End & Begin——Something I Want to Say
It has taken exactly two years to write this book from the beginning to now.
I finished it today, I feel very complicated, and the words behind it are quite confusing, I hope Haihan will.
I remember when I first started working on Dian Niang, I gritted my teeth and persisted until 500,000 words failed to sign the contract. I was almost desperate at that time, because there were a few readers chasing me, and I was unwilling to give up. I had no eunuchs and didn’t rush the ending. Later, I tried to submit. For other platforms, fortunately, Big Numbers persisted and did not let my first story die.
There is no outline for this book, and I never thought it would be so long. I thought about the beginning, ending, and general structure before I started writing. It turned out that it was exciting at the beginning, but became more and more painful as it went on.
It's not a problem with the writing, but rather a fear of forgetting. People who are most afraid of death will dig a hole and forget to fill it. By the end of the book, almost every chapter is written by flipping over the front. Not having an outline is very freeing, but having too many words really makes me suffer. I have to take the right path for my next book, and if I want to be a sure bet, I have to have an outline (laughs).
There are a few issues to explain here.
First of all, I didn’t plan to write about Thirty-Six Heavens here from the beginning. I have a big heart. As soon as I started climbing, I had to think about how to run later. Some things were prepared for the future, so I left a place for myself. I also want to leave you with a thought. Although I will be scolded, what I want is not just one book and one world. I want to string together the things I wrote into a whole. Moreover, the Thirty-Sixth Heaven is so big that no big problem can be solved by just one or two people. I like personal heroism but don’t believe in personal heroism. I split my ideas into pieces to create a few more memorable characters. , build a world together.
It’s not even just the Thirty-six Heavens. I buried a lot of things in the last few chapters. I have some ideas in my mind but haven’t figured out how to use them yet. Let me go back and think about it, and I’ll see you in the future.
I regretted writing about the division of realms, and I regretted it right after I finished writing it. I have always believed that everything has weaknesses. It is not a fantasy to shake a tree like a duckfly, and absolute level suppression is unreasonable. However, I didn’t think about how to describe the level gap at the time, and I still don’t think about it now. I still have to think hard about how to blur this concept. It is okay for one person to fight a group, but it must be reasonable and it must not make it feel like an online game.
Speaking of reasonable, I have been struggling with these two words in this book. It's great to pretend to be a pig and get slapped in the face in one go, but I prefer to write about people's hearts. A person's thoughts and choices must be traceable. An enemy without cause and effect is not a good enemy, and a supporting character with a blank background is not a good supporting character. I try not to let this situation appear in the book, and write unreasonable things. It’s just a hole, a sinkhole that cannot be filled.
I remember that when I was writing about Fang Junnan, some people scolded me, saying that I had to make up the word count. Later, when I was writing about Li Sinian’s life experience, some people also scolded me, and said that I was trying to make up for the word count. There are many more. A book friend in the group jokingly called me a nonsense writer. I admit that in some places I lack experience and knowledge, and my writing style is relatively lengthy, but I do not admit that I am trying to make up the word count.
What I want to describe is a world, a story, not just how a person is. I dare not say epic, but I want readers to be impressed by my imaginary world, not just a person, a face, or a name.
Even my protagonist is written like a supporting character, so book friends who follow me to the end should be able to understand.
I'm a newbie on the street, and I don't dare to write like Uncle Martin. I can't survive with the current market situation, but I don't mind giving it a try if I have the opportunity in the future.
Some people say that my updates are slow, but I can't help it. Two chapters a day, 6,000+, I have been stable for two years without stopping updates. I am very proud of it, and I will work hard to persevere in the future. I would rather stay stable than lose my temper. Jingyuan.
As I get older, my waist can’t bear it.
There was one update before, and it was updated ten thousand times in half a month. But after the update, it was useless. I was out of shape for several days, and it took a long time to adjust. The hierarchy seems to have been written at that time, and I always regret it. So let’s leave these things to young people, I’ll just keep it up (laughs)
Speaking of which, I'm quite surprised. I remember that when I was in college, 2,000-3,000 a day was the standard. Later, I mentioned 6,000 in two chapters. Now, somehow, ten thousand is the standard. Even if ten thousand is not enough, I'll take you as the standard. printing press. Let me go. As a lazy person who hasn’t saved any manuscripts, I can only say that I can’t do it. There are too many monsters. It’s better for me to just be a mortal.
Let’s talk about the next book.
The next book won’t be about Xianxia. This one took two years to write and it’s disgusting. I need to change my mind. I never do anything like striking while the iron is hot. I write for pleasure. I write whatever I want, so I am going to risk my life and write an unpopular science fiction. It is not the apocalypse or something hard, nor is it a hard subject like The Three-Body Problem. It is somewhere in the middle. , the kind that is neither soft nor hard.
I have been preparing materials in this area recently and re-opened the mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks. I found that the teacher was really right. I couldn't understand it then, but I can't understand it now -_-0
However, you still have to prepare. If you can’t write well, you can’t be embarrassed by it. I hope the editor can approve the manuscript, and I also hope that all readers can continue to support me. Thank you very much!
Finally, of course, thank you.
First of all, I would like to thank my first editor Jiutian. It was you who fished me out from the vast sea of books. People who don’t write books will not know the significance of a contract to a new person. It’s not about money, it’s about affirmation. Thank you very much. ! The only problem is that if you ask me to change the title of the book, I won’t sign the contract if I don’t change it. To be honest, my mood is still as complicated as grinding my teeth.
Secondly, I would like to thank my last two editors, Future and Box. Future's patience helped me a lot, and Box Beauty is even more so. I have only heard of her for a long time but never had the chance to see her. I hope I will have a chance in the future.
And the first reader who subscribed, the first reader who gave me a reward, and the guy who followed me from Dianniang. I have nothing to repay you, so I can only write well, hoping to tell better stories to make you laugh.
And my parents. It is hard to find such open-minded parents, although you always say that I am like a storyteller...
Then my ex-girlfriend. I am very grateful for your support during the dark years when I just started writing. Whether you can see it or not, I want to thank you here. In addition, I want to tell you that the red envelopes you gave to Dianniang really cannot be taken back...
Finally, I want to thank all the book friends. Whether you like me or scold me, I am very grateful to you. Books and readers are a matter of fate. It's hard to please everyone. I'm not a great writer. I'm very happy if you can read my stories. I take support as encouragement and dislike as motivation. I've read all the comments carefully. I haven't deleted any good or bad ones. I've tried my best to learn from experience and lessons, and correct and improve my writing style. It's a pity that there are still too few people leaving messages. There's no such trend in big numbers. I hope there will be more messages in the future. I don't care about meat or vegetables.
In addition, I also want to say thank you to friends who read the stolen posts. As I said before, reading books is a matter of fate. I'm very happy if you like my stories. I don't care whether you come to the main site to support me or not. If the next book can pass the guarantee, I won't care even more. I just hope that friends who read the stolen posts can also come to the main site to register an account and give opinions. I don't need you to subscribe. What I want is communication. How can you make progress if you work behind closed doors?
Finally, I'll open a separate column to thank the nine warriors in the book club.
I won't mention the names, just like before, to avoid trouble.
Maybe it's because I'm not famous, or maybe no one uses QQ these days. Only nine people joined the group after two years. I wanted to change the name of the nine of you to Taixu Jiufeng, but the end of the Jiufeng masters was not very good, dead, fled, escaped, injured, so I just forget it.
By the way, Wang xx, if you can really do what you said in the future, don't worry, the first book will definitely be yours (laugh)
I'm a bit long-winded, and I've said a lot to get to this point, which proves that your patience is good. I hereby praise you (laugh).
The new book should be released within two months. I have to take a good rest before that. I have not been out more than 20 times in two years, and no more than 4 parties. I haven't had a good time in the past two years. People drink, set firecrackers, write, and revise manuscripts. I'm a little depressed and need to adjust my state.
If the manuscript is passed, the next book will be science fiction. If it is not passed, the next book will be discussed. No matter what it is, I will do my best to write it well. I hope you will continue to support me. Thank you very much! ! !
Finally, I wish you all a happy family and everything goes well!
There is a way to be fat
