MTL - Wind Rises in Dragon City-~ End of this testimonial
After finishing the book, I really have too many words in my heart, and I want to chat with everyone.
Let's start with the book "The Ninth Special Zone". When this book entered the later stage, I took the time to think about what subject matter to write in the next book.
At that time, I thought about a lot of stories, but I was not very satisfied. Until the end of the book, because I have been following various news for a long time, I accidentally thought of a subject that I was very excited about.
A line of words also automatically appeared in my mind, "After the new era, resources will recover, the region will rise, and the overseas Chinese will return home after three generations!"
For me, this theme has a breakthrough and a story-shaping point. First of all, I have never written overseas stories before, and there is room for development; secondly, I am very excited about such stories with a heavy sense of history.
So, I consulted a lot of information, and gradually perfected the story, which was the trailer that was posted on the official account at that time. The whole structure is prepared to see the big from the small, from the perspective of the bottom of the Dragon City, with the association full of quack spirits as the keynote, to describe the story of a generation of people gradually awakening and finally embarking on their way home.
But unfortunately, this book has just started, and when the results are improving by leaps and bounds, several major channels have rejected it more than 30 times in a row. Revise.
At that time, it was the stage when Su Tianyu, Yu Mingyuan and others had just started their businesses. The structure of the whole story had just been rolled out.
If it was 50,000 to 60,000 words in the early stage, there is still a chance to adjust, but the story has reached 50,000 to 600,000 words, and the structure and tone have already been set. Change, how to change?
No way, it was rejected more than 30 times, and I revised it more than 30 times. During that time, I often stayed up until four or five o'clock in the morning. Careful readers will also find that many details and foreshadowing in the book are gone when they read it from the beginning, and the job titles that have included various roles have also changed, and they cannot use names that are too quack.
I have always believed that writing a book is like cooking, and every chef has his own unique taste in cooking. But with such a change, the taste of Longcheng's dish changed.
The development process of the association and the bottom layer cannot be described, which is tantamount to cutting off the core point of this book. If I can’t get on some channels, it’s hard to recover the buyout cost that the platform gave me, so the number of words is limited, and the story of this book won’t be long.
the most important is! Many characters cannot be portrayed perfectly without grounded descriptions, including the miner's son Tang Yao, his sister, Lu Feng, Wei Xiangzuo and others.
Their original plots are all buried in the story carrier of the association's struggle. If they are cut off, it will be difficult for the characters to stand up and move people. Including Li Mingsheng, I originally planned to let him die on the way to his ideals, that is, when he got in touch with Lao Mo and the Huatong Association had not yet been fully established.
At this time, if he is gone, Su Tianyu's character arc will be complete, and he will be able to step into an extremely difficult situation and hone his skills.
But it is a pity that if the whole story is to be shortened, the power system of the game between the enemy and us must be taken into account in the book, and Li Mingsheng cannot die. Otherwise, Su Tianyu would not have the logic to reach the final victory without the support and development process.
This is my biggest regret since I wrote the book. Storytelling is like stacking blocks. Only when the foundation is solid can the blocks be stacked steadily and high.
After entering the middle and late stages, I was drawing back the plot and trimming the corners entirely by relying on more than ten years of writing experience.
During that time, my mentality really collapsed, and many old readers who are active in the book review area should also find that my mood is very unstable, and I am on fire. But I really couldn't control it at that time, my thinking and physical strength were seriously overdrawn, and I was irritable.
I always feel that I am working hard, but I am not understood.
But later, my wife became pregnant, and the family was about to add someone to the family. When writing about eternal life, I could also open up another way of thinking, which was equivalent to relaxing my brain, and my mood was much more stable.
Anyway, my apologies to those readers who have had arguments with me. Don't be like me. During that time, when I looked in the mirror, I wanted to give myself two punches.
There must be some regrets in this book. According to my plan, I originally wanted to make a complete transformation to touch new themes after finishing the book in Dragon City, but these changes made this plan a little earlier.
For me personally, I clearly know that ~www.novelbuddy.com~ one type has a certain type of regular readers, if you change rashly, your grades will decline, and your income will even be affected.
But I still say the same thing, writing a book, for me, it is indeed to support my family, but at the same time, I always have a little vision, that is, to write as much as possible when I can still write , leaving little works.
It's a work! Nothing else!
Transformation will burst out new inspiration and creative passion. If you stay in the same place, you are just living on your laurels.
When I first wrote "The Ninth Special Zone", I had this idea in mind. It is not boastful to say that no author of this kind of subject dares to span such a large span, but I dare.
Fuck it, it’s nothing more than starting all over again!
Well, after so much rambling, it's time to say goodbye.
I know that many people only read works with similar themes, and many people may really leave, and they don't even read online articles.
But no matter what, you are all my old brothers, old friends, and old sisters who have accompanied me for ten years!
I sincerely say thank you to you. The ten years with you are the best ten years for me. From 23 to 33 years old, all my life is closely related to you.
Some people say that I have transformed and my youth is over. But I want to say that youth will end sooner or later, but memories will always exist!
thank you! Love you guys!
In the future, I will embark on a new journey, and I may try any subject matter and any genre.
Readers who left, let's say goodbye!
Readers who are still chasing eternal life, let's continue!
That's it!
