Write down the last word of the first volume of "The Moon in the Sky".

I tried to summarize the writing of this volume.

"Surveying the Sky with a Red Heart" is the first online film I created, and for me, no matter where I write, my hard work and creative pursuit will not change.

Even because the volume of online serialization is more demanding, I actually consume more energy.

Return to the Red Heart Survey.

In the first chapter, I obviously made the mistake of being a newcomer to the Internet, not advancing the plot and showing the protagonist in the first place, so as to attract readers who are used to reading fast-paced online articles.

I spent more than 7,000 words describing in detail a high-level battle that took place in Zhuangguo, and in this battle, the protagonist was only an observer. (After many revisions, one or two hundred words were deleted each time, and now it is difficult to delete more than 6,000 words...... ）

The original intention is to show part of the combat system of this world first, so that readers can have a preliminary understanding of the power level of the Red Heart Sky Survey. At the same time, bury some threads that will not be used for a long time.

The gray line of the grass snake and the thousands of miles of veins are the structural techniques I admire.

Huahua in the group is also the second leader of the book. She's a nice person.

She helped me summarize some issues that should be paid attention to in online articles, and made some suggestions.

For example, the beggar part of the first chapter can be deleted.

But when you see the end of the volume, you should know that the group of beggars was originally a sacrifice of the White Bone Dao. From the first chapter, I buried the clues to the ending of the first volume.

As an author, I can't tell her such reasons directly before I finish writing this, and I don't want to affect her reading enjoyment as a reader.

But in fact, what she said was something that was in line with the online text market.

Online readers, how many clues do you need to use after hundreds of thousands of words?

There are a lot of details like that.

Therefore, when Zhang Linchuan put on the mask, everyone suddenly realized that he was the White Bone Messenger.

Does anyone remember that Miaoyu appeared for the first time in Zhenguan, and what about the man who talked to her? Isn't it one of Zhang Linchuan's symbols?

In online reading, readers are accustomed to passing by in a hurry with ten lines at a glance, and probably will not pay attention to such details.

But it doesn't matter, as long as even one reader notices this surprise, my hard work has not been in vain.

Some people criticize me and say that writing about the Internet is selling business and literature is commodity literature. Hopefully I'll be able to recognize the reality.

I am very acknowledged by reality.

It's only been more than 60 years so far, so what reality do I not know?

Some readers advised me that I pursued my own literature on the Internet, which is something that I only do after becoming famous.

I understand the love for me in these words.

But for the volume of the Red Heart Sky Survey, it will take one or two years to finish writing a book.

How many two years do I have to try, and how many two years can I waste?

For me, it's a waste to just make money for two years.

Because what I have never pursued is to be a successful businessman.

I want to make money, there are many ways.

If I want literature, there is only one way to go.

Of course, even now, this book can't turn around.

......

Back to the creation itself.

It was only at the end of the first chapter that I made the main character appear. In the first chapter, a lot of space is devoted to a Zuo Guanglie who may only appear this time.

This is undoubtedly a huge mistake in terms of the creation of web serialization.

Now the poor grades have also punished me.

I can't justify my selfishness.

But let's talk about my selfishness.

- It's all because of my love for the character of Zuo Guanglie.

Zuo Guanglie is just a flash in the eyes of readers, in order to set off Li Yizhi's strength and the existence of being beheaded by a sword.

But in the world of Red Heart Survey, the protagonist Jiang Wang will live under his light for a long time.

He is a genius who has only been born in hundreds of years, he is strong, proud, compassionate, and sincere.

He only appeared once, but it shone up a piece of sky.

I don't want to write it off.

I had to admit the mistake, but I tried several times to fix it, but I couldn't convince myself to fix it.

I was wrong, and I'll change it in the next book.

If there is a next one.

......

The second problem with the Red Heart Survey is the slow pace.

I spent a lot of pen and ink on the fireworks in the world, on the details, on the little people.

There are no high-spirited people who are all focused on the main character, and they have lost a lot of readers because of it.

When I write about surveying the sky, I don't just want to write a story, I hope to build a relatively complete world.

Without those earthly fireworks, the world would not be real enough.

Without those dull and lovely years, it is not enough to be a sad and painful past.

Without those knowing smiles, I couldn't convince myself to burst into tears.

Doesn't it take a process to build a relationship? Doesn't it take a run-in to build trust?

In a few words, life and death intersect and die, can it really convince the reader?

I was my own first reader, and it couldn't convince me in the first place.

I believe I'm right, but maybe I should do more for my pursuit.

How to use less text and more moving details to express details. This frees up room and strengthens the rhythm.

That's what I'm going to do next.

At the end of the volume, I cut off a lot of branches. Including the matching battle part of the Wandering Pulse Realm in the Illusory Realm, the previous stroke of the main general of the City Guard Army, Fang Dabeard, and so on.

Among them, the foremost of Fang Dabeard's predecessor can continue to enrich the details of the Fang family, and at the same time, it can also make his death more moving. It's a pity to cut it down.

But the other subplots combined, can't quite hold up the story of that time. Not exciting enough.

For the sake of the overall rhythm, a trade-off had to be made.

......

The third problem of the naked heart patrol is that there are not enough cool points and not enough intensive.

This is a question that many people criticize.

Is there anything cool about it? Absolutely.

Is it so cool that it's transparent? It's natural and transparent.

But not enough, not dense enough. And the protagonist is so weak.

This is where a lot of readers are disappointed.

And for me.

I can't convince myself that in a real world, there will be a steady stream of weak tricks to abuse the protagonist without brains.

Let's not talk about a world where extraordinary powers have developed for countless years, just in the real world.

When you were in high school, were the constant stream of elementary school students in conflict with you?

They are often classmates who are taller and stronger than you, often your seniors, and even young people in society.

When you are weak, what usually happens is how to avoid conflict with those powerful beings, how to use strength, how to strengthen yourself.

After you are strong, it is possible to have the story of pushing 800 miles alone.

It's not that I can't write so cool, in the name of God, it's a short story that burns from beginning to end, in a long story like Journey to the West, every shot of Sun Wukong is enough to burn,

Just looking at the phrase "pushing 800 miles alone", it's already cool, isn't it?

It's just that in the growing stage, that's not true enough.

This is what I understand, the reality of the world.

There are also people who say that in the realm of cultivation, it is too immortal to write nine products, eight products, and seven products in front of it, and it is too much like a brain-dead text.

I......

I have put a lot of effort into building a spiritual system, from Youmai, Zhoutian, Tongtian, Tenglong, Inner House, Outer Building, and Divine Presence......

Along the way, each realm has a detailed description and a wonderful process. I believe it's logically self-consistent, and on that basis, I want it to be magnificent and wonderful.

The reason why I use a few products to explain it above is just to make it easier for readers to quickly understand the level of practice.

In order to pursue truth, the realm of cultivation follows the perspective of the protagonist step by step. Until then, I'm afraid that readers won't have an impression of these realms.

This may still not please readers, but at least it shows that I didn't crash headfirst into the Internet without knowing anything, as many have criticized.

I've considered the feelings of web readers.

......

Outside of these questions.

I thought the end of the first volume was perfect, and I gave myself a score of nine out of 10.

One less point is because there is not enough time to work on it.

At the end, there was a lot of camera cuts, and I pushed each shot to its limit in the time frame.

There were many, many characters who appeared like a marquee, but I expressed what I wanted to express.

Some clips can't be separated, and can only break up the timeline. Some fragments must be coherent and can only bridge the lines of space.

With such a complex number of characters, timelines, and spatial lines, I bundled them up and unfolded them in an orderly manner.

I did the best I could at this stage.

From the monk of the Anti-Punishment Division who passed the message to himself, the old gentleman who stood in front of the students, and the warrior of Maple Grove City who broke down and jumped into the cracks...... From these characters who don't even have names, to characters with names and surnames, to important supporting roles in the early stage.

Each of them has his own flesh and blood, his own life.

Their spirit, will, love and hate, and trade-offs are all clearly displayed to the reader.

I'm satisfied.

The last time I made this attempt was when I wrote about the dawn, the scourge of the blue bird. Qinghou set up a bureau to besiege and kill Ying Ligong, and Chu Zhen was deceived into liberating Zhenlong.

Compared with that time, there are more characters, a wider field of vision, and more difficulty.

This kind of large-screen group drama, with each additional role, is much more difficult.

But I did it anyway.

The improvement in my writing ability is what makes me the most happy.

On the layout of the plot.

The truth about the history of the Zhuang Kingdom, the history of the Terran Water Tribe, the Kaimai Pill and the Fierce Beast, and the White Bone Dao are all peeled back layer by layer.

In the end, the Maple Forest City sank into the netherworld, and Jiang Wang went away to a foreign country, and this ending had already been foreshadowed outside the True Vision.

The plot of the White Bone Dao and the choice of Zhuang Ting as a state power run through the whole volume.

From a country and a family, to a city and a person, in the context of the world of great contention, in the collision between ideals and reality, they all need to make their own choices.

All the pits filled in were so tightly sealed that the corpses could not be buried.

And I haven't finished the foreshadowing in the first chapter. The so-called thousands of miles of veins are only a few mountains now.

In terms of group portraits, I think I have made progress compared to the past.

But I still need readers to tell me what the result is.

There are quite a few characters that I've been impressed by, but I don't know which ones are more liked by readers.

......

The last three words of the first chapter are Kaimai Dan.

Someone sprayed me: "Why did you write so much and work so hard in the front, and finally give me a 'Kaimai Dan'?"

Or else?

Two dragons are fighting in front of you, both are defeated, and an artifact is burst out for you, okay?

I won't give the protagonist an overly goldfinger, although this is only one, it is also a world in my heart.

In a real world, you have to work hard to succeed!

As a thing, it doesn't seem precious enough.

But it is the beginning of Jiang Wang's cultivation path, the beginning of the rise of human cultivation, and the beginning of this story.

I wrote the first volume in 350,000 words, laying the foundation for the world of surveying the heavens with a naked heart.

I am confident that I can build a magnificent world on this basis.

But I need readers to support me so that I don't starve to death on the way to move bricks and walls.

Many people may not know that writing online articles at the starting point is to own all the copyright of the short stories during the author's serialization at the same time. It's nothing to others.

For me, it meant that I didn't have any income outside of the book during the time I was writing the Survey.

Because my original job was to write scripts, columns, short stories, and scripts.

I wrote the Naked Heart Survey with the determination that I would not make a penny for a whole year.

There is no good news other than rejoicing that you have long since broken up and not having to think about the guilt of your partner.

......

One day I saw someone in the readership say -

"The current author is too impatient, and the book has hundreds of thousands of words and tens of thousands of recommendations, saying that the grades are not good, and they must be cut off immediately. I really want to catch them and let them learn from Ashen. ”

This topic is actually quite sad, because until now, mine has only 4,000 recommendations. The collection just broke a thousand. The average order is more than 60.

I wrote 350,000 words with quality and quantity!

And I'm still writing with the lamp boiling oil.

I used to write entities, only five days a week, and only 2,000 words a day. The rest of the time is rested to nourish the brain.

Now I write at least 5,000 words a day, and I haven't had a break for more than a month.

The brain is very high and tired.

I actually understand the authors very well.

If you think of writing as a simple job, a business.

Actually, it makes sense.

Because all that needs to be considered is performance, income.

For online articles, it is very slim if there is no achievement during the new book period, because you will not have follow-up recommendations, and the sunk cost of writing it down is too high.

Cut out, change the number, change the book. Change the number again, change the book again. Pick the one with the best grades and write it down. That's how business should be.

Why don't you have to wait until more than 100,000 words, the editor should cut it when he first recommended it to the cold door.

But.

What if it's not just a job, if writing isn't just about making money, it's really your dream?

I'm sorry, I ...... Can't cut down.

I'm sorry, I'm saying it to myself.

There are simple columns to write, and the deposit is called to me in advance. There is a simple hydrology that can be written, as long as I am willing to give up this pen name and put my head covered and pour water, I can directly publish it and get money. Not to mention those ad advertorials that can be published with a few clicks.

I had a lot of easy paths, but I chose the hardest one.

I put myself in the most painful situation.

Just for one of the simplest reasons.

One or a lot of people don't believe it anymore.

Because of love.

I love the characters I write, and I love the world I build.

Everything I have done, all the distances I have traveled, have been for the love of my heart.

For this love.

I'm willing to put in more effort as well as wait.

......

The title of the first volume is "The Moon in the Sky." ”

The bright moon can be an ideal, it can be love, it can be a hometown.

"It's as clear as the moon, when can it be done?"

From Cao Cao's "Tanka Xing".

"The bright moon is bright, when will I be able to pick it?"

Jiang Wang and I have our own pursuits and ideals, our own loves and hatreds, and our hometown.

And the name of the next volume is-

"I have no heart to love the night. ”
