As a professional network writer, the grand literature recently published some survey data on the blue book of 2010 China's Internet literature. The company operates a website such as starting point Chinese net and Jin Jiangwen Learning City, which occupies more than 90% of the market share of the original Chinese literature.

These websites, like Xinhua Bookstore, are uploaded by the registered network writers. Some of the contents can be read freely by the readers.

At present, the number of full-time domestic writers, including Chongqing, is over 100 million, with an annual income of tens of thousands of yuan. Quite a few full-time writers earn 100 thousand yuan a year, or even 1 million yuan per year.

The "flickering" of engineering is thirty years old. After graduating from University, he went to work in a foreign trade company in Zhejiang. His poor income and harsh demands of his boss made him unhappy.

6 years ago, when he first saw the Internet novel "the first intimate contact" of CAI Zi Cai, he was interested in writing, and he moved the idea of writing online.

"When people first received the $1400 contribution from the website, they laughed, because it was equivalent to two months' living expenses at that time."

Nowadays, "flicker" is the signing author of the Chinese net. "For a professional writer like us, it is a basic requirement to write 1 million words per day.

I write 5 or 6 hours a day, then I send the content to the Internet, and I can bring my children for the rest of the time.

"The first contact with internet literature is just after coming to the United States. At that time, the curriculum was relaxed, and often read novels in Jinjiang literary City, Tencent and other websites.

About two years ago, when I saw that I was not satisfied with it, I tried to write it myself.

At the beginning, I didn't plan to write novels, but after reading other novels, I didn't like the character of the characters. I took it for granted that I played the original spirit. I wrote only a few thousand words for the first time, and spent about two or three hours. At that time, the response was not enthusiastic. The only readers were friends. She liked this story very much and encouraged me to write it all the time.
