Summary at the End of Volume 2

When I was writing, I really wanted to write a summary, and all kinds of reflections and new discoveries came to me. But as soon as I finished writing, I was too lazy to start writing. Writing must consume mana. After writing the climax, it was like releasing a big move. After that, I either meditated to return to mana, or I could only draw A, draw, A, draw A.

Writing the first volume is like building blocks. First put two flat rectangles on the ground, and then stack them on top of each other, such as squares and rhombuses. Finally, when they reach the same height, use a big triangle to build the two pillars together, and the house That’s it.

Although the author is said to be very incompetent and unfamiliar, this is originally built in the shape of a three- to five-year-old child. It can only go up like this, and no matter how stupid it is, it cannot collapse.

But the second volume became a very difficult Tetris.

Swish, swish, swish, swish.

The author is not picking building blocks to build up every day. Instead, he has to deal with the upcoming updates first, and then he has to stare at the pile of messy things that have been formed below and scratch his head, thinking about how to connect these things to build them. a house.

So I always say later that the root of the problem in the second volume is that I started writing without any ideas.

From then on, it was like driving a speeding car. There was no planned road. It all relied on real-time control to let the car run out of the road. Halfway through, I looked back to see the shape of the car - "Look at that. Not like a flower petal?"

".You are a shoehorn."

"No matter what! Anyway, what I just walked out of was a petal. In fact, I wanted to draw a lotus!"

This is the creative thinking behind the second volume.

Of course, another reason is unfamiliarity and inexperience.

I have no experience in writing online articles or writing stories, and I lack the most basic knowledge.

When I wrote the first volume, I didn’t know anything. I just had a simple story and just wrote it.

After I finished writing, the main response was that it was too depressing, so I reflected on it, yes, we are making a good article, so how can we make it good?

Then fight monsters and upgrade.

This is the Wu Bi plot in the second volume.

I didn’t consider the connection and advancement of the main plot, and felt that those were still far away, so I wrote a story about Bowang City.

To be honest, it was the best plot, whether it was a subscription or a monthly pass, it was the pinnacle, but I still reflected on it after this plot.

Because at this time I began to have some creative consciousness. As the number of words increased, I began to think about what I wanted to write and which direction this book should take.

Although I didn't really understand it, I at least realized one thing - writing should be directed towards the plot and climax you want. Just write a story for a book, and it will be completed when it is finished. This is a complete creation.

Designing a "tool" like Wubi just for the sake of a happy mood, without considering the main plot and other advancements, is a failure from the perspective of the plot itself.

In other words, it is a failure in this book, because the martial arts competition is also written in the martial arts competition, which requires a solid and stable world view, deepens the gap between realms, increases the feeling of upgrading, and treats the improvement of skill realm as a clear line. Etc., etc.

That also requires careful research and careful setting, but this book pursues more plot tension, and it can no longer do that.

So I realized at this time that the cool thing I came up with in my head was incompatible with what I was already writing. After I finished writing this plot, I sent a short chapter that I deleted in two days to show to my friends who were following me. , that is to say, I found that this book still needs to be written with a plot, releasing emotions in a wonderful plot, rather than forcibly elevating emotions in a monotonous plot.

Of course, this is my superficial understanding now, and I may have many new ideas as I write, but that’s how I thought at the time.

So there is the plot of the Happy Death Building that follows.

From Chapter 229, leaving Bowang, to entering Kongtong, to the end of Chapter 333, these 100 chapters are a story with a clear main line.

There are rhythm problems in the technique of these one hundred chapters, and the writing skills are also lacking, but I am firm in the creative choices, and the weaving and conclusion of the plot are basically complete. When I finally finished writing, I was very relieved, and quite a lot. Feeling accomplished.

Because I was really asked to draw this lotus flower.

It is really, really difficult. There are so many clues and characters that it is really difficult to control. Moreover, once the plot is complicated, it is difficult to write powerfully.

Looking back at the first volume, it really feels like playing house.

The plot is very simple. It is the story of a young man who encounters a cult, goes into the mountains and meets Hei Chi, Zhu Gaoyang, and Ming Qitian, and finally returns to reveal the old man's life experience and defeat a powerful enemy.

Strong enemies come from heaven, and fairy kings do not need stories and humanity; conflicts are ready-made, and the purpose of the cult can be completely separated from society; the scene is a large secret room like a "mountain city", and there is no need to consider the reactions of external parties; friends also come from far away Yes, they appear here. Just describe their charm without considering their origins and whereabouts.

There is no need to think hard about how to defeat a strong enemy. Ming Qitian and Yue Muzhou are strong enough in their own right, so they can just weave the battle together.

And at the beginning of the story, the author is not limited by any existing text, and does not know to consider various issues such as rhythm and reader response.

Etc., etc.

All these conveniences are missing in Qu Zhu’s plot.

So after finishing this plot, I really feel that I have made progress in writing. Maybe the words are getting less polished and some bad habits have begun to appear, but my understanding of writing is constantly deepening.

So after finishing the bloated second volume, at least one thing inspired me - when I chose to simply write a thrilling point, I finally wrote it; when I chose to weave the scattered threads into a plot, I also succeeded with difficulty.

When I finished writing the first volume, there were many compliments, but I told many people that I was not confident because I couldn't figure out how I wrote it. If asked, I just relied on my feelings, and I didn't quite understand what readers liked.

Now I still dare not say this, but after all, I have some understanding, the understanding of my writing ability, the understanding of creative consciousness, the understanding of the characteristics of online serialization, etc.

So in the third volume, I tried to combine, or balance.

Write some "orthodox things".

That is, in the advancement of the main plot, try to pay attention to the arrangement of thrilling points, no longer use a lot of foreshadowing to structure a plot, but spread out the explosive points, reduce some foreshadowing and suspense, and try to advance more clearly and orderly.

Because I used to like to read books directly or with a lot of words, and almost never follow up, so I didn't pay much attention to the element of "following up".

But now it seems that the feeling of online writing as a "daily entertainment" may be more important than a complete story. That is, the content updated every day should have enough information and elements, or enough fun to play with and daily life, and there is something to look forward to not far ahead. In short, readers should try to get at least a solid experience in these thousands of words.

So I will try to be more in line with the characteristics of serialization. Of course, there will be sacrifices in plot tension and the complexity will be reduced, but it is also tiring for the author to keep writing too deep and too explosive things, and the plot is easy to drift. Shenjing is a prosperous place, so let's write something clear.

I didn't forget to name the third volume this time, so let's call it [Fish Dragon Dance]!
