Because it's been a bit of a Kavin in the past two days, I've thought about a lot of things, and I've read a lot of articles.

When I saw this question, the first focus in my mind was "qualified", everyone has different criteria for defining qualification, the profession of novel author, he has no hard standards, it is super fast to get started, and everyone can do it.

However, has everyone done the word "qualified"? Take myself as an example, I don't have any skills, my cultural literacy is not very high for the time being, and my experience is not enough.

As a newcomer to the online literature industry, I actually don't have high requirements for myself, and it is enough to complete the daily update requirements.

I never dared to ask for a book to be a god, because I was not worthy.

I know too well that I'm not qualified yet.

I can afford this "novel author", but I don't think I'm worthy of the word qualified.

Everyone is judged to be qualified, their standards are different, there are 1000 Hamlets in 1000 people, so I don't know the full picture of the whole picture.

Comrade Xiaobai still has a long way to go.

So what foundation do I think a qualified fiction writer should have?

I found a lot of information on this question.

1. Text reading

For example, a writer is like a power bank

The so-called input will have output.

If you don't get enough "power", when your current writing momentum is over and you are exhausted, you will feel more than you can handle.

Due to his insufficient literary reserves, he did not write long and was not stunning enough, and the article was overshadowed.

It not only does not attract newcomers, but also discourages old readers.

Therefore, first of all, you should pay attention to your own literary reading. If you haven't had it before, start now. And no matter how hard and tiring the writing is, you have to find time to read him for a few hours a day.

Quantity is not required, but quality must not be left behind.

If you think you can do it, try to spend a little more time reading. But there are two principles to follow.

Grab at least one short paragraph of the sentence you appreciate at a time (analyze his construction, wording, and rhetoric a little more)

If it's a famous book or a good article, then read it at least twice. Read quickly for the first time to understand the general situation. The second slow reading, dissecting the details, and considering the way to write.

Here I recommend reading more famous works at home and abroad to understand how the great gods describe the perfect world in his mind.

You can also see more about how other writers, and other people, write novels. However, borrowing is borrowing, and it must not be plagiarized.

II. Keep the article flowing and standardized

Perhaps what readers hate the most is punctuation, typos, paragraphs, and other basic mistakes in the article.

Because this really makes OCD people a little painful.

And it adds an additional risk:

Some of the bars say how you write here and there, and a lot of balabala just to pronounce death for your articles.

Although there is no guarantee that no one will spray after these bases are dealt with, at least it can reduce somewhat.

Tips: It is recommended to quickly read and check silently after writing a chapter to see if it reads smoothly and if there are any mistakes.

III. Write an outline

Before writing an essay, it is best to make an outline. Or clear your mind and think about what you're going to write, such as:

Background of the story (the world view of the novel)

This is very important, which directly leads to whether the reader is interested in continuing to read, and the title and subject matter should be novel, and try not to be similar to other novels

2. The main story line (throughout the whole text)

It is better that the full text has a purpose, otherwise it is just a plate of scattered sand, where you want to write, so it is just a patchwork

3. Role positioning (distinct personality)

The character character is also very important, and the character of the protagonist should not be floating, otherwise it will be mistaken for snake spirit disease......

But if it's a long novel, then it's best not to be set in stone, because it's too old-fashioned to eat jujube pills.

Proper control of the character's personality and identity will have a surprising and winning effect. For example: the protagonist group has a mole (the routine has been a long time, be cautious to imitate)

Character characteristics need to be innovative, but imitation is easy, but creation is difficult. The classic feature is that there are three men ♂, one woman ♀, and one special

There are many characters that use this type of character construction, such as: Doraemon, Amazing Ayo, and Charles IX

The above is the foundation that I think the writer should understand, and the higher level needs to be more tempered by yourself. Experience is precious, and never repeat the mistakes of someone else's failures.

---The above information comes from the author of Zhihu, three teas and two cups.

This is what I think a good fiction writer should have, but unfortunately, I can't achieve one of the above three points yet, there is still a long way to go, and there is much more to be done.

I started online writing when I was in the fourth or fifth grade, but the only one I really took seriously, I wrote a lot of things on other platforms, and there were four or five books that I put together, but they were all eunuchs, and this one I thought you couldn't write, so you had to write it hard and force yourself.

This is the only book that has been taken seriously so far, in fact, to put it mildly, it was because I loved joining this industry, but then you slowly smoothed out the edges and corners, because well, it may be a lot of times when you are poured cold water.

However, being poured cold water and being rejected is a necessary way for newcomers, and most of the newcomer authors come in with dreams at the beginning, and the authors will fantasize that they can become gods with a book. But that's just a fantasy.

However, don't be discouraged if you are rejected, if the big platform is rejected, then we will start with the small platform, there is always a platform for you.

The most important word for newcomer authors is persistence, steady updates, persistence, slowly, slowly your writing will be good, and your fans will slowly accumulate, so don't be in a hurry.

Alas, I'm not a senior, I'm just going to tell you about the pit I've walked in, and you can listen to it, and it doesn't matter if you don't accept it.

(I think I'm just completely overthinking, I still don't have readers, and even the only collection is my own account, mom, so sad.) )

In short, the threshold of the current online article bar is indeed relatively low, so many students can get started directly, you have to have a positioning for yourself first, not too high or too low, don't be overconfident, if you are too confident, you will be very frustrated if you are rejected. Don't feel inferior, feel that your writing is not good, so you probably don't even dare to contribute.

In short, I hope you can persevere, endure hardships on the road of online writing, not only hone your writing, but also develop a lot of good habits, come on!

I hope to get through it all, and the stars are shining.
