After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

Give up non-fiction?

Lin Xingran cautiously guessed, "So you plan to rewrite the novel?"

"Smart! Just one click!"

Jiang Baige nodded excitedly, not at all like someone who was about to undergo surgery.

Lin Xingran's expression said "No, I can't guess."

Jiang Baige's interest was not dampened at all: "You see, since I am not dead, this book has no gimmick at all, and I guess no publishing house would want to publish it."

Lin Xingran thought of this.

At that time, after Jiang Baige posted an announcement on her official account that she was going to write a non-fiction book, some editors contacted her and expressed their interest in the book.

When most people learned that this book discussed death, they backed off. It was not because they were taboo about death, but because they did not see the selling point of this topic.

If a book has no selling point, even if the editor submits the topic, it is likely to not be approved at the topic selection meeting.

Jiang Baige is a novelist. Even if he writes non-fiction, the title of "best-selling online writer" can still be used, and people will pay for it.

There are generally two types of non-fictional objects.

One is to interview others, and the other is to analyze yourself.

The point that interests the editors is obviously the latter.

For example, in "A best-selling online writer writes about how she faced her own death", there are several marketing points.

But when Jiang Baige met with these editors, she did not tell them that this non-fiction work was based on her own mental journey in facing death.

Then the editors would assume that Jiang Baige wanted to write about the death of other people - investigating, interviewing, and tracking a certain type of people in society, and then drawing a certain conclusion.

The problem lies in Jiang Baige's identity: she is not a sociologist, nor a journalist, but just a novelist.

Is her research method scientific enough? Is the interview sample representative?

What does she want to discuss about death?

Will the conclusion drawn from her be recognized?

More importantly, will readers pay for it?

However, even if there are no answers to the above questions, several editors have expressed their willingness to wait for her manuscript.

Obviously, this is a sure win business.

There was no contract signed in advance, so if what Jiang Baige wrote did not meet their expectations, they would just reject the manuscript and there would be no loss.

Jiang Baige doesn't care.

It’s not because she’s dying and no longer loves money - on the contrary, she wants to “make” more money for her fund.

It's just because she knew that once the editors saw the manuscript and found out that she wrote about the whole process of facing her death, they would definitely want to publish the book.

With so many competitors, isn't it her who has the final say on royalties and print volumes?

However, this plan has completely failed so far.

She has been thinking about this problem this week: she has put so much effort into writing the book, hundreds of thousands of words, and she can't bear to give it up now.

But it is obviously unrealistic to continue writing. Even if I finish it, who will publish it?

She used four-fifths of the article to write about her feelings about death, but in the end she found out that it was all a false alarm.

If it is put in a novel, there is no problem as long as the logic can be made out; but if it is put in non-fiction, isn't it just a joke - the true feelings in the beginning become just a joke in the end.

Absolutely not.

But this idea inspired Jiang Baige: Yes, if non-fiction doesn’t work, then just change it into fiction.

Anyway, writing novels is her specialty.

Not counting the unpublished novels she wrote secretly for her own entertainment in notebooks, on draft paper, and on the home computer since she was a child, she has been writing novels for nearly twenty years in her two lifetimes, starting from college.

For her, it was as easy as breathing.

"So you plan to change this novel into an online article?" Lin Xingran interrupted Jiang Baige when she paused, "How do you want to change it?"

"Online writing can be very imaginative, so I want to write 'Rebirth'."

"Rebirth?"

Lin Xingran has been a web editor for more than two years, so he is certainly familiar with this subject. It can even be said that "rebirth" is considered a "traditional" setting in online literature.

Jiang Baige originally wrote about death, but it can be connected to rebirth.

"But how do you want to write it?"

Jiang Baige thought to herself, I just write my own story, what's so difficult about that?

"Since it's about death, let's write a story about the heroine dying, being reborn, and then deciding to live a good life again."

"It sounds logical, but isn't it a bit bland?"

In short: it’s hard to stand out.

Jiang Baige didn't say how she was going to write it, but shook her phone and said, "I'll give you the outline and the beginning later. You can see for yourself after you take a look."

Lin Xingran was shocked: "Didn't you bring your computer? How did you have the time..."

"Who says you can only write on a computer? Besides, I just didn't bring my computer with me when I was in the hospital. It doesn't mean I didn't have the opportunity to write before."

That little expression, can’t tell you how proud he was.

"But, as you know, my mother has been very strict with me recently, so I wrote it secretly... I haven't finished it yet..."

Jiang Baige glanced at her cell phone - the surgery was scheduled for three days later.

"There are still three days before the surgery, so I should be able to pack it for you in time..." At this time, Jiang Baige took out a small cloth bag with a drawstring from the large backpack she carried with her, like a magician.

The cloth bag was not much bigger than a palm.

Jiang Baige pulled the drawstring and took out a metal cube: "Look, I also brought this."

"Folding keyboard?"

While Lin Xingran was speaking, Jiang Baige had already opened the keyboard. It was three times longer than when folded and looked similar to an ordinary Bluetooth keyboard.

"Is this what you use to type on your phone?"

Jiang Baige nodded: "Although the feel is a little worse than that of a mechanical keyboard, and my hand speed is not as fast, it is still much more comfortable than using a mobile phone directly."

Lin Xingran gave Jiang Baige a thumbs up, but his tone was a bit complicated - there was helplessness, admiration, heartache and worry.

"You really... I'm convinced. Others are terrified to have surgery, but you are so busy thinking about writing..."

"What do I have to be afraid of..."

Jiang Baige muttered softly.

The system said that she can live to at least sixty years old!

But Lin Xingran didn't know this "inside story" and was still worried about her: "No wonder Aunt Bai wanted to confiscate your laptop. You're still writing like crazy even after your laptop was confiscated. If she hadn't confiscated it, you would have turned the hospital into your studio!"

Jiang Baige looked up at the sky and didn't dare to answer.

Originally, only Lin Xingran knew that she was secretly writing the manuscript.

Unexpectedly, that night, when she was sitting on the bed writing, she was caught by Bai Yunqing.

"...You desperate woman, even if I give you another 30 years of life, it still won't be enough for you!"

This reminded Jiang Baige: She seemed to have forgotten to ask the "system" what should she do after she turned sixty?
