101 On Writing (15) "How to Avoid Scattered Plots"

14- 101st rejection 13:05:08

I had another epiphany just now, and I wrote it out to share it with you

Honest and reliable Xiao Langjun 13:05:40

Good

14 - 101st rejection 13:06:06

I suddenly recalled the 3 street books I had written, it seems that YY is not compact enough after more than 100,000 words, and there are many characters and many things, and the protagonist has no main line

It's usually a change of map into a big school.,In order to write intricate contradictions,I added several characters.,There are grievances and entanglements between them.,And then interact with the protagonist.,The plot is very complicated.

Andersen 13:07:13

Fuck, how do you look like you're talking about me

14-101st rejection 13:07:25

A lot of people have this problem

At this time, the more I wrote, the more confused I became, and with my bad grades, I had the heart of a eunuch

How to break it? I suddenly had an epiphany

14 - 101st rejection 13:08:44

In the past, every time I opened a new book, I repeatedly warned myself that I couldn't complicate the plot, otherwise I wouldn't be able to control it, but every time I wrote it, I forgot it

Andersen 13:09:02

I'm now poking one gut at a time.,I'll write that the protagonist is awesome to upgrade.,Hit one by one, kill one.,And then the characters that appear in front of you.,Set to appear later.。 Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Treasure again, kill again

14-101st rejection 13:09:18

I suddenly have a solution, I just turned out mortals, mortals are a kind of book with a complicated plot

Dawn 13:09:30

There is also immortal rebellion

14- 101st rejection 13:09:47

I pay attention to its plot, what is a certain paragraph, and why does the protagonist do it?

I've found that the main characters are all level-up and profit-oriented

In other words, if you add a character and do one thing, what benefit will the protagonist get in the end?

14-101st rejection 13:11:05

Only if it conforms to this logic, the plot will not be scattered

Dawn 13:11:18

Well, this is considered a cool point, that is, the protagonist should bring out a cool point if there is no plot

14-101st rejection 13:11:38

Well, simply put, you can't write an irrelevant plot

Dawn 13:11:44

Well

14 - 101st rejection 13:11:49

This has nothing to do with it, but you can't let the protagonist benefit right away

Dawn 13:11:50

Oh, yes

Well

14-101st rejection 13:12:06

I flipped to the section where Han Li entered the Yellow Maple Valley again

Andersen 13:12:07

Enlightened ...

14-101st rejection 13:12:36

As a reader, what I was looking forward to the most at that time was to see how Han Li took the vial and the talisman treasure to get the Tsukidan

If the author didn't write that Han Li went to the medicine garden, but was arrested and sent to do some kind of hard labor, grinding and chirping for a long time without any development, the reader would definitely be annoyed

Andersen 13:13:10

First of all, I wrote about how difficult it was to build Kidanshi

Dawn 13:13:22

Well

14- 101st rejection 13:13:27

Han Li went to the Medicine Garden, and this was the most useful plot

The reader wants to see this, and the author arranges this

Dawn 13:13:42

It gives people a sense of anticipation

14- 101st rejection 13:14:02

If Han Li went to refine the weapon, or joined some kind of escort team, the small bottle would be left behind, which would be equivalent to useless YY

Andersen 13:14:11

To think of it this way, where is the best place for the protagonist to cast when you get the bottle?

14- 101st rejection 13:14:18

Yes

So don't look at mortals slow heat

Andersen 13:14:30

There is only Yaoyuan, which can be seen that the author has already thought about it

14-101st rejection 13:14:36

There is basically nothing useless in his plot

Dawn 13:14:46

Therefore, it is only right that the plot is to assist the development of Goldfinger

14 - 101st rejection 13:14:54

What plot should be given, the author will give, which is very accurate

After eating through the plot arrangement of mortals, the second step is to analyze one of his own street books

14- 101st rejection 13:16:01

If you design a certain link now, how can you be cooler faster?

Dawn 13:16:21

Well

14- 101st rejection 13:16:36

After sharing my experience, I have to continue to analyze

Dawn 13:16:50

Hehe, thanks for sharing, benefit

14-101st rejection 13:16:57

What I said, it's suitable for the kind of students whose plot is around, scattered, and YY is not compact

Andersen 13:17:00

Enlightened, enlightened...

Introduce me to the one who made the cover.

14- 101st rejection 13:17:20

If the number of words is too large and it is easy to write down, you can also refer to it

DJ13:21:08

Deli Fabei

14-101st rejection 13:22:25

profits, as well as following the hole cards in the protagonist's hand to design the plot

For example, if you know a cow man at work, it will help you develop, and the following plot is to quickly use this cow man to develop

DJ13:23:03

yes

14- 101st rejection 13:23:13

If you give up this cow man and run to ink with unrelated people, others won't like to read it

DJ13:23:23

Right

14- 101st rejection 13:27:18

Therefore, it is very important to divide the plot outline, write and draw on paper with a pen before opening a new plot, how do the new characters and plots help the protagonist to benefit?What challenges are designed, what hole cards do the protagonists use?What is the final harvest?

After the design is written, the plot will not be dispersed.

-------------------

In the end, a few articles are summarized, so as not to collapse the plot:

1. The principle of the protagonist's profit. It must always be remembered that the protagonist must benefit from each challenge, and that every character or plot must serve the protagonist's benefit.

2. The protagonist's troubles are solved one by one. It is not recommended to add another one if the trouble is not solved.

3. The initial characters should be few, 2-3 is better, the plot should be simple, and it is best to have a single main line, so as not to have many characters, complex plots, and out of control. If you find signs that you are going to get out of control, then let the inconsequential person take the boxed lunch.

4. The protagonist's wishes should be set in stages, whether the protagonist gains or grows in strength, and in the end it is necessary to serve his personal wishes.

5. Accurately grasp the reader's expectations, and do not write the plot that the reader does not want to see. For example, in the early days of mortals, stories were written around the small bottle and Tsukidan.

6. The above guidelines are best outlined in the front of the pen, so that you know in your heart, what are the wishes, challenges, gains, cool points, etc. of the protagonist of this plot?
