Chapter 147: Fight back to its original form
The little half-fairy quickly caught the demon heart with his right hand, and the little half-fairy thought that Mo Liunian was caused by fear, and at the same time stretched out his left hand to appease Mo Liunian.
Although Mo Liunian's eyes were still looking at the snake spirit, the afterglow made Mo Liunian see the hand stretched out on the left side, and instinctively made Mo Liunian gradually let go of his trembling left hand and stretched out towards the hand stretched out by the little half-immortal.
"Okay, it's okay. ”
The little half-immortal held Mo Liunian's hand tightly, and let out a breath, I don't know whether to say to himself or to Mo Liunian's young mouth.
Mo Yan also walked over at this time, came to the side of the little half-immortal, and looked at the snake spirit.
"The thousand-year-old cultivation is ruined, but it is a good thing for her, I hope she can rebuild her foundation, and he will regain his immortal path one day. ”
Looking at the appearance of the dying girl in Tsing Yi, Mo Yannian, who was holding the book of heaven in his hand, couldn't help but sigh lightly.
The body of the woman in Tsing Yi emitted a faint blue light, and the body became smaller and smaller in the green light, and finally turned into a green snake no more than three feet long.
Seeking victory in danger, there was finally no danger, Xiao Banxian accepted the demon heart, and said to Mo Yan and Mo Liunian: "Let's go." ”
Mo Liunian suddenly asked Xiao Banxian, "Can you still help me take out that snake's primordial spirit now?"
Xiao Banxian thought for a while and said, "Yes." ”
Mo Liunian sat down cross-legged according to what the little half-immortal said, the little half-immortal took out the soul-attracting banner and recited the soul-attracting spell, Mo Liunian clearly felt that the snake spirit was slowly drawn out of his body.
The little half-immortal put the snake spirit into the spell, and Mo Liunian said, "Let's find an opportunity to overtake it in the future." ”
The little half-immortal nodded and said, "Okay." ”
The three of them were about to go down the mountain, just against the girl in Tsing Yi, the little half-fairy's leg was hit by a small stone, and only then did he feel pain, and he limped when he walked, Mo Yan was also injured before he rested before he could barely walk, and the little half-fairy waved to Mo Liunian after walking for a while, "Come here, give me a crutch,"
Although Mo Liunian was unwilling, he still couldn't bear to walk over when he saw him so pitiful, and Xiao Banxian directly took her over, put his arm on her shoulder, and half of his body weight was pressed on Mo Liunian's body.
Although he has been running around with Xiao Banxian for the past three years, he has never had such intimacy, Mo Liunian suddenly blushed, fortunately he is walking in the dark now, otherwise he would be really embarrassed and thrown home.
Introducing an outline method - Snowflake Method
Snowflake method, as the name suggests, the name of the snowflake comes from its drawings, starting from a triangle, then putting a triangle on each line, and then putting a hexagon on the side of each hexagon, so that the geometric pattern is closer and closer to the shape of the snowflake. This is shown in the figure below.
PS: The Xuehua creation method comes from foreign writers, this article is translated by netizens, and the editor has compiled and deleted it. So the expression is a little jerky, you need to be patient when you watch it!
Steps:
1. Spend an hour writing a sentence to summarize yours. For example, it could be: "A rogue physicist who travels back in time to kill Jesus the Apostle Paul." (This sentence must be permanent, your own 10-second advertising tool word, if you were given 10 seconds to sell your book to readers, what would you say?) is that sentence. Before writing that sentence, it took an hour to figure it out. This is the big background, the big setting, it's the snowflake simulant, the original triangle.
When you then write a formal introduction to your essay, there is a good chance that this sentence will appear at the beginning of your introduction. This is what you use to report to your editors, your readers, your agents...... Wait, wait, the suspense when you go to sell your book, and the cuteness, this is a seductive point, so you can write as much as you can! Don't be lazy!
A few tips:
1) The shorter, the better. Less than 15 words is preferred. Well, this, because of the difference between Chinese and English, probably needs to be changed to: less than 30 words is the best.
2) No names!Please...... It's much better to say "an acrobat with a disability" than to say "Jane, Doe" and something like that people don't know whose name it is.
3) Linking the big background to the small background in which the character is located, which character is likely to lose the most in the story, and now tell me what he or she wants?
4) Read more like the New York Times Best Books List, see how this kind of one-sentence advertising slogan is written, and then, learn. The description of this sentence is an art.
2. Take another hour to expand the sentence you have written into a paragraph. In this paragraph, the beginning of the story, the main disasters that will appear in the story, and then the ending of the story, which is equivalent to the second step of the snowflake simulation. Ideally, your paragraph should include 5 sentences, the first sentence is the background of the story, the beginning, followed by three sentences, each corresponding to a disaster, and then a sentence about the end of the story.
3. The paragraph in the second step gives you a high-level perspective of your book, or a far-sighted overall perspective, and now what you need to do is to draw the story line from the perspective of each of your characters. Organize the storyline from the perspective of each of your characters individually. Characters are the most important part of any book. Designing them before you start writing will save you 10 times as much time when you actually start writing later. For each of the main characters in your book, spend an hour writing a page.
The contents of this paper are:
1. Character name
2. Summarize the character's storyline in one sentence
3. The character's motivation (abstractly, what does he want?)
4. The character's goal (specifically, what does he want?)
5. Conflict of characters (what makes him unable to reach his goal easily?)
6. The character's perception (how he will change after the story ends)
7. Use a paragraph to write the story line of this character
One important point: you may find that you need to go back and fix the sentence in your first step or the paragraph in your second step while writing this, don't worry, go ahead, that's a good thing...... This shows that your characters, in teaching you something, something about your story, in any step of this ten-part series, you can go back as needed, fix and adjust before, in fact, it's not just that you can do it, in fact, you can't avoid it, it's going to happen, and that's a good thing. Any correction you make now means that you don't have to do it in the future, and no matter how troublesome it is, it is better than waiting for you to write more than 400 pages and then find out that you have made a mistake.
4. By this point, you should have a pretty good idea of the big picture of your story. And you've only had a day or two...... Okay, let's be honest, it's been a week since you've done the first three steps, but it doesn't matter, if there's a gap in the story, there's something that can't be bridged, and you'll already know it by this point, and you're not going to worry about your first draft after 500 hours of writing, so for now, go ahead and let your story grow.
Take a few hours to expand the summary paragraphs, each sentence, that you gained from the previous step into one paragraph. Remember to let every paragraph, except the last one, end on a "disaster". And the last paragraph is the ending of the book, this step is very interesting, after this step, you will have a story skeleton that is more than a page long, if you can't finish a page, it doesn't matter. Two pages are good.
The most important thing is that you are adding branches to your story, integrating all your inspirations, ideas, and expanding the conflict in the text, and you have a ...... Outline. This can be a good outline for you to recommend to booksellers and editors.
5. Spend one or two days writing a page for each of the main characters in the book, and half a page for each of the minor characters in the book to describe them, these "character profiles" should tell this story from the perspective of each character, naturally, as before, you can always temporarily revert to the previous steps and make appropriate corrections, in this step you will have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of your characters, especially, what are the characteristics of these characters, what are the cute points, what mantras do they have, what interesting things will they do... ... In this step, their image gradually becomes clear and full.
6. Now that you have a fairly specific and detailed story, and a few story lines, each character, has a story line, and then, in a week, you expand the plot outline of the page you got in step 4 into four pages, basically, just like in step 4, you expand each sentence into a paragraph.
In this step, you're actually organizing the general logic of the story, and then you're starting to make some skillful decisions, in other words, where to put suspense, where to put foreshadowing, where to make people laugh and laugh, what to say first, and then what to say. At this point, you really have to think about taking a few steps back and fixing everything you found out was wrong, because as you learn more and more about your story, new ideas will pop up from time to time...... Then they are likely to have an impact on the story as a whole.
7. For another week, this time to expand the character compendium obtained in step 5, to expand it into a complete character diagram that includes all the information about the character.
Standard information includes: date of birth, appearance, history, motivations, goals, etc.
And the most important thing is how the character changes at the end of the story, compared to the beginning of the story? This is an extension of step three, and it will teach you a lot about your character, but at this point...... You're likely going to have to go back and revise it again...... Why...... Because as your characters become more realistic, they will become more and more willful, and they will start to make their own demands on the direction of the story......
