started to code words, and Yue Qingyan found another pitfall that started completely from scratch: the input method was also emptied.

The input method is not only an input method, but also a microcosm of the author's long-term writing and input habits. Needless to say, character names and the like, each work is different, and it was meant to be replaced. But some habitual input habits, how some small language features are input, are saved in the background of the input method with years of use. The original Sogou input method used by Yue Qingyan,I started using this input method on the second day after it was launched,There are too many accumulated data and habits。

After reinstalling the input method, the efficiency is not even half of the original.

On the way home, Yue Qingyan had already roughly typed the framework of the work in his mind, and estimated that it was a large novella of 5 to 80,000 words.

In the field of literature, it was customary to call short stories of less than 30,000 words, 3 to 100,000 words were considered novellas, and more than 100,000 words were considered long stories. But the most common novella is actually between 3 and 50,000 words, and if it will inevitably exceed 60,000 words, it is better to simply write 100,000 words and make a long one.

This is closely related to the publishing conditions of the novel at its peak. A short story of 10,000 words and a novella of tens of thousands of words are more convenient to publish in magazines. Once it exceeds 50,000 words, it will take up too much space and it will be difficult to arrange. As for novels, each issue contains about 10,000 words, and hundreds of thousands of words are serialized for exactly one year. The author is worry-free and the magazine is convenient, and everyone is happy. However, with the commercialization, prosperity and decline of the publishing industry, as well as the continuous impact of new media and new media, this classification has long been completely inapplicable.

If a novel can be written between 5 and 80,000 words, then its ideal word count must be around 60,000 words. Because it can perfectly match the layout requirements of light novels. The small book is of moderate thickness, the publishing cost is not high, it is very light and comfortable to hold in the hand, and it is suitable for carrying around for low-pressure reading. If there are too many words, you can't print it like this, it's awkward to hold it in your hand, it's too little, and the publishing cost can't be controlled. Anyway, in an era when print media and print publishing are in decline, the criteria for planning the number of words in writing in the entire literary creative world are also changing at any time.

Yue Qingyan is currently writing this, and he is ready to work hard to control it above 60,000 words and below 65,000 words. He is not a famous author, and he does not need to think about the length of the preface and interpretation. It doesn't really take many pages anyway. It's a standard light novel. But for a real light novel, this work seems a bit complex and heavy. It is written as a hazy and beautiful love story:

1,200 years ago, the comet fell, forming a lake, and then there was a small town on the lakeside. Years of reverence for comets and the sky have been lost in time, but some of the most basic rituals and customs have been retained, and the Miyasui Shrine in the town has been passed down from generation to generation. The shrine maiden Miyasui Futaba gave birth to two daughters, Miyasui Mitsuha and Miyasui Shiba, and died of illness, but the son-in-law of the shrine refused to inherit the shrine because of his powerlessness in the countryside, and instead devoted himself to politics and became the mayor of the town. Miyasui Mitsuha grew up in Imomori Town.,I'm not used to the conservative and slow atmosphere of the town.,Longing for life in Tokyo.。 He even sent out that he wanted to be a boy in Tokyo in his next life.

After 1,200 years, the comet is approaching the Earth again. And with the arrival of the comet,Miyasui Mitsuha found that he could suddenly exchange bodies with Tachibana Taki, a young man living in Tokyo.,The two experienced each other's lives.,And there was a lot of communication.。 Miyasui used Taki's body like a fish in water, and she couldn't date Miki Okuji, a senior who worked together, but she still exchanged it with Tachibana Taki. Tachibana Taki, slightly embarrassed, ended a day's date with Miki Okuji, and wanted to contact Mitsuha Miyamizu, but couldn't get through on the phone. Tachibana Taki uses his knowledge of the town to find Miyasui Sanha, only to find that the town has been destroyed by a comet three years ago.

It turned out that the one who exchanged bodies with Tachibana Taki was Miyasui Sanye on the timeline three years ago. Miyasui even once traveled to Tokyo to look for Tachibana Taka, but three years ago, Tachibana Taki didn't know Mitsuha.

Tachibana Taki's trip to the town of Imomori and drank the chewing wine left by Miyasui Sanye at the shrine's place of worship, and sure enough, he was able to start using Miyasui Mitsuha's body again. He gathered his friends in the village to find a way to evacuate the villagers, blew up the substation, and then used emergency tactics to get the villagers to go to the school to concentrate and force the comet out of the comad's damage range.

Tachibana Taki, using the body of Miyasui Sanye, thought of his actions three years later, went to the place of worship, and took advantage of the alternating moment of morning and dusk to change his body back. The two met across a three-year timeline, and in order not to forget each other, they wrote each other's names under each other's hands. But without finishing it, the timeline was restored, and although the two read each other's names repeatedly, they couldn't remember them at all after a slight turn of thought.

Sanye persuaded the mayor's father to believe in him.,Saved the entire villagers who were guarding the town.。 She survived herself.

After Taki rescued the town of Imomori on the timeline three years ago, although he didn't know why, Tachibana Taki was extremely interested in the story of the town and the comet, and he has been paying attention to it.

After another five years, Tachibana Taki became a young man looking for a job. He felt like he was always looking for something, who he was looking for, but he couldn't be sure.

Until one day, Tachibana Taki and Miyasui Mitsuha were on two trams and saw each other through the window. They immediately got off the train at the next stop and looked for where each other might be. On one of the steps, the two met. They also felt timid and embarrassed, obviously familiar enough, but they didn't remember each other at all. But after the wrong pass,Tachibana Taki still turned around and asked Miyasui Sanye:Where do I seem to have seen you?Miyasui Sanye replied:Me too。

Then, the two asked each other in unison: What is your name......

This is the animated film "Your Name. Yue Qingyan had watched the movie before, although he knew that there was a novel, but unfortunately, he hadn't seen it. He originally wanted to write a story with a Chinese background, but if you think about it, forget it. The cultural background, the way of thinking, the logic of the characters' actions, and their personality traits are all too Japanese, and it takes a lot of work to really change the background of the story than to rewrite a novel. Although the story of RB's background probably didn't expect to be sold, it was enough to satisfy Yue Qingyan's inner touch.

Animated films, through pictures and shots, can provide a lot of information, but writing a novel can use too few resources. Moreover, the male and female protagonists in the novel also have the content of swapping bodies, and in animated movies, body language and movements are enough to explain what the situation is, but writing a novel is not so cheap. Writing this story accurately, informatively, and clearly is a real challenge. Although it is a ready-made story, the work of planning the novel, writing the manuscript, and revising it again and again is extremely torturous. is also an estimated length of about 60,000 words, and Yue Qingyan spent three or four days typing the first draft to sort out the main line of the plot. Then I thought about it again and again to see how to write the story well. In the end, he took the most challenging method of writing: POV.

The POV method is an acronym for POINT OF VIEW IN ENGLISH. "A Song of Ice and Fire" is the most typical POV novel. Writing a story in the first person of each character, and then connecting them together to form a complete story that matches each other, requires a lot of control from the author, and a lot of depth of thinking and confirmation of the details in the novel. But this is indeed a relatively simple way to solve the novelization of "Your Name".

However, even if you write it in POV, you should not switch the perspective too often. Deletion, deletion and modification,From the first draft, in addition to Tachibana Taki and Miyasui Sanye, there are also six POV characters of Miki Okuji、Envoy Kawahara、Sayaka Natori、Grandma Miyazuzuha、Sister Miyazu-Shiba、Father Miyasui Toshiki Six POV characters were transferred to the end only Miyasui Sanye、Tachibana Taki、Miyasui Shiye、Miyasui Toshiki、Envoy Kawahara and Okuji Miki Six POV characters,Tell the story clearly and clearly.。 There is some overlap between the story and the story paragraphs, showing the perspectives of the different characters, but it also maintains a sense of continuity when reading the novel, so that it does not deviate from the main story line because of the change of perspective. It can be said that the problem of the presentation of the story is well solved, and Yue Qingyan is very satisfied.

When you're done writing the last line, press enter. Yue Qingyan went back to the beginning and read it in its entirety:

"When I wake up in the morning, I don't know why I'm crying, things like that happen every now and then.

I obviously had a dream, but I always couldn't remember it, but I felt that something had disappeared. This feeling lasts long after waking up.

I've been looking for something, looking for someone.

I was bothered by this feeling, probably from that day. The day the comet fell.

It was like a dream scene. At that moment, I just felt so beautiful. ”

The beginning of the novel is like this, which is basically the line at the very beginning of the animated movie. But later on, it becomes more and more gentle and free. After Yue Qingyan finished writing, he felt that he had benefited a lot from the whole process. Then at this time, he suddenly realized that 9 days had passed. Writing a complete story of 60,000 words in 9 days is already very efficient. But looking at the various things piled up in the room, Yue Qingyan suddenly realized that he had completely lost his mind in the past few days, and all his brain power was in the novel. When the express comes, I just take it and throw it on the porch, and when I am hungry, I order a takeout, and the takeaway is too noisy, and sometimes I haven't found it when I deliver it late...... Obviously, it is not possible to eat three meals a day. When you feel unwell, you go into the bathroom to take a shower. I was so tired that I couldn't go to bed until I couldn't do it.

Yue Qingyan felt that he had obviously lost weight. Is my concentration level at this level now? I couldn't do that before.

When Yue Qingyan began to clean up the room, Faust knocked on the door, and then passed through the door and entered the room without waiting for Yue Qingyan to respond.

Faust looked at the messy room and said, "Congratulations on writing your first story." Are you ready to draw skills?"

Yue Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. "Oh. That's right...... What can I draw?"

Faust said helplessly: "I don't know. The story of this genre has to wait for you to draw and play before you can analyze your skills...... Well, probably the main function of skill analysis is to anger you. ”

Yue Qingyan was stunned for a moment, sighed, and said, "Okay, how about love." ”

Faust's hand reached into the computer screen, and when he took it out, he already held a book "Your Name" that had been typeset and printed, but the cover was still pure white. The signature is Yue Qingyan. Faust said, "Do you want to change your pen name? Of course, it doesn't affect the book in my hand. ”

Yue Qingyan's reaction was: "How can you still typeset and print it out for free? ”

Faust looked at Yue Qingyan's attention and said, "Alas, you can think about it later." But printing a book for you is also a ritual for you to acquire skills. As he spoke, Faust spread out the book, took out a golden card sandwiched in the book, and handed it to Yue Qingyan.

Yue Qingyan was a little nervous. The moment his hand touched the card, it turned into countless golden dots of light and merged into his body.

Faust said, "After you finish writing the story, you can draw skills by silently." I don't have to be there. ”

And Yue Qingyan's attention will obviously not be on Faust at this moment. The skill description had come to his mind very clearly:

Skill: Chewing wine.

Source Character: Miyasui Sanhover

Initiation Ceremony: Dance of the Shrine Maiden. (Auto-get: Boot Status)

Launch Item: Meter.

Instructions: After completing the Dance of the Shrine Maiden, chew the rice grains and place them in a sealed vessel. After thirty days, chewing wine is formed. Those who take chewing alcohol will enter the abilities' memories, dreams, or fantasies within four hours. This can be determined at the time of making the chewing wine and cannot be changed. Only one serving of chewing wine can be made and kept at a time. Crafting a new chew will override the previous spawn of that ability.

Yue Qingyan was almost scolding. Why is it such a bad skill? This skill is useless? It doesn't make any sense at all? Why does he want others to enter his memories or dreams or fantasies? Even if there are such close and trusted people in the future, it will be a long time in the future. Does this skill help him a dime now?

But no matter how he looked at Faust, the effect that had already taken place would not change. Yue Qingyan said angrily, "Then what other skills do you have?"

Faust gestured to the computer screen. It seems that there is already mysterious software that has marked the full text of "Your Name", about skills.

After a slight sweep, Yue Qingyan saw "Tachibana Taki - hand-painted", "Envoy Kawahara - Blasting", "Natori Sayaka - Foley", "Okuji Miki - Junior Coffee Making", "Miyasui Sanye - Knotted Rope", ...... Each one is more useful than this "chewing wine".

All right. I was mentally prepared. Yue Qingyan could only tell himself this.
