[Summary of this volume]
Let's start with five chapters today.
Because yesterday I spent a day thinking about the plot of the next volume, I just figured out a general idea and racked my brains, and I didn't have any spare words at all.
~~
Here is the summary text:
After two months, the Beijing volume, which lasted nearly 700,000 words, was finally completed, and I can breathe a long sigh of relief.
There shouldn't be such a long volume in the future...... bar.
I had expected this volume to be difficult to write.
Because this is the capital volume (serious face), the so-called eight directions of wind and rain will be in Zhongzhou, all parties will appear in the capital, and all kinds of contradictions must be shown, either bright or dark.
If you don't explain it in front of you and don't foreshadow, and a terrible force pops up in the middle of it, you will be laughed at by readers.
Moreover, before and after writing a million words, what Zhao Gongzi wants to do, the route he wants to take, and the views he wants to uphold must also be clarified one by one, either in detail or omitted.
If you don't explain it in front of you, and you don't foreshadow, and you suddenly shout in the middle that I want to go to sea, I want to make a revolution, and I will be laughed at by readers.
Moreover, the main characters who should appear have to be pulled out to make an appearance, either primary or secondary.
If you don't explain it in front of you, and you don't foreshadow, a heroine suddenly pops up halfway...... I guess the reader will be very happy.
Well, there are still a lot of characters in this book who don't appear in the book. The next volume is a new version of the ship you haven't played before.
Therefore, Zhao Hao and his wife entered Beijing with so many tasks, and there is a huge problem in the Beijing volume, that is, it has no natural main line! Yes! Yes! Yes!
The main line of the Nanjing volume is that the father and son get rid of poverty and become rich, the son completes the primitive accumulation, and the father is admitted to the examination. Everyone and everything is written around these two lines, plus the story is very simple at the beginning, there are not so many characters and tasks, the natural rhythm is bright, the pace is light, and the writing is extremely concise.
But what's in the Beijing roll? Zhao Shouzheng Zhongjinshi? That's not a line, it's a dot. The love story of a father and a godmother? That's not the main story.
What should we Zhao Gongzi do? Is it winter for cats at home every day?
Under the superposition of the above many problems, do you still want to write interesting and fascinating?
OMG, it's hard to write a book to death!
Therefore, the Beijing volume is destined to be a very special volume, and when it was first written, the monk's mood can be imagined.
That's just a hard charge......
To tell the truth, the monk who wrote this volume was extremely tired, I don't know how many times my mind was blank, and I don't know how many times I couldn't write a word in front of the screen for half a day.
That is, everyone's support and the understanding of my family made me persevere.
Don't know what to write every day? Can't think of an interesting plot? Then think hard.
Too much time spent in one chapter, no time to sleep for five chapters a day? Then don't sleep.
Finally, I worked hard to end this volume successfully.
Looking back at this volume, the tasks that need to be completed have been completed, and several successful characters have been created, and the story is also interesting and vivid, considering the difficulty of this volume, I think I can score 90 points.
Of course, there are dissatisfactions, mainly from the beginning of the exam, because of the addition of the inverted Xu line, so that the story is tightened all of a sudden.
This is certainly a good thing and will make the story good. However, this does not fully integrate with the important task of this volume, which is to 'build the overall structure of the story and set the tone for the whole book'.
If you divide the two narrative lines together, it will dilute the main line and add too many cumbersome plots. If written like that, it is estimated that the volume would be more than 800,000 words.
In order to keep the story coherent, I didn't switch the narrative line until Xu Ge Lao Zhishi, Zhao Erye was carried home, and Zhao Hao left Beijing at the same time, so I concentrated on explaining the things that should be explained.
Herein lies the problem. This led to a few days before leaving Beijing, Zhao Gongzi made a marquee. Naturally, there is no way to tell the story with a twist, and the gag will drag on the length of this paragraph. So that's all it can do.
This is really refreshing for a while, and it is sad to break my bowels.
But fortunately, all the tasks have been completed, the stage has been built, and the next few volumes will be much easier to write.
In addition, yesterday it took a day to conceive a new volume. Although there is only a general idea, the long-lost lightness is back!
There is a natural main line that is easy to think about and write, and the monk can't help but burst into tears.
I hope that Suzhou volume can be written more excitingly and more liked by everyone.
By the way, it will be updated at eight o'clock in the future, and although twelve o'clock is friendly to me, it is not friendly to readers......
