Chapter 75: Precautions

Now that we've talked about the use of punctuation, let's talk about a mistake that many people make – segmentation. Jiuli continued to write on the blackboard.

"Why do you say segmentation? Does anyone here know?" said Jiu Li, looking at the others.

"It's because some authors don't know how to segment, or arbitrarily segment paragraphs, resulting in the words that are often not written in the online texts. A slightly chubby man said.

"The answer is very good, yes, the reason why we talk about segmentation is because many authors don't know how to segment, and some people don't even know how to segment.

When we were reading, the Chinese teacher would tell us about the writing of the essay, in addition to the content of the teacher's essay is the belly of the dragon head and phoenix tail, the other one is the segmentation.

Then some people will ask, Master Jiuli, I will also be segmented, why do you want to talk about it?

Actually, just like what a classmate said just now, many authors don't know how to segment, and some people don't deal with segmentation after two blank spaces at the beginning, and they start to bury their heads in writing, and write down a chapter of online texts in one paragraph.

There are also people who are often active in the author's circle, know the importance of segmentation to writing essays, but they are too diligent, a paragraph is divided into three paragraphs or four paragraphs to write, in order to control the segmentation, even a sentence can be divided into two paragraphs to write, an article down, the segmentation is more, but, what is the meaning of your online article? No, isn't it, so we must take the opportunity of the opening of the online literature university to tell you about the segmentation. Jiuli said.

"Then Mentor Jiuli, how can we control the segments?" someone raised his hand and said.

"That's a good question, let me ask you, has anyone read the book of the great god in our Star Literature Network?" asked Jiu Li.

"I've seen it, and I don't think it's any different from the others. Someone said.

"Different?" When Jiuli heard this, the corners of her mouth rose and she shook her head helplessly.

"Haven't you noticed how those great gods are segmented?" said Jiuli again. The people in the audience looked puzzled and shook their heads.

"Okay, let's not talk about them, if you keep talking, I guess you're going to scold me. See the blackboard, we say segmentation.

A normal segment is best controlled to about seven lines, but not more than seven, which is most appropriate. Jiuli patted the blackboard and said.

"Mentor Jiuli, what you just said is that it is best to control the segmentation to about seven lines, how can we grasp the exact number of lines? Or, how many words are there in a seven-line segment?"

"This problem is very simple, we can't specifically count how many words there are in a paragraph, or to deliberately control it, there is a good and resolute way to do this, that is, to read books.

We all know that with the development of the Internet and the popularity of smart phones, many users have begun to use their mobile phones to read novels, which is the current aspect of social development.

When we can't control the sections, we use our own phones to read the novels we have written, and when we find that the existing sections are more than seven lines, we can correct them in time.

Of course, I know that some of you still have doubts in your hearts, for example, when the characters in my book have dialogues, there are long and short, and it is impossible for everyone's dialogues to maintain about seven lines, so don't you know grinding and chattering?

On this point, we can not deliberately grasp the segmentation, but we must pay attention to the fragmentation of the relationship, and make sure that every sentence of the characters in it is finished before starting the next paragraph. Okay, that's all I'm going to talk about preparing to write a book, after you take notes, go back and study it carefully, and then, I'm going to talk about the second stage - preparing to submit!" Jiuli said.

"On the issue of submission, the first thing we have to do is to familiarize ourselves with the benefits, because the benefits of each website are different, we only have to familiarize ourselves with the benefits of the website first, and then choose the website that is suitable for our own conditions.

When the manuscript we submitted passed the review, add the editor's penguin number, the first sentence must not ask the editor, hello, may I ask what is the welfare of your website, every editor is very busy, and there is no time to reply to you These things that have been written and published, unless you really can't understand, and then ask the editor accurately and specifically, so we must be familiar with the benefits when we submit.

"Next, let's talk about the topic, submission, we all know that the contract content of each website is different, some contract words should reach 30,000 words, some 20,000 words, some even 10,000 words, exaggerated, up to 100,000 words.

We don't need to say much about the number of words, let's talk about the format, the general website for the work to be reviewed of the book, the format is much the same, nothing more than the text plus the outline, the number of words in the text or depends on the specific requirements of the website.

As for the outline, it is almost enough to write according to the general directions of the work highlights, work synopsis, plot direction, important turns, character settings, and gold finger settings, and the form is not important, as long as you can let the editor see the highlights of your work, it is enough.

In addition, generally speaking, if it is a backstage review, there is no need for an outline, but it is better for students to prepare an outline, not to cope with the editor, but to make their writing ideas clearer.

Okay, when we do the above points, we can prepare for submission, but we also need to pay attention to one thing, that is, when we submit, our new book will be updated.

When some people are submitting, they often think, oops, there is no such thing as an update, and I am waiting for the review to pass the update, but I don't know that when you have such an idea, you are already wrong.

No matter which website the editor is, he will not like to update an unstable work, especially during the review period, if you break the update, what will the editor think? Will they think that you will not finish the book at all, and at the same time, the editor will lower the impression of your book?

Therefore, when we sign the review, try to keep it updated, don't break the update, by the way, here is the focus of the point, some people will ask, teacher, you can't break the update when you sign the review, so can you break the update after the signing is completed?

Here, I advise those who have this kind of thinking, don't have this kind of thought, when you do this, you are lowering your credibility score from the editor, or the reader, and the degree of dependence on your work, which will cause the reader to get out of the pit early on, and you are not needed, so remember, no matter what, you must be updated, which is also the basic quality of being an author. Jiuli said endlessly on the podium, and even had a feeling of unfinished.

"Alright, it's still early for class to end. Let's take a 10-minute break. The time to come. You can talk to each other a bit, but try not to be too loud and noisy to other people. Jiuli looked at the time, feeling that it was still early, and she was tired after talking so much, so she said to everyone in the classroom.

"Ergou, I'm so tired, rub my shoulders. Xia Youhan only felt a little tired after listening to the class, so he asked Xu Ergou to help rub his shoulders.

"Okay. Xu Ergou agreed. He put his hands up, and while asking Xia Youhan if his strength was light, he increased the strength in his hands.

"With this strength, I'm almost tired, are you tired?" Xia Youhan asked.

"I'm okay, I don't know anything about it, I'm not in a hurry, I'm going back and reviewing slowly. Xu Ergou said.

"Okay, much more comfortable, thank you. After rubbing it for a while, Xia Youhan said. Then he twisted his neck, stretched his waist again, and his bones made a gurgling sound, and then he felt that his whole body was much refreshed.

"Okay, everyone, you should have almost communicated, now you all take back your thoughts, let's talk a little more, today's class is over, now, please concentrate. Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiu Li's voice was much more comfortable, and she said loudly.

"Okay, when we started the class, we talked about the three categories of precautions, we have already talked about the two categories before, and now we will talk about the third category, the contract is successful. After Jiuli saw that everyone had taken their minds back, she spoke.

"The so-called successful signing means that you have passed the two categories mentioned above, your book has been appreciated by the editor, your book has bright spots, or has potential, and has been favored by the editor. Jiuli dealt with the four big words of the contract on the blackboard.

"Contract, these two words, I believe everyone here knows its characteristics, in this era of commercialization of everything, in addition to the legal binding ability of the contract in the superficial sense, more important is the protection of your interests.

Regarding the contract, there is a special course on "contract precautions", I hope everyone can listen to it well, I will not repeat it here, we are mainly talking about it here, it is about our main precautions after the successful signing.

Friends who have signed contracts with the website should know that when we sign a contract, we all have to fill in the author's personal information, which includes but is not limited to the following important fields, namely the author's name, Huaxia certificate, Huaxia certificate number, Huaxia certificate address, real life address, bank card, opening bank, account name, and a copy of the Huaxia certificate.

Among them, there is no doubt about the accuracy of the Huaxia certificate number and real-life address, but more importantly, the bank card information.

When we sign the contract, the editor will emphasize that we must write the bank account information of the bank card accurately, which is directly related to whether we can enter our account on time when we get the manuscript fee.

If we don't know where our bank is, we must call the bank to verify our bank, and we must be very cautious when doing this step.

Once there is a mistake, not only can the manuscript fee not be received, but also because of the wrong information of the opening bank, resulting in a new contract, which is a very troublesome thing, so we must pay attention to every word said by the editor before signing the contract, which is closely related to our interests. Jiuli said with a serious face.
