Testimonials (Part II)

As a testimonial to the end of this book, I must review the whole book, talk about the gains and losses in creation, and then I can know what should be maintained, what should be improved, well, I will talk about it in combination with my own creative methodology, of course, this is my own extraction, it does not mean that it is suitable for other people, suitable for other platforms, it is very good to have a good understanding from it, it is easy to copy it, and the truth has the difference between absolute truth and relative truth, not to mention this very private perception, those who learn from me live, and those who are like me die, right?

Personally, the first and most important keyword in my creation is "expression".

The word expression is very broad, in a narrow sense, it can be equal to the topic of the article, the central idea, in a broad sense, anything that wants to be passed on to the reader, belongs to the category of expression, we can express our own thoughts about human nature, our cognition of the world, we can also express the satisfaction obtained, and in layman's terms, I want to be very cool.

What do I hope to express in this book?

The first is a novel, interesting, pondering, complex and interesting worldview produced by fusing part of the knowledge of Western occultism with elements such as the Cthulhu Mythos and the SCP Foundation;

The second is a ray of light in the darkness and despair ("Yes, it's exactly ......" Amon was about to jump out when Xiao Ke covered his mouth, "It's down." This ray of light is both a mercy of humanity and a hymn to human courage, and the darkness and despair are both the situation of workers and peasants during the First Industrial Revolution and the old days brought about by the elements of the Cthulhu Mythos, evil gods, unknowns, unseepable, chaotic madness and hopelessness.

The third is the confrontation and integration of human nature and divinity. Why I position Xiao Ke's path as a "soothsayer" and the end point is "The Fool", on the one hand, it is the needs of its own storyline, and the path of "soothsayer" can naturally unfold many occult elements in the early stage and bring them in interestingly, on the other hand, the hidden subject of the mysterious book, uh, it is not implied, I have written it in the introduction: a legend of the fool.

In other words: a fool's journey.

And the tarot card, which is an important element of the book, has a more accepted interpretation that the whole describes the journey of a fool, starting from the fool and ending with the end of the world.

Of course, I can't copy the interpretation and imagery of the tarot cards, and I will make certain modifications in combination with the book of mysteries, so a fool's journey refers to the gradual transformation from man to god, and refers to the spiritual journey brought about by the confrontation and integration of humanity and divinity.

This point, because I hope that Xiao Ke can always have a human side and a warm side, so it is not intuitively described from his psychological activities, but more from others, from the frequency and depth of his interaction with the whole world and the surrounding human beings, which is more indirect.

Therefore, in the later period, no matter how much Xiao Ke emphasizes his humanity, everyone feels that he is getting farther and farther away from human society, more and more lonely, more and more abstract, and gradually has no sense of flesh and blood, which is the journey of a fool.

This structural design is actually a bit clever, because my inspiration comes from the previous books, well, except for martial arts, some people say that the later the protagonist goes, the more inhuman, the more detached he is from reality, and he no longer has the feeling of being rooted in the world and rooted in society, so I simply changed this change from the author's unconscious to conscious. The inspiration came about after reading some tarot books.

Now in comparison, the first point is barely reached, the second point is good, the dark part is good in the early stage, and it fades as the strength level increases in the later stage.

This is indeed a problem, and it is also a problem with the structure of the mysterious book, and it is also the fourth part of the methodology, "structure", which I will talk about later.

Returning to the theme, starting with Sequence 3, the whole book is in the occult section, and in the unknown horror section, there is actually a certain stylistic separation. As far as the Cthulhu element is concerned, once the unknown is explained, it will lose most of its charm when it really hits the stage, so the sense of chaos and madness in the later stage is well maintained, and the sense of darkness, despair, mystery and insignificance must be lacking.

Before I started the book, I was hesitant to write only Sequence 3 and use the rest as the background, so that the overall style of the mysterious world would be very unified, and the sense of mystery would be fascinating, accompanied by fear and trembling, and the mystery would be able to penetrate the whole text.

But in the end, I was still a little greedy, and I hoped that the book could outline the overall world view, and then I could calmly play under this world view.

The third point is that my personal rating is above pass, no more than 80, mainly because my heart is not ruthless enough and my performance is not intuitive enough.

After talking about "expression", the second set of keywords in my creation is "interesting, interesting".

In other words, once you have decided on what you want to express, it is time to examine whether your subject matter and possible ways of expressing it are appropriate.

It's not that some themes can't be written, excluding external factors, whether a subject can be written only depends on whether you can write interesting and interesting.

Home cooking also depends on who makes it and how to do it.

Well, human beings are essentially seeking novelty and curiosity, and of course, they also pursue refreshment and emotion, and the latter two I am dealing with in the "emotion" part, and here we only talk about novelty and strangeness.

New does not mean that it is simply rare, and strange is not purely curious, they should be closer to novelty, and there is a certain difference from others.

Interesting and interesting, in terms of the meaning of the word, the difference is still quite big, interesting refers more to fun, novelty, interesting can be attached to the meaning of "can ponder".

Interesting is not necessarily fun and funny, but it can make people immerse themselves, feel very interesting, ponder, and diverge their imagination.

Interesting is not necessarily interesting, now it is simple and relaxed, funny, there are a lot of jokes, and there is also a big market.

Of course, the two can also be combined, interesting and interesting, can make people feel interesting, willing to ponder, to study, to substitute and fantasize, then it is doubly attractive.

In addition to being interesting, if you can make the writing, character interaction, and details interesting, it can also play the finishing touch and make everyone more motivated.

Mystery book,My goal for myself is,First to be interesting,And then the pursuit of fun,Now,Twenty-two sequence pathways,220 kinds of potions,Nine essentia and the system of playing,It's really new,Strange,Interesting,It's also interesting.。

As for the behavior, interaction, details and other places, I also try not to be monotonous and boring, and most of the time I still meet the requirements.

Of course, there is room for improvement in this area.

My third creative keyword is "substitution".

Don't think it's YY when you hear the substitution, in fact, there are many kinds of substitution, indeed, many people substitute for the protagonist, but there are also people who substitute for the protagonist his father, his mother, his brother, his girlfriend, and some people substitute for the supporting role, substitute for the audience, reader role, substitute for the world view, substitute for the earth community, substitute for the sense of scientific sacredness, substitute for classical culture, etc., etc., and so on.

And if an author determines that he wants to "express" something, and he has also found an interesting and interesting entry in terms of subject matter and expression, then the next question is to think about which angle to let the main readers substitute, which will determine what kind of narrative technique, article structure and foreshadowing you use.

I have a brain hole with only three chapters on the official account before, in fact, it is the idea of considering "substitution", I hope that the main readers are substituting the knowledge of the earth, and with a lively and proud mentality, I will see an indigenous person make jokes and grow up with the help of the knowledge of the earth, and have a cool experience.

In addition to the common protagonists, this book also puts more energy on the power system, potions, playing methods, and the overall world view, so it makes extensive use of suspense decryption techniques, a little bit of hooks, little by little unfolding, so that everyone is immersed.

The fourth creative keyword is "structure".

After going through the first three steps and thinking about the synopsis of the story, it is necessary to conceive the overall structure based on these.

So, when I say that the mysterious ending is preconceived at the beginning, it can be seen that the before and after, the fate of reincarnation, and the end of the story are all unfolded under a large structure, which is a strange beauty for me personally.

In addition to the overall structure, there is also a separate structure of each part, the structure of the first part I have talked about before, I am very proud, I did a good job, the structure of the second and third parts is also talked about, and then I rarely mention this word, this is mainly because the further back I write, the greater the constraints, the smaller the degree of freedom, if I can't think of a good structure, a good cut, I would rather use the most common or already used story structure, nothing special to talk about.

Among them, the fourth part is a layer by layer, and finally detonates the volcanic type, the fifth part is a vortex, the more it rolls, the bigger it gets, and finally produces a great change, the sixth part seems to say, the plain type in the middle of the front and rear peaks, the seventh part is a sudden outbreak in the daily travel, and the overall structure is close to the second part, and the eighth part is to continuously push the climax, and then the afterglow ends.

In this, because some volumes are not clear enough when they are officially written, or they don't know how to achieve the desired effect, they have rhythm problems in the middle part, or they have to lose something for the rationality of the plot.

This is all experience and lessons, in the future, when you open a new volume, try to make your own setting and grasp of the structure to a very clear degree, instead of having a concept, just vaguely try, explore, to write, in this way, lucky, good state, can catch the inspiration, maybe there will be surprises, but most of the time there will be a lot of problems.

The fifth set of creative keywords is "reality, truth".

This is actually developed from the third key word "substitution", I initially felt that the most substitutional sense may be the most realistic environment, and then on this basis beyond reality, and the most realistic is undoubtedly our daily life, that is, urban themes.

Under this premise, the city is definitely the easiest subject to substitute, so, after the end of my life, I want to integrate fantasy into the city, which is not only reality, but also beyond reality, and at the same time, I also practice the ability to write daily details, so I have the book of martial arts, in fact, the early effect is not bad, but then I found that I underestimated a problem, that is, the limitations of the city itself, because this was not fully taken into account when setting, resulting in the later stage could not be expanded, the story was repeated, and there was a lack of change.

I am very pleased that this idea has been confirmed in some popular themes in recent years, but 404's eyes on urban themes have not been able to appear as big as I imagined.

After writing martial arts, I have a deeper understanding of substitution and reality, and I think that "reality" can better reflect the essence than "reality".

As long as it is real enough to immerse the reader, it can also achieve a realistic effect, and it is more interesting to pursue novelty.

Therefore, when I write mysteries, I consult a lot of information and flesh out the details, just to bring the world to life, so that everyone can naturally immerse themselves in it when reading, and know what to eat here, what to use, how much it costs, and what the customs are.

This is actually something in common with the triple-A masterpieces of recent years, an open, free but real enough world.

Realism, immersion, this is an idea that slowly became clear after I finished writing martial arts and in the process of writing mysteries, and it was only at this time that I really refined my complete creative methodology.

Of course, this way of writing is really tiring, very tiring.

This point, the mystery was done very well in the early and middle stages, and after the sequence was improved, there was a certain weakening, and the next step, what I need to think about is how to create reality at a high level of power.

The sixth key word is "soft".

I remember summarizing it in the previous part, so I won't say much about it here - the main thing is that after writing so many words in one breath, my mind begins to diverge, I want to have fun, I want to be lazy.

"Soft", my understanding is that there is enough foreshadowing for the plot turn, enough fermentation process for emotional advancement, and enough suitable release, if the former is not done well, it will turn for the sake of the twist, and the climax and climax will only be abrupt and cannot reflect the impact, and the latter is easy to become sprinkled with dog blood and too sensational.

In this regard, I have been restraining myself, if it is not suitable for a knife, absolutely do not send a knife, you can't knife for the sake of a knife, if a main character can't die worthwhile, die properly, and die with a sense of impact, then it's better to live. Trauma for trauma's sake is not gentle enough.

In the same way, don't sensationalize where you shouldn't be sensational, and the expression of emotions must be clear about when to refrain from, what can erupt, whether the overall atmosphere supports this, etc., etc.

Also, you can't slap your face for the sake of slapping your face, you can't be cool for the sake of being cool, the plot is promoted, and the cool point will naturally be soft and not embarrassing.

At this point, in terms of mystery, I did a good job, and the only time I surpassed it was in the chapter of asking myself, but there were traces of it.

The seventh key word is "people":

As I said before, I am a story before the characters, which is somewhat different from the characters before the story, but since the beginning of martial arts, I have become more and more aware that the characters are also important.

One, the world view is the skeleton, the plot is the flesh, the characters are the blood, there are no good characters, then this book will be dead, it is difficult to make a large long story interesting in every part, attractive enough, and it is difficult to create resonance, emotion and various emotions.

In terms of character building, in addition to the hierarchical nature of character settings, I have slowly figured out a word: "interaction".

The image of the character is built on the interaction of the characters. Psychological interaction alone, individual action, useful once or twice, is inevitably monotonous, thin, and boring if there are too many times.

With interaction, the characters come to life and show different selves in different interactions.

I won't expand on the specifics, because I wrote too much, and I want to finish it quickly.

Also, the ultimate characters must come from the ultimate plot, and the ultimate plot must create the ultimate characters, and the two are not completely separated.

In the book of mystery, I went from vague cognition to clear use, which can be regarded as a certain gain, and I have also created some good characters, of course, some of the characters are hindered by the length, and the growth curve of the characters cannot keep up with Xiao Ke, so I can only complete the first half, and I hope that the second part in the future can be better portrayed.

Overall, although Amon is hated by many people, the overall completion of his character is the highest except for Xiao Ke.

In the same way, I have a certain problem with the creation of many villains, as I said in the seventh part, I always have the habit of setting too strongly, lacking enough opportunities to appear, the accumulation of emotions is very small, and the interaction is even less, which has to be changed in the future.

In addition, combined with the keyword "real", the characters also have to pay attention to whether they are distorted, sometimes, too funny, too much fun, it is easy to distort the characters, degenerate into the kind of characters in most anime, of course, this does not mean that such characters will not be charming, whether they are distorted or not depends on the overall atmosphere of the story.

The eighth key word is "change".

This is the most mentioned in the summary.,The most taboo thing in a book is a layer of unchanged.,Whether it's a bright line.,Or a dark line.,There must be a certain amount of change.,Otherwise, it can't support a long length.,Even if it's the simplest wireless wind fantasy text.,It's also to bring changes by changing the map again and again.,Eliminate the sense of repetition in the plot.。

In the process of writing mysteries, in the middle of the fourth part, the escalation line is too long, resulting in insufficient changes and a decrease in plot tension. In the past, it was difficult to unfold in the later stage of martial arts, and the plot began to repeat, and the fights became more and more boring. This is all said, we must improve it in the future, always pay attention, be sober, and prevent it in advance.

The ninth key word is "detail".

The devil is always in the details, which is also the key to the implementation of "substitution", "truth", "softness" and "character".

Lack of details, undoubtedly will not be real, cannot be substituted, the interaction is boring, and the twists are abrupt.

It's a big subject, so I'm too lazy to talk about it, and it's not a writing class anyway.

In short, there are many details in this book, so there is texture, characters, pictures, and emotional resonance, which I am very satisfied with, but the later battles are too abstract and conceptual, and gradually lack details, which is indeed a big problem.

At this point, I currently have some ideas, which is the inspiration that JOJO brought me, that is, to give the rules and restrictions of ability, try to be simple but clear enough rules and restrictions, and then make a fuss in this framework, so that the ability has boundaries and the details are guaranteed.

This is a point that can be promoted later.

The tenth key word is "emotion".

Writing this, I really don't want to write, I'm too tired and emotional.

Hey, in fact, many online writers have talked about emotion, and even many people take it as the core of their creative methods, and the whole story is planned and paved around how to mobilize readers' emotions.

I also attach great importance to emotions, because a good climax, a good clip, and a good character will eventually contain or bring emotions, and without emotions, the story will be dry and lack enough appeal.

I won't talk about other ways to pull hatred, I know a lot, I use less, I prefer to use the conflict of the plot to advance.

However, for emotions, I will always pay attention to whether the advancement of emotions is natural, whether it is smooth, and whether there are too many interruptions in the middle, otherwise I will not be able to pile up orgasms and shocks.

In addition, emotions cannot be equated with hatred and venting, there is also love and justice, no, there are touched, loved, satisfied, etc., etc., a good author, you have to try to enrich your arsenal and mobilize more types of emotions.

In the mystery, I am very restrained in giving emotions as a whole, and I have been softening the advancement of emotions, so so many creative keywords definitely do not exist alone, they all cooperate with each other and are naturally integrated.

Regarding the classic scenes of emotional expression in the mystery, I can recall some with my eyes closed, so I won't boast, mainly because I'm too lazy to write, in short, it's not bad, and the next one hopes to enhance the explosiveness of emotional catharsis, so that it can be organically combined with other emotional expressions.

The eleventh key word is to replace the climax with "impact", and scenes such as "Chernobyl" are performances, and the twelfth key word...... Forget it, I don't write it, I'm too tired, I'm out of ink, and it's all the ones that aren't too important anyway.

I'm not afraid to be learned, on the contrary, I want someone to learn, which means I can read a lot of books that suit my tastes, but this kind of creation is bound to be tiring, and of course, it will be very satisfying.

Well,The last number of reports.,Mystery is now ordered at 109,000.,Chase because there's a last bonus.,It's been quite high.,The whole is a little higher than the seventh part as a whole.,Most of the time it's between 60,01 and 60,003.,The lowest is 50,008.,The highest is the last three chapters.,All broke through 70,000.,The last chapter is now 90,000 in 24 hours.。。

After writing the mysterious creation, summing up the gains and losses, let's talk about the new book.

Well,I won't open Mystery 2 directly.,I'm worried that I'll repeat some of the things in this one.,I hope to write something else to change my mind first.,And then do some accumulation.。

As I said before in the new book, choose one of the wasteland and the fairy. When I was writing mysteriously, I wanted the next book to write a relaxed tone.,It's a little fun.,So at first, it was biased towards Xianxia.,Later, someone told me that I could handle the protagonist a little crazy.,Let him dilute the tone of the wasteland.,It seems interesting.。

Anyway, I'm on the balance now, and when I take a break and clear my brain, then ask myself which one I would most like to write about.

The new book is preliminarily determined to be mid-November.,The specific time will be announced on the public account.,From now to that time,I'll first serialize a twenty or thirty thousand small fanwai here,And then successively,Put some mysterious settings on the public account from time to time,Write some small fanwai,At the same time,Announce the theme of the new book,Some settings,Collect dragon sets, etc.,Search for "wuzei1985",Anime avatar that's that。
