Four Million Words Summary and Today's Two Chapters in the Evening
Unconsciously, I have written 4 million words. According to what I said before, it is expected to be finished at 4.5 or 6 million words. Now it seems that it will definitely exceed this length, but not by much. In other words, it has officially entered the last 800,000 words. From 3 million words to 4 million words, it is the most difficult 1 million words I have ever written. In the words of some classmates, it is too big to control. It is difficult to take care of many aspects, or I don’t know how to take care of them. Just like the character creation, there were many roles before, and I can only take care of a few as much as possible. Just like the fighting is getting more and more mysterious, I can only simplify it as much as possible, and the passion is gone. Just like the rhythm control, it is easy to relax.
Therefore, the plan for the next book is to try to write a small-scale story, make up for the powerlessness I feel now, accumulate more experience, and strive to improve myself. Since I have entered this industry, I am not here to make quick money. Summarization and improvement are the right intentions. I hope that every book can see progress in some aspects.
From August of the previous year to now, we have been together for almost two years. As long as this book has brought you some laughter, happiness or touching moments, I will be satisfied. I will slowly finish writing the last volume. I hope that when everything is complete, I can burst out again in the last month to thank everyone. In addition, please allow me to have a day off every month, just like after each volume, because writing for a month now is as tiring as writing a volume more than half a year ago. Of course, it is limited to these last few months. The next book will still follow the old rules.
As for this month's vacation, I want to use it on the 15th, because it is my grandmother's 80th birthday and the postponed Qingming tomb sweeping. The old lady understands that we are out of town and it is troublesome to travel back and forth, so she combined the two things together.
Okay, today two chapters will be written in the evening. I have to think about the plot of The Origin of Life and Death again. Writing is not something that can be written just by having an outline and a good story. The specific details are where you have to test your skills. For example, I already had the scene when Jin Huang and Xiao Sang finally meet, and even every line of dialogue, but I want this encounter to have a bang-bang feeling and be impactful. The writing, the foreshadowing, and the twists and turns in the previous parts cannot be written well by just relying on an outline. I have to think about it bit by bit and find that feeling bit by bit.
