Chapter 7 Writing a Novel

At night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Uh-oh......"

When he woke up, Xia stretched out for a long time, feeling that he didn't feel sleepy, so he turned over from the bed and sat up.

He turned his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall, "Is it half past seven?"

Sensing the time, a bout of hunger ensues.

"I'm so hungry. ”

He muttered and walked into the living room, turning on the light in the dark, the incandescent light was blinding, and he couldn't help but squint.

At this time, there was a sudden vibration sound on the table, Xia You walked over to look, and found that it was a new email from the mobile phone.

"Huh?"

He picked up his phone and watched it while taking a glass of water.

The email was sent by Ayase, and it was only written with a few lines on it, basically telling him to eat well, and that there was a noon meal left in the refrigerator, and he could eat it after heating it up a little.

"Ah, I forgot. ”

After reading the email, Xia You remembered.

After lunch today, Ayase received a temporary job notice.

It seems that something happened to the other models, so the office had to temporarily find someone to replace her, and Ayase, who had no work reservations for the past two days, was approached.

Ayase is sorry for this.

Because on weekends, she usually cooks for Xia You, and once she gets busy, she probably won't be free to come here in the past two days.

Originally, at noon, Ayase was going to make some bento before leaving, but Xia You refused, he didn't waste firewood to the extent that he had to ask his sister to cook for him, so he really couldn't go out to eat.

After he said this, Ayase didn't insist anymore.

Because there is really not enough time, if she doesn't hurry up to catch the tram, she won't be able to catch up with the shooting.

As a result, as soon as Ayase left, Xia Yu went back to bed, and since he barely slept last night, he slept from the afternoon to the present in one go.

"Huh, and the attachments?"

Xia You clicked on the attachment, and it turned out to be a photo.

In the photo, Ayase smiled cutely, and gestured to the camera, and there happened to be a few staff members in the background.

"Are you still filming at this time......?"

Xia You muttered and saved the photo.

Then he sent an e-mail and told Ayase to hurry home after work, and if it was too late, it was best to ask the family to come and pick her up.

After sending the email, he put his phone back on the table, opened the refrigerator, took out the top layer of food wrapped in plastic wrap, heated it, and the dinner was settled.

After eating and taking a shower, Xia You sat down at the table and began to think.

In his previous life, after his hands were burned and his parents died for some reason, he became very decadent and felt that many things were dispensable, and the reason why he went to college was only because it was what his parents asked him to do during his lifetime, not out of his original wish.

Xia You, who didn't study from the beginning, didn't learn anything in the end, so he hurriedly finished four years of college.

Then there is living alone, living in a state of confusion.

He is also deeply aware of this, but he is tired of changing, and he feels that there is no need to change, after all, who does he want to change to?

But now that he has lived a new life, no matter what, Xia You doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past and be as bad as in the past.

So, the first thing to do is to find something to do and not give yourself an excuse to do nothing.

In the morning, Natsuyu had already asked Ayase to contact Miss Nishikino, but only after making a phone call did she realize that she had already traveled abroad and would not be back until next Wednesday.

In other words, if you have an interview about a part-time job, you have to wait a few more days.

Xia You is not too worried about this, if he can't talk about it at that time, he will find other part-time jobs, he is confident in his piano skills, and he will not be ashamed to play wherever he goes.

However, part-time work is not a long-term solution.

No matter how many part-time jobs Xia Yu takes, the estimated amount of money he earns is not as good as Ayase's income as a model for a month, after all, the salary of ordinary gig workers is quite limited.

So he wanted to find a job that he could do for a long time.

"But what should I do?"

Xia You pondered slightly.

In the previous life, Japan gave people the strongest impression of the second dimension, and this world is even better, and animation can be called the hottest industry in Japan at present.

And after this day's investigation, Xia You has been convinced that the works he is familiar with basically do not exist in this world, and only a few remain, but they are a minority after all.

Then, the aspects that he should prioritize are obvious.

That's right, it's anime!

You must know that Xia You was a heavy house in his previous life, and if you want to ask him what he knows best, there is no doubt that it is the second dimension.

It is ridiculous to waste time on other things with such prerequisites, and it is not necessarily fruitful.

Thinking like this, Xia You locked his eyes on the second dimension.

As for what exactly to do, he already had an idea.

The scope of anime ACGN is very wide, and it is divided into four categories: animation, manga, games, and novels.

Among these four categories, the most suitable choice for Xia Yu is naturally novels, followed by comics.

Because he was an Internet writer in his previous life, he couldn't be more familiar with codewords.

And Xia You also has certain painting skills.

He has drawn illustrations for many people, and has also tried to submit articles on some domestic comic platforms.

Although he basically died halfway through, Xia You was too lazy to continue to conceive the plot halfway through the drawing, and then chose to give up, but he still has the experience of drawing comics.

Not......

So should you choose a novel or a comic?

Xia You hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind, it is better to write a novel first, after all, compared to his comic skills, his proficiency in novels is undoubtedly much higher.

And novels can be done by one person, but comics are difficult to do.

In the process of drawing comics, a series of operations such as storyboarding, line drawing, blacking, coloring, and dimming are very challenging for people's energy.

It is difficult to produce a high-quality manuscript on a single person, and even if it is perfect, it will take far more time and energy than writing a novel.

Thinking about it this way, drawing comics or something, it's really better to slow down first.

If he had the chance, Xia You wouldn't mind trying it.

Or you can cooperate with others, find a skilled painter, and then Xia You will be the original, which is also a good choice.

After all, it's rare to travel into such a world, and he is quite unwilling not to get out the comics he liked in his previous life.

But that's another story.

"Okay, then it's time to write a novel. ”

Xia You made up his mind.

Since he is now in Japan, it is naturally impossible to write the same online novels as before.

Not to mention whether the style is suitable or not, just talking about the update mode of 10,000 words a day also makes Xia You unbearable.

After thinking about it, Xia You still thinks it's good to write light novels, at least in the few years he has been at home, he has read a lot of light novels, and he doesn't need to think too much about writing them, just copy the setting plot of the original book.

And the number of words in a light novel is generally maintained at about 100,000 words, even if it is a long-form series, it only adds up to more than a million words, unlike online novels that often cost millions of words, so Xia You's imitation will be easier to write.

"But...... Which novel are you going to write?"

Xia You groaned.

He actually has a lot of choices, and many of the light novels I've read before are very popular works, and their strength is beyond doubt, such as 'Sword Art Online', 'Monogatari series', 'Demon Forbidden' and so on.......

But Xia You still felt that it was necessary to look it up online to see which types of light novels were more popular, and then choose one of the works he had read.

If there is a way to prescribe the right medicine, it will be easier for works that cater to the mainstream to succeed.

Of course, this doesn't have to be the case.

Some works have gone beyond the mainstream and have gone on to great success, such as "Wolves and Spices".

Unlike the usual fantasy novels with the theme of swords and sorcery, it focuses on the journey of a businessman and a cute wolf, and its ingenious style also makes this book stand out from many light novels and become a very classic hit.

All in all, writing is quite a mystical thing.

Sometimes whether a book can be popular or not, in addition to the quality of the work itself, luck also accounts for a certain proportion.

Immediately, Xia You simply took out his mobile phone and began to search for light novels in recent years.
