Epilogue (1)
A book is finished, as the author, the heart is still reluctant, June 16 last year to the present, almost a year, almost all the effort is poured into this book, no matter what the result is, to write a postscript to record, the postscript may last about four days, each day is more than a thousand words, as a summary and essay, put in the paid chapter, you can not read.
The first third of this book is the smoothest time for me to write, because I just opened the book, there are countless plots and conflicts in my head, and when I write the book, I always feel that the protagonist is also a very spiritual person, with endless strength, and there are a lot of schemes in my head.
So the results of this book in the early stage can still satisfy Wolf Smoke, and even for a short period of time after it was put on the shelves, Wolf Smoke thought that he could hit the boutique, but it turned out that my idea was still too young, and then I was taught a hard lesson by reality.
Friends who follow the book know that Wolf Yan's son was born in July last year, and the early growth of the little guy has always accompanied my creation, of course, I also have to consume a lot of time.
As everyone knows, I am a part-time writer, and the reason is very simple, my job is not very busy, and on the other hand, the money for writing books is not enough to support my life, so I can't muster up the courage to quit.
But for other reasons, the turning point of this book is the episode where Qin Shi Huang died.
When I was preparing to write the plot of the death of Qin Shi Huang, I thought of many ways to write it, and I wanted to write the death of the first emperor of the ages more vividly, so I revised the outline many times.
When I finally wrote it, my own emotions were indeed driven by this episode, so I was very satisfied with that episode.
But I don't know if it was because I spent all my energy on that part of the plot or because I was a little busy at work, and after writing that paragraph, I couldn't find my state well for a long time.
The author's state of mind will definitely affect the protagonist in the book, and I know it deeply at this moment.
I wasn't satisfied with the long plot after the death of the First Emperor, and I felt that the main character in the book, like me, had the feeling of a headless fly scurrying around.
But because of the good feeling in the early days, I always thought I would be able to get the book back on track in a short period of time.
And it turns out that some things as long as they go downhill, and then it is very difficult to climb up, after many revisions to the outline and outline, I still haven't let the plot behind the book go on the right track in my heart, what I didn't know at the time was that I didn't slow down in order to ensure that the update of 8,000 words a day was not slowed down, and I had gone further and further on the right track of the book.
Eventually, at the time of 1 million words, the book began to go downhill completely, during which I changed my writing style several times, but it did not stop the decline in grades, the average subscription that had grown rapidly began to move, and the recommended votes and rewards began to decrease, and slowly, I finally began to think that this book may not meet my expectations.
According to the original outline, the book was to write 3 million words, but in desperation, the outline could only be revised and the length of the 3 million words was shortened to a little more than 2 million, so as not to avoid hydrology.
