After 6.8 gossip
The other few days ago I talked about books I read, or books I used to read.
Today we will say something else.
Because for a long time, people have always asked me how to write novels and only when someone reads them.
I have said patience and sincerity many times, but it seems that the effect is not good.
Today I will talk about this to you.
What is sincerity? When you write, or after you finish writing, have you ever wondered whether the things you wrote really want to show them to readers and friends, or do you just think that they will say it if I write them out.
If you say I really want to show it to them.
So what about action? What is action? Action is patience!
What is patience? Save the manuscript!
Why do we say that we are saving manuscripts? Because none of us are master-level writers. Even if we have an outline, the things we write may not match the early stage or other problems in the middle stage.
For example, as you write, you find that the character should actually be a little bit more apart from this? But that will lead to the modification of the outline. What should you do?
Many times, in order not to change the outline, I write directly according to the original one.
My personal suggestion is to have a manuscript, which is also my personal habit. The degree of modification of what I write before it is finally uploaded to the Internet is almost 10%, and the maximum is 20%.
But there must be modifications!
Why? Because after writing 300,000 words, if you look back at the characters in your manuscript, compare them with the previous events and characters, you will find that there are many shortcomings in the previous ones.
If you have uploaded it in a hurry... Sorry, you have lost the opportunity to modify it.
What if you didn't upload it? OK! At this time, you can modify the content of the previous 100,000 words!
But if you write 600,000 words, or even one million words! Then when you look back, will you find new questions? The answer is certain!
You will think that if I had handled this way there and another character would have handled this way, although the storyline would be passively adjusted, the entire story would have to be adjusted by about 10% of the number of words, that is, about 100,000 words, many people would give up the adjustment.
This is patience! A manuscript is saved, one million words, two million words... or even three million words!
I still have about two million words of deposited manuscripts in my hand. Are you happy when you hear this? Damn! Update it soon!
Sorry, I really can't come out! Why? Because it still needs to be overhauled!
I counted the manuscripts and it has reached today. I saw Taichu crying. There were four or five times. Some were moved, some were hurt... They all were different.
However, the first edition actually did not have this effect. I read my manuscript again every day, and then found many shortcomings, and had to revise them again... I felt that when I first wrote, there were many things that I still didn't think enough.
You may ask, why do you still say Kawen when you have a manuscript?
It's really a card text. Because the manuscript of about 60,000 words may only be about 50,000 words in the end, or it may be about 70,000 words. The fluctuation is almost as big as that, and it is actually more difficult to modify than to write a brand new one, because I have to choose... So I got card text one day... Sorry, it's not that I'm pretending to be a show of it, but that I've really measured it for too long in the choices.
I can only improve my writing skills after I wrote it and then revised it again. Maybe you don’t know that I wrote about the most powerful and powerful words, but what you see is less than three million words.
Why? Because of revision! Compared to when I was a big hit back then, I have made a lot of progress now. I really hope that one day I can write something that I don’t need to revision.
Some people may say, "I'm not nonsense, right?" I'm not nonsense. I recently completed a simplified short story. I really don't brag. I've written it for more than two years, with a total of 170,000 words.
The manuscript is about 100,000 words because it constantly revises every dialogue, adjusts the personality of each character, and pushes it to the extreme.
If possible, I hope Taichu can do this, but Taichu still doesn’t have that much time for me. It can be said that I have achieved the ultimate I can do so.
Now, if you want to write novels or are writing novels but have not yet made a name for yourself, if you still want to ask me how to write a good novel in the future, then you will first do these two points I said, be sincere and patient.
At least, you need to have a 500,000-word manuscript so that you can know how to match it before and after. If you don’t even have patience, I really don’t know what to say.
Of course, you will also say that many great people have not done this. I can only say that they are talented and really awesome. If you have such a good talent, please give me some advice, but don't ask me how to write it.
My method is very stupid, but it still works. The most important thing is... This method can improve your writing skills.
Finally, the old rules! Please give me a monthly ticket! Let’s talk about another book of mine tomorrow. This is a few days, and I will talk about the ideas of creation and how I was patient when I was creating. I will give examples. At the same time, I will also give examples of other authors I have encountered.
Last! Monthly tickets!
Chapter completed!
