First: about the results of this book

After posting this paragraph, I will apply for the completion in the background work management.

This passage is addressed to book lovers who have invested in this book.

More than 1,000 investors, from the beginning to the end.

The book was released on May 24, put on the shelves on July 10, and completed on November 1.

In total, more than 5 months, if you remove the time for leave and interruption in the middle, it is almost 4 months and 20 days, and the whole book is 700,000 words.

Looking back, it's not easy.

As for why I chose to finish now, the main reason is that my grades are not good, and I can't write.

From the copy of Liaozhai to the present, I have insisted on it in one breath, just for the sake of finishing the book, in order to have a beginning and an end, and I have persevered for 2 more months.

Some time ago, I was annoyed, I said that I couldn't write if my grades were not good, but as a result, a book friend on both sides of QQ Book City and Seven O'clock Reading posted a post criticizing me, saying that my poor grades were caused by my poor writing, and I asked me not to dump the pot.

I've refined both of these book reviews.

All right.

I reorganized the language, and I didn't write well enough to get bad grades, and then I couldn't write anymore.

That's pretty much all it takes.

In fact, when the copy of Liaozhai collapsed, the author in the group said let me cut it quickly, and I didn't cut it to drink the northwest wind? Then I said that I insisted on finishing the transcript of the chat.

When I waited for the first copy of Xiaoao, there was no obvious improvement in my grades, and they persuaded me to cut it, but I didn't agree, so I still insisted on finishing Xiaoao.

In their words, I am very stubborn, I don't listen to people's advice, and I deserve to hit the street.

Business writers, writing books for money, it's shameful to waste your time and energy.

That's why people's monthly manuscript fees are dozens of times that of me.

We also admit it, and we must stand up when we are beaten.

Next, let's talk about the current manuscript fee of this book, I don't know if I can say this thing.

On the shelves on July 10th, a total of 20 days in the month, the manuscript fee is 1600, of which 600 is rewarded, there is 600 together with a league leader and sporadic ones, and the pure manuscript fee of this site is about 1000 in the month.

In August, I wrote a copy of Liaozhai, because the results hit the street, the mentality was unstable, and I took a leave of absence for about 8 days, and the chase fell to 80, and I almost didn't cross this hurdle, and the manuscript fee for this site was 1300 that month, no reward, no full attendance.

In September, the copy of Liaozhai was finished, and I began to write Xiaoao.

The results are the same as the collapse, the manuscript fee is a total of 1800, including 1000 manuscript fees for this site, 200 group channel fees (QQ over there), 600 semi-annual awards.

No tipping, no full attendance.

The statistics of the manuscript fee for October have not yet come out (today on the 3rd), and it may not be seen until the afternoon or evening, so I will not wait.

Blind guess the appearance of 3000, of which the manuscript fee of this site is about 1500, the full attendance is 1000, the group channel is 300 (over there in QQ Book City), the semi-annual award is 200, and there is no reward.

The reason why there is a little more this month is because of the start of the new full attendance, that is, the serial works are all set at more than 500, and if the 4000 words are constantly updated every day, there will be 1000 full attendance per month, which was 600 before.

So I used 2 chapters of leave slips and took full attendance for the first time in my life.

Why didn't I take full attendance before?

In September, the mentality was unstable, almost cut, off for seven or eight days, the leave was not enough, as for August, I was thinking about the early order to 1000, I didn't think about the full attendance, July was on the 10th on the shelves de, this month full attendance will definitely not be available.

This is my result for 4 months on the shelf, a total of 1600 + 1300 + 1800 + 3000 = 7700.

Because the manuscript fee for the fourth month is a blind guess, this value will fluctuate up and down by a few hundred, and may be more than 8,000 together.

In the fourth month, I ate a full attendance and a limited free recommendation, so the manuscript fee will be a little more, not every month.

Hundreds of books that are ordered to the shelves will generally not be included in the editor's eyes, unless you can go all the way to more than 1,000,000 words and more than 1,000 words, and then you will start to arrange recommendations.

So, everyone has also seen it, there is a sentence that says, persuade people to write books, the sky thunders, and you can understand it yourself.

By the way, when this book was put on the shelves, 380 were ordered, 460 were ordered, 710 were ordered, and 2100 were high-end.

Second: The writing process of the four copies

Many book friends say that I drove high and walked low, and my writing collapsed.

I thought about it, where did I fall to the ground?

It's not that I'm regressing the more I write, it's not that I'm messing with the word count, but I obviously feel like I'm improving.

So what's the problem?

The character is unstable, the power system is unstable, and the style of the dungeon is changed back and forth.

Actually, the main thing is the third.

Changed the style of the copy.,As a result, your writing technique also has to be adjusted.,For example, writing a chat with the same people.,You must add some suspense and thriller factors into it.,The protagonist can't open God's perspective.,So ...... Some say that the main character's IQ has become lower.

My idea at the time was very simple, I wanted to write different styles of copies for everyone to see, and at the same time, each copy, as original as possible, which was a high demand for me, and I didn't do it well.

Writing about Water Margin martial arts is the first time I have written a copy of this style.

Writing about military history is also my first time writing.

Write about the same people,It's still the first time.。

I'm constantly trying, trying to find the style that suits me best and makes everyone like the most, and this book is equivalent to paying tuition, and I have gone wrong in my constant exploration.

In short, I paid a lot of tuition fees and learned a lot of things, almost.

Let's recap.

The first copy of the chat, when the book was opened to the book, it was only a week, the initial idea was to write an original Water Margin story, I didn't check much information, just do it.

Then I didn't think about it carefully, and I wrote a poisonous point in chapter 14, that is, I didn't kill Sun Erniang, which caused a group of people to spray me with three wrong views and a problem with my character.

At that time, it was the critical moment to test the water recommendation and decide whether a book could be promoted, and my manuscript was basically consumed, whether to stop and revise, or continue to write, I couldn't take care of it due to my limited energy, so I chose the latter.

Keeping 2 more every day is the most basic respect for book lovers who chase books, in short, it is the lesser of two evils.

If you make a mistake, you may be able to go on, if you stop and revise, the main line in front and the outline in the back will be changed, at least 2 days, and you may be hanging up when you test the water.

Because of this, my mentality was almost blown apart, and then I set a fan value greater than 100 to speak, and it was also because of this.

At that time, the daily push dropped by one-third, and as a result, the end of the sixth frequency did not advance to Sanjiang, which also determined the tragedy of the book, and of course, there was the reason why the second copy was not written.

If I had to go back and do it again, I would probably have chosen it this way under the circumstances.

Tou Tie's life is full of lessons and blood and tears.

I'm here to explain why it's called 'Hero's Journey', the background of the Water Margin, when the author wrote it was the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when the Han people rebelled everywhere in order to overthrow the rule of the Mongols, and the author definitely couldn't write about the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, afraid of 404, so he wrote the Song Dynasty, borrowing the past to satirize the present.

In such a context, those who dare to rebel are heroes.

In fact, my hero's journey only refers to the first copy of the Water Margin, and the later ones should be renamed 'The Journey of the Old Demon' or 'The Journey of the Great Demon King', but it's very troublesome to change the title of the book, and it is troublesome to edit, so I didn't change it.

In the final analysis, it was a rush to choose the title of the book.

Why do I say I'm improving now?

If I were to write about the Water Margin now, I would definitely be 'kill when I should kill, and collect when I should collect', not looking forward and backward, and making a bloody journey, which is in line with the elements of Shuangwen.

It's a pity that there's no turning back, it's a small pity.

Writing the copy of the Three Kingdoms, the second copy I prepared at that time was a modern Hong Kong comprehensive copy, the first half of which was a prison scene, and the second half was similar to the old boy or something.

It is how the protagonist helps the prison Fengyun Fa Ge escape from the arrow prison.

Because I was transferred from an ancient style dungeon to an urban low-martial arts dungeon, I was worried that the style would change too much and cause the street to hit the streets, so I temporarily chose the Three Kingdoms dungeon halfway.

The fundamental reason is that rookie authors are not confident and are easily affected by external factors.

I didn't get ready, and the copy was not written, but in one sentence to describe the feeling of writing at that time, that is, I was flying a kite on the ground, and I felt that the whole person was flying up by the kite, that is, it was out of my personal control, resulting in many plots that I followed the original book again.

The strange thing is that at that time, the average booking was in the early 400s, and the 24-hour daily follow-up booking was about 380.

I realized a truth from here, writing about the heavenly streams, the choice is really greater than the effort.

If you choose the wrong dungeon, you will lose the whole game.

Since the second dungeon chose the ancient style, then the third dungeon can only go one way to the end and continue the ancient style, so there is a Chinese ghost story.

Later, I thought about it, A Chinese Ghost Story is tired of being written, and there is no new idea, how to write something new? I used A Chinese Ghost Story as an introduction to write about the search for Nie Xiaoqian's reincarnation, combined with a few small passages from Liaozhai.

A total of four short stories were written: "Corpse Transformation", "Water Manless Ghost", "Fox Demon and Weasel", and "Colored Fox".

At that time, the 24-hour chase fell to about 80, that is to say, the daily increase was almost about 30 yuan, and the spirit of the whole person was on the verge of collapse.

I wrote about the same people for a month and a half, and the whole process was a walking corpse.

The fourth dungeon is proud of the rivers and lakes, and I don't think I made a mistake in choosing this dungeon.

Why?

Because Xiaoao's story is the simplest, and the popularity is also a little, a simple story, suitable for me to create.

I removed all the miscellaneous scenes of Ling Hu Chong and the disciples and grandchildren of the Demon Sect, such as the six immortals of Taoyuan, which is a scene of a power struggle, and it is still finished.

When I was writing about Xiaoaojianghu, I clearly felt that I was improving, and I had an epiphany.

This can be regarded as a little gain of my persistence.

Looking back at these four copies, I am most satisfied with Water Margin and Xiaoao, retaining the story line of the original book, and at the same time processing half of the story line myself, the whole process is under control, and the interaction between the protagonist and the original characters has also been written.

The Three Kingdoms copy is not well prepared.,Caused by the original book to be chased and run.,Messed up the rhythm.,Liaozhai Tongren is at a loss.,The results are too poor.,I don't know what's wrong for a while.。

Here's my mindset journey with 4 copies written.

Thirdly: about what is newly written

At the moment, I have prepared a lot of new book starts, many of which are half chapters or chapters, just an idea, and there are five or six options on the list.

As an older author, brain holes have never been my specialty, and I can't do it.

At present, the first place is a random group portrait dungeon, with infinite variants, inspired by a card game 'Hero Kill', which is a native who wishes to time and space to catch fast, and when chasing the flower thief, he kills the latter, and then a nameplate drops from the latter.

After the protagonist gets the nameplate, he is summoned to a mysterious space, which has many time-travelers, some of whom are historical celebrities with their own natural skills, and some of whom are modern players.

Since it is an infinite stream, the feature is not the protagonist VS plot characters, but the player VS player, so the protagonist uses his natural skills to knead these historical celebrities together to form a temporary team, go to the dungeon to do tasks, and also face the resistance of the player team.

By the way, the protagonist's natural skill is 'poisoned milk', that is, who dies of milk, inspired by Song Jiang, in terms of personality, "I'm greedy for money, I'm lustful, I'm afraid of death, and I like to take advantage of others, but no one wants to deny it...... I'm a nice guy who loves to help my peers. ”

"Whenever my companions are in crisis, I will always be enthusiastic to cheer everyone up, kiss it, we can win."

The strange thing is that the heroes and heroes who have been helped by the protagonist's 'enthusiasm' have all been inexplicably unlucky one by one, and finally accidentally become martyrs, leaving behind the wealth and cheats that they have painstakingly accumulated.

Anyway, that's what I think at the moment, whether to choose this copy or not, it's a matter of two words.

The promotion of the Heavenly Stream to the Infinite Stream will face a great challenge, not to mention anything else, just the fact that there is more data will kill people, and if you don't do it, you will hit the street.

I'm a liberal arts student, and I'm worried that I won't be able to handle the power system well.

The second choice is the Journey to the West as the original background of the Heavenly Stream, the protagonist traveled to the Journey to the West, met the Tang Seng who learned the scriptures, and then became the big apprentice, with the help of the golden finger, with the second senior brother and the third junior brother to learn the scriptures together.

The protagonist will transform the entire scripture-learning team, first of all, Tang Seng will become crisis-conscious, for example, when he fights the white bone spirit three times, Tang Seng jumped out first, "I think this old woman behaves strangely, where does the people in the wilderness come from, it must be changed by monsters." ”

made the honest man Sha Monk have a rebellious mentality, "Why am I going to turn into a fate again, why doesn't the second senior brother go?" ”

Let Zhu Bajie become more courageous under the temptation of deliciousness, "Oh yes, hurry up and finish fighting the monsters, go back to eat the barbecue of the senior brother, monsters, eat my nail rake." ”

Then a big monster called Monkey King suddenly popped out in front of him, "Leave Tang Seng and spare you from dying." ”

There will be some daily life involved, and the protagonist must travel to other worlds and collect wish points everywhere to activate the golden finger and help Tang Seng get through the difficulties.

To put it simply, the protagonist doesn't know mana, but he is good at pretending to be forced, encountering difficulties, solving difficulties through the golden finger, fighting monsters and upgrading, and telling some stories about the daily life of the team.

I'll add a meme to it.

These two ideas have been told to the editor, the editor said that it is not interesting, I am also very hesitant, or I plan to write tens of thousands of words at the beginning of the article to the editor to see, then if tens of thousands of words test the water, directly apply for 404 in the background, don't blame everyone, this belongs to the basic exercise, haha.

The remaining 2 choices, one is the alien beast flow of the lion brothers, the environment changes, the animals have become more ferocious, they do not change their bodies and do not turn into people, there is no particularly big golden finger, the original animal world of man and nature.

At seven o'clock, there was a very classic book of lion beasts, it is said to be written by a female author, the style is very delicate, I made a micro-innovation, writing about the lion brothers.

In the past two or three years, people and nature on several video sites have basically been watched by me, and I have come to write lions at my fingertips, and I don't need to check the information at all, if it doesn't work, I'll write killer whales, and this is basically no one writes, but it's very difficult, and you have to check a lot of information.

In the past three years, I have basically rarely watched movies, mainly because my eyes are too picky, many of them have been watched, and I basically don't watch them below 8.0, I feel that I have watched them all, and the most watched is man and nature, among which all the videos of lions are basically watched, and the second thing I love to watch is killer whales and beluga whales, especially those that beluga whales scare children.

There is another option to continue to write about the heavens.,Standing still.,Write a little achievement.,Of course,This time you may write a copy of the heavens in the same style.,At present, there are 3 choices for the same style.,Hong Kong comprehensive、Martial arts comprehensive copy、Marvel Heavens copy,There is also a copy of the Japanese manga of One Piece of the Hokage,4 choices,Marvel I can't write,Natural lack of substitution,Anime copy I'm older.,I can't write the tone of the second dimension.,In the end, there are 2 choices left.。

I will most likely choose to innovate and write different things, first of all, the author himself will lose his passion, for an author who likes to head iron, there is no passion to write a hammer.

If it's for the sake of grades, I have another choice, that is, to pick up the outline of the Fire Book and follow the trend to write a similar one, which is the last choice.

I hope I don't become like that.

I have told you a few ideas for the new book, but they are just ideas, which one to choose, and how to write them, which has not yet been decided.

There will be a break of about 1-3 months, that is, new books will be released within 3 months.

Friends who have bookmarked, please don't remove the bookshelf for the time being, the new book will be notified here after it is released, I'm afraid I'll break up with everyone while walking.

Then I couldn't find it.

Announce the book friend group QQ group 252667937.

At present, there are more than 100 people in the group, and the atmosphere is very good.

There are often 3 activities, the first is to share 5-8 books that can be invested with you every month, I have an author group, and there are often new books in the group, all of which have been voted in, anyway, I am at the bottom of my author group.

There are more than 10 high-quality authors of all kinds, and there are five or six authors who have been ordered by 10,000 people, like me, hundreds of orders are on the shelves, and I usually don't dare to speak loudly in the group, so as not to be taught by the big guys.

The second is to often play the glory of kings with everyone.,QQ side,I'm a star player.,Yesterday I brought a few silver book friends 5 rows.,I couldn't take it.,Overturned.,Alas,It's too difficult.。

The third is to communicate with you at any time about how to write a new book, and announce my personal book release trends, if you still have some expectations for the author's new book, let's add a group.

There are few people, good management, and the atmosphere is not bad.

Finally, thanks to the 2 editors of Sci-Fi, Blu-ray and Deer Ming.

Thank you for the 100 or so book friends who follow up every day, there are many of you who don't like to post and talk, and they don't add book friend groups, just read silently, I understand, because I'm also an old book friend.

Thank you to the book friends who voted for me at seven o'clock and QQ, I am familiar with many people's vests, if I can meet in the book friend group, I will personally say thank you to you.

Thank you to the book friends who have supported this book for a while, no matter what, you have accompanied me through a journey, it is I who am not angry, I have not written well, my pot.

Hopefully my next book will be better than this one.

The south wind knows my intentions, blowing dreams to Xizhou, I wish everyone to be happy every day, and all wishes come true.

This is my first book on the shelves, and it's a pity that it's 1 million words and 700,000 words after I stick to it.

Well, let's not talk about it.

See you in the next book.
