Crayon Shin-chan: As someone who's traveled through time, all I want is a huge reward!

Then make money and pay off debts.

"Becoming a well-known writer would save a lot of trouble in building goodwill, and it would be great if I had a die-hard fan."

"If I submit my work now, I might be able to win the Fujimi Newcomer Award."

Lin Yu paused, his chopsticks still in his hand, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

While in the commercial district, Lin Yu took the opportunity to flip through some magazines from that era.

I've learned about the market situation and related matters concerning newcomer awards.

Despite the impact of the bubble economy, the subject matter of light novel creation was not significantly affected.

Various themes still exist, and Lin Yu has seen BL (Boys' Love) themes today.

For Lin Yu, the Newcomer Award is a very good opportunity.

Newcomer awards are generally divided into Grand Prize, Gold Prize, Silver Prize, and Merit Prize.

There are also some awards without prize money that are not listed.

The prize money is 1 million yen for the Grand Prize, 500,000 yen for the Gold Prize, 300,000 yen for the Silver Prize, and 100,000 yen for the Honorable Mention.

If Lin Yu's submission is successfully selected, or even wins the grand prize...

The income of one million yuan will definitely greatly alleviate his current pressure.

This can also lay the groundwork for future career development.

After all, in Lin Yu's mind, the most suitable existence for this era was definitely "Neon Genesis Evangelion".

Although the original work is not a novel, it is not impossible to adapt it into a novel based on impressions by carefully crafting it and spending time doing so.

Lin Yu clearly remembers that this masterpiece from back then achieved great success precisely because it perfectly matched the background of the bubble economy.

However, such works have complex settings, and the entire world view needs to be carefully laid out before it can be developed.

Submissions with limited space may not be able to fully showcase their potential and will be rejected by the editors immediately.

To truly replicate such a masterpiece, one needs a certain level of fame and an audience.

Make sure the publisher respects your wishes.

Therefore, it's definitely impossible to spend a lot of time selecting this work for this submission.

Other longer works are not quite suitable either.

It's best to start by choosing a short story to test the waters.

Lin Yu set his sights on the short stories on his schedule.

After careful consideration, I finally settled on "Planetarian".

Fujimi Bunko primarily targets fantasy light novels.

The criteria for the Newcomer Award are even more straightforward.

[The focus is on the fantasy elements and imagination of the work, requiring a novel and unique story setting that can construct a convincing and captivating fantasy world, while also featuring vivid characters and a gripping plot.]

Compared to the above requirements.

Neither "Your Lie in April" nor "Eat Your Pancreas" satisfies the requirement of fantasy elements.

But Planetarium is a perfect fit.

World War, Future World, Robot Girls...

These elements combined are enough to create an engaging and acceptable story.

"We've decided on 'Planetarian'."

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Yu made a decisive decision.

After quickly finishing his meal, he took the plate to the kitchen to wash up, then returned to the table, took out a letter and a pen, and began to seriously recall his memories.

"Star Dream" is not a long work. As a short story, it consists of only one volume, seventeen chapters, and a total of 70,000 words.

Lin Yu was deeply impressed by this work, as there are very few works that can move a tough guy like him to tears.

Not only did they watch the anime and read the novels, but they also played the games.

Now all he needs to do is write out the general framework of the story first, and then fill in the details little by little.

Just fill it in gradually, and finally refine the details, polish it, and check for typos.

"It's really awkward. I haven't written so many words since I was in school, especially in Japanese."

Lin Yu held the pen, muttering to himself, and buried his head under the small desk lamp, beginning to write his first work in the world.

Chapter 11 The Kindergarten Teacher's First Day at Work

The room was quiet, except for the soft scratching sound of Lin Yu's pen rubbing against the paper.

Lin Yu was writing intently at his desk.

The Fujimi Fantasia Bunko Newcomer Award requires a complete text of approximately 8 to 12 words, along with three other items.

One is the outline of the novel, which should clearly list the main storyline and the main plot development.

The second is to write an attractive introduction that highlights the work's unique features and selling points.

Finally, you should also prepare an author biography, briefly introducing your creative experience and writing style.

Including the content of "Star Dream" itself, the total is about 80,000 words.

If you're typing on a computer, a mere 80,000 words can be typed out in about a week.

But if it's handwritten, then that's a bit more complicated.

He can easily type over 10,000 words a day on a computer, but if he were to write over 10,000 words by hand, he'd probably be exhausted.

Moreover, he had to constantly recall the events while writing.

The whole process will definitely not be that fast; being able to write two or three thousand words with good quality is already a blessing.

Even so, it will probably take him a lot of time every day.

At this rate, it will take about a month to complete everything.

Lin Yu calculated the time.

If nothing unexpected happens, there should still be enough time.

On weekends, I also have more time to write articles.

If you calculate it all out, it probably won't take another month.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu moved his wrists, shook his hands, and silently recited a mantra.

'come on! '

Then he continued to sit at his desk and write furiously.

Today's income: 3000 yen.

Today’s expenditure: 3665 yen.

Liabilities: 3632 million yen.

Balance: 20639 yen.

. . . . . .

seven in the morning.

The alarm clock woke Lin Yu up with its loud noise right next to his ear.

Rolling himself up from the floor, wrapped in the blanket, and turning off the alarm clock, Lin Yu groggily headed towards the bathroom.

Even without a cell phone, having an alarm clock is something to be thankful for.

Lin Yu didn't want to be late on his first day of work.

I was writing at home last night, and before I knew it, it was 1 a.m.

Lin Yu spent the entire night writing only about a thousand words, mainly the outline and introduction.

It's like sharpening your axe before chopping wood; having a detailed outline greatly improves his writing speed.

After finishing writing and setting his alarm, he went straight to sleep.

That's one of the good things about Japan; you can roll up a blanket, lay out a mattress, and sleep anywhere.

After taking a shower, Lin Yu felt refreshed and invigorated when he came out of the bathroom.

I rummaged through the closet and found a set of sportswear to change into.

Lin Yu took a loaf of bread he had bought yesterday and, while he still had some time, ate it while reviewing the manuscript he had written the day before.

Firstly, it was to check for any typos. After all, although I have the original owner's memories, I'm still a bit rusty when it comes to writing. I'll check it a couple of times to make sure there are no mistakes.

Secondly, reading your own writing from the reader's perspective is a different experience than when you were writing it, and you can see more in the text.

I finished eating the bread.

Lin Yu put down the manuscript in his hand.
