I just wanted to post something to scold Heizi in the middle of the night.
I have never talked to you about the book Mystery. I have always been worried that I will not be able to write what I want, and I have no confidence in talking about it.
Now, the number of words is quite a lot, and the result is quite satisfactory, and there are some controversies, so I wrote it down and talked about it with everyone.
Lao Gui has always been a very simple person. Just like when I was in school, I could only eat two dry steamed buns for lunch in order to rent books. Now I am the same. A simple life is the most important thing.
Is it good to make money by writing books?
Of course it’s good, it’s very good, but is writing a book just to make money?
I don't think so.
Of course, this has something to do with my own inability to write fire books.
I am too self-centered when writing books. I ponder too many things and easily get into trouble. Although it is of no use, I still want to write them out. As a result, the people who read my articles are somewhat niche. Starting from the story of Lu Tian, and then
The next few books, except for Hong Yue, which had some luck, have always been tepid. Maybe I don’t have this ability, but I have never specifically asked myself to pursue any other style.
The reason is very simple. I feel quite happy writing a book like this.
It’s also because I feel happy, so I still have requirements for myself when writing a book.
I don't plagiarize or imitate. Before writing a book, I first think of something I want to express and follow that.
From the time I wrote the book to the present, let alone plagiarism, I dare not say that any of the plots in my book were plagiarized or imitated by others.
For me, writing a story of my own is far more important than writing the story itself.
This mysterious book has an ill-fated destiny.
I wrote it at first because of the red moon and the scarlet color, which made it a bit regretful.
The unclear concept and incomplete structure are always painful in my heart. I hope that I can write a book that starts well and ends well, is complete and satisfactory, so I continued to write Mystery, otherwise I would return to Xianxia. At that time
All the ideas are there.
However, writing mystery also encounters some problems, such as similarity.
I have read the book that the reader is discussing. It is a very good book and I like it very much. But I do not intend to copy other people’s success, so I will not say that I copied it. In order to avoid similar plots, I even removed the title of this book.
I have given up all my innate advantages. You must know that I originally planned to start from the perspective of a patient with persecution paranoia. To him, the world is hell, everyone wants to harm him, and everyone is a devil.
But I still gave up, skipped it immediately, and introduced the theme of the story: the urban matrix.
In terms of pace, this may be a bit faster, but I think it's worth it.
Because writing a book is such a thing in itself, you can write a plot similar to others without knowing it, and that is understandable. But if you know that there is such a plot in other books, you should try your best to avoid it. This is a mistake.
As an author's responsibility, always put creation first. Create something new, it may not be that interesting, but it must be new.
Mystery, that’s what it does.
Frankly speaking, what I want to write about in this book is a difference in cognitive perspective. What we perceive is not necessarily true, but what we perceive is our world. In addition, what I want to express is
It’s the relationship between people and the social matrix, it’s the city we live in, its changes to us, and our changes to the city. This is the theme I set from the beginning.
I could have developed the story bit by bit from the perspective of a person with persecution and paranoia, and slowly rolled it out. Why did I speed it up later? It was just to avoid unnecessary discussions.
Not only do I need to avoid strange beasts, I also need to avoid strange fairies, because according to my original settings, there will inevitably be some that are similar to strange fairies.
But I started to deliberately avoid it in advance, designed a new style, and wrote my own taste.
What are you drawing?
It is simply because I want to abide by the principles of being an author, be original, open up my imagination, and write to resonate with readers.
Well, thinking about it this way, maybe I don't have to be so tired. The writing is more similar to the fire book, and maybe I can get some advantages, get better grades, and make more money.
But at least the old ghost thinks that is not necessary.
What I write may be popular, but is it my own?
Because of this, before publishing the book, I made a lot of adjustments, designed a lot of my own stuff, and even specially modified the basic settings.
I am also sure that now I have avoided any similarities, or even completely different ones, that’s why I posted them.
Then...
During the first four chapters, some people said they were very similar. I understand. Let’s discuss it.
Chapter 8 has been released, my unique setting has been released, and I am confident enough to post a chapter to discuss with everyone.
Later, I didn’t need to say it anymore. Everyone who read the book understood that this was too far off.
What I write is my own and does not resemble anyone else's.
However, there are still some smart people coming out of the book review area. I’m not sure if they have read Alien Beasts. Maybe they come to the book review area just because they want to express some opinions, and even say bad things.
I have only one sentence for this:
looks like?
It looks like your mother twisting and twisting a lot of blood!
…
An old ghost’s book is an old ghost’s book. You can accuse me of not making enough money and not having enough readers, but you accuse me of plagiarism?
Copy your screwdriver!
I'll just leave it here. If I have the ability to make a palette, I'll wait.
Don't say you're too lazy to do it. If you do it, it proves to be a success. I won't give up the royalties, I'll give them all to you.
Everyday is not disgusting enough.
Really awesome screwdriver!
…
Finally, I don’t want to say anything unnecessary. In fact, I am already very tired and want to rest early. This book, which I have been writing until now, is written in the style of the old ghost himself. Many authors also gave it to the old ghost after reading it.
Gui’s affirmation made me secretly happy for a long time. As for the results, it is already Lao Gui’s best work besides Red Moon. Of course, I will work hard to write this book down.
For no other reason than this, this book itself was written to make up for my regrets and become my masterpiece.
I just want to write about the feeling of being drowned by life, the feeling of being attacked by painful memories, the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world and still lighting up a cigarette to continue.
