The title note of the last chapter the night before seemed to be misleading. My fault, the book should have written 3 million words, and the main plot is only about 60% complete now, so it is not impossible.
When I wrote the second half of the fourth volume, my overall feeling was that I had no bottom. On the one hand, this "no bottom" was aimed at the readers. When a book falls into the trap of "updates are getting slower and slower, and more and more people are reading it"
After a vicious cycle of "fewer and fewer", the few remaining "supporters" actually became the biggest "victims." This conclusion is outrageous - "As long as I give up quickly enough, the author will
You can't trick me", and those people who choose to stay and support you in difficult times become the people you feel most sorry for.
On the other hand, the "no bottom" is directed at myself. After the battle line is extended, not only is it difficult for readers to follow the reading, but my own "tracking and evaluation" of writing effectiveness has also suddenly become blind, and I cannot judge the recent tens of thousands of words.
How is the writing done? What problems need to be adjusted? Just like a person who has been unable to have a physical examination for a long time. Even if he does not feel sore or in pain physically and can eat and sleep, he still wonders "Is there any serious illness that has not been discovered?"
Still not sure at all
But from the time I finished writing the end of the main text to before writing the summary chapter today, I quickly read the entire "Kingdom of Heaven" volume by myself, and I felt like it was okay?
At least I breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe the reason why I write slowly is not because I have run out of ideas, but because I really don’t have time to write. In addition, the outline also has a certain stabilizing effect, so when I look at it, my mood
It is still consistent with the plot, and all the holes that need to be filled in this volume have been filled in. I feel that the overall completion level still meets the original expectations.
So, it should be okay if the reader reads it in one go. It’s just to catch up on the experience or something. Well, let’s change the topic.
"Symphony No. 4 in G major" occupies a very special position in Mahler's creative career.
The first three symphonies are the history of his spiritual wandering and the first stage of his soul's exile. They respectively explore people's "view of heroes", "view of death" and "view of nature". They are cool enough and epic enough, but
It's also very tiring, both physically and mentally.
Therefore, in Mahler's original idea, the "fourth" position should function like a "safe haven" or "rest station for the soul". After finishing the first stage of the journey, he really wanted to be able to
Take a moment to breathe.
Back to Fan Ning’s story, as early as the second volume of the “Candlelight Dinner” plot, Roy said after hearing him play Mozart’s piano sonata: “If Mr. Fan Ning can write a symphony like this in the rest of his life,
Even if you don't get the current situation at that time, I will confirm that you must be living a very happy life without any sadness or tragedy."
When Fan Ning later conceived "Fourth" in the Abnormal Zone, he was motivated by this sentence. He wanted to shorten the length of the work, reduce the orchestration, simplify the musical form structure, and create an innocent theme and character.
To write a symphony with the legacy of classicism, for example, to depict the beautiful life in heaven through the innocent imagination of a child.
But after all, Fan Ning is not Mozart, nor does he possess the "innocent heart" which is one of the common talent templates of online protagonists. The cheerful music he writes is still mixed with various images of death, fearful emotions and weird symbols from time to time.
.
I don’t know what Roy will think when he actually hears this piece of music.
"Everyone who has left this world is singing for joy." This preface may sound a bit detached or sacred at first, but upon closer inspection, it is inconsistent, fragmented, and cannot withstand careful scrutiny.
It would be perfect to put the plot of the investigation into the Abnormal Zone into this volume to match the music and introduce some psychotic secret cult organizations and villains.
By the way, after I actually wrote a book for the first time, I gradually discovered that the design of the plot is not "hardly imagined" by the author, but depends on whether your initial conception and purpose are clear. For example, since here, since you want to
To describe a process of "the gradual collapse of order", it must start with strict order, so the plot must be set in the Western Continent with a strong religious atmosphere, and Fan Ning must play a rigid priest - these answers are all
It can be delivered stably.
A priest should look like a priest, especially this old-fashioned "Lavoisier". In addition to his appearance and temperament, his words and deeds must be well-founded, and his lines must follow my consciousness as a "modern online article author"
, it will definitely appear that you are not attentive enough. If you rise to the top of the church simply because you "showed your skills and pretended to be brave", you will not be able to convince the readers.
So everyone sees Lavoisier pretending to be cool all the time. Others pretend to be cool to make big news, but he is different. In the eyes of others, when he eats, drinks, talks and talks, he is just showing off.
Although this volume begins with a religious atmosphere, it should not be too preachy or serious, as that would be too traditional literature. It just so happens that Fan Ning is just a "fake". To be honest with you, the above is just my pretense of atmosphere. Readers
There's a lot of fun, and it's not boring.
Almost all of Lavoisier's lines are adapted or imitated from the Bible and related scriptures and manuals. It is indeed very time-consuming to polish the lines to fit the plot under such a strict formula.
In an online article, you don’t need to say how much space the protagonist’s lines should take up.
