Chapter 81: About the fullness of the plot

"Alas, I'm too hard. Xu Ergou sighed.

"Why are you in a hurry, this benefit has always been there, and it won't change, and you can't enjoy the above benefits if you reopen the book after writing the two books. Qianfeng said.

"Alas, you don't understand, this kind of thing, only those who can enjoy it among the first to have a sense of accomplishment. Xu Ergou said.

"I'm sorry, the sense of accomplishment of the fart, aren't you just thinking that the welfare is low? Give me all these things that I don't have, Sao Nian, come on update, I'm optimistic about you." Qianfeng seemed to see through Xu Ergou's thoughts, mocked, and finally followed with an extremely sassy expression.

"Boss, won't your conscience hurt if you treat me like this?" Xu Ergou didn't refute after discovering that his little caution was exposed by Qianfeng, and then returned the information.

"Conscience, conscience is only worth a few pounds, you have time to grind with me, it's better to go back and take a good look at the content you left behind in the online literature university, and improve the quality of your writing. Dry Wind replied.

"By the way, there is something I have to tell you, about the honor value, I missed it last time, I didn't notice it, and I only noticed it in the past two days. "The dry wind replied to the message.

"What's wrong with the honor value?" asked Xu Ergou.

"In addition to the way readers give gifts to the author, there is another way to get it, that is, according to the author's update speed and quality to get honor points, the higher the quality of the online article, the higher the honor value will be, the last time I missed it, this time I made up for it. Qianfeng said.

"Then how many honor points can I get by updating a chapter of online articles? Xu Ergou asked.

"It's hard to say.,Didn't you say it just now.,It's based on the quality of the author's update to get the score of the honor value.,How many points you can get.,You don't know if you pay attention to it yourself.,You don't know if the league refreshes the ranking every half an hour.。 You subtract the refreshed score from the score you've already earned to get an approximate statistic. Qianfeng replied, followed by a nose-picking expression.

"I'm dizzy, I have to rely on myself for feelings. Xu Ergou complained speechlessly.

"Is it up to me? Your work is contested, and only you can operate everything yourself, we can only watch it, not interfere with it. The dry wind sent a white-eyed expression.

"Okay, don't delay your rest, go to bed early. Xu Ergou thought about it, so he ended the topic.

"Well, let's take care of your illness, and you will have the energy to compete when you are well. Down. "As soon as the dry wind message was sent, the avatar turned gray.

"Hand speed class, I don't know if the playback is still effective. Xu Ergou opened the official website of Wangwen University, followed by the upload date of the video, and it took a while to find the first class after he fell into a coma, Xu Ergou put on the headphones and made sure that he would not disturb others, and then clicked on the video.

At the beginning of the video, the camera went straight to the podium, and the tutor in the class was still Jiuli, except for the first class of the University of Online Literature was taught by the tutor Mo Qingyang, the others seemed to be contracted by Jiuli.

"Good evening, everyone, today we are going to talk about how to quickly flesh out the plot in the course. Jiuli in the video is still the same as before, at the beginning, he told everyone what he was going to talk about today, and then started to lecture, seeing this, Xu Ergou also calmed down, quietly watching Jiuli lecture in the video.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, before we start this lesson, let's review the content of the previous lesson. In the video, Jiuli went directly to class without starting for the first time, but reviewed the previous content first, skipped the video of the review, and Xu Ergou directly clicked to the time period at the beginning of the main class and watched it.

"This lesson is about the technique of expanding the details of the story, and it should also be helpful for the situation where you have an empty head in the face of documents, but if you don't have any idea what story you want to write,

Then taking this lesson won't help. The premise of this class is that you have at least one book you want to write, and you have a rough idea of what kind of story you want to write, and you basically sort out the main line, so you didn't listen carefully in the first class, and you have to review it well when you go back, and everything is gradual, our course is a complete system.

To master the method we are talking about, then we have to build up the context, step by step from the basics, one of the most common problems for the author to encounter is that the plot is suddenly stuck, the story below is blank, several students asked me this question in the last class, pay attention to listen to it.

For this situation, the most common excuse is "I'm out of inspiration", or I'm not in a good state, inspiration, state, is the author's favorite word to escape the narrative text, subjectively speaking, there are indeed a lot, the author has "the state is coming" when the clouds are flowing, "no state" is stuck, and nothing can be written.

Inspiration is also, it has a great influence on our authors, when I am inspired, I feel that I am omnipotent, all the gods are not as good as my own writing, they are all scum, and when the inspiration is gone, I suddenly find that I am a scumbag, and even deeply feel that I "can't write books at all", this misunderstanding must be gotten rid of, otherwise you can only be such a willful writing enthusiast, and you can't become a professional writer who needs to be responsible for readers.

In this lesson, we are going to talk about "how to flesh out the plot quickly", which is to introduce you to a simple technique to help you use logical thinking to write the details of the story when you lose your "state" and "inspiration". Fast writing, the original intention of this lesson is obviously not to let everyone train typing, hand speed is the secondary, what you really want to train is your brain, and then hand and brain coordination, first to be able to think at any time, and then to be able to write down freely when you think.

The main content of the course is to train you to be able to make a rapid breakthrough in a rough and brutal way in a situation of "no inspiration and no state".

Writing, in essence, is unleashing the imagination. The most primitive motivation for writing is to satisfy the "pleasure of imagination release", which is what we call the "internal drive" of writing. But of course, imagination is not something that can be unleashed indefinitely and continuously.

The various plots, scene details, and emotions accumulated in your brain by the activity of "imagining" are of course limited, so your "inspiration" is gone. The self-reward of the brain that accompanies this product of higher thinking, the secretion of the stuff called "creative hormones" also stops, so the "state" that you feel very good about yourself is gone. Before you accumulate enough "creative thinking products" in your mind that you can easily feel without effort,

Your brain is not stimulated and lubricated by the hormones and neurotransmitters that are produced by this "auto-overflow", and it becomes difficult to create. If you find it difficult to understand again, our writing impulse, this feeling of "wanting to write down the thinking products that we feel is valuable", and the "impulse" of this expression, is rooted in the pleasure of releasing imagination.

For example, if you daydream, it's cool, and of course it's cool when you solve a puzzle, and people from different industries use different content to unleash their imagination, which makes you feel comfortable, so you like to do it. This is a reward mechanism for the brain to reward creative thinking activity.

The pleasure caused by this chemical reaction makes you feel refreshed and at the same time, it acts like a lubricant to make your mind more active, so that your work can be produced smoothly.

But when you don't accumulate enough, and you don't have enough of this thinking product in your mind, or maybe not enough quality, then your stern brain won't reward you.

There's nothing strange about this, there's nothing terrible about it, it's a normal phenomenon that every author encounters.

Your inspiration will always run out, and your cool codeword state will always disappear. We don't need to overcome this problem, we just need to adapt our skills and find a way to get back our inspiration and state.

If your ambition is to be a "professional writer", then you need to learn to continue writing when you are not inspired and in a state of mind, so what do we do when we lack this biochemistry?

At this time, we can only use logical thinking to promote imagination, to accumulate those thinking products that make your brain judge as "good", until the quantitative change produces a qualitative change, the imagination overflows again, and the chemical reaction appears again, at this time you feel the flow of water again, constituting a positive creative state cycle.

So what exactly is it called continuing to write when you are not inspired, "quick and full plot"?

We must first understand the so-called plump plot, provided that you already have a plot, at least a large story skeleton, framework, and a general story line, so that we can talk about the details of the "plump" plot.

The point of this passage is that you already have something to rely on, and that support is actually the outline of our first lesson.

When we have the ability to sort out the main plot line at will, we can also plump up on this basis.

How to plump up and where does the detail come from?

There are two sources,

One is that you will have the opportunity to learn in other courses in the future, "inspired by molding", melons ripe and natural,

One is to "honestly rely on logical thinking", to put it bluntly, it is to "forcibly make it up". At the beginning of our writing, what we capture is often a fragment, a fragment, just a picture, or a piece of dialogue, or even just a statement that we feel powerful.

It's not uncommon for writers to say, "That's why I wrote this whole novel," or it's just a strong emotion, "I have to write about this great sentiment," or "I just want to write about this strong desire," and our inspiration products are usually all these incomplete things at first.

Only a corner of the iceberg is exposed, and although there is still a huge amount of content under the surface of the water, we are temporarily inexplicable, unable to see clearly, unable to touch, and can only vaguely perceive. "There's a vague idea of a good idea, I feel the blood boiling the plot just thinking about it, but as soon as I write it, it's gone!"

Grab those sketchy clues that are easy to identify

Then we go to flesh out these fragments, clues, and try to restore the kind of passion we feel

What to do? Plump up these fragments, clues, in two directions:

1. Follow the vine and touch the melon, and dig out the story under the iceberg little by little.

2. Destroy and rebuild, so that your story fragments can add content in self-healing.

We call the first method of deduction for short, which is the "causal deduction of events" that you have already been exposed to in the previous lesson.

The cause and effect are pushed out according to logic, which can also be called the excavation method, which is more vivid, not only the clues before and after, but also the details of digging down, pulling out the radish, lifting the iceberg, and the new role that was laid out for everyone yesterday is to use this method, and doing the character relationship diagram is a typical excavation method.

You first have a protagonist (or the current central character) who has parents, friends, lovers, and other characters that he has a direct relationship with.

Whether or not you use all of these characters in your novel, you can list them as much as you can, and then research whether these relationships are worthwhile and make a choice. Deduction according to the causal relationship, excavation according to the relationship between events, and character relationships is the most direct way to enrich the plot, and the "causal relationship between plots" emphasized when doing the outline exercise is also a typical deduction.

Something happened,

Pushing forward, why did this happen?

Pushing back, what are the consequences of this happening?

Dig down, what is the specific process of this happening? With logical deduction and rational excavation, every event always has a cause and effect, and there is always a specific process, and you will also bring up a series of plots by cutting into an event. Jiuli said this, suddenly stopped, and took a sip of the water in the cup.
