyone has limited time, so they can only Pick the best from the best.

As for whether the final work can be serialized, the decision is jointly discussed by all the editors and editor-in-chief present. Of course, the decision-making power lies with the editor-in-chief of the editorial department. Other editors can only express their own opinions. How to decide depends entirely on the editor-in-chief.

At 9:10, Han Yun, the editor-in-chief of Red Maple Literature, sat down. She is in her forties, elegant and thin, but her shrewdness can be detected from the gaze reflected under her glasses.

Because Red Maple Literature has a lot of submissions for works about girls' love, and the company's editorial team is basically made up of about 60-70% women, the serialization meeting started.

Beside the desk of every editor participating in the meeting, there are piles of manuscripts that have been sorted out and copied.

Almost. There are more than thirty selected novels waiting for review.

"First of all, the first novel. "That Midsummer" is a new work by Mr. Chu Xi, a senior light novel writer who has had a four-year cooperative relationship with our book club. This novel has a delicate plot and novel character settings. Compared with her previous works, There has been a certain breakthrough.”

The editor who submitted this manuscript began to give a brief introduction to the novel to the colleagues present. During this process, the entire conference room was filled with the sound of turning paper.

After two minutes, everyone started talking as if they were in a vegetable market.

"I don't think the first chapter is too attractive. Nowadays, the market response to such a weak female protagonist is average."

"But there are no absolutes in the world, and newcomers may not be able to write this kind of heroine well, but according to Teacher Chu Xi, everyone knows her strength. The previous work "Her in the Clouds!" "It has been serialized in "Red Maple" for three months and has received high praise."

"But the first chapter of this novel is obviously not as good as "Her in the Clouds!" "The first chapter was interesting, so there was no way to connect the two."

Tang Yin stood aside and did not interrupt. The editors who were arguing at these meetings were all focused on this serialization meeting. They were working hard on the only serialization seat in "Red Maple", the company's front-end journal, in the near future. And these, and her It doesn't matter, she didn't submit any novels suitable for serialization in "Red Maple" at this serialization meeting.

She thinks the quality of the novel Journey of Youth is adequate, but the fact that Xia Yan is a new writer is a big problem. Editor-in-chief Han Yun will not take the risk and agree to have Journey of Youth serialized in "Red Maple".

After arguing for a minute, editor-in-chief Han Yun spoke.

"To be determined!"
