In the high-level universe of Tianxin, in the secret conference room of the Plane Grandfather's Guild, some voices came faintly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Now we are eighty percent sure that President Tang's 'Origin World Conjecture' is correct. Alas...... Compared to the highest-level 'real universe', what is our high-level universe! ”

"yes. Even the main god space is just a projection of the breadth and depth of a certain work, or even a series of literary works. Needless to say, our Plane Grandfather's Guild is also one of its projections. But what exactly is the projection, we don't know yet. ”

"This news is very confidential and it is important to prevent it from leaking. At present, the main god space, the plane protagonist federation and other organizations are not aware of our latest discovery, but some people within our organization already know about this situation. In any case, it can last as long as it can! ”

"Director Zheng, what you said is reasonable. Now it can be basically confirmed that this 'origin world', that is, 'reality', does exist, there is no doubt about this. And the cosmic level of the 'Origin World' is very likely to be even higher than we imagined. What the so-called 'top universe' is, we can only make some rough guesses based on where we are located. ”

"As we all know, the plane laws of the middle-level universe are dozens of times stronger than the plane laws of the low-level universe. However, the plane laws of the high-level universe are hundreds of times tougher than the same type of objects in the low-level universe. The 'Heavenly Heart' high-level universe where our guild is located is much larger and more potential than ordinary high-level universes. ”

"That being the case, we are bound to be able to conclude that the hierarchy gap between the entire universe is rising exponentially...... In that case, the power of this 'Origin World' can be described as ......."

The whole conference room seemed to be silent for five or six minutes, and there was not the slightest sound.

After a long while, the voice continued to sound.

"Meet, I can draw some conclusions by summarizing the words of my colleagues. This 'Origin World' should be an extremely forbidden demon, that is, a place where no 'unrealistic' power can be used, or it is almost impossible to exert it, even if someone who came to the 'Origin World' has extraordinary power in the original high-level universe. ”

"Corresponding to 'Extreme Forbidden Demon', what is that? Presumably all my colleagues know that I, Tang San, don't have to waste much effort. It must be a low-level plane. No matter what its plane level is, even if it is top-level, or even higher than the top-level, its technological level must be in the low-level sequence. ”

"To put it simply, that means that its ability to navigate the universe can only move freely in the star system to which it belongs, and it has not yet mastered the skills of solar sails, ultra-distant engines, and light-speed propulsion. Note that even if it is not technologically advanced, we should not take it lightly. Although many of you here have the ability to create the world, when you go to 'reality', you will not even be as good as an ordinary person! ”

"President Tang is really insightful. I also have a few points to make. According to the data we have at our disposal, there should be many regimes in this 'origin world', which have not yet been unified. This is determined by the projection environment around us. According to reasoning, one of the Eastern regimes had a strong position. ”

"This Eastern regime has had many representative names in the projections of different technological planes, in the projections that are closest to its real condition. For example, 'Tang People's Republic', 'Tang Republic of China', 'Second Song Dynasty', 'Han Empire', 'Han Republic of China', 'Republic of China' and so on. Removing the false and retaining the true, we can draw the following conclusions: "

"One of these names may be the real name of the 'Origin World,' or all of them may be fake. We have sent a number of advance teams to inquire about the situation, and we believe that we will soon be able to find some results. Now, two hundred years ago, one hundred and fifty years ago, no one has returned from the team that was sent out a hundred years ago, but we have some breakthroughs......"

The screen shifts back to Longkong Academy.

"Shoko the Camel Reborn"

Tang Zhu wrote this line on the manuscript paper again.

[According to the literary works of this so-called 'Republic of China' period, cut into the Republic of China, take the flow of history, and the road of military and political rejuvenation is a feasible method, although it is a bit vulgar......]

Recalling the accelerated education of the two teachers during the day, coupled with the summary of the materials in the database, Tang Zhu spent a whole night creating such a "novel" with all his heart.

What is a novel? Tang Zhu didn't know, and he hadn't seen it. Meet...... It seems that decades ago, there was a strange host who talked about this problem? Tang Zhu was a little annoyed, he didn't care about this problem at that time.

"Whew!"

Looking at the fruits of his overnight labor and the first draft of more than 20,000 words on the table, Tang Zhu sighed. If it weren't for the strict prohibition of the instructors, wouldn't it be much faster to create with divine souls?!

In the Longkong Comprehensive College building, in the 4229 class of the department, Qin Kai was already standing on the podium and began to speak endlessly.

“…… The opening entry point is attractive, the world view is novel, the hierarchy system is clear, the gold finger assists the upgrade, the 30,000-word small climax, the protagonist has a clear purpose, the main characters have a full personality, the language and behavior are consistent, the emotions are rendered in place, the style of writing is straightforward and popular, and the originality of the bridge is high, which can be reasonable and unexpected...... This is not only our crossing department, but also the most important place for us to pay attention to when creating words in the entire Longkong Academy. ”

"This is the fantasy text. Its development has reached a plateau, which many of our grandfathers have come to the conclusion after many dimensional missions. ”

"As a former genre hegemon, it is now declining. Gentlemen, please break the convention, or rely on rich practical experience and skills to work intensively, details determine success or failure, and write new ideas in the existing routines; Or take the non-mainstream route and focus on storytelling innovation! ”

"World Architecture:

1. From the low-martial world to the high-martial world. 2. Oriental background, don't mix things. It doesn't have to be an ancient background. 3. The hierarchy is strict and the force is supreme. 4. Use points and lines, lines to surfaces, the world background from small to large, gradually unfold in the text, do not pile up narrative text at the beginning. ”

"All of the above is what we have done when we actually carried out the mission. You've already had experience, and now you can do well with a little reminder from me. ”

"Hierarchy:

It is divided into two levels: large grades and small grades, the large grades have a clear logic, which can be distinguished from the strength and weakness simply in the literal sense, and the small grades are distinguished by numbers, divided into one to nine levels, and the number is unified. ”

"It's just casual play, in fact, who looks at your level? We are grandfathers, does that grade work? It's not who is strong and who is qualified to speak? ”

"Cfinger setting:

It can be a god-level cheats, it can be an encyclopedia with an old man, it can be a simple magic weapon or magic weapon, but its main function is to assist the protagonist's cultivation, and in terms of quality or quantity, the protagonist can gain a sense of superiority over his peers. ”

"Character setting:

The character of the protagonist, it is recommended to refer to the author himself, it is best to spread positive energy positively, it can be obscene and lustful, but it must be in line with universal values and cannot exceed the reader's moral bottom line. ”

"The words and deeds of the characters should be consistent with the setting, not too entangled and capricious, and focus on the most prominent point of the character that is easiest to control.

It is best for other characters to have a realistic template to refer to to prevent brain damage. ”

Tang Zhu listened below, and the students also showed a "thoughtful" attitude.

[This is similar to the layout of our mission.] It's just that one is reality and the other is words. But...... Which reality is the real reality? 】

Ignoring the thoughts in his head, Tang Zhu hurriedly recorded these things.

"The main story structure:

The length of the article is self-proposed, which varies from person to person, and can be set to 1.5 million words in the early stage, and the open-ended ending can be written later depending on the results. You don't need to ask too much about what is a sell-out, just think that the will of the plane likes your routine. You'll know when you pass the monthly exam. ”

"The first part, 80,000 words, 100,000 words.

Opening point:

The opening contradiction and suspense can be an encounter, it can be a bridge of great joy or great sorrow, try to be original, it is best to use dialogue to unfold, and the first sentence is to throw out suspense to attract readers. ”

"Isn't that what you're most used to doing? The actual combat routines should be simpler when they are converted into words. I'm just teaching you how to do it. ”

"Then bring out the identity of the protagonist and the relationship between the characters, aspire, clarify the goal of the protagonist, the golden finger appears, the golden finger tries the knife, the cultivation is upgraded, the opening contradiction is solved, and the scene in a corner of the world is brought out, the rules of the world, the length of 30,000 words, do not exceed!"

"Next, you can create a part for every 300,000 words. Tang Zhu, it seems that you are ready to finish this book with 600,000 words? Then you can have 150,000 words for each part. ”

Qin Kai smiled at Tang Zhu, and Tang Zhu also responded with a smile.

Qin Kai looked at his watch, "Next, Professor Jiang from the Rebirth Department will give you a lecture." He's a giant of the game stream, and he also has a deep knowledge of the practice of converting text, so you need to listen to more advice. ”

During the short break, Tang Zhu kept thinking. What is the reason why this theoretical guidance should be carried out in the form of literary creation? Just to save resources, to save effort?

Unknown.

A middle-aged man who looked a little elegant walked in. He put on his gold-rimmed glasses and flipped through the memo.

"The game genre, also known as online games, refers to novels that describe the player's gaming career and game experience."

"This is a genre of fiction that is both realistic and fantasy at the same time, because the protagonist of the novel lives in a real city, but the characters he controls live in a bizarre virtual game.

"On the surface, this will be a very boring novel, because its content is nothing more than that when the protagonist plays the game, he fights a few monsters, gets some items, and then fights a few monsters, and the character is upgraded to a level...... How boring it must be to watch this kind of game played by others, and it is a text-only version with no pictures? Can't I play games on my own when I have that time? ”

The students below were all surprised, but they didn't expect this Teacher Jiang to give a lecture directly without introducing himself. However, listening to this content, it seems to really touch the deep resentment of the old grandfathers of the game stream against the will of the plane.

"However, the reality is that as soon as the online game genre appeared, it caused an unstoppable craze on the network of the 'origin world'. While several pioneering works have become popular with half the sky, they have also made countless readers shout "I still want it" and ask if there are similar works. And this has directly driven some clever authors to follow suit, and at the same time, there are many online game enthusiasts who really can't find new books to read, and they have also joined the ranks of authors. ”

"The explosion of online games is something that no one could have imagined in advance, and almost overnight, online game novels have blossomed everywhere. However, a large number of works have not caused fierce competition, and online game novels are almost a popular one, which is completely in short supply. At that time, the lists of several websites were almost all occupied by online game novels. ”

"It wasn't until the number of works in the online game genre has accumulated to a certain extent, the market tends to be saturated, and the official website suppresses it within a certain limit, that the online game genre gradually stepped down from the altar and restored its true nature as a special type for specific user groups."

"However, even so, online game novels are still a force to be reckoned with in online literature, and they are a very popular category in niche genres."

"When we look back, it is not too difficult to understand the sudden popularity of the online game genre, because online games, to a large extent, are interoperable with online novels, and they have many common characteristics and user needs."

"Comparing the concepts of the content elements of the two, we will find that in online games, upgrades, monsters, treasure drops, PK, treasure chests, teaming, dungeons, maps, leaderboards, levels, attributes, equipment, skills, ...... And so on, all of them can be found in the corresponding part of the web novel, so to speak, the web novel is the text embodiment of the online game, and the two are born sisters. ”

"Compared with the game, although the novel is slightly weaker in terms of substitution, randomness, and entertainment attributes, its biggest advantage is that it only needs to take care of the protagonist alone, and does not need to consider the overall fairness of the game."

"Therefore, the work can unscrupulously give the protagonist a golden finger, which can allow the protagonist to gain a huge growth advantage, sweep all directions, and meet the spiritual needs of readers to pursue refreshment to the greatest extent."

At the same time, the boring leveling process in the game can be adjusted in detail through detailed descriptions, but it focuses on the excitement of the protagonist's treasure hunting and prestige. This is also an important reason why many gamers will turn to reading online game novels when they are tired of playing. ”

"There is no doubt that among the various genres of online novels, online games are the closest to online games. This seems like nonsense, no matter how fantasy and Xianxia novels look like games, can there be online game novels that directly describe games? ”

"However, it is this nonsense that shows the essential reason why online game novels are suddenly popular, but they have returned to rationality - it throws away all covers, and in the most naked way, it shows the classic YY elements of upgrading and fighting monsters and PK stepping on people."

"Just imagine, a looming tulle woman, or a naked *** who is more attractive? I think there will be a choice between both. But undoubtedly, when ** first appeared in front of people's eyes, the shock caused can be imagined. And when everyone gets used to it, many people will think that it is nothing special, but they will occasionally take a look at it******** This is very similar to the change in popularity after the birth of online game novels. ”

"Although it has a huge genre advantage, after returning to rationality, the disadvantages of online games are also quickly reflected."

"In addition to the limited readership, the biggest weakness of online game novels is that readers clearly and clearly know that all this is illusory, and the achievements of the protagonist are in fact just a bunch of virtual data."

"Of course, many online game authors are also trying their best to make up for this congenital defect, try their best to exaggerate the impact of games on reality, and enhance the value of game equipment, so that the protagonist can also have considerable wealth in the real world."

However, due to the limitation of rationality, the protagonist of online game works is unlikely to be as rich as the protagonist of the business war category after all, and it is impossible for him to have immortal means like the protagonist of the Xianxia category. No matter how hard it is to get the achievements of the protagonist of an online game, readers will inevitably have disdainful thoughts such as "this is just a game after all". ”

"Overall, this is a genre with obvious strengths and weaknesses, and the genre popularity and author competition are moderate. In terms of writing difficulty, it can be said that the threshold is extremely low, but it is not easy to really write popular after getting started. ”

"For newcomers, this is a type worth trying, and whether you choose it or not depends purely on your mood."

['Origin World'? 】

This is the second time Tang Zhu has heard this word.

[The online game novel of the 'origin world'...... Online...... Web article? 】

Tang Zhu woke up suddenly. It seems that there was a host who had said something like this before?

……

Afternoon.

"Don't follow the trend", don't fix the truth, if it's popular, write the truth ╋ The Three Kingdoms are good-looking, and the Three Kingdoms will be written. ”

"Don't say 'me', it's not much to say, for all writers, writing in the first person is a big taboo."

"Avoid running accounts, the article is too simple, and there must be more dialogues, descriptions of the environment and descriptions of characters in the text."

"You can't plagiarize, at least you have to copy so that readers can't see that it's copied, and some people's works know that they are copied from someone else's plot at a glance."

"Don't write a book that is too short, don't write a book in a way that cheats clicks, and a chapter should be at least 3,000 words. What is CTR? You'll know when you pass the monthly exam. ”

"Don't be too verbose. It's okay to drag the play, but you have to have skills, and you can't drag it out indefinitely. Try your best to explain something useful and foreshadowing. Lengthen the length of the article on some texts, but don't force it if you don't have enough skills. It's not okay if the article is too short, and it's not okay if it's too long. Be moderate. ”

"Don't be too mixed. For example, science fiction works are better not to be combined with martial arts. Certain martial arts sci-fi comics are the most unsuccessful. Because they insist on balancing martial arts and sci-fi. You probably don't usually come into contact with human literature, but that's okay, you'll have the opportunity later. ”

"Every novel has its central theme, science fiction is science fiction, and martial arts can appear in it, but it plays a negligible role. Because it is science fiction as the theme, everything must be explained from a scientific point of view, not science and martial arts. ”

"Don't be superman, the most taboo thing in the article is to make the protagonist become a superman overnight, and the protagonist encounters adventures to get unexpected abilities, which can. But if you get super power overnight, and the power after the fact is not strong, how do you write to the end? ”

"If there are too many names, readers will not have the patience to memorize the names of the places you have listed, so they can only explain them slowly in the article and digest them slowly for the readers. If the author is in too much of a hurry, it will only make the reader dizzy and turn into a running account. ”

"Don't list. The theme setting is always for yourself, don't force it in the article. Readers are not interested in looking at your premise. Doing so is like telling the end of a book in advance, which makes people lose the taste of reading. ”

"Don't be nicknamed, as an author, try your best to stand in a neutral position to read and write. So in the article, please don't write the full name of the character and call her Xiao XX in order to save trouble. The article must give a neutral, cold feeling. ”

"And the name is a title that replaces a name for the sense of closeness between relatives and friends, and I have never seen someone with good writing use these nicknames instead of the character's name. You are the author, what are you doing with your own character? ””

"Don't mess up the relationship between the top and bottom. There are a lot of works. The protagonists are trying their best to build relationships with the characters around them. For example, what does the protagonist say when he orders his big brother next to him to go to something? ”

"Brother so-and-so, go and help me knock down Shishi."

"Instead of, 'So-and-so listens to the order and beats XXX down for me!'"

"Public and private cannot be made clear, the relationship between the upper and lower levels is chaotic, which army in the world do you think will use this tone when fighting and in the workplace?! This can only show the author's lack of practical experience! In which plane did you see someone talking like that? ”

"This is the ten taboos of the work, don't pay attention! Class! ”

……

Another lesson.

Furnace system.

Tang Zhu was skipping class.

From top to bottom, there are five important points of characterization, "hair", "eyes", "clothes", "skin", and "hands". ”

"First of all, hair. How to describe the hair of a beggar and the hair of a queen? The beggar's hair must have been dirty and messy. For example, unkempt hair looks like a chicken nest, sticking together in locks. ”

"And the queen's hair must be a phoenix crown, a ring, a lot. Therefore, it is not enough to describe 'smooth black hair like a waterfall, like silk, hanging down naturally.' 'That's it. ”

"First of all, the queen should not be so simple, the novel is clear and clear, and it is best to be able to let the reader be able to imagine what the queen looks like in their minds after reading it."

"For example, she is extremely noble and looks dignified and virtuous. The hair is soft and smooth, and a few jade hairpins are intertwined with the black hair, which is more dazzling in the sun. ”

"And this 'waist-length smooth long hair is half fixed with a noble and gorgeous phoenix crown, several hostas are inserted diagonally into the black hair, and the rest of the long hair is scattered around the waist.' The waist and waist are slightly repetitive, and it will look more tiring. Therefore, it is recommended that there should not be too many similar words in a paragraph. ”

"And this," pink rose-scented tight-fitting robe sleeve top, covered with emerald green smoke yarn loose flower skirt, tied into a big bow with gold silk soft smoke around the waist, sideburns hanging low and obliquely inserted jasper and phoenix hairpins, showing a slender and demonic charm that seduces people's souls. ”

"It's a bit like reading a Dream of Red Mansions, but we generally don't support writing like this, and it should be written simply and clearly, so that readers can understand it, after all, many readers are primary school students now. And modern words like bows are generally avoided in ancient sayings. ”

"It seems to me that all descriptions can be ignored, except for the eyes. It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, so the eyes play a very important role in expressing a person's emotions and personality. ”

"There are many metaphors for the eyes, such as transparent glass, dazzling stars, and so on. Generally, writing eyes will express the emotions of the characters. For example, her eyes are like ancient wells without a trace of waves, like a mirror reflecting my figure. ”

"And this one," the dark eyes seemed to be filled with monstrous anger, ready to erupt at any moment. "It's like you can actually put it in the back, in front at any time. Emotions have been written earlier, and next, another role of the eyes is to express temperament. For example, the hollow valley is indifferent, and cold as ice. ”

"The starry sky is not as bright as his eyes, and the fireworks are not as hot as his eyes." "It's good to be able to use the sentence structure of the analogy, the point is to be careful not to write into an essay, and the point is that the scorching and burning are a bit repetitive, so you should pay special attention to this when describing. For example, his eyes as bright as the night sky exude disdain and contempt, as if the whole world is like an ant in his eyes. ”

"To sum up, the eyes can express emotions, and temperament can use more rhetorical devices when describing the eyes, but be careful not to repeat words."

"Let's talk about clothes next, clothes are also linked to temperament and the identity of the role, what kind of people wear what kind of clothes, the emperor wears a dragon robe, and the commoners wear cloth clothes."

"There is also color, color can express a person's temperament and character, for example, black means sharp, white can mean warmth, can also indicate indifference. For example, he was dressed in a white robe, like falling snowflakes, dusty and cold. ”

"Then there is the skin, what kind of skin people will have in any environment, the young lady in the boudoir has a fair complexion, the farmers working in the fields have a dark complexion, and the soldiers on the battlefield are naturally scarred."

"So when you don't indicate the identity of the character, you can use the skin to implicitly express your identity. This sentence, "The scorching sunlight hit his dark face, revealing a slight flush." ”

"We should dredge up the logic, and the blush on the dark face should not be visible.

"The next thing is the hand, in martial arts novels, people who judge whether they practice martial arts generally look at the direction of the cocoon, and the shape of the hand can be round and jade, or it can be a clear joint. For example, her fingers are long and full, crystal clear. Generally, we use slender or slender characters to talk about the main character, because we want to beautify the image of the main character. ”

"In the end, we summarized everything, the protagonist can not be pretty, but must have a pair of beautiful eyes. When describing a character's appearance, the main purpose is generally to show temperament and emotion. Therefore, in the five key points mentioned above, we must work hard. ”

"If you want a water word count, you can do that, as long as you describe it beautifully enough. If the reader doesn't look boring, then you'll be successful. ”

Tang Zhu peeked at the beautiful female classmate in this class and sighed. Since entering the crossing department, I haven't even seen a sow, and I'm still a female classmate!

"Hair, eyes, clothes, skin, hands." Don't forget the five descriptive points mentioned today! ”

As soon as the solemn female teacher on the stage got off the stage, Tang Zhu took the opportunity to slip away and didn't dare to look back.

At night.

Longkong Cram School, night shift.

“…… Confusion of pronouns, such as writing that the protagonist will use the first person 'I' and the third person 'he'"

"2. There are too many characters in the opening chapter, and the protagonist has very few scenes, and I don't know who the protagonist is after reading three or four chapters.

”

"3. The background is chaotic, and all kinds of races are chaotic, such as fairies and demons, elves, dwarves, pirates, dwarves, etc., and the amount of information is not clear what to watch."

"4. The main and secondary are not clear, and you can't see the theme center, for example, two people fight at the beginning, and two or three chapters are written in a row, and every move and formula is written in great detail, and it is very tiring to watch too many fights."

“5 . The opening scene jumps frequently and excessively, resulting in unclear lines. ”

“6 . The story is not rigorous at all, and it is written too casually, such as a disciple of an inner sect in Xianmen can destroy the world with a wave of his hand. ”

“7 . Passage, rebirth possession of the text, at the beginning of the passage before the passage of a lot of things, into the theme is too slow. ”

“8 . The foreshadowing and foreshadowing at the beginning are too long, and the protagonist is not seen until three or four chapters later, and the previous events are not strongly related to the later plots, and there is a strong sense of irrigation. ”

“9 . There is no routine, and the contradictory relationship between cause and effect, and the story is patchworked. ”

“10 . The way of description is like poetry, the language is not straightforward and simple, obscure or even Chinese, and the reading is not fluent. ”

“11 . It's too literary, the story is bland, like a realistic high school student going to school and living, tending to be realistic but without any highlights, and still needs something yy. ”

“12 . The opening of the multi-protagonist does not have a prominent scene are average, I don't know who to look at, the opening multi-character must be written around one of the main ones. ”

"You people are all poor people who have not been accepted by the Longkong Comprehensive Academy, I don't discriminate against you, I have also made similar mistakes, I hope you will work hard! The era of great change in the guild is coming, and at that time, the whole world will be turned upside down! ”

[Sharpening knives is not a mistake for woodcutters, it is better for me to listen to more lectures and then start writing, which is more suitable. I have a hunch, isn't it true that this word evolves the world? Or is it just a text on our side of the world? 】

Tang Zhu suddenly felt that time was getting more and more pressed.

Longkong Elementary School, the first class of the second grade, Tang Zhutian sat with a group of children in their fifties and sixties with his face, listening to the speech of a young woman who was twenty-eight years old and only one hundred and sixty years old on the podium.

"Environmental description, when we describe the environment, it is these points that are specifically described: shape, sound, color, rhyme, and taste

The shape is the general outline of the environment you are describing, just like the outline of a novel, which only needs a skeleton. ”

"And sound, I think everyone knows what it is, refers to sound, which is used to supplement the environment."

Next, color is color, color is an important part of the description of the environment, if "shape" is the skeleton, then "color" is flesh and blood. ”

"Rhyme refers to the momentum of the environment described, which is very important, rhyme gives the environment aura, with rhyme, the environment can be vivid."

"And then there's a taste. Taste is sometimes dispensable, but sometimes it plays a big role, such as writing fantasy, sometimes you need taste. ”

"Environmental depictions are generally divided into natural environment and social environment, and the social environment is generally to reflect the characteristics of the society and the times in which the characters exist."

"We generally describe the natural environment, so we focus on the natural environment, and some people have said that in the novel, the description accounts for three parts, the content accounts for three points, the opponent accounts for three points, and the rest is foreshadowing and so on."

"So how do you write it? How do you write it vividly? I believe that this is a common problem for novices, sometimes it feels stiff to write, and there is a kind of feeling like you want to impose your emotions on others, and the ring drawing is to pay attention to the accumulation of vocabulary. The second is to use it appropriately and consistently. ”

"The description focuses on emotion, but you can't focus on your own emotions, you have to be realistic with the emotions of the characters in the novel, and really integrate emotions into the environment, so that the problem of stiff description is solved."

"Also, in the environment, rhetorical devices are often used, neither less nor more, more seems to be in the number of words, and less is insensitive."

"Usually to accumulate more words, the description will be smooth, as long as the description as long as you grasp the five points of "shape, sound, color and charm", it is almost the same. ”

[This 'novel writing education' has actually penetrated into elementary school, it seems that my guess is correct.] The world I live in is very likely to be a high-level cosmic creature created by an online text! It turns out that the words of the host back then meant this! 】

Dragon Sky Star Domain, Diwu Fantasy Academy...... Fifth Attached High School.

That's right, of course, there is also Tang Zhu here.

There is a banner hanging at the entrance of the attached middle school, "Parents are welcome to come to our school for a parent-teacher conference"

"How do you write the outline of a novel?"

Some say that the outline is the foundation of the novel, some say that the outline is the foundation of the novel, some say it specifically, think that the outline is the overall grasp of the novel, etc., and there are various masters who have made a very detailed outline template for everyone. The character settings, story backgrounds, and miscellaneous things are included. ”

"What you're learning here is a minimalist version of the outline – it's not really a super complicated thing."

"To define, we need to throw away the leaves and get to the heart of the problem. Next, it is recommended that you can read it and answer it yourself in your heart. These are all words that our writers will encounter at any time, but generally no one will struggle with how these words can be explained clearly. ”

"And a lot of times, the solution to the problem is actually in the process of figuring out the definition in depth."

"It's also a great way to express yourself. For example, "refrigerator" is a very simple word, and if you try to define it so that primitive people can understand it, you will find that it is interesting and not as easy as you think. ”

"So, what exactly is an outline?"

"The so-called outline, the general rope of the net, is a metaphor for those points that can form a certain thread of things. When it comes to the "outline of the novel" in the specific context of "novel", the definition of the outline is very simple: the outline is a sectional summary of the main plot of the novel. ”

"The outline is a sectional summary of the main plot of the novel. The outline is not that complicated, and it does not need to carry the content of the persona, background, theme, and technical setting. The outline is juxtaposed with these things. Since we are talking about definitions, it is necessary to dig deeper into them. ”

So what exactly is the "main plot"? ”

"The main plot is a complete summary of the core story content of the novel."

Here we should pay attention to the word "complete generalization". What we usually encounter the most is actually a "high summary" of the core plot of the novel, what is it? To put it bluntly, you are very familiar with it, and everyone has written about the "highly generalized" Dongdong, which is the introduction of your work. ”

"When we write a synopsis for a work, we mainly face the reader, so the most important thing we need to write a synopsis is to highlight the selling point. As a result, the synopsis is often incomplete. It doesn't need to be complete. ”

"The outline is up to you to grasp the development of your whole story, so in principle there is a requirement for completeness. A synopsis can be defined as an incomplete summary of your novel's core story that focuses on highlighting selling points. We are making these definitions here for the sake of accuracy and objectivity. A very vague description is actually meaningless, and the definition is vague, so it is naturally difficult to grasp the crux of the matter. ”

"The outline is a sectional summary of the main plot of the novel, and the main plot is a complete summary of the core story content of the novel. We can continue to dig deeper, so what exactly is the plot? The plot is, of course, your story. ”

But please don't use the "plot is the story, the story is the plot" to explain yourself so confused. Originally, it was a very simple thing - the plot, which is the events experienced by the main characters in your novel in the context of the world you set up.

The plot is the events that take place in the world you create. ”

"So, what is the main line?"

"What's the main line? The main line is that in order to express—1, the growth of the character, or 2, the development of an event itself—your work will pick out some key plots that will affect the growth of the character and the development of the event, and there is an obvious causal relationship and advancement relationship between these singled out events. constitutes a continuous sequence of events, which is the main line. ”

"If you find it difficult to understand, read it a few more times, but it is actually literal. We write an outline for the novel in order to sort out the plot line of the novel, and this is the whole point of the outline. ”

"Writing a novel is, of course, a complex process, and the outline always "involves" a lot of things. But don't put the cart before the horse, focus on everything. Don't try to solve all the problems of writing a novel just by outlining it. ”

"If we can quickly sort out the main line of the story we write, we will be able to clearly grasp the direction of the development of the plot, and it will be much easier to write. The role of a more advanced point, making an outline in advance, allows us to control the rhythm of the novel from the overall situation and lay out the structure of the novel. ”

"When we write an outline, it's actually a process of designing and clarifying the main line of the story. As we mentioned earlier, this storyline is composed of a series of events that have a propulsion relationship and a causal relationship, and the whole becomes a large sum of events. ”

"If you are purely from the perspective of designing a single event, there are three key points that make up a complete event. It's not magical at all, it's just that everyone can understand, the cause, the process, the effect. But we are writing stories, not event reports, and novels should be dramatic.

When we design the plot, we essentially set a starting point of A as the beginning and an end point of B as the end, and the problem we want to solve is how to join the conflict from the initial state of A to cause development, and lead to the final result of B. ”

And the "climax" is actually the concentrated outbreak of conflict, or the place where the foreshadowing is concentrated catharsis. Then the question is, we want to design a story event, how to cause development, to promote the beginning of A to the end of B? Everyone knows this, and the easiest way to advance the plot is "design coincidence". ”

"It's a familiar practice. It is the method that most people subconsciously react to when they hear this question. Actually, it's a lazy approach, and it's very confusing to the reader. Coincidence is the most annoying, and when you yourself are the reader's mentality, you understand this feeling. Design coincidences, in fact, are not the normal means of writing a novel to advance the development of the events of the story. ”

"It's just that another way to advance the plot is so ordinary and ubiquitous that people ignore it. When we write, we mainly rely on the natural cause and effect of events to drive the development of the story.

For example, the protagonist was robbed, so he went to catch the thief, and the protagonist saw a beautiful woman, so he chased it. The protagonist thinks that Night MM is so long-winded, so he runs away and doesn't listen to the lesson anymore, so he misses a lot. ”

In fact, every paragraph of the novel, every sentence is full of cause and effect, but we generally don't pay attention to this kind of thing.

We write ultra-long web novels due to the millions of words. If your story is going to develop every time, "he happened to be saved by a passing god", "he found a cave with a master", readers will soon stop dumping you, they have seen too many classic coincidences, it is difficult for you to come up with new ideas.

The problem comes again, many novels actually use a lot of cliché plots. Why do some of them still make readers enjoy watching with relish, and some of them make people feel that "Ya is an inferior imitation"? ”

The difference is that the former is better at using the "cause and effect relationship to advance the plot" I mentioned above. Let the story seem logical, and the details will be real. It's not just about who "writes better" that makes the difference. ”

"There is also a more typical feature of ultra-long web novels, which is commonly known as "changing maps", which repeats itself. Let's be honest about this, in fact, the author may not have planned to write so long at the beginning, and he didn't know how to expand the plot after writing, so he had to let the protagonist change the map. ”

Although many readers actually buy it, after all, it is not easy to meet an author they like and read a book that they can read. But this shouldn't be the pursuit that an original creator should have.

Traditional novels, that is, those that can be published, usually do not have such an obvious repetition structure, which is the kind: beginning, development (cause, development, climax, stage ending, ending becomes cause and repeats again), ending. There are a lot of plots in the nested part that are similar, but the time and place are changed, and the protagonist's abilities are stronger. ”

But the general popular novel is still similar in nature, except that the author who is particular about it will not be so obvious and rough that people can see that he is using simple structures without a brain as a whole. For those shorter novels, such as a 200,000-word single book, the structure of the novel can be very delicate, such as multiple branches in parallel to promote the main line. As for our web novels, they are usually simple single-line structure advancement. ”

"So there are a lot of eunuchs in online books, because many authors themselves don't know where the story will develop in the future, or they will soon be unable to write."

"Regardless of the length of the novel, if we can design the main plot line from the beginning, then the overall structure of the novel will be more reasonable."

"Some good books are also eunuchs, mainly because of the lack of design in the early stage, so the follow-up is weak, or they fall into repetition, or they don't know how to develop and finish."

"So we need to do the outline exercise, that is, the practice of designing the main story, which is still very necessary. Under this big structure, you can further break it down, and the big events are usually set up with smaller plot events, which also have "beginning, development, climax, and ending". ”

"The parish summary:

How on earth can we outline quickly? ”

"First of all, you have to know what an outline is. In order to fully understand what an outline is, you need to deeply understand what a plot is and what a main line is. Once you have a basic understanding, you can quickly outline a new work by: "

"Step 1: In one sentence, what kind of story do you want to write? Among them, there should be selling points. ”

"Why, what does this have to do with writing an outline? You don't even know what story you're going to write, and you still have an outline. ”

As for why the selling point is emphasized, you can refer to the relevant content in another book, "Fundamentals of Novel Writing in the Fifth Affiliated Middle School". The so-called selling point is actually the "core attraction" of your story. It seems simple, but in fact, there are many authors who can't grasp the selling point of their work, and there is no way to write an attractive and good introduction to their work. ”

"And the reason why we need to grasp the selling point before writing the outline, simply put, is because the selling point is not only an important factor in attracting readers, but also an important factor in helping you complete a story. If you find that your story doesn't have any selling points, and you don't find it compelling, it's hard to keep your passion for the story and your creative impulse to create – and there's no outline. ”

"Step 2: Based on the results of the previous step, make a list of the important events that you must describe in order to express the story."

The key word here is "must". For example, if the girls want to write a love story, there must be a major event such as the male protagonist discovering that he likes the female protagonist. ”

"For example, if you want to write a story about hegemony, there must be a key plot that determines the ownership of the world."

"I don't think I need to exhaust this, everyone should be able to swish and write a bunch of stories about a specific theme, the events that must happen. The second step is to find out exactly what this is. ”

"Of course, at this point, there is no end, these seem to be necessary, the key events cannot really form the main line of the story, and the outline has not yet taken shape, what else do we need?"

"Step 3: Based on the results of the previous two steps, give your story a starting point as the beginning, and then an end point as the ending, and then order the important events that you just thought had to happen."

"In line with" in the accumulation of conflicts" "is an important event foreshadowing", placed in the position of "development"; In line with the events of "concentrated outbreak of conflict" and "concentrated catharsis", put in the position of "climax", the third step is actually a simple sorting work. It is also a process of finding the "missing key plot" according to the general structure of "the cause develops the climax and the ending". ”

This step is completed, so your story has the key plot of the "beginning", the key event of "driving the development", and the "climax event" and "ending". This is basically the prototype of a main line, which can be counted as the simplest and roughest outline. ”

"Step 4: According to the results of the previous three steps, the next layer of key plots in the end, development, climax, and ending is stretched in order to form the second layer of plot outline.

The point to note here is that it is best to find those "key events" that have a "causal relationship" that can help to connect the key plots of the first layer. ”

"When these four steps are completed, you have a complete outline of the story."

"Okay, parents and friends, the detailed answer to this question only needs to spend a few hundred planes to buy our exclusive textbooks for your child......"

The face of the "lecturer" was full of smiles.
