Yesterday, Anan used Coreldraw to create three new covers, so what you see now is one of them. I hope your bookshelf has been updated. If not, please delete this book! Then! Add it to the bookshelf again!! The key point

Yes, add it to the bookshelf again! Of course, during this process, everyone can also tip, vote, and comment on An An to confirm the new cover made by An An. Hehe, hehehe.

An An has never made a cover. Coreldraw on the computer is used for occasional drawings, and all she makes are... pictures for scientific research academic journals... Yes, An An is a girl studying science and engineering... I usually use b for drawings.

, mathematics, imagej and ppt. Yes, An An is studying for PhD in science and engineering. She is the legendary female doctor. To go a bit further, the original intention of writing the article is because doing scientific research is very lonely, and she spends a lot of time alone in the laboratory every day.

Sometimes, I still keep doing the same experiment over and over without success, so I need some spiritual sustenance and spiritual food, so I came up with the idea of ​​the current book "The Rise and Fall of Nations".

Returning to the cover, I spent an afternoon tinkering with three editions yesterday, and secretly felt that it was getting better and better with each passing day! So, An An decided to change the cover from time to time! (It’s equivalent to playing hide and seek with everyone in the bookshelf?

) It is estimated that every 100,000 words will be changed once, and every time it is changed, a red envelope will be sent to celebrate! Of course it is just an estimate, after all, the "main job" of a non-full-time author is code, writing stories, not making covers...

But An An has always had a problem, that is, she likes to be competitive. For example, An An is not the best at scientific research among science and engineering PhD students, but she must strive to be the best at writing novels among science and engineering PhD students. For example, An An is not a writer of online articles.

The author is the best in Chinese, but he must strive to be the best in English and German (well, An An studied German for three years during college, and then he discovered that it is still Chinese... true, kind and beautiful! Even An An married a Chinese wife

A French classmate of mine studies Chinese online every day, and occasionally randomly asks An An about some words and grammar, but he never guesses that the person he is asking is writing novels in Chinese). For another example, An An’s writing must not be

The one with the best grades, but An An's cover must be the one that changes the most often... Hehe, hehehe. If you have any cover materials or ideas about this article, you can leave a comment for An An. All comers are welcome!

If you are a more experienced reader of this story, you must have seen the cover of the old version. On the cover is a beautiful and lovely little girl in ancient style, holding a lantern and stroking a few strands of weeping willows. This is An An's continuous stability.

I even forgot how many days I applied for a cover from the editor. The cover material was naturally decided by the artists, so I just sat back and enjoyed the results. I was very satisfied with the cover when I got it, and it took about eighty or ninety days (during which of course I was constantly working on it)

More constantly, although it is actually very tiring, after all, I am not a full-time author). However, An An feels that although the old cover is beautiful, it is not the most consistent with the content of this article. After all, although this article has an absolute heroine,

She is not the whole story of this article. It is just that through her travels around the world and her growth experience, she has brought out more other wonderful characters, including three handsome young male protagonists, two old handsome bosses, and one after another.

Many interesting men and women, young and old, appeared.

The name "The Ups and Downs of the Kingdoms" is because this is an ukiyo-e, not just composed of a female protagonist and a male protagonist. It is also naughty as An'an. In fact, after reading the following, you may gradually discover that the protagonist that readers think is not necessarily the protagonist.

Boss, the boss that readers think is not necessarily the boss. The romance at the beginning is just a short story about a glimpse of the leopard. Later, elements of martial arts, intrigue, and harem will gradually be integrated, and romance is no longer limited to the relationship between men and women.

, as well as family ties and trust. It is expected to be divided into three volumes, each volume is about 300,000 words, and the male and female protagonists will be used to three volumes. Please be patient and fatten up! However, An'an's time is limited, and in order to ensure quality, I will not add more frequently.

Updates, 2,000 times a day, are An An’s limit. After all, An An has always felt that inspiration comes from life. Without a wonderful life and career, one day creations will dry up. An An doesn’t know when this article will be finished.

, so if you think An'an is too slow to update, just keep it on your bookshelf first! It's just that An'an changes the cover from time to time, so you should be careful not to lose it when you update it. To sum up, there is only one with the old cover.

Female characters are inevitably a bit overgeneralized, so An An decided to try to make a cover that suited her own taste. Readers were hard pressed to agree, so An An had no choice but to adjust to her own taste and be content.

For the production of the new cover, first of all, I would like to thank the QQ writers group of our 10th editorial team, and thank our group friend Banshan Gongzi for specially writing the four thin gold characters "The Ups and Downs of Nations" for this article.

Here is a non-scrolling advertisement for Mr. Banshan. Her "Jinyi Shizifei" is also being updated hotly. I hope everyone will come to support it, pass by, and don't miss it!] Because An An really has no resistance to beautiful calligraphy,

So I shamelessly asked Teacher Banshan for two lines of poetry in the group, which were the two lines of small words on the cover: "Song, Chen, Chu, Shu, Zhao and Weiqi, I ask you where to treat lovesickness." Song Wang Liu's poem, Banshan Master's calligraphy, An An felt,

Even if there is nothing on the cover, just these words, it is gorgeous and satisfying enough.

However, An An couldn't help but search some material pictures on the Internet, and carefully designed three new covers. All of them had no characters, only landscapes, flowers and birds, a long sword, and a peach blossom. The long sword, the meaning

Martial arts and intrigue, peach blossoms, implying the harem and romance.

After making the three covers, An An posted the sketches in the author group, asking all the authors to help An An appreciate them. Here, An An would like to express special thanks to the lingering wind "81 Days of the End of the World" and the rose blossom "I am a baby mother"

”, Lianhua’s “Moon God of Cultivation” and Banshanzi’s “Prince Concubine Jinyi” gave their valuable suggestions on the new cover!

Finally, in the process of choosing three new covers, An An once again realized a truth: hard work pays off, and an iron pestle can be ground into a needle. Since the three covers were designed and produced by An An himself, An An naturally felt that the three covers

They all look good, so I struggled with them for a long time (I guess everyone in the group got confused after hearing my struggle). But in the end I chose the one that came out last, which is the one you can see now with a white background and light blue underneath.

It’s a landscape painting. After careful selection, this one is still the best looking. It really takes effort to make progress. A day later, I looked back at these three covers. The first one looked a little childish, and the second one looked a little childish.

The layout of the second model has flaws, and although the third model may look back on it after some time and become dissatisfied, at least it was tempered after two exercises.

Making a cover is like practicing writing. An An would often re-read the words she had coded on her phone while waiting in line for a meal, sitting down to eat or before going to bed, taking screenshots of typos and other minor mistakes, and then correcting them after daily updates.

Chapters were revised, and the screenshots on the phone were deleted only after the revision. In the process of constant revision, An An also discovered that in fact, the writing style of the first 100,000 words was not very skillful, but it became more concise as he went to the back.

In fact, in order to keep updating, many of the first 200,000 words were coded on long-distance trains. Wearing noise-canceling headphones allowed me to code quietly. But long-distance trains are bumpy after all, and sometimes I already start to get motion sickness after coding 2,000 words.

Therefore, if there are any errors or omissions in the article, please be patient and wait for me to slowly go back and revise it. The technique of making a cover can be honed in one afternoon, but it requires gradual improvement over time.

Finally, I would like to thank the rare animal-like readers who have always voted for me, subscribed, reminded me of updates, and occasionally rewarded me: Ye Shangzhou's "Phoenix Crying Blood in the War of Resistance" (replying updates + spelling Shenzhou Dadai),

In the next month, I plan to release "I Am a Baby Mom" ​​(Spelling Dada, which hits the top spot in the vote), "81 Days of the Last Days" (a crosstalk actor with hilarious comments), "The Prince Concubine Jinyi" (The Princess of Jinyi) (every sentence is often presented by Zhuji)

The aesthetic comments are huge) and the wild readers who suddenly jumped out and cast a lot of votes: Voting King 01 (Hey, you haven’t appeared for several days, where have you gone?), Long Live Chang Kaigong, and Ling Lingqi (That’s it)

Do you want to write it? I seem to have misunderstood the Chinese characters).

Today, a reader (Mirror Fan) left a message to encourage An An, saying that if you survive the boring period, you will definitely succeed. Although An An doesn’t know whether this "dry period" is 200,000 words, 500,000 words, or 1 million words.

The first book or even several books with millions of words, but just like trying to make a cover, if you don’t try, you won’t know that you can also make a cover. If you don’t try, you won’t know that your cover-making skills can be applied in a short time.

You can improve in just one afternoon. If you don't try, you won't be able to make a cover that suits your taste. The same goes for writing. If you become a eunuch during the "dry period" when there are few regular readers, then An An will never be able to write.

Publishing a book that suits your own taste will never fulfill your childhood dream of becoming a novelist, and you will never be able to gain more readers and support.

Finally, about writing novels. An An has not told any relatives or friends she knows that she is secretly writing novels. So An An disappears for two hours every night while coding, and no one knows what An An is doing.

An An always says that she is busy, because An An is indeed very busy, so they should all think that An An is in the laboratory or reading literature, but in fact, An An is stealing food from the gods and living in the world of novels that she has finally squeezed out.

Among them. I used to think that it was unbelievable that a female Ph.D. student would write online articles and update 2,000 times a day. But I really tried and persisted. In fact, it is not such a terrible thing to update for more than 90 days. You only need to,

Evaporation takes about two hours every day. Evaporation is a common occurrence for An An. An An has experienced it in school laboratories, national laboratories, and company laboratories. She often faces one instrument alone for six hours.

If you don’t talk, don’t drink water, don’t eat snacks, and don’t look at your phone, what does it mean to disappear from the world for two hours?

The reason why An An did not tell any relatives and friends about writing novels was not because it was difficult to talk about writing novels. On the contrary, An An's parents were also middle-aged and elderly people in literature. They should not object to An An writing novels "without doing his job". However, in this book

Before she finished writing, An An didn't want to tell her relatives and friends, because before the story was finished, An An didn't want this pure land that belonged to her heart to be contaminated by the hustle and bustle of the real world. It's not that An An didn't want to adopt other people's opinions or comments.

, but An An wants to calm down and write slowly, write well, print it out after finishing it, and give a copy to each of her relatives and friends, haha, let them see, who said women are inferior to men?

In the past three months of writing the novel, although An An has become busier every day (after all, 2,000 daily updates is equivalent to writing two junior high and high school essays every day), An An's life has also become more rhythmic and driven.

I have more expectations. Occasionally seeing good comments from readers is more exciting than drinking a large cup of coffee. Even if you often fail in experiments and often feel depressed, at least you are happy and comfortable when writing novels. An An also often goes swimming and ice skating.

, because only when the body and mind are healthy can we write pleasant words. An'an readers, please also go out often to relax, travel, go for a run, learn new skills, and try new things. Write novels and bring them with you.

It gave An An the inner strength to read the novel, and I hope it can also bring positive energy to everyone.

Whether you live in the real world or wander in the world of novels, happiness comes from two aspects: hard work and contentment. If you don’t do the hard work you should do, you will inevitably regret. Regret is too painful. But if you try your best
Chapter completed!
