"If you find that writing brings you only pain and frustration, and never the slightest pleasure, let's be honest, change careers. If writing doesn't really bring you pleasure, it's just a way to feel like you can use it for money, and you don't have any other skills to gain a foothold in society, thinking that this is the way you can try your luck and become a god and make a lot of money

This, first of all, is a fictitious assumption that "I feel like I don't have other skills to stand in society", and it doesn't hold water. Because obviously, there are too many industries to choose from in the world, and there is enough for you to eat. You don't choose just because you don't want to. In the final analysis, the authors who die on the road of writing and never look back continue to write because they love to write

Whether we want to become an author or not, we need to first introspect ourselves on whether we really have the determination to become an author. This is followed by the third job:

Determination to create

My pen name: pen name

My determination to create comes from: please explain it in no less than 100 words

Give you 10 minutes, and you can write and listen to me. Surprisingly, Jiuli didn't have time alone to write books for others this time.

"Some students actually already have a good job and can already support themselves, and some students are still in school and are making various preparations for supporting themselves independently tomorrow.

In any case, the high-end ideal of "realizing self-worth" naturally requires a very high price, if writing a book is your way to self-realization, you may be delayed because of writing a book, so you can't find a good job.

It is possible that there is not enough work energy because of writing a book, being scolded by the boss, not getting a bonus, all kinds of very practical survival problems, if you are not a rich second generation, you will encounter it when writing a book, and relying on writing such a beautiful dream, in fact, the probability of success is not high, it can be said to be very low.

In each previous issue, I have roughly calculated an account for the students in class, and I don't want to repeat the process of calculating the account here, but simply say that the conclusion is, roughly speaking, a newcomer, in the first three months, you should have 800,000 words of manuscript,

In order to ensure that you can maximize the early resources after signing the contract.

If you're not so straightforward about wanting to sign a contract, but positioning yourself as the first thing I want to do is write a book that I approve of. For male frequency, make an estimate of the overall number of words that you can stick to the end of the book, at least one million words, and if you are a female frequency, 40 to 600,000.

As long as you don't have a book to become famous, you always have to hone and accumulate on the writing level, skills, and writing experience, and at the same time you are accumulating your readers, popularity, and word of mouth, this process is long and painful, and many authors have persisted for a year, two years, or even many years, and they are nothing more than ordinary middle-level writers, they are already considered successful.

One of the most important statistics to pay attention to here is that you should maintain at least 200,000 words per month

It is possible to support you to go the whole way, even if it is half the way. Because if you sign it, you'll always need to explode more to please readers from time to time.

You also need to use enough manuscript to give the editor confidence, so that you can have enough recommended resources, you always have a headache and brain fever, and occasionally be lazy, so for a professional writer, 200,000 words per month is a reasonable amount of manuscript for a diligent author.

Of course, you can say that I am not so diligent, I am so willful, so whether it is readers, editors, or website operators, please believe that they still have a lot of authors who are not so willful to choose, I want to tell you a little cold truth in this last lesson.

It may not sound so good, but it's true. Enter the online book industry, to be honest,

This is an industry where there may not be a return on pay, not only because of the fierce competition, but also because of the cruel and cold-blooded fact that your contribution has nothing to do with others.

You have paid and written hundreds of thousands of words, millions of words, but in the end you may not be able to get any return, because there are a lot of authors like you, who are more diligent than you, harder than you, and even more talented than you.

To be honest, I don't think it can be more than 30%, or even less than 20% if you add those who haven't even signed a contract.

That's the ratio of thousandths and ten-thousandths. The brilliance of the great god was dazzling, and that was because a ring of candles had been lit around all the cannon fodder.

So, have you really made up your mind to write? Aragi is very stressed, very heavy, determined Aragi is feeling shaken?

My strengths

My pen name: pen name

My creative strengths: Please describe your strongest strength in writing in no more than 100 words.

The fourth assignment, 15 minutes, calmly thinks about whether you really want to pursue a career in writing

If you feel that you have made up your mind to eat the bowl of writing no matter what, or at least not to eat the bowl of rice and write without regrets, then find your own advantage and play to it.

At the same time, it is also to find a real basis for your determination, so that you have all the internal conditions to start writing, and then, we need a certain amount of external strength to keep our internal drive to the maximum, rather than being consumed needlessly.

It only takes one thing, and that is isolation. Of course, writing cannot be done behind closed doors, it is necessary to keep up with the times and broaden one's horizons, and the author must have rich experience in order to write good works.

However, these accumulations should be completed outside of your "writing time", whether it is the conditions to travel and collect styles, or you have the leisure to wander around the Internet, care about various current affairs and hot topics, or recharge yourself to make up for classes, read various theoretical works, read historical materials, learn various new knowledge, etc., these should not be carried out in your "creative time".

The way for an author to ensure that he creates 8,000 words a day is to set aside "exclusive time" for his creator to set aside 8,000 words. Even if it's a patchwork of exclusive time.

During this time, the author should be isolated from the world. Doing nothing but telling your own story, and not putting any other extra preparation into your writing time, you should disconnect from your network, close your reference books, and have only the document you have open on the whole screen.

If your real life doesn't allow you to have a lot of time to write, then try to make up a few blocks of time and train yourself to focus quickly in those few chunks. This one is actually not difficult at all. If you do it, you can do it. It's like not wanting to wash the dishes after eating, but as long as you do, you will be able to wash the dishes quickly.

Of course, in order to ensure that you can overcome inertia and really go to the dish washing, you should be good at using tools.

The tool can be a virtual thing created by oneself, not that everyone has to use special high-tech such as a small black house to get the "forced writing". If you have a codeword tool like Little Black House, make good use of it.

If you can't get used to such software, it's actually a simple timer and an alarm clock, which can solve the problem. If we don't look at the word "tool" in such a narrow sense, the 10-minute 500-word exercise that we mandate from start to finish is just a tool in itself. When you simply practice, it is a speed-up training tool, a creative start-up speed training tool, and if you use it before writing an essay every day, it is a warm-up tool.

Outline, again, is just a tool when you need an outline before you write. Most of the conditions that make us successful are really not that difficult to achieve, we just need to have a little external force to push us in addition to the basic internal drive.

According to your own situation and environment, create such writing conditions for yourself, establish a healthy and positive attitude, and then hold on to it and wait for others to fail. After all, that's it, and here's it, we've actually finished all the lessons.

Our course, the four main lessons, is to quickly outline, quickly plump up the plot, quickly design the plot branch, and write and write. In order to improve the speed of the code word and the number of manuscripts saved, we need to break down the problem first, so we designed the following four lessons, follow the steps like this:

1. Practice quickly getting the story outline out first.

2. Then learn to quickly plump up the plot,

3. Follow the subplot that you can design as you like. These three steps add up, plus:

4. With the determination to persevere, the advantages that support your own success, and the good writing conditions you create, you should be able to complete an improvement in speed and quantity at the same time.

In order to put the principles taught in the theory class into practice, we will start the last part of the course, which is the legendary devil training. As for this special training, I hope that everyone will participate, not to listen to the class, but to participate! Today's class, there is also a routine homework after class,

It's very simple, please write down your feelings and experiences just about the content of today's class, after all, I am a blow today, and I am intimidating and threatening, you should still have thoughts about me, right?

The fifth assignment, about the two exercises that let everyone write the text in 5 minutes today, I hope you will go back and see for yourself, if you are willing to practice, pay attention to the main point of this exercise, not in fast, but in accuracy.

Fast, just quick hands, no hair, you are an author, not a typist. All our exercises and techniques are designed to make you think quickly, and make the process of converting your thinking into words easier, what you need to practice is just to allow yourself to quickly concentrate on thinking and practicing repeatedly, how to pour out the things in your head smoothly and accurately, and turn them into words, don't give up your 10-minute homework, that's all for today's lesson, we'll see you at the same time next week. After Jiuli finished speaking, she was still like that, walking out of the classroom by herself, without a trace of affection.
