This book has been conceived since June last year (2015), and it was originally intended to be released soon, but due to the difficulty of the plot and the disconnection of the Internet at home, it has not been released. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I've actually written some things to you during this time, and I want to show them to you now.

A letter to readers

When I first started writing this, I imagined a picture of a group of people trapped in the rain surrounded by barbed wire, some sad, some in pain, some helpless, and some protesting to escape......

I feel that this image is good, and this image has been reproduced in my mind many times. It will not be forgotten for a long time.

I thought I might write it as a novel (2015.5), and I finally decided to start writing it in June.

At first, I wanted to write the Hunger Games series, and I thought about the name "The Hunger Games: Survivors", but it was later denied.

I don't feel like I'm writing about The Hunger Games, where there is no exploitation and oppression between the characters, no poaching and starvation, no cruel punishment, no Capites, no Thirteen Districts, Hunting Games......

Originally, I wanted it to be like The Hunger Games, but when I thought about the theme over and over again, I felt that it wasn't what I wanted. Later, I kept everything simple, saying that in the future, there will be a ridiculous organization, arresting people for survival experiments and so on.

It's really tangled, I can't write, and it's not easy to write. I just wrote that picture first.

I wrote more than 3,000 words in the first month. Changed it repeatedly, or even rewritten twice.

And the doctrine I insist on is that the beginning must be written well, and as a result, others will say that they feel like there is no beginning, and then there will be a big organization of the century.

After a long struggle, I finally decided to change to the first person yesterday (2015.9.10). (Mainly, I think it's embarrassing to always write "me") Seriously, it feels weird not to change it to the first person, and the heroine has few plots, especially because she doesn't like to talk, and it feels very bad. (Of course, changing to the first person is not just a simple change of Minoan to "I", but the thoughts of the characters in many places have to be changed.) It's almost rewritten, more than 30,000 words)

I've worked hard to write it, and I hope you enjoy it. (In order to improve the quality, I stopped the plot development many times, and I read a lot of good novels.) ）

Originally, my writing was not good, (just look at "Mystery and the Stars" I wrote last June, it's really ...... It's bad to a certain extent, but I still like the name) Although this year, my writing has improved to a certain extent, and I have matured a little in terms of thinking, but the plot must have a lot of shortcomings, please put it forward, and I will try my best to revise it.

A letter to readers2

Today (2015.9.25 night), when I saw the beginning of "Don't Starve", I suddenly felt a little panic, a trace of doubt, and a trace of panic......

At first, I wanted to write the "Hunger Games" series, and I used the first person, similar character feelings. The wedge of more than 1,000 words had been discarded before, but when I saw it again today, I suddenly felt that "Don't Starve" went against the original idea.

"Famine" was originally intended to be titled "Famine", but felt that the scope of "Famine" was too wide, so it was changed to "Famine" in order to limit it......

The current plot is incompatible with the previous one, and it's impossible to blend in to ease the current plot. So I had a bold idea - to add a volume, to finish the writing in a special form, and to put it on the proposition: rebirth (dream).

Hopefully it will be successful.

I really feel that the first volume is too little, it seems that it is less than 50,000 words (not finished yet) (2015.9.26). Alas, it was originally the section of the forest in the north (chapters 3~7), but during that time (early August) I was reading "Resident Evil", and I felt that compared to "Resident Evil", my novel had no tension and fighting at all (although there was no one after the change), it was too bland.

And then I wrote that paragraph. After that, I felt like I could have written a lot in the first volume! Because the heroines have written so much about their experiences in one time, then plus other people's and other times, isn't it a lot!

To be honest, I didn't really like Resident Evil, I felt that its plot was too monolithic, and I didn't want my novel to be like that, so I didn't write it that way.

Alas, I used to think that books like "Phantom City" would have more than 100,000 words, but last week I learned that all of them were 300,000 or 400,000...... I felt a deep sense of fear...... My novel will only be more than 100,000 words if it goes on like this, and if I don't buy it out (of course, if I can buy it out), I won't even be able to put it on the shelves, and no one will read it......

Alas, really, I hope you enjoy this novel, it was really written to the best of my ability (changed many times)!

Damn, I just found out that "Phantom City" is indeed more than 100,000 words! The last time I copied it into the little black room, it showed 340,000 words!

feel

The feelings that this novel originally wanted to express have not changed, but now after writing the "end", I suddenly feel that the theme of this book is not only the hateful strong, but also the weak who do not resist, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, there has been no real resistance.

Perhaps, this whole novel is all negative characters, all negative teaching materials, warning us: the weak die, the fool dies, the desire dies, the unprepared, the visionary, and the uncontrolled......

The language of this novel is pale, and the characters are ridiculously sad, but the reason why I still write is because I want to denounce the wrongdoers and make people stop being alone.

Take notes as you like

Today (2016.1.2) decided to rewrite the first volume.

It seems that my work does take time to grind over and over again, and there is nothing wrong with telling myself to be calm and patient.

I changed the first two or three chapters, and found that there was nothing to change, alas, sadly.

When I saw Xingjian and Luo Xiao, I suddenly felt sympathy for their innocence. Perhaps, the first volume will be greatly changed after the revision, so I would like to clarify it for them in a later chapter.

Thinking of this, thinking of what Guo Jingming said in the afterword of "The Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived", while writing the story, we have grown up and no longer care so much.

Now think about the original intention of writing "Famine", how ridiculous, just being scolded for no reason, I want to use the whole book to show the truth of "the more diligent you do, the faster you die" and "the brain is not good". Now, after more than half a year, my thoughts have become much more sleek.

I'm getting better and better.

grow

Not long ago, I decided to rewrite "Don't Starveland" and had the idea of changing the name of "Don't Starveland", how about "Lonely 3145"?

"Hungry Lands" expresses something too one-sided, just a few of my many thoughts. The whole idea seemed so weak and so weak.

I've never liked it very much.

But in the past six months, I have not been able to break through the limitations of my ideas and have the courage to write. I was afraid to write it. Maybe it's because the mind is not mature enough.

Guo Jingming's "Critical Traces", the maturity of Trea and Gilgamesh, I can't seem to show it anyway.

It doesn't matter much, though.

I wish I could form my own style with Don't Starve. From then on, I became a different version of myself.

Come on.

That's all I wrote to you during the internet outage. Because the computer has no network, I can only use the computer to write scripts, listen to songs, and when I first disconnected from the Internet, I rummaged through the computer memory, and then I have been dreaming that there is an Internet, but it is also a nightmare. I don't have a mobile phone myself, so I can only secretly use my parents' mobile phones to download some novels and then upload them to the computer to read, but the number is very small. Because I went to school, I only had half a day to a day a week to read novels (in fact, it was only a few hours), and I had to write manuscripts during this time. That time was worse than it is now. So, cherish the time you have online!
