Announcement: Talk about the heart, ask for drills
Note: Updated in the previous chapter
The past month has probably been the most painful of my writing career.
Because the protagonist in my book has "crossed over" and traveled to a continent where "cultivation" is the mainstay.
Friends who often read online novels may be no stranger to this kind of plot, and many novels will "cross" to other continents after they have developed to a certain extent and continue their development career.
But this is the first time I've written about this kind of plot.
Friends who are familiar with me know that I used to be school-based, and then the school didn't let me write, so I rewrote the city, and the most exaggerated plot I've ever written is that the protagonist dominates Ri Ben and Mei country.
There are two main reasons why I wrote about the crossing this time.
First, censorship is getting stricter and stricter, and in the original urban worldview, no matter what is written, it is forbidden, forbidden and forbidden, and no matter how many sensitive words are replaced, it is possible that the entire book will be taken off the shelves overnight.
This kind of situation is not unprecedented, "Bad Young and Frivolous" is still banned, "Who Fights", "Young King" and "Dragon Rises" have also been blocked, but I sold the face of an "old author" to find the editor-in-chief, and then I was unblocked.
But the editor-in-chief also warned me not to write anything like this in the future.
When I wrote this book "No. 1 in the World", I also tried my best to avoid sensitive plots, but no, as long as I was in this worldview, no matter what I wrote, I could be banned.
It's so hard, it's really too hard, you don't write a book, you never get that feeling.
When I write a book now, the first thing I think about is not whether the plot is exciting, but whether it can pass the review!
Writing a book with this in mind, I had already lost more than half of my life.
Speaking of which, some friends may ask: No, I read XX's book, and he writes everything, why is it okay?
I can only answer: I don't know, I don't know.
Just because someone else can write doesn't mean I can write, I really tried my best, and if it doesn't work, it won't work.
Second, I'm tired of writing this kind of plot all the time.
Whether it's a campus novel or an urban novel, to put it bluntly, those routines are either dominating here or there, and each author's expression is definitely different, but to put it bluntly, that's what it is.
I think that within the scope of what I can express, I have basically written it all over again, and I can't write it anymore.
Especially when I wrote "The First in the World", Ross Continent invented a combat robot, and I was actually very sad in my heart, isn't this the variant of the transformed man in "The Dragon Rises", can I still write something new?
So my heart is crossed, so let's just cross it.
First of all, I have to admit that this book did not "cross" the project in the original plan, it was purely that I wrote and wrote, and when Yanzu and Yun Zhongzi were mentioned again and again, I suddenly wanted to write about the story of the two of them.
How to bring the two of them back to life and have a certain intersection with the protagonist?
This is where the idea of "crossing" comes in.
I know a lot of other books about it, but I don't know if anyone has ever written about my kind of crossing: fighting with a boss and suddenly traveling to the boss's ancestors......
Hahaha, it's so funny, it's really whimsical!
When I first wrote this kind of plot, I was very scared and nervous, and I didn't dare to read the comments for a few days, but I knew from some clues that there should be a lot of people who sprayed me, and many people shouted to abandon the book.
I don't say a word, I don't answer, I bury my head in writing.
After writing books for so many years, I have long understood a truth, whether readers love to read your books or not, it has nothing to do with whether you write realistically or not, the question is whether you write well or not!
If you don't write well, no one will buy you if you truthfully describe and restore social life.
You write beautifully, even if it is exaggerated to the point of worshipping Sun Wukong and Erlang God, readers will be happy enough to give you a big thumbs up!
In esports, the dish is the original sin.
Web novels, it's the original sin that doesn't look good!
If my book hits the streets, it will only be because it is not well written, not because of crossing!
So again, it's the first time I've written this kind of plot, and I don't know if I'll be able to write it well.
I'll write, you see!
Okay, now for the second thing: the drill.
Writing these two words, I can only sigh deeply and helplessly.
I don't know when "asking for drilling" has become such an unspeakable thing for me.
Every time I talk about drilling, there are always people in the comments: Don't add more, still want to drill?
Seeing such comments, I felt an indescribable sadness in my heart.
Am I not adding more every day?
I update two chapters a day.,A chapter at 11:30 a.m.,A chapter at 3 p.m.,This chapter is a plus at 8 p.m.!
And you know, most authors have 2,000 words in a chapter, and mine has 3,000 words in a chapter.
My three chapters a day down, nearly 10,000 words!
More than the four of some authors!
Speaking of diligence alone, I can rank in the top 10% in Heiyan and even in the entire online literature circle!
No matter where I am, I dare to pat my chest and say such things!
But in fact, I am most comfortable with two chapters a day, which is six thousand words.
One chapter in the morning, one chapter in the afternoon, and you can take a break in the evening, spend time with the children, watch TV, or something.
When I first came to Black Rock and first started writing "Who Fights", I did just that, 6,000 words a day, easily.
But later, some readers said, why not add more, everyone is happy to see it, add a more.
At that time, I was embarrassed to refuse the reader, so I was ruthless and said to add more!
For every 500 gold diamonds, 1000 recommended votes, or 1 jade pendant, one more will be added, and one crown will be added 10 more! (It's a day plus a change, not a one-time add.) )
Because the data of a book, in addition to clicks and subscriptions, is the most important thing.
In order to activate the data, and for everyone to have fun, this rule was set at that time.
At that time, a friend of mine who was an author persuaded me not to do this, and he also said conclusively: If you update two chapters a day and occasionally add one more chapter, readers will be very surprised; But if you add more every day, it will become a fixed three chapters, and after a long time, readers will form a habit, and they will feel that this is a matter of course, not only will they not feel surprised, but they will complain that you are unchanged, why can't you add more occasionally? Even if you don't add it occasionally, they will scold you!
But I didn't pay attention to it, because I felt that since I could write three chapters a day, I should write three chapters, and I couldn't disappoint the readers.
The result...... My road to the change has never stopped!
A book is written from beginning to end, stunned from beginning to end, non-stop for a day!
Here, I would like to thank those friends who voted for gold diamonds, voted for recommendations, and rewarded jade pendants and crowns, it is you who have maintained this addition from beginning to end.
But my rest is completely gone, I write in the morning and in the afternoon, and I write in the afternoon and in the evening......
I write every day, Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday, holidays, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, Chinese New Year's Eve Night and New Year's Day......
I don't have a day off, I don't have a day off, friends!
I'm coding when you're out playing, I'm coding when you're watching movies, I'm coding when you're drinking with friends......
Of course, I'm here to make money, and it's also a job of my own choosing, and most web writers are like this, so I won't say much.
But the problem is, my author's friend's previous prophecy has really come true!
There are really readers who complain that I don't change the same, and there are really readers who complain that I don't add more?
- Even if I really stay the same, even if I really don't add updates every day, 365 days a year, rain or shine, and keep it stable and updated, it's ...... Can you be called a "model worker", it's not too much to ask for a golden diamond, right?
The contract of the website clearly stipulates: 5,000 words are updated every day, and you can take one day off every month.
But I've never overdone and never taken a day off.
Therefore, when I was asking for drilling, I saw some friends brushing together: If you don't add more, I won't cast drills.
I really wanted to cry without tears, speechless, and deep down in my heart was even more desolate.
Now that I think about it, my author friend is really a psychology expert.
I don't know what to do in this situation.
In the future, gold diamonds should still be begged, but I just hope that everyone will stop brushing the comment "If you don't add more, I won't cast diamonds".
Because, I really add more every day!
Finally, ask for drills!
I want to be right!
