A letter to the reader to make trouble
To do things is to do things.
Something, I'm going to work.
Doing things, this was supposed to be temporarily suspended.
Do something, and I'll finish the book when I come back in a year.

The above four lines are the outline of the content of this chapter, which is the main theme of the article, and the following are the fragmentary thoughts that imply the author's resentment.

Let's talk about the testimonials of doing things.
"Chicks" was first updated on January 31, the original play ticket, but I didn't expect to sign a contract. The joy brought by this accident is vividly expressed in the post-volume summary of my first volume, and students who want to read it may wish to take a look.
And today, on August 3, 2017, when the total number of words reached 570,000 words, I have to regret that this should have been stopped.
There is no other reason, work. This is force majeure, I can't go against the future of earning money to buy a house, buy a car and marry a daughter-in-law, so I can only give in and set foot on the job, at least six months, during which there may be Internet, but only a small part of the time.
Since the daily update is destined to be incomplete, it is better to directly suspend the update.
It just so happens that I can also take the opportunity to slow down, and it is not too difficult to update 4,000 a day, but because of the sense of crisis, as long as I am free, I will code out 6,800 words, and these manuscripts, because of the things that have to be done, are consumed, and I can only write them every day.
These two months of full attendance were really tiring.
And there are a lot of problems in this regard.
Whether it is the setting, plot, foreshadowing, or plot layout, rhythm of writing, character and many other aspects, they are full of loopholes. Taking advantage of this long time when you don't have to be busy with updates,
I can make the setting perfect and detailed, the plot is clearly divided, and the foreshadowing is taken care of...... Perfecting the book in every sense of the word.
After all, it's my first book, and it has a very important significance, in case I become a great god a day later, and the readers who come to archaeology see the leaky "Chicks", where do I put my godhead?
Right!
Brother Jue's first book "Ghost Shouting and Catching Ghosts" was not signed, and the second book "Crime Trafficking" was not famous, but after becoming famous, the first two books were still praised by everyone?
Ha, the finch also has the ambition of a bird!
We're going to be the men of the gods!
。
。
Although this book has many loopholes, I have benefited a lot from this book. Growing up, I never insisted on sticking to something for more than two months because I loved something, and at most I failed miserably in one month.
Therefore, it is really enough to be proud of being able to insist on updating for more than 180 days, more than six months, at least 2,000 words, and not falling for a day. With the in-depth construction of the world of "Chicks", I broke through many difficulties and gradually saw a new world.
I once said in the [Jianghu Princess] volume that the first volume of [Alliance Leader's Violent Death] is completely an improvised work written by talent, as an opening of only 40,000 words, you don't need to think too much, the background, setting, and foreshadowing can be brushed aside, there is no need to design accurately, as long as the layout is done well.
And in fact, the first volume does just that.
I think the layout is still very good, and the suspense and plot development are also considered to be attentive. It's barely above the passing mark.
The second volume [The Theft of Xuanyuan] is a continuation of talent, confined the story to a small city, connecting the past and the future, expanding the background, and laying the foundation for the development of the later plot.
The number of words has doubled, to 80,000 words, and this volume is okay, above the passing line.
And some readers pointed out that "the timeline of [Xuanyuan Stolen] and [Alliance Leader's Violent Death] is reversed", which is purely helpless.
Because I wrote the first volume improvisedly, I didn't think about the background, setting, or anything like that. Even how they know how to appear, how to develop in the future, the author himself is confused:
Naturally, I have to write a volume of the previous article to sort out and explain the plots mentioned in [The Violent Death of the Alliance Leader", "The Theft of Xuanyuan", "The Encounter between Xu Heng and Shao Yinshui", and "The Encounter between Su Su and Xu Heng", which is "Inheriting the Past";
Then write out the "background of Ma Wangye and the ghost city of Yudu" to "enlighten the future" for the development of the plot later.
It's an attempt to sort out the plot, and it feels like this kind of timeline interspersed with articles still looks quite interesting, right?
By the way, there is another volume in the outline that is also like this, in order to unlock deeper secrets. Well, that's an afterword, I'll talk about it later.
The above is [Xuanyuan theft], I am lazy half by instinct, half by article development, a little bit of the plot, but still too lazy not to set up in detail, do a good plot.
The outline is just a vague concept, and you have a vague idea of where to write.
So the third volume [Jianghu Princess] appeared.
The original intention of this volume was just that Xu Heng went to Su Su's house to meet his parents, and then helped his father-in-law solve some small things by the way.
But it is written that it deviates a little, leading to the financial envoy of the ghost city of Xudu, the details of the rivers and lakes, and Xu Heng's life experience, after this volume, the ghost city of Xudu has laid the setting of the big boss, and the future chapters have also appeared.
After meeting the woman's parents, it is natural to go to the man's parents!
So there is the fourth, which is also the unfinished volume of [Ghost City of Xudu].
In fact, as early as the [Jianghu Princess] volume, the author was still in school, close to graduation, busy with his studies, and had no time to think about the plot layout, and in the end the plot was almost out of control.
Fortunately, I finally woke up when I updated the last dozen or so chapters, carefully studied the previous text, and broke the back back, which was quite complete.
Here, my lazy cancer has begun to appear......
It is mainly reflected in the fact that I am too lazy to move after the daily update of the code, and I turn to do other things, watch station B and play Zhihu Weibo, which leads to the plot simply going in a general direction, especially easy to deviate from the outline;
And the setting is not well written, especially the force setting;
I'm the kind of author who doesn't write the setting well and doesn't write at all, so as a martial arts book, when I wrote three volumes of nearly 30,000 words, there were not a few real fights.
Although this book is a suspenseful martial arts, it is indeed a bit worthy of the name of martial arts.
And this one shortcoming, even at the end of the fourth volume of [Ghost City of Xudu], was completely set clearly.
The force was set too late, resulting in some mismatches between the front and back, and when it was written to 500,000 words, many things before and after were taken care of and confused, and many settings were eaten by me in one bite, so I also moved the idea of changing it again.
After entering the ghost town at the back of the [Ghost Town] volume, because of the pressure of updating, coupled with the lack of fun and lack of progress, the plot is really chaotic, especially the ghost town confrontation that I have fantasized about for a long time.
The one-on-one confrontation and questioning should have been a small climax of contradictions......
As a result, under my laziness, the questioning turned into a protracted fight between Xu Heng and Lan Huazang.
The play is cool, but the original rhythm and arrangement are all in vain.
I don't know if you can see this.
The volume that has been written so far, the end, is very hasty.
It was so rushed that it was simply the most unsatisfactory volume for me.
Fortunately, the task was lifted due to force majeure, and in a few days, the update will be completely broken, but in the more than 180 days that it has not been updated, I will revise the article again.
It is mainly the place where the revisions are inconsistent, the setting, and the plot are loopholes.
Additions, deletions, modifications and deletions.
Find ways to make "Chicks" perfect.
This is the second revision, and the first revision is mainly focused on the [Alliance Leader Violent Death] volume, and I personally feel that the change is still good. This time, the modifications after refining the setting, background, and outline will definitely make "Chicks" a radical change.
Although it is said that it will not become a god all of a sudden, it still means a lot to "Chicks" and the author himself.
"Chicks", 570,000 words, 183 days.
When I thought about the signing of the contract at that time, I trembled and filled in "400,000 to 600,000 words" (the minimum number of words required) on the estimated number of words to be completed, and I was still entangled in my heart for a long time whether I could complete this number of words.
And today, more than 100 days later, "Chicks" has easily approached this number, and it is expected that the number of words in the future will be much higher than this.
It's really, inadvertently, what I wrote down casually at the beginning, and it has developed to this point.
Not at all expected.
There are many more stories in my heart, how many can I write in "Chicks"?
A million words?
Or even one and a half million, two million words?
Haha, I don't know, I can tell the story of a group of young chivalrous warriors growing into heroes in the Dayang dynasty, the land of China, between the righteous and evil ways, and finish telling it completely!
Besides, there is nothing else to wish for.
