(Because my brain is more chaotic, my words may also be chaotic, and I lack reasonable logic, so it's good to understand)

Some time ago, my maternal grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. But don't worry about me, when your relatives reach this age, there are some things that you have to face. This experience also made me realize that physical health is the capital of the revolution, and I hope that all of you here will pay attention to your health with me. The brevity of life always makes me think about what I need to do and what I need to leave behind. When I was young, I always fantasized that I was an earth-shattering genius, and as I grew older, I had to admit that the vast majority of us were destined to make only relatively limited achievements in life.

Let's talk about the book.

In one sentence, it is "too big a step to the egg".

I decided that it was too long for me (millions of words), added too many whimsy, incorporated too many elements, set too broad but empty worldviews, but did not have the ability to control them, and as the number of words increased, the ability to control the rhythm and story line of the article became weaker and weaker.

Probably from your point of view, this book is pretty good. But in fact, the chase has been declining and has never risen, according to the standards given by the author group, it has long been "written down", and I can feel the rhythm problem in the writing process myself, but I don't know how to adjust.

If there is a regret medicine in the world, I should go to the complicated and simple, and design this article into a short essay of about 500,000 words at the beginning, and then delete some things that are too grandiose, so that it will not be as difficult to ride a tiger as later.

At that time, when I conceived the plot of "Lord is an Undercover Agent" and designed the outline for this story, I was proud and full of ambition, as if I had encompassed the universe and the universe in my chest.

This kind of excessive self-confidence is like a brave person in an RPG game who has just been taught by a newbie and thinks he has an insight into the rules of the game.

When I wrote "The Little Priest Contains the Divinity Weird", I still didn't know anything about the story and drama, but when the book was almost finished in the later stages of "The Little Priest", I began to take the initiative to learn about it and understand how others made up stories. After finishing the book, I summed up the lessons and absorbed a lot of experience.

In the process, I had many epiphanies, "Oh, that's what the story is", "That's how the appeal of the original story came about", "Oh, that's the contradiction". After many realizations, I had the illusion of overconfidence, thinking that I already knew the story strategy, and I had figured out all the doorways, and there would be no obstacles in the future.

But theory is one thing, practice is another. Moreover, writing is not an academic study, it is a field that emphasizes inspiration and irrational elements, and many times it is not possible to write well by theory alone.

Some of these problems are about my personal mentality, and many of them go back far beyond writing and have stayed with me for a long time in my life.

However, in view of the relationship between the author and the reader, everyone is probably not in the mood to listen to me talk about my own psychological problems, so I try to downplay the mental problems, mainly emphasizing the technical, specific, difficulties encountered in writing and lessons learned.

In the coming period, I will summarize a little questions, experiences and lessons every day to explain the obstacles, difficulties and bottlenecks I have encountered in the writing process.

In the future, I will sort out the development direction of the follow-up plot of "Lord is Undercover" and send it out.

- Let me also understand why I feel that my pen is not able to control it. TMD: How dare I design such an outline!

Anyway, in the subsequent plot development, there are still some things that I personally find interesting. Everyone should finish reading this book through the short video "Take You to Read XXX in Three Minutes".

By the way, because I'm personally susceptible to reviews and data, a few weeks after the book hit the shelves, I barely looked at the comments section, and at most looked at the opinions of readers in the group. But now that I go back and review it, maybe I should really take a look?
