Just want to tell a story
Essay on the way to code words.
First of all, I am very grateful to the book friends who can always be with me today and are willing to read the following hundreds of words.
As a newcomer, when I first wrote this book, I actually very much wanted to write a classic, write a magnificent world, and when the story background was limited to Jiangbei, I thought that I was still above the passing line... But as the story progressed, the background became larger and the relationships between the characters became more and more complex, and it became obvious to me that I could not control my pen power.
Many of the dark lines are abandoned, and many foreshadowings can no longer be mentioned and become meaningless depictions.
So there was the collapse of the domain of the river in the eighth volume (I think the collapse), so I thought about it for a long time at the time, and cut off a lot of outlines, cutting all the battles between the major holy places that were originally going to be written, the rise of the Qianyuan Sect, etc., so that the protagonist arrived at the realm of the gods very quickly and advanced to the plot of the Realms Domain, but in fact, at that time, this book seemed to me to be about to collapse.
From the Realms to the Primordial Land to the Fire Cloud Cave, I began to lay the groundwork for the second half of the book, and I felt that I had controlled the rhythm of the book, and all kinds of foreshadowing was buried again.
But Xue Xuanyuan's plot collapsed again, and I, who had never written a book to a million words, obviously felt that the direction of writing was completely messed up at that time, simply put, the plot was too procrastinated, and there were too many irrelevant characters and stories to describe, and even many readers were about to forget the previous plot, and the story lost its cohesion.
Put it down.
After nearly a year of writing, I just hit the biggest bottleneck, which made me very tired and wanted to correct, but I was at a loss and very painful, and it was the last few days of November 2017.
Very painful.
I don't dare to write anymore, I don't want to write anymore, it's this kind of mentality, I don't want to touch this book from the heart, and I don't even dare to open the page of the starting point.
It's a kind of escaping psychology.
After a long time, I recovered from that state, and I began to re-read this book, to constantly reflect on the flaws and loopholes in the process of writing the book, as well as some of my own mentality problems, and to read a lot, to try to summarize the experience of my predecessors.
In the end, I concluded that the biggest problem in the first half of this book is two points, the main story is scattered and the plot drags on, such as a realm breakthrough, I can spend two or three chapters to write, a fight, I can even write in five chapters, and I can't bear it when I re-read it myself.
I started to re-outline and re-summarize my writing habits.
It's easy to put it down, but it's painful to pick it up again.
I picked it up anyway.
I have disappointed the expectations of many book friends, and I only hope that everyone can be relieved.
In the future, this book can't guarantee the speed of updating, because I participated in the work, 9 to 5, occasionally working overtime, it's really busy, and if I encounter a big bottleneck in the future, maybe I will stop for a while, which is also true.
Remove the gorgeousness of moaning without illness, remove the meaningless description, write the story itself as much as possible, focus on the main story, and tell a complete story.
Right.
Like the original vision, I just wanted to tell a story.
