How to write a good novel beginning:

The beginning of the novel is different from the beginning of the essay, and the most taboo is the mediocre sentences and the serial ratio. For new works, the quality of the beginning will most directly affect the reader's reading interest and the quality of the novel. In this regard, hoarding rats have sorted out several good ways for you to start, please pay attention.

1. Language as a beginning. [Recommended, simple and easy to use]

(1). Create a tense atmosphere: set a tense situation for the protagonist, so that the reader is immersed in it, and involuntarily wants to know the ending of the protagonist.

Example sentence: "What's that?!" Exam tonight?! Haozi, Haozi! Help me! The answer is up to you! ”

"Help?! I see you say it's terrible! Lao Tzu didn't review yesterday, so go cool on the last side! ”

"It's over, it's over, it's cold and transparent this time!"

(2). Pathos shouting and roaring: let the protagonist fall into an emotional abyss, so that readers can empathize with it.

Example sentence: "Why, why!" Am I not even as good as a maid in your heart? xxx's heart shattered into powder in an instant.

(3). Ordinary life: start with daily life, so that readers can't help but think of themselves.

Example sentence: "Hey, xxx, have you heard, so-and-so cosmetics are 20% off today!" ”

"Huh? It's true?! ”

(4). Reverse order - ending: the beginning is the fragment of the finale, starting from the introduction of memories into the text.

Example sentence: "It's over... Is it? xx clutched his wound and was stunned.

"Huh, what do you say?" xxx tilted his head, and the sword was thrown aside.

"Ahhh I knew that that old thing was going to be kicked to death by us sooner or later! What's that called, no do no die! ”

"Poof! I think you're quite capable of doing it, maybe I'll kick you to death one day! ”

"Hey, hey, did you say that, brother? Beware of no friends! ”

"Friends? yes, I don't have any friends. xxx glanced at xx with disgust.

"I'm ......!"

"It's dawn." xxx pointed to the horizon and was stunned.

The horizon in the distance reveals the long-lost whiteness of the fish's belly, piercing the eyes, and it makes people proudly exist.

"You say, what would have happened if we hadn't joined the army in the first place?"

"Huh!?" xx froze for a moment, and after a long time, he turned his head and smiled, "But we would have chosen this path before, wouldn't we?" ”

"yes, it's still ......"

(Don't ask why the hoarding rat example is so long, ask is inspiration!! οΌ‰

2. Scene as the beginning.

(1). Time style: the opening point out the time, directly bring in.

Example sentence: xx year x month x day may be the most memorable day of my life. On that day, it was as if the whole world had collapsed.........

(2). Time + place: explain the time and place, generally starting with a major event.

In 32 xx, XX issued a coup d'Γ©tat, and the whole country fell into darkness.

(3). Time + place + character: explain the time and place of the person, and introduce the text.

Example sentence: It should be the early morning many years later, the leader of the Wanzong Alliance xx and the generation of sword saints xx stood on the top of the mountains together, overlooking the entire Canglong Kingdom.

3. Quote the beginning: Quote poems, nursery rhymes, and legends as the beginning.

Example sentence: "Huangquan sends people into dust, and a bowl of Meng soup forgets its predecessor." Count the beads of agarwood and read it, and there is no Amitaba night in the south. ”

"I'm tired of making soup for so long. xx, from tomorrow onwards, my Meng Pozhuang will be under your control, and it can be regarded as grinding your frizzy temperament. ”

Of course, there is more to the beginning than that, hoarding rats is just a simple summary of the more commonly used ones. There are thousands of beginnings in the novel, and the content is not good. For the content of the novel, the most troublesome thing is that the various descriptions are not in place, which leads to the emptiness of the content, no sense of substitution and frequent jumping. It reads as follows:

One. Environmental Description:

1. Seasonal introduction: For the beginning of the chapter or the end of a plot paragraph, you can try to insert the corresponding season as the introduction of the plot, and the sentence structure can be: season + a certain scenery (such as flowers and trees, rain, snow, wind and frost) + character actions.

Example sentence: In the early autumn, the sun is still very warm, xx sits on the lawn, planning to take a nap here and get a good night's sleep.

2. Verbal insertion: suitable for expressing emotions, the sentence structure can be: the character speaks "the weather is sunny (or rain, snow, wind)" + the current situation of the scene said by the character + psychological (or action) description.

Example sentence: "It's snowing." "xx was a little distracted for a while. The light snow on the stars fell on her shoulder, she didn't speak, rubbed her red little hands, and left.

3. Geographical description: choose a place name and start describing it. The sentence structure can be: place name + description of region-specific products.

Example sentence: The abyssal swamp can be described as an extreme existence in the continent, the swamp giant tree that is 5 people tall is entangled by various poison ivy, forming a huge net, look carefully, countless rotting corpses are hanging on it, very terrifying.

2. Linguistic Description:

Common sentence patterns used in language description:

1. "........." (direct dialogue) [Dialogue between two people, simple and easy to use]

2.XX said: "........." (someone said) [the most common one, not recommended]

3. "........." XX said. (Someone said) [Nice sentence structure, can be commonly used]

4. "......", action description "......" (dialogue plus description) [very good sentence structure, but also difficult]

How to make language vivid:

For this problem, the hoarding rat suggestion is (1) Start by determining the character's personality, and the character's language follows the character.

(2). Make an exclusive mantra for the character.

(3). Add funny sentences as appropriate, or set up a character with a sense of humor, and let him interject from it.

(4). Introduce the current buzzwords appropriately, but not too much.

Three. Action Description:

How to write a good action description? Here's how:

(1). Accumulate more action nouns to create an exclusive thesaurus. (2). Watch a number of action movies, analyze the fight scenes, and practice more.

(3). Action descriptions are interspersed with language descriptions.

Four. Appearance, psychology, demeanor description: for these kinds of descriptions, they do not have a fixed sentence structure, if you want to improve this technique, the only suggestion is - read more books, read more newspapers, go to sleep less and ask for more advice!

The above is the collation of the various descriptions of hoarding rats at the beginning of the novel, and all the content is for reference only, after all, I am also a budding (manual funny).

This is my first time writing, I hope you will give some suggestions and encouragement, I didn't think about recommendations and monthly passes, just ask you to really like it, thank you!
