Speech
When I wrote the last word, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and I felt deep regret while being relaxed. The novel "The Black Witch" is an atypical programmer's work, which adds a lot of experimental writing methods and thinking, and finally presents a finished product that is both satisfying and dissatisfying. Say satisfied, most of them are outside the novel, during this time I have made some changes in my life, a bit of Wang Yangming's dragon field enlightenment, and then bring these feelings and thoughts in life into the novel, many of them are tentative, basically still achieve the effect I want to express.
I am not satisfied, but the problem with this novel is still very big, and the most serious thing is that I found that I have lost some of the expression context of the grounding, I can't find it, and I am lost. As the protagonist becomes more and more powerful, the power system begins to be uncontrollable, like smoke in the wind, looking tangible but unable to grasp. The loss of control of the power system means that the story is also losing the expression that I am best at, Fan Wei, and then the characters are like walking a tightrope, with an abyss under their feet.
In fact, I am trying to make different attempts for each novel, and I feel very scared when I haven't written it well before. Now, I can think about it calmly and feel that this kind of attempt is still necessary.
The power system architecture of suspense supernatural novels has always been the biggest difficulty in this genre of novels. The protagonist has always been a sling, which can make readers have a more suspenseful and terrifying sense of substitution, but the characters have no growth, and they are written and written like this. Let the sling be bull's nose, it will inevitably destroy the suspense and horror atmosphere, those terrifying ghosts and gods, if they are not unknown forces, will appear. And once it appears, the novel's quality and charm will be lost by at least a third. The third person can at least use the narrative angle to seal the unknown forces in the black box, and the first person, because of the perspective problem, can only let the protagonist fight directly with the power, so some readers say, how does it look like martial arts.
I thought a lot about this and tried it, and the next novel should be more mature and better. I'm going to go back to the basic aesthetic of suspense and horror without losing the charm of my characters.
The current trend of supernatural novels, the traditional supernatural is not very popular, what grandparents leave a strange book, there is an old Taoist priest who accepts the protagonist as an apprentice, this kind of writing has belonged to the ancient elimination of writing, the most popular nowadays supernatural novels, which requires innovation everywhere, angle innovation, character innovation, story innovation, and not lose the elements of the supernatural novel itself, that is, suspense and horror, so the challenges in the future will become more and more difficult. Sometimes I think that if I don't write about such a theme, with experience and writing, write some novels that are more popular at the moment, gain timeliness, and catch up with traffic, there should be no problem, stick to the niche land of supernatural novels, work hard, and seem to miss a lot of opportunities. Later, I was relieved to think about it.,It seems that the novels are almost the same.,It's all codewords.,But it's really interlaced like a mountain.,The writing methods and requirements of different themes are different.,It's not that other categories can't be written.,But to write well.,You have to work hard to study it again.,And what you write may not be what you like.。
A playwright in Hollywood once said that what you write is deeply appealing to yourself before it appeals to others. After all, I have been immersed in suspense and supernatural novels for many years, and I dare not say what realm I have reached, but I still have some feelings and experiences, and what I have to do now is to have no distractions, so that the future stories will be more in line with the requirements of readers, conform to the times, and continue to improve.
A reader once said, programmer, why haven't you been writing for so long? Every writer can't be without ambition, and the slings in the pen are always holding back the counterattack, but this line of work is to look at the luck, what you have to do is to stick to the original intention, study and understand the novel as much as possible, write it well, and leave the rest to God.
I have written so much, it is all some professional topics, I think of what to say, the novel itself has ended, it has come to an end for the time being, we are still on the way, and we have to move on.
