Testimonials and explanations for the new book

Previous Chapter

"The Imposter Traverser" is finally finished, so let's make a summary with some historical significance.

From December 2o12 to today, it has been serialized for a total of 628 days, with a total of 5.56 million words, and an average of 885o words a day. This degree of renewal can only be regarded as average, of course, we pay attention to the quality of updates.

Among all the creations I have created, the writing of "Imposter Traverser" is the most gorgeous, the character portrayal is the most distinct, the plot is the most twists and turns, the setting is the most ambitious, the creativity is the most innovative, the plot rhythm is the best, the sense of substitution is the strongest, the number of subscriptions is the most, the editor is the most optimistic, and even the reader's evaluation is the highest.

Arguably, "The Imposter Traverser" is the most perfect of all the works I have ever written, and there is no one.

Well, actually, I've only written one in total.

The truth is always so cruel.

……

No one succeeds casually. Before I wrote The Imposter, I knew almost nothing about the creation of the Internet, so it made perfect sense that it would have hit the streets.

From the very beginning, the positioning of this book is to practice writing, and I want to understand and learn some knowledge about creation through it. In the process of writing, I also consciously make some new attempts, although it is an urban book, but the elements it contains are relatively complex.

The element of "crossing" alone, whether it is flesh wearing, soul wearing, passing through the past, passing through the future, or wearing it positively, backwards, wearing it in another world, wearing it multiple times, etc., almost all forms of crossing have been written. These are all deliberately arranged, different elements. It represents different plot modes and will be written in different ways.

It is precisely because of the complexity of the elements. Ling becomes impure, and the twists and turns of the plot are relatively large, going around and around, and the damage to the sense of substitution is more serious.

In fact, the early results of "Imposter Traverser" are passable, if Tang Xiaosheng is kept in the city to pick up girls, step on people, act, make money, and pretend to be coerced, the results of this book will be at least three or four times better than now.

Eventually, though, I decided to try something out based on my own ideas. As a writer. There are some things that are difficult to truly appreciate without trying them yourself. Even if it is a wrong attempt, it is only after trying it that you will have a deeper understanding.

So, I deliberately shortened the loop plot in the early stage of "Imposter Traverser". The plot after the little dragon girl crossed over wrote about 3o million words; Xiao Huang Rong crossed over the plot and wrote about 2o thousand; The plot after Zhao Min crossed over wrote about 1o thousand; Later, Wang Yuyan, Ren Yingying, Dongfang Undefeated, Bai Xiaoxiao, Xiaoqian and others have fewer and fewer words in the plot after they cross, all of which are less than 1o thousand words

That's why. It's just to get into the plot of the little girl.

Judging from the structure of the whole article, when you enter the plot of the little girl, you can be regarded as starting the main plot.

When it was written that Tang Xiaosheng traveled back to Baiyang Village 2o years ago to find the little girl, and uncovered the mystery of the little girl and crossed the mystery, there were many book friends in the book review area who left messages, and most of them had a positive attitude towards the little girl's setting. It was the most active period for book lovers during the serialization period.

However, when I started writing the plot of the little girl, it was actually the time when the subscription fell the most.

In just a few days, the 24-hour subscription dropped about 4o%, and the drop was shocking to me. There weren't many subscriptions in the first place. Suddenly a 4o% drop, almost half a life.

From a business point of view. At that time, it was possible to finish the book, because the subscription had fallen into slag, and more importantly, it would definitely continue to be dropped.

Because when writing the little girl, it is only the starting point of the whole "logical" plot, everything has just begun, and the concept of logic will be interpreted with millions of words of plot later, and the fluctuations and turns of the plot are bigger and bigger each time, and it may be foreseen that the subscription will inevitably continue.

So, I really thought about it at that time. When it was written that Tang Xiaosheng and the beauties were hidden in the top of the light, they originally wanted to end it. If it ends at that node, the structure is also very complete.

Eventually, though, there was one thing that made me decide to keep writing, and that was the concept of "logic" because it was a great structure for telling a love story.

Tang Xiaosheng created the little girl, and the little girl in turn created Tang Xiaosheng, they created each other, fell in love with each other, and the whole world existed because of their love, which is a story worth sharing. After some consideration, it was decided to write it out.

So, after Tang Xiaosheng went into hiding, I dug the pit of Gan Nineteen Sisters, and then dug out the pit of Wei Xiaobao, Yin Zhiping, Huo Xing and the Book of Prophecy, and then entered "Journey to the West", completely deducing the structure of "logic" through the plot.

By the time these episodes were written, the subscriptions had dropped to an almost negligible level. When I wrote about the reunion of Tang Xiaosheng and the little girl in "Journey to the West", I had the idea of finishing the book for the second time.

Of course, now everyone knows that in the end, the book was not finished, and later the 13th Earth space-time was pulled out, and more than 2oo words were written.

At that time, I decided to continue with it, mainly as an exploratory mentality, a desire to explore the unknown territory of writing. When a book is written to the end of the mountain, when there seems to be nothing to write about, it is actually the most suitable for pen practice, and it is also the most interesting state of writing.

Under such writing conditions, as long as you write hard, every time you write an additional plot, you are challenging and testing your own limits. This kind of attempt is very meaningful, because only by trying to make some breakthroughs can you be more likely to enter new territory rather than standing still.

Take a road that you haven't walked, take a road that seems to have no road, and it's easy to find new things. Of course, another possibility to do this is that it will be pounced, and the possibility of hitting the street is very high.

In fact, the better the score, the less daring the writer is to make such a risky attempt, because the cost is too great. A writer with an average order of 30,000 yuan, if the average order drops to 5,000 because of a new attempt, it is estimated that he even has the heart to jump off the building.

And a street writer like me. The subscription is only 5o in total, no matter what. At most, it will fall to O, which is a total of 5O, and the pressure is obviously much less.

Therefore, there is an advantage to hitting the street.

Only when you hit the street can you have more courage and opportunity to make new attempts.

With this mentality, I pulled out the plot of Earth 13 to see what else I could write. What else can you write when you don't know what to write anymore? This in itself is a very interesting question.

This way of forcing yourself to rack your brains to write. It's quite brain-draining. When writing about Earth 13, I used several times more brain power than all the previous plots. Especially when writing about several serial scams between Lao Hei, Mickey Mouse and Tang Xiaosheng, it was necessary to bury a lot of foreshadowing, and as a result, after finally laying the ambush, it happened to be a harmonious period, and there were some originally planned plots that could not be written. It must be discarded, more than half of the original layout or foreshadowing can no longer be used, and the structure of the scam must be completely rebuilt to find the foreshadowing. Many of the foreshadowings of the plot during that period were not buried in advance, but I forced them to come forward later. At that time, I was forced to almost vomit blood.

Although this experience has suffered a lot of brain cell loss, it is still very worthwhile overall, and it will make people experience again and again what it means to "have no way out of doubt, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village". Many of the dead ends are not really without a road, they are just that there is no one to take them.

Something new. Sometimes you have to fight yourself.

From a creative point of view, this is a very helpful way for writers to improve their creative thinking. It's not just about conceiving a story, it's about exploring the story itself through the story.

If the results of "Impostor Traverser" were a little better, and the manuscript fee could reach half of the salary of an ordinary bricklayer, it would not be over so quickly, because the setting of this book itself is very suitable for exploring the plot mode, and insisting on groping for 10 million words will definitely have a lot of new gains.

It's a pity that the subscription fee is only about one-fifth of the salary of an ordinary restaurant dishwashing aunt.

The low cost of writing is one thing, and on the other hand, the writer is prone to losing sensitivity to the plot.

When the subscription hovers between 4o and 5o all the time, and then continues to hover for a year, it is easy for writers to become numb. Because no matter how the plot is written and how much time is spent on conceiving, the number of subscriptions fluctuates in the range of 4o to 5o, and the writer can't tell whether the plot is good or bad. If this situation continues for too long, the writer will not only fail to achieve the goal of practicing the pen, but also easily fall into the misunderstanding.

This is the case of "Imposter Traverser", for a long time, the 24-hour subscription is hovering between 4o and 5o, the results are quite stable, and 9o% of subscriptions are automatic subscriptions. At one point, I suspected that these auto-subscribed book lovers most likely forgot to cancel their subscriptions.

Because the subscription is so stable, when a chapter is uploaded every day, the data is not shocked, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the death is silent, and there is almost no feedback from readers, and it feels like playing a stand-alone machine, saying that it seems to be writing and reading by yourself.

As this situation lasts for a long time, the more you write, the more you write about yourself, and this kind of writing not only cannot cure depression, but also tends to make depression more and more serious.

Therefore, after careful consideration, it was decided to complete the book.

……

The decision to finish the book was made three months ago, but when the ending was written today, it was still very unaccustomed. To put it mildly, it is a little reluctant.

Although the results were not satisfactory, I spent a lot of time and energy on this book. From December 1o, 2o12 to today, for 628 days, an average of more than 1o hours a day was spent on this book.

While eating, before going to bed, when going out, while walking, while shopping, while riding in the car, while taking a bath...... As long as I have free time, I almost always think about the plot and characters, and even go to the bathroom to think about the plot. In fact, a lot of the inspiration in "Imposter Traverser" came up in the bathroom.

For normal people, even if they are lovers, I am afraid they will not think about their lover every day, day and night, even the bathroom, and then think about it for two years in a row, and the holidays are endless. If such a person really exists in real life, he is definitely not a lover saint, but a pervert with mental illness.

Unfortunately, writers are basically perverted in this way, spending more time on their characters than their lovers. The characters in "Imposter Traverser" have been in my head for two years, and now it's suddenly over. Some don't fit in.

Especially when I thought that I couldn't write the plot of Xiao Huang Rong selling cuteness in the future, my thoughts suddenly became very incomprehensible.

I was going to drag out Imposter for another month or two. While writing old books, I also conceive new ones. But in fact, when it comes to operation, it is really not a human thing to do, and when switching back and forth between the plots of the two books, there will be a sense of schizophrenia, and the thinking is easily confused. What's more, when it was conceived, it could not be integrated into the plot of the new book. It's hard to get into the play.

If you don't get out of "Imposter Traverser" first, it will be difficult to enter the world of new books. So, I finally decided to finish the book this month.

……

I've been thinking about new books since the end of last year, and I now have a total of three themes in my hands. All three themes I really want to write about, and it's a bit difficult to choose.

After much consideration, I finally chose to write about a theme that I would continue to write even if I hit the streets.

This idea of choosing a subject is quite shocking. But rationally speaking, it should be a more sensible choice.

Writing the Internet is a very cruel profession, the market is always changing, the tastes of readers are always changing, and once the writer can't keep up with the pace, he will be eliminated. And if you step too fast, you also risk hitting the street. Therefore, even a well-known writer cannot guarantee that his next book will not hit the streets, let alone be a street writer.

Writers can only prepare to the best. Then prepare for the worst.

In the two years I've been writing "The Imposter Traverser", I've read some articles about creation. There are about 3ooo articles, and I finally have a preliminary understanding of creation. On the surface, it seems simple, just a story, but the knowledge inside is really broad and profound, and there is so much to learn, research and explore.

If I could, I would probably prefer to dive into research for five or ten years before I started creating. But this is obviously unrealistic, people always have to eat, and they can only study and research while coding words, and earn some living expenses by the way. The process of creation is itself a process of exploration.

Therefore, the subject matter I have chosen for my new book is an exploratory theme, and in short, it is still a practice of writing. In the past two years, I have some new opinions, and in my new book, I will try to express them through stories. If the new book ends up hitting the street again, at least it has made a meaningful attempt, and I will not feel sorry.

The theme of the new book is urban, and as for the specific content, I won't talk about it here, because it's useless to say it. The outline of the new book has been written in tens of thousands of words, and the framework has come out, but I am not alone in this thing, and I still need to ask the editor to review it and ask for his opinion before the new book list.

The editor is much more professional than me, and he may give suggestions for changes, and at that time, he will probably have to change some ideas, so what I am previewing is a little too early. Only after communicating with the editor can it be truly qualitative.

If all goes well, new books will be uploaded in late September or early October. Of course, this is only an estimate and the actual situation is subject to change.

Two years ago, when "Counterfeit Traverser" was submitted, due to too many problems, it did not meet the contract standard, so I kept revising, kept submitting, and submitted again and again, until the editor left, and the manuscript still did not pass the contract. Later, I changed editors, continued to submit, and finally passed after three more submissions. The entire submission process lasted seven months and thirteen days, tossed for more than half a year, and a total of 18 were written at the beginning, and the manuscript was scrapped for more than 8o million words.

Hopefully, this sad story won't be repeated in the new book......

In short, when I feel ready myself, and the editor thinks that I have passed the test, the new book will be uploaded. If you want to know the real-time dynamics of the new book, you can join the "Counterfeit Traverser" Q-Q group, and I will notify you in the group after the new book is uploaded.

Q-Q group number: 4288799

After the new book is uploaded, all book friends are welcome to cheer for it.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't join the show, I definitely won't let Xiao Huang Rong wear a miserable white human skin mask and dress up as a female ghost in white to sneak into your room in the middle of the night to scare you, you can rest assured.

……

Finally, I would like to take the opportunity of this to thank some people.

First of all, thank you for your support. Don't say the hypocritical words, a thousand words are combined into two words - [After the new book is uploaded, remember to vote for a few recommendations.] 】

Second. Thank you to my editors, including former former editor Jelly, former former editor Lan Genie. The former editor-in-charge XIII and the current editor-in-charge expedition. In the past two years, there have been four editors, who have made indelible contributions to "The Imposter Traverser" at different times, some helping to give opinions, some helping to sign contracts, some helping to recommend, and some helping to revise the harmonious chapter titles.

Thirdly, thank you Xiao Huang Rong for being during my Kavin. Xiao Huang Rong often helped me conceive the plot and provided me with selfless help.

……

Since we talked about Xiao Huang Rong, in the end, Xiao Huang Rong will say goodbye to everyone on behalf of all the staff and characters of "Counterfeit Traverser"!

"Okay, Rong'er, don't hide, I know you're in a dark corner. Come out and say a few words to everyone. ”

"Hee-hee!" In the corner, Xiao Huang Rong's little head stretched out, and her white and tender little hand waved, "Hi, hello everyone, I'm Rong'er!" ”

"Rong'er. It's been a long time, what have you been doing lately? ”

"I've been traveling in Jurassic with Daddy, Yameng, Ziwen, Da Long'er, Xiang'er, and Minmin recently." Xiao Huang Rong said a little excitedly, "There are a lot of dinosaurs there, and I raised a Tyrannosaurus rex with Xiang'er, hehe." ”

"Rong'er. I heard that in the time and space of "The Legend of the New White Lady", you used to swim in the West Lake of Hangzhou-Zhou in a bikini. Is this true? ”

"No, it's fake news!"

"So you're swimming in West Lake without a bikini?"

"Of course not." Xiao Huang Rong's nose moved like a bell and clarified, "I was wearing a one-piece swimsuit." ”

“……”

"Mars, I've read the outline of the new book you passed to me yesterday." At this time, Xiao Huang Rong said.

"Really? What does Rong'er think of my new book? ”

"Okay." Xiao Huang Rong pursed her mouth, "The new book is better than "The Imposter Traverser", I watched the sky last night, pinched my fingers and calculated, and now the manuscript fee of your new book should be able to reach the salary level of an ordinary brick movers." ”

"Impossible, right? I'm satisfied that the cost of a new book manuscript can reach the salary of an ordinary restaurant dishwashing aunt. ”

"Mars, don't be so discouraged, you should be confident, I think you are a little better than the aunt who washes dishes in the hotel." Xiao Huang Rong encouraged, "I will help you conceive the plot of the new book, if you grit your teeth again, the manuscript fee of the new book may be twice as much as the salary of the dishwashing aunt." ”

"I'm a little excited to hear you say that. Then borrow Rong'er's auspicious words, and when the manuscript fee for the new book is paid, I will invite Rong'er to dinner. ”

"What to eat?" Xiao Huang Rong's big eyes flashed.

"You can eat anything, you can choose Chinese and Western food."

"What's Western food?" Xiao Huang Rong asked curiously, "Is it the kind that is worth lunch with McDonald's classic McSpicy Chicken Leg Burger, 15 yuan a piece?" ”

"Of course not, the Western food is the one that eats fragrant roasted teriyaki chicken thigh rice + mushroom four-treasure soup, the one that costs 24 yuan a piece."

"Oh. It's good to have roast chicken thighs. ”

"Okay, Rong'er, don't water, let's get to the point. "The Imposter Traverser" is now about to be completed, and it means goodbye to everyone who is a book friend. ”

"Mars, no need to say goodbye." Xiao Huang Rong explained, "My father is studying a way to travel to the 'X Earth space-time', and I will go to the 'X Earth space-time' to find you in the future." ”

"That's right. Rong'er, if you come to the 'X Earth plane' in the future, remember to bring me some of your specialties from that plane. ”

"Specialty?" Xiao Huang Rong asked curiously, "What do you want?" ”

"The golden finger of Taurus Mountain, can you bring me a golden finger by the way?"

"Yes." Xiao Huang Rong asked, "What kind of gold finger do you like?" ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can defy the sky."

"Don't worry, the golden fingers of Taurus Mountain can defy the sky."

"That's good."

"Mars, can I go now?"

"So fast?"

"I'm going back to feeding that Tyrannosaurus rex."

"Okay. Rong'er sang to everyone before leaving, right? ”

"What song?"

"Sing whatever you want."

"Mars, what's the name of this song you're listening to on a single loop right now?"

"What I'm listening to now is an old song sung by Meng Tingwei, called "Shining Days"."

"Shining Days? I'll just sing this song, okay? ”

"No problem."

As soon as the camera turned, "All of you who are reading the book "Imposter Traverser", this "Imposter Traverser" conference is all over here, and it is officially over today, thank you for taking the time to attend this event today. Finally, Rong'er will sing a song called "Shining Days". In Rong'er's sweet and beautiful singing, the conference of "Counterfeit Traverser" came to an end, and I wish all book friends their wishes come true and their dreams come true. We'll see you later. ”

As soon as the words fell, a melodious melody sounded on the stage, which was the prelude to the song "Shining Days".

In the center of the stage, there is a little Lori, she is wearing a pink dress, like a peach blossom in the first bloom, and the little Lori is naturally the cute little Huang Rong.

Xiao Huang Rong held the microphone in her small hand, her petite body gently swayed to the rhythm of the song, her childish pretty face had shallow dimples hanging on it, and her big watery eyes flickered, as if she was brewing emotions.

After a soothing prelude, at this time, Xiao Huang Rong picked up the microphone, opened her cherry mouth, and sang "Shining Days" softly in a childish voice: "

I'm going to sing a song, the old one.

I sing softly, and you slowly and harmoniously.

Do you remember the dreams of the past.

Those hopeful, glorious years

You and I have gone through hardships for our ideals, we have cried and laughed together.

May you remember, and always remember, the shining days we had.
