The first volume is finally finished, the world is indeed far away, this part of the road has been too long, let me sigh first.

I didn't expect this to be close to 600,000 words, mainly ...... Didn't write it well!

In fact, I decided a long time ago that when the first volume was finished, I must seriously summarize the experience and lessons, because it was a bit messy and confusing at that time.

When I almost wrote the second plot after it was put on the shelves, that is, the story of Feng Qi Niangzi on the Qingjiang Lu boat, I encountered a problem.

After going down the mountain from Li Xiangyi, mainly after returning to the world from Biluotian, Li Xiangyi and Xiao Qianjun traveled all the way east, experiencing thirty miles of Tingning Xiaozhi Little Girl, Qingsui Mountain Villa Lingzhou Jianghu, Burial Moon Valley Windy City, and then to Qingjiang Luchuan Feng Qi Niangzi and other events, such a small plot after one, you will be aesthetically tired if you watch too much.

On top of that, it appears that the main line is weak and unattractive.

This point,Someone pointed it out in the comments.,I felt it myself.,After writing the plot of Feng Qi Niangzi.,The self-confusion caused by the weakness of the main line,Reached the extreme.,In order to strengthen the main line and attraction,I then arranged the plot of the two continents.,Ready to do a big thing.。

The halfway avenue gold list was updated, and after reading 10,000 books in advance, the girl Xianlong appeared, including following Ah Xiao to the small underworld, all of which were arranged to solve the weakness of the main line and the lack of highlights.

In fact, in my original plan, there was only the Youshen Club on Donghua Mountain, and there was no two-continent competition or three-continent competition.

Attentive readers should also notice that since the plot of Feng Qi Niangzi Luchuan, I have not arranged similar independent small plots, and this is the reason.

Hit the small underworld out, the next is Donghua Mountain, here, the problem of the main line is weak, from the point of view of creation, it is solved (not to say that the writing is very good), but then I encountered a bigger problem.

From a state of confusion and powerlessness to an extremely difficult state.

This difficult period is the plot of Donghua Mountain.

It's still that problem, because of the lack of highlights in the front, I was going to do a big thing on Donghua Mountain, so there was a big competition between the two continents, and later it became a three-continent competition.

But a person cannot step into the same river twice, but he may fall in the same pit twice.

I made a mistake I made before - when I was in Turtle Town, I arranged too many characters to appear, but fortunately, I was reminded by the comments, and I reflected on it in time, and I did a lot of subtractions later, and I wrote it down smoothly - this has been mentioned in the testimonials on the shelf, and I was a little proud at the time.

Maybe it's because I got through the difficulties at the beginning that I was paralyzed, and in order to make a big scene on Donghua Mountain, I unconsciously arranged too many people, and the two continents were not enough, and they became three continents.

There are 20 people on the top 10 of a continent and a list of people, and 60 people on three continents.

In this process, I also made a mistake, because I have watched it myself for many years, and I feel that directly letting the young Tianjiao of the three continents fight in the ring, one by one, is too old-fashioned, too uninnovative, and it will be very long, so there is a Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, and I threw them all into the Long Night City.

But because there are too many characters and the state is too bad, I don't know how to subtract it, so I have the current written text, which has become stinky and long (although it is quite ugly in the comments, but I must admit it).

From the chaotic battle at the foot of Donghua Mountain to the copy of Long Night City, I wrote very hard every day, but I couldn't change it, so I could only write hard.

Fortunately, it was finally finished.

From the time my state became bad and my creation became difficult, I began to think, why did it become like this, why didn't I write better and better, but drove high and low?

I was confused for a long time.

It wasn't until I sat up and turned in bed one sleepless night that I suddenly sat up and realized what the problem was.

Subjectively speaking, first, there is no outline in my first volume, only one main line: go to Donghua Mountain.

When you arrive at Donghua Mountain, you don't know what will happen at the Youshen meeting and what will happen on the way, you don't know, it's all imaginary, so it is inevitable that you will write crookedly.

The second is that I didn't save the manuscript, and I was used to coding words at night, in order to update before midnight, I was in a hurry and in a hurry, and it was easy to let go of myself, and the content was out of shape.

Objectively speaking, it is because the content of this first volume is to go to Donghua Mountain, which restricts the direction, the time, and therefore the creation.

From Hanshan Academy to Donghua Mountain, it is a line, so the plot on the way can only be strung together by dots, which are the independent small plots in front.

At the same time, because it was set to take more than two months, it was necessary to walk 8,000 miles (later revised to tens of thousands of miles), so Li Xiangyun led Xiao Qianjun and could only hurry up, unable to expand the plot horizontally.

I want him to stay somewhere a little longer, let him be free and calm, and it's not allowed to write the plot a little deeper.

The root of this problem is that the setting is not done well, if you change two months to half a year, or a year, maybe it will be much better (but no one gives gifts, and you set off half a year or a year in advance, right?). That's why it was originally set at two months).

Recall that the second half of the volume really made a lot of mistakes.

Fortunately, the first volume has finally been written, and the second volume will be a new beginning.

The second volume does not have the point of Donghua Mountain, and the eastbound line is bound, Li Xiangyun can walk freely on the nine continents, and I can also create freely, which should avoid many mistakes.

And unlike the first volume, how to end the second volume, and even what the last picture looks like, I have thought about it a long time ago, and I will not be confused anymore.

This is the first time I've written Xianxia, and I really have no experience, and it's inevitable to make mistakes.

Drawing on the lessons of this first volume, I believe that I will write better and better in the future, writing about the magnificent world in my heart where the three religions and hundreds of schools of thought contend, and the gods, ghosts, and demons stand side by side.

The second volume is followed - "The Dragon and the Snake Rise to the Land".
