A belated and long end-of-volume testimonial
The first volume is finally finished, so let's describe my current mood in a few words.
Tired.
Tired.
Super tired.
I remember someone said a long time ago that "writing a novel is to find guilt for yourself, and writing a novel is doomed to a dead end"
Now, I finally understand everything.
In fact, after writing more than 100,000 words, I can only say that this is really the case.
[Writing a novel, a dead end]
A dead end that doesn't know how far you have to go and how far you can go.
From the first stumbling of 2500 words, until the current 12.01w words, I have been writing for about a month and a half, and my heart is about to fail.
The collection repeatedly jumps horizontally.,Chasing is a pitiful single digit.,It's broken all day long.,At this time last week, I was persuaded to cut the book......
After going through all kinds of tribulations and countless mentalities, the rookie author finally ended the story of the first volume in a garbage way that was not explained clearly at all.
Congratulations, Coca-Cola.
I always feel that I should say something, and when this first volume is still hot at the end of this first volume, I should give the whole first volume a good criticism.
Hot.
The first is the title of the book.
Although the name is "Why My Youth Became a Romantic Comedy".
In fact, there is no shadow of a romantic comedy in this book, and after one-ninth of the book's (?), it still has nothing to do with the title.
Although it's a romantic comedy, it's a failure to write a plot that makes people laugh.
Maybe we should change the title of the book full of meaning and gimmicks? It's best to have the title of a book that people want to click in and read when they see it.
"Rebirth Tokyo: A Peerless Campus Romance That Begins with an Encounter with a Beautiful Girl? 》
Forget it, it's embarrassing that cancer is committed.
Naming cancer, the author is forever in pain.
Now the names of the two protagonists have also been decided after a lot of entanglements
[True Search] - まひろ, the pursuit of meaning is the pursuit of real things.
[Sayoko] - さよこ, a gentle and cute name that I like very much.
The names of the two protagonists are probably the most satisfying work I've done so far. (The surname is casual, because the two surnames Hoshino and Himenomiya also have an interesting behind-the-scenes crash)
Back to the point.
There is a high probability that the title of this book will be changed, but I haven't figured out what it will look like yet.
The romantic comedy may not have a relationship with me for the time being, the stalks that are played in order to write jokes consume too much effort, and the characters are not well shaped and the pursuit of the effect of the show is to abandon the basics.
Surely the tone of the book is definitely lighthearted, or is it warmly sad?
Anyway, the light novel, [A Story That Reads Easily and Pleasantly], I've made two major changes, and I've made countless minor changes just to cut out the heavy parts.
Love is light on daily life? Sounds great, and that's what this book is trying to do.
But I still hope that one day the god of fiction can give me a good title, otherwise I will have to rack my brain cells to think of a good title with a stalk and an allegorical meaning.
The second point is this beginning.
Although it hurts and is happy when I write it, the beginning of the story is very casual.
One day in September, when I was preparing a completely useless outline, I suddenly felt that I didn't know how to write the outline, so I simply decided to just open the book and take it one step at a time.
So, huh.
The book appeared.
The first novel worth remembering in life - "Why My Youth Became a Romantic Comedy" appeared.
The outline, which had been prepared for a long time, was torn out shortly after the book was opened, and almost everything except for the names of the characters was changed.
The story is improvised, the characters are improvised, and the random title of the book plus a funny synopsis plus a clichéd story that has been played badly.
The story is actually quite old-fashioned.,It's also quite boring to unfold.,The classic club happened to meet a beautiful girl.,And then a bunch of things happened in Balabala and then became intimate with the beautiful girl.。
It's old-fashioned and nothing new, and any book from the same period can kill me for hundreds of streets.
At the beginning of the story, "Hoshino Mahiro has a trouble", and then Balabala expands and talks.
Now it has reached the point where as long as there are two people, Hoshino Mahiro and Sayoko, two mouths, and one place can blow water and write daily life, and it is not far from the cross talk between the two of them that I expected.
But it's still a big problem at the beginning.
I remember the second big change, just an hour before the beginning was changed, an enthusiastic book friend pointed out the problem of boring at the beginning.
Right.
The beginning of the super sense of déjà vu, as the book friend said, always feel that where I have seen it better, so there is no need to read it.
About an hour after he finished speaking, I made up the current beginning.
It's a little bit better than before, but it's just a little bit, but it's still boring, and there's nothing interesting about reading a chapter like continuing to read it.
There's no way I'm limited in my abilities, and I don't want to sacrifice too much story logic for gimmicks.
It would definitely be better if you added a system or an obvious golden finger, on the one hand, it can increase the cool point and solve the logic of the plot on the other.
Settlement in every sense.
At the end of the day, the story is a classic BMG structure, where a boy meets a girl, and something happens.
Although it is not brilliant, it is natural that it will not make mistakes.
I used to write too many story backgrounds, and I destroyed the story structure and dug a bunch of holes for myself.
A conclusion was finally reached.
[Only write about the protagonist, don't have bells and whistles]
Fortunately, I deleted all the bells and whistles.
Relying only on the characters, language and actions, it's probably Sayoko's round after the 14-chapter overhaul
It's bland, but it's also an attempt.
If I had to write it again, I would definitely be able to write it a little better, about 22 percent better.
Forget it.
Making mistakes is also a helpless place in life.
All in all, unless I have the time to overhaul the first volume at the same time.
Otherwise, this is the only way to start
And then there's the specifics, such as:
【Litigation of Dual-Use Cards】
I'm sorry if the author's barren vocabulary has caused trouble to you, but even though I've tasted it many times, I still have to turn out the shame and warn myself.
The author's often used super dual-purpose card that can't be avoided - [Sayoko blinked]
I don't want to check how many times I use it myself, I want to use it every time I use it in the middle of a long conversation.
First appeared in the oldest chapter of the third.,There's even a special paragraph in the ultra-original version to describe the mental activity behind the wink.,Sayoko likes to make the other party nervous by pretending to be cute or something.,
It seems that I have deleted it, or left it in a different form.
There are also the three words Sayoko.
For some reason, Himenomiya Sayoko is too long, and it's not comfortable to add the word Himenomiya at all times.
After Himenomiya was omitted, it was [Sayoko]
Sayoko, a simple and cute name, is also very catchy to read.
It's just that the frequency is too high.
I forgot to write that when thirty-one or thirty-two, the three words Sayoko appeared with super high frequency.
Forty times?
So much so that I felt bad about it, and then I deleted it or replaced it with another word.
Girl, beautiful girl, someone, Miss Sayoko, who doesn't want to be named, eldest lady, the first beautiful girl in the world, black hair dango......
Anyway, it's just a way to adjust the narrative by yourself while coming in a different way.
The main reason is that I'm used to inserting some character movements into long dialogues, and now it seems a bit self-defeating.
I hope that in the second volume, the rookie author's writing style can be a little more pleasing.
Then there is the fourth point - the story of Nagi Izumi and Rokka Higuchi.
It's a shame to say, although the name Higuchi Rokka has the author's very good wishes on it [I didn't even have my own fan before I was born], but the specific background story has not been arranged.
There is no story in the air, it is probably a paper person who wanders inside and outside the story.
So when I wrote the eighth chapter, I arranged a story for her as soon as I made the version, and through the classic commissioned plot, I turned around to shape the male and female protagonists, and incidentally increased the importance of the supporting characters.
But now that I think back to that time, I only regret it.
I regret it.
The plot added on a whim greatly affected the original protagonist's plot, and it can't be deleted or dug up.
So there is such a story with no beginning and no end.
And Miss Izumi Nagi, Izumi Nagi is more entangled than Higuchi Rokuka.
Izumi Nagi is also a character who came up with a pat on the head.,This name is the name left over from the original manuscript I wrote four years ago.,
It's easy to use, take it and use it.
Alas, after all, it is still difficult to settle, and there will be a chance to write a little more in the future.
The next plan is to write a chapter tomorrow, tentatively the story of Miss Narrator.
I hope to write a little lighter.,It's not a strong sense of sight.。
Then there is the outline of the second volume, which is mainly a series of stories that happened during the Golden Week holiday.
It will probably be a long plot, and the time has come to test the storytelling ability of the rookie author.
Interspersed with some daily plots that I have wanted to write for a long time.
For example, the ghost card for two people, table tennis on the desk, truth or dare, punishment game, love miscellaneous fish test......
There are also open fanwai pits, all kinds of if lines.
If I can, Izumi Nagi's story still wants to write a little more, and it's best to let everyone like cats and girls too, and by the way, let Higuchi Rokka evolve into my ideal Higuchi Damyojin.
With the help of daily work, I will make up for the things I have been wanting to watch for a long time.,For example, the life of the electric light king.,There's a series of it.,Anyway, things related to daily love have to be made up.。
Even if it's water, sugar water is better than water.
After explaining the general thing, I will say a digression
Last Friday, the editor suggested that the book be cut.
That day was really bad, and after being uncomfortable for a while, I recovered.
There is only one and countless times to break the defense, so get used to it in advance
After all, it's my first book.,If you cut it like this, it doesn't seem like you can hold on to it in the future.。
Writing as much as you can and never being a prisoner is the pursuit of new authors.
That's it, today's update will be made up on which day.
The character is probably reliable. I paid everything I owed before.
