The following summary contains spoilers, and it is not recommended for friends who have not finished reading the first part, otherwise it will significantly affect the reading experience:

Different books, the structure and meaning of each one must be different, when I first thought about the fateful plot, I had the idea that the first part should be an introduction, a prologue, what it needs to do is to show the past few years, what the current world looks like, and what major changes have been made compared with the mystery, what is needed is to roughly set up the image of the protagonist of this part, that is, Lumian, and then slowly carve it, what is needed is to bury some key clues with enough importance.

After having an idea, it's a question of how to implement it, I didn't have any preset position at the beginning, and I found inspiration through a lot of reading, ideation, and playing games.

I played for less than half an hour, and I couldn't stand the severe 3D vertigo, so I had to give up, but then I went to station B and Zhihu to brush up on relevant videos and articles, and completed the clearance in this way (not.

Then, I thought, this way of telling a story in a symbolic and metaphorical way is very interesting, and it also has a special feeling of psychedelic chaos and detachment, and the temperament is quite in line with what I want to grasp and want to show.

With such a thought, I decided to play some flower work in the first part of my fate.

People, there are always people who are impulsive to die, they always don't know how many pounds and taels they have, and they want to challenge everything, but life is so short, how boring it should be to keep repeating yourself.

Moreover, I haven't played with symbols and metaphors, such as the part of the dream in the arcane, which uses the interpretation of dreams to symbolize the characters' personalities, tendencies, and ideas.

So I think this time, it can still be in the form of a dream, but it can't be just a dozen chapters, it can't be a superficial taste, it can't be limited to the mapping of Lumian's self-psychology, it is necessary to deconstruct the story that has happened, abstract it into various symbolic and different metaphorical elements, and reassemble and stitch it together with the bridges, conjectures and speculations that Lumian has seen, and present it in front of everyone with a sufficiently complete bright story.

Guys, that's interesting, I'm telling a story like this, but it's actually a story, and it's really interesting from the creator's point of view.

But as a web article, I have to guarantee readability and usefulness.

The former refers to the fact that the author can't play high, and the reader is confused and can't read it, which requires that the restructured story be told in an easy-to-understand and interesting way, and some clues and some abnormal places should be thrown out in a simpler and more straightforward form, so that when the flip is turned later, the reader will have a feeling of "it is", rather than "what are you TM writing".

The latter refers to the fact that you can't write a hundred or so chapters and tell everyone that this is a dream of the protagonist, then there will inevitably be readers who have the idea of "what's the point of this", so this one can't just tell what has happened in a symbolic and metaphorical way, and it must play a more important role in the story structure of the whole book.

Therefore, after the chapter of the broken dream, I have to immediately use flashbacks and "reports" to tell you that this one is not only deconstructing the protagonist's heart and giving him the endogenous motivation to act later, but also that many plots have symbolic meanings, metaphors for other things, and there are many clues buried in them, which are very important for the development of the later text and the development of the story, not just a simple dream.

In this sense, the part of "Nightmare" is indeed an introduction, and I will fill in the holes left slowly, and the most important one may have to be solved in the penultimate or even the second part.

Let's continue to talk about the idea of creation and the practice of putting it into practice:

After deciding what I wanted for the first part, I didn't start writing for a long time, because I was lazy, because I hadn't finished reading the information, because it was still early to open the book, until it was mentioned in the testimonials on the shelves, I threw a few titles to the starting point and let them choose for themselves, and their choices will determine the second path of Lumian, and determine the direction of some stories.

They chose the "Circle of Fate", I looked at it, "The Circle of Fate Ah ......", touched my chin, the first part can add the element of the cycle, the before and after comparison of some things is also symbolic, and more elements can effectively improve the reading.

At this point, the idea was completely finalized, but what was written at the beginning was not what everyone sees now, but the story that happened on the real timeline, including every important detail.

I named it "Solid".

After having a solid line, it is to extract the key plot and details, and then combine elements such as dreams and loops to make up the story on the surface, that is, the "bright line".

In this process, sometimes the key plot is symbolized and metaphorized first, and then put it into the story, using Aurel's bridge and Lumian's conjecture to eliminate the incongruous parts, and sometimes there is a bright story first, and then consider which solid plot to put in and how to symbolize, in short, it is a process of bringing the two ends closer.

With that done, there's the step of marking the writing notes.

What does that mean? That is to say, the main points of writing certain characters and certain stories, for example, the annotation of the three investigators is normal, and the annotation of Aurel is "the beautification of the impression of Lumian, the repeated presentation of deep memories, the bridging and stitching of some details in the bridge, the certain display of abnormal behavior, and the later cycle is more real and self-thinking", etc., etc., etc.

Later, in the outline submitted to the starting point for review, I deleted all the explanations of all the metaphorical symbols of the "solid line", leaving only the "bright line", and I didn't want anyone to know the answer before my story was finished, even if it was edited.

Thinking about this clearly, it's time to officially write.

Many readers often have a question, is there such a perfect outline setting, and the follow-up is purely based on this?

The answer is impossible, inspiration will be there at any time, and sometimes if you don't write a certain plot, you can't find a better follow-up at all.

An example is written about the other world, when the two siblings, Aurore and Lumian, faced with many undead.

On the one hand, I put in a relatively simple symbolic form the key point of Aurel's push away from the lumian, and on the other hand, I think about how to fill in the rest of the content and details.

Obviously, in "Solid Line", Aurel only says the phrase "my, note", so more details of the dialogue and the development of the story need to be imagined by Lumian himself, and he can find inspiration from Aurel.

After much thought, I finally decided to improve the plot by comparing the two dimensions and the blood, and I thought at the time that this would be a good reflection of this dream, and part of the bridge originated from this.

But I also know that this will definitely make many readers uncomfortable, after all, it is really different from the overall painting style, and it is too ancient to sensationalize.

I thought about it and thought, limited by time, I really didn't think of a better way to deal with it, so I could only write it like this, but in the process of thinking, I felt that this could be ended in an echoing way!

In this way, first, it can further show the essence of the dream mixed with bridges, and secondly, when it echoes for the second time, with the foreshadowing of the front, the uncomfortable memory, and the evaluation of the overly sensational language by bystanders, I can really turn this ancient romance or two-dimensional dialogue into a sharp knife, precise and moving.

It's never the dialogue that's outdated, it's how you use it.

In other words, when I wrote about the other world, I really had the end of the first nightmare.

There are two endings that were originally expected and then abandoned:

One is that after Lumian escaped, he slept in another alpine meadow, and once again dreamed of the village of Cordu, dreamed of Aurel, dreamed of his little friend, and the village of Cordu in his dream was so peaceful and peaceful, which is based on the title Nightmare.

The second is to cut the shot directly to Trier's Bar, and Lumian tells the story again, "I'm a loser, and I hardly pay much attention to whether the sun is shining or not...... which is a kind of cyclical and fatalistic structural beauty.

Yes, the first sentence at the beginning of the story made up by Lumian, and the first sentence at the beginning of the first part of fate, is a high refinement of this "nightmare".

Since the first book is all about symbolism and metaphor, how could the story that Lumian tells not have the story at the beginning of the book?

According to Lumian's character, the story must be eight parts false and two parts true, and the real part is more symbolic, hiding the core clue.

Guys, I'm going to tell you at the beginning with a story made up by Lumian what the first part will be like, and that's what it symbolizes.

The above are the creative ideas, writing abstracts and satisfactory parts of the first part, and there are definitely shortcomings:

One is to put the knowledge about the ritual magic related to the first part in the plot acceleration stage, which has brought a certain amount of damage to the overall rhythm, in fact, I should adjust the order and tell these things before I know that the story of the cycle starts to be intense, or spread it a little bit, and use flashbacks and interludes to disperse that part to a few places in the back.

The second is to explore the underground of the church to Lumian hunting flame monsters, this paragraph is temporarily used up because of the early clues, and the later anomalies have not yet been shown, and the plot is in a relatively weak state, this is when the outline was first set, I didn't expect it, and when I got there, I really need to slow down, but not for so long, and the entire dream ruins are mainly hunting and exploring the area, and it's obviously not attractive enough to pick up the beam alone.

But at that time, there were indeed some lines being laid, and there were some small stories to tell, and the overall structure was more perfect, so I suppressed my impatient heart, and I finished it little by little, of course, there must be a part of the content deleted, and the pace was obviously accelerated, which was done before the comments and feedback, after all, there was a manuscript at that time, so, seeing everyone's statements, on the one hand, I secretly laughed that I had adjusted and was ready to meet the wind, and on the other hand, I was glad that as a creator, my writing feeling has not degraded, It's the same as the reader.

The third is the dislocation of expectations, I expect that the first part of fate is the introduction, the key to open the later story, itself has its own structure, but the clues have to wait until the later ones are unraveled, and many readers and friends are looking forward to being like the first part of the mystery, to do a complete ending, and to have a strong enough climax, there is no problem, but I can't think of how to hint at the same time as playing symbols and metaphors to imply that everyone has to fill in those holes later.

The fourth is the creation of characters, which is part of the sacrifice for the overall conception of the first part, and can only be slowly outlined and supplemented in the future, of course, part of the "supplement" I expected may not be the same as everyone thinks, it may be more crazy? Probably.

The fifth is the problem of early upgrades, I should put the negative impact of low-sequence potions as the end is approaching, and the negative impact of low-sequence potions is significantly reduced to the front, in this way, Lumian's low sequence is not too disobedient to the fast promotion, there is no sense of reality, after all, it has been several years since the mystery was written, not everyone remembers some of the details behind, and when I realized this, Lumian was already going to be a "provocateur", so I could only quickly borrow Oroel's mouth to talk about it and make up for it.

Tomorrow, I'll get the character cards of Auror, Lady Poalis, Father Honpar, and the official trio.

After talking about this, as usual, I asked for leave, because I wanted to improve the outline of the second part and rest adjustment, and I took three and a half days off, and on the 28th, that is, at half past twelve o'clock at noon on Friday, I updated the first chapter of the second part.

After thinking about the second part, I chose a used volume name, because it really fits so well that I can't find a replacement.

Part 2, "The Light Chaser" - Remember, you are dust, and you will return to dust.

This one is also a smaller chapter, and it should be more than a hundred chapters, not much longer than the "Nightmare".

Of course, there are also large chapters that follow, depending on the theme, structure and role of each one.

Finally, thank you livy37 friends for rewarding the silver league again.

The last to ask for a monthly pass!

Well, the last one more book recommended:

Yanagishita's new book "Above the Galaxy".

Tang Bandit, a homeless boy who came out of the ruins, walked to the top of the starry sky step by step with a pair of skillful hands and a good-looking face, inexplicable responsibility and an oath that he would never fail to fail.

If the gods no longer show mercy to him, let us light a bonfire, carry a great sword, and become a dry bone, or a hero of legend.

Seriously, the homonym of the protagonist's name makes me unbearable to look at it directly, but the book is still a good book.

By the way, when you are out of the house, the summary has not been modified, and there are many typos and sick sentences, please forgive me, and ask for a monthly pass again~
