I've been wanting to write this supernumerary chapter for a long time, and I started writing it in April, but I only finished it recently.

Is my article "The Holy Messenger of the Light Source" a commercial online article? This question is also a question that I have been thinking about myself.

The first time I wrote an article, in the first month of the first month of writing, I went to the forum to read more than 30 articles about the experience of online writing, and even followed my previous reading habits, and also handwritten reading notes, I feel that I have benefited a lot.

For example, there is a post called "The Routine of Business Online Articles", which summarizes the routines of the so-called commercial online articles, which are vivid. For example, it is directly pointed out that after the first conflict is resolved, three branches are unfolded, and the three branches are the protagonist's skills, elixirs, adventures, and it is strictly forbidden for the protagonist to play soy sauce for more than 3000 words, etc. A number of empirical articles have pointed out that the plot of the online article should develop quickly, and those that have nothing to do with the plot do not need to be described in detail, do not foreshadow too much, do not describe many characters, and highlight the protagonist, etc.

After reading many experience talks, I seem to feel that my article does not meet the requirements of commercial online articles.

For example, there are many characters involved in the article, which is said to be a taboo in commercial online articles. But my protagonist is not a single protagonist, nor is it a double protagonist----- once a book friend asked, "Do you write a double protagonist?" Can you handle it? "One-Although I don't have enough confidence, I still know my own intentions, and my text, which was designed from the beginning, is to have multiple protagonists!! Two female protagonists, four male protagonists. There are also a lot of "sub-protagonists--- I don't know if there is such a concept as a sub-protagonist, but that's what I call it. These characters ---- they are not as good as the main characters, but they are more than the supporting characters, and even in some episodes, they become the main characters.

For example, the business online article says, don't do too much foreshadowing. And I have too much foreshadowing, and even the foreshadowing that appears at the beginning does not appear until the end. A foreshadowing, 100,000 words before the appearance, 100,000 words before the effect is revealed again. For example, a maze diagram, such as a bracelet, such as a Solomon thread group, and so on.

Another example is the details, what kind of details are related to the main plot or not? I would love writing scenes that most people don't think have anything to do with the main plot. For example, in the first chapter, "Into Heaven", I spent hundreds of words writing about the food on the buffet table, and I also spent two or three hundred words about the city of NN, which was criticized as incomplete. For example, I would spend hundreds of words writing about a crystal chandelier or a wall--- for the simple reason that I wanted to create a real world.

Experience also pointed out that the plot of commercial online articles should develop quickly! In terms of plot design, I am running three main lines in parallel. This leads to an even more fatal drawback--- too slow to heat. I myself feel that if I don't see more than 100,000 words, the plot can't be revealed.

All of them, maybe my writing is not good enough, maybe my plot design is not detailed enough, maybe some descriptions are too naïve or wooden, and so on, resulting in the text to 320,000 words, as of 8:38 a.m. today, 3871 clicks, 617 recommendations, and only 67 collections. Fortunately--- my heart is as transparent as glass, but it is not as fragile as glass.

My dream as a child was to be a writer. Now, I'm finally starting to write. Do you want to write a business online essay or a story that you want to write? I chose the latter.

―I choose to write what I want to write and do what I want.

--- I chose to dream, I chose to make my dreams come true.

Adhere to the original intention, you have to always.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in 2014 is a different Mid-Autumn Festival. What's different, only I understand.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the book friends who have always understood me and are willing to read my writings - although the number of you is not large, it is estimated that there are only a dozen of you. It has been said that the soul can only walk alone. I've always felt that words are a way for the soul to sing. I am glad that my soul is seen and willing to walk with me. Thank you so much. I wish you a happy reunion in the Mid-Autumn Festival! Good luck!
