When I woke up this morning, the fine medal was hung up. Currently, 3,300 orders are all ordered. Congratulations to myself first.

Compared with the accident when it was on the shelves, this meeting is not so exciting, and my mind is quite calm. I even want to order two takeaways, eat one and throw one away (?

However, it's really not my turn to get excited. After all, the brilliance of this book is all due to readers and friends. Your one-vote, one-coin-one-subscription made it come to this day. This medal actually originated from you. Although I have said it many times, and I feel that no amount of words can express my feelings, please accept my most sincere thanks.

Now 600,000 words, this book has experienced many ups and downs, and my own state is the same. So I took this opportunity to make a little summary of the problems that have arisen so far, which can be regarded as a warning to myself.

The first thing I have to mention is the mentality problem.

Since August, I have clearly felt that my mentality is insufficient. If I insist on a metaphor, it is like a nouveau riche who suddenly won the lottery.

No bragging, when this book was published, I expected in my heart that it would be about 200 orders, and it would be considered a success if it reached 1,000 orders. So at that time, I saw that the first order was 1300+, and it turned to 2600 within half a month. , the whole person is confused.

Then, unexpectedly and reasonably, the mentality collapsed. Not because of poor grades, but precisely because expectations were exceeded.

I am a person who is flattered by the kindness of others. In August, when I touched the keyboard every day, I was so nervous. I was full of thoughts that if I couldn’t write well, I would be sorry for the money these readers spent on me. I was anxious every day. I was overwhelmed by my own psychological burden.

Once the mentality collapses, the plot will naturally collapse. If the plot can't be written, and the readers' feedback is not good, you can only cut off the details and finish it hastily, and then the overall effect will be worse, a vicious circle.

This is the most obvious after the two demon dungeons were put on the shelves, especially in Yuncheng. The plot that should have been intertwined and full of tension was written for me as this virtue. The plot, I must find time to renovate it later.

In August, I lost four-fifths of my reading madness. At that time, my state was almost the same as that of Chapter 214 Han. I felt that I was a waste. Out of that chapter, he had to grow at this point, and so did I.

But it’s okay, after going through this time, I should be able to calm down and keep my own pace in the future. It’s good to learn a lot of wisdom.

Then there is the second question,

Drama rhythm.

This question is divided into two parts.

The first one is my old problem. When I write a plot, I always think about its impact on the plot after 100,000 or even 300,000 words. , and then I couldn't fill it in for a while, so I just slowed down the rhythm, and the people who followed up later couldn't remember what pit I dug before.

To put it bluntly, I still think too much, but my eyes are high and my hands are low. The so-called slow heat is all nonsense, the essence is too good, write out the outline, and have to work more on the detailed outline, everything is given priority to telling the current story well first, and then consider the rest of. The story is not good, so it is useless to say anything.

The second is the unique problem of group portrait essays, which has appeared since the second enrollment, that is, the plot is scattered.

At present, there are eight main perspectives, one main line and seven student branch lines, which means that my speed of pushing the plot is one-eighth of that of a novel with a single protagonist. If you mention a small mouth in each branch, a 4000 chapter will be gone. In the early stage, the team mode was used to solve this problem, and more consideration can be given to multiplayer dungeons in the future.

The serialization of online articles is still different from that of real articles. Even if it is multi-line, the lines should not be cut too frequently, otherwise readers will not understand what is written, and after reading the next line, the previous one will be forgotten.

In the future, use less synchronous advancement, and write the next one after you finish writing one article. Don't be foolish, don't pretend to be foolish, telling a good story is the first.

The third one is about character creation.

My personal understanding is that character creation is divided into long-term and short-term. The former outlines ta's character through details such as the character's words and deeds, psychological activities, etc., which is also the way the protagonist of most books is written.

The latter is to outline a symbolic little character through the background story and one or two representative words in the shortest possible time. It is set that the author of the party is better at this kind of shaping, such as big eyeballs and cloudy gods. They are all authors I admire very much.

At present, I am good at long-term shaping, but short-term shaping is a short board. It has something to do with experience and story core accumulation. Later, try to use characters as the plot, and make the stories of supporting roles other than students into a part of the main line.

As for the character design itself, there is nothing to say. At present, almost every main student has been sprayed by comments. The radish and green vegetables have their own favorites. It seems redundant to explain this. My feelings for each character are the same. , everyone has flaws, everyone will change, maybe after finishing this book, I will write a comprehensive character talk?

Then comes the last reflection: what kind of story do I want to write?

During the trough period, this is a question that I was quite confused. After thinking about it for half a month, maybe I still like it better and am better at writing about the growth of a group of people.

At the beginning of the game, in order to speed up the pace, many simple methods were used, such as the system, such as the lottery. The first volume is all written about these. It is very vulgar and illogical. The bedding has been completed.

From the second volume "Teenagers", the real content of this book begins to emerge: the expansion of the school is only a subsidiary, and the main line is the learning and changes of the students in the school.

It can be said that the content of the first volume and the following is basically not a book, as can be seen from the current writing method. Not to mention anything else, the system is almost lost by me now (laughs)

It is really cool to see the traditional farming writing method used by many seniors when writing school-related articles, accepting affiliates, opening branch schools, and constantly slapping enemies in the face.

But my personal philosophy is that the quality of a school does not lie in how many branches, funds and subsidiary industries it has, but in what students can get here. The existence of the school is to change their lives, and then change the world through them, just like the glory of Cambridge does not come from its campus, but from the countless Nobel Prize winners who came out of it.

Well, this is what I want to write. The protagonist's harvest comes from the upgrade of the supporting role, which is quite different from the routine of traditional web articles, and it is also quite niche. But being able to get this fine medal shows that everyone still loves to watch it and is very happy.

In any case, it is a high-quality article, which means that what I want to write is still recognized. Don't be influenced by comments and other people, just concentrate on writing your own things. My book is not RMB. It is impossible to ask everyone to like it. Meeting is fate.

I have written a chapter of words, and it feels almost the same. It’s not that after writing this testimonial, I will come back and read it when I am confused in the future, just as a wake-up call for myself.

Finally, I would like to wish everyone a happy National Day in advance (but I only have three days off, sadly
