Writing a novel was an interesting thing, but signing a contract was not easy. A 20,000-word novel was already a very long story. If it did not meet the criteria for signing a contract, then it might need to readjust the direction and pace of the writing. The quality and value of the novel had to be evaluated before deciding whether to sign the contract or not. If the story was interesting, the plot was compact, and the characters were deeply portrayed, then the possibility of signing a contract was higher. If you feel that you can't continue writing, you can consider taking a break to relax and then come back to continue writing. Writing required inspiration and patience. Sometimes inspiration came suddenly, and sometimes it required constant trial and error. The most important thing was not to give up writing. Writing was a skill that required constant practice and improvement. As long as he persevered, he believed that he would definitely be able to write better works.
