Chapter 67: Outline

"If we want to solve Carvin, we must first know why Carvin.

For example, if you have written an outline, please raise your hand. Mo Qingyang wrote the outline on the blackboard with chalk, then circled it and said to the seated authors.

"Alright, please put it down. Mo Qingyang looked at nearly half of the people in the classroom and raised their hands, waved their hands and said.

"Authors who don't write an outline, I want to ask you why you don't write it? Mo Qingyang said.

"I didn't know how to write, I didn't want to write, and at first I didn't think the outline was interesting, so I didn't write it. Someone under the podium raised his hand, Mo Qingyang motioned for him to speak, and the man said loudly.

"Okay, then let's answer the author's question first, I can't write. I don't want to write, it's boring. Mo Qingyang wrote these three sentences on the blackboard.

"The first one, I can't write, which author just now, I want to ask you, the book you wrote came from inspiration or thought about it for a long time. Mo Qingyang said.

"I came from inspiration, I continued to expand this inspiration, and then I started to write an essay. The man said.

"Well, it comes from inspiration, we all know one thing, inspiration is fleeting, I have met many people before, they are the same, when they think of an inspiration, they start to write a book, he has already thought about the ** of the story, the characters of the story, and even has thought about the ending,

But, in the end, it was not finished, and one of the problems that arose here was - blankness. Mo Qingyang said.

"Why is there a gap, we might as well think about it, an inspiration often comes from life, or something makes people inspired, he thinks, this thing is interesting, I want to write about it.

This kind of essay often lacks stories to fill in the gaps in the early stage, which leads to some people in the early stage of writing the essay, just wrote a few chapters, finished, and don't know how to write, what is the main lack?

What is lacking is the fullness of the plot, and without the plot to fill the gaps in the early stage, it is impossible to continue the story in the later stage. After Mo Qingyang wrote the word plump on the blackboard, he drew a circle again.

"Someone will ask, teacher, I don't know how to write the plot, and I don't know what kind of plot to insert. Mo Qingyang said.

Actually, at this time, I have to go back to the word outline. Mo Qingyang circled the outline again.

"What is the outline, the outline is your fleeting inspiration, it is this inspiration that creates this story, this web article.

At this time, we can write down this inspiration as an outline, and then write a detailed outline after writing it down.

Some people may ask, if the outline is written, do you still need to write the outline? What is the outline? Mo Qingyang said, and wrote the word "outline" on the blackboard.

"The outline, as the name suggests, is that when the outline is written down, the outline is divided into many parts, which is called the outline.

When we write down the outline, the main line of our story is already out. At this time, what are we missing? We are short of characters. Mo Qingyang wrote the word character on the blackboard again and circled it.

"What kind of character is suitable for which paragraph, and what kind of character is more appropriate, this is another point.

When our character comes out, we don't need to tell the reader who this person is and what he has experienced before, we just need to let him or cooperate with the protagonist. Or go against the protagonist.

If you feel the need to let the reader know what this character has experienced before and what has happened, you don't have to write it down immediately, we can show it in the text little by little through recollection.

For example, Zhang San is a villain, and Li San is our protagonist, so we can insert Zhang San's previous things from the things behind.

It's like it can be written like this, Zhang San was seriously injured by Li Si, but Li Si didn't hurt Zhang San's life, Zhang San was stunned, how could a wicked person like him let Li Si let himself go so easily,

At this time, you can bring in some memories of Zhang San's past, so that Zhang San's past can be inserted into the text.

This is much better than when you directly write the character of Zhang San, and then write about how Zhang San used to be, and how evil he was, and not let the reader feel that you are making up the number of words. Hydrology. Mo Qingyang said.

In the audience, everyone listened carefully to Mo Qingyang's lecture, and some were afraid that they would not be able to remember, so they took a notebook and began to remember the key points that Mo Qingyang said.

"Hey, I didn't think of it before, I haven't written an outline or a detailed outline. Xu Ergou said softly.

"You're a pig, it's strange to think of it. Xia Youhan was stunned on the side.

"What about pigs. If I were a pig. Then you won't be a pig woman. Xu Ergou chuckled.

"You're the pig woman, you're the marshal of the canopy—drill into the pig's nest. Xia Youhan said.

"Anyway, I don't care, marry a chicken and marry a dog with a dog, you are what I am. Xu Ergou said cheekily.

"Bah, shameless, I haven't even promised you yet. Xia Youhan said.

"Sooner or later, you will be mine sooner or later. Xu Ergou said.

"Hmph, you sleep with a pillow a little higher. Xia Youhan said.

"What do you mean?"

"You're dreaming. ”

“……”

"Listen to the lecture well, don't disturb me. Xia Youhan said, no longer frolicking with Xu Ergou, looking at Mo Qingyang seriously and listening to his lecture.

"Hmph. Xu Ergou snorted aggrievedly and looked over.

"Okay, then let's talk about this again, I don't want to write about it. Mo Qingyang pointed to the circle and didn't want to write.

"Why don't you want to write an outline? Is there anyone willing to answer that? Mo Qingyang continued.

"Because I feel that I have the outline in my head, it doesn't matter if I write it or not. Someone raised his hand and said.

"What happened to the rest of the story?" Mo Qingyang asked.

"I've written dozens of chapters, and I can't write anymore. The man replied.

"Okay, I see, sit down, are any of you like him?" asked Mo Qingyang.

A few people in the audience didn't speak, but they all nodded in acknowledgement.

"Okay. This is actually the same as what I just said, you think that if you keep the outline in your head, you will not forget, and I believe that you will not forget, but you also ignore one point. It's also a fine outline,

It's just that you're a little bit better than the ones they don't outline. That is, you can write the story.

However, you can't write much, right? In your mind, whether it's the characters, the plot of the story, or the development of the plot, you all have a certain range of thinking, right?

At the beginning, you will feel that the writing is very smooth, but in the future, you will write very stuck, whether it is the development of the plot or the creation of characters, it will become very slow. Yes, I'm sure that's the problem you're having as well. Mo Qingyang said.

Under the podium, some people exchanged in low voices, and during the exchange, some people kept nodding their heads, as if they agreed with what Mo Qingyang said.

"Okay, let's go back to the theme, the outline, your outline, the outline is equal to the main line of the story, and the main line of the story is written, which leads to the fact that you wrote well in the front, and the main line of the story in the back is broken,

Or it's stuck, so it's caused by the situation with Carvin. Mo Qingyang said, and at the same time, on the blackboard, he drew an equal sign between the outline and the main line of the story.

"At this time, if you don't write an outline anymore, or you still don't think you need to write an outline, then. If you can't write a detailed outline, if you can't write it, it will be written, and it will take a long time, even if you have signed a contract with the website for this book.

But you will still choose to abandon the article and open a new online article, but the result is still the same, which leads to your continuous opening of books, and there are many books that are constantly interrupted, which is what we commonly call eunuchs. Mo Qingyang said.

And your behavior like this will cause your credibility on the online literature platform to get lower and lower, and in the end, no one will read your book, no matter how well your writing is. No one wants to see it. Mo Qingyang continued.

"I said, no one reads my book until the end, I thought it was because the website had less readership, it turned out that I had lowered my creditworthiness. Someone in the crowd said.

"That's right, I thought it was the Xingchen Literature Network that didn't work, there were few readers left, I almost changed the website, I was dizzy, it turned out to be my own reason. Someone else said.

On the podium, Mo Qingyang did not disturb the discussion of the authors, and let them communicate.

"Zero ......"

"Okay, everyone, that's all for today's lesson, you take a rest first, there will be other teachers to teach you the rest in a while, if you don't understand anything, you can add me to the Penguin and ask me,

During the course, I will answer them for you one by one. Of course, in the following lessons, I will also answer your questions about what you don't understand. When the bell rang for the end of class, Mo Qingyang wrote his penguin number on the blackboard, said it to everyone, and walked out after speaking.

"Ergou, don't add one yet. Xia Youhan asked.

"Ergou, Ergou?" Xia Youhan saw that Xu Ergou didn't react, and turned his head, only to find that Xu Ergou didn't know when he fell asleep.

"This thing. When I was studying, I was a sleeping god. I'll get sleepy after listening to the lectures. No wonder you can only go to a technical school. Xia Youhan looked at the sleeping Xu Ergou and pouted.

"Forget it, I'll add one myself. Xia Youhan took out his mobile phone and added the penguin number left by Mo Qingyang as a friend.

"Get up, you're a pig, you know how to sleep. Xia Youhan put away his mobile phone and shook Xu Ergou vigorously and said.

"What's wrong with the pig?" Xu Ergou heard Xia Youhan say a pig in a daze, and the others didn't hear clearly, so he asked lazily.

"Can you have a snack? Xia Youhan looked at Xu Ergou speechlessly and said.

"What the hell. Xu Ergou asked.

"The lesson just now. How much have you listened?" Xia Youhan asked.

"I listened... How much have I heard? Forget it, I'll sleep a little longer. Xu Ergou squinted his eyes and said, turned his head, and continued to sleep.
