I write this because this is an activity of Qidian. It can open the "Good Luck Red Envelope Easter Egg Chapter" and friends who participate in the comment interaction can draw some coins.
I have been writing this book for almost two years. As a first-time author, I never expected that I could write nearly three million words.
Many people say that updates are slow and the number of words is small. In fact, I really can't write fast. It usually takes more than 5 hours to code 4,000 words. I often can't finish writing for a long time because I am tangled in one or two sentences.
In two years, the only month I had full attendance was only one month, and the third shift was only one day. Looking back afterwards, I found that there were many flaws in the logic and content of the story I wrote during that period, and I later went back and made many changes.
It’s actually easy to write fast, nonsense, trolling, and war scenes, but as a former reader, I don’t like reading it if I write too much.
The current plot has long been separated from the outline, so as some people said, I know the direction of the story half a day before you do.
Because my ambition is too big, the space is too wide, and the story lines are too wide, I often write about North America or Southeast Asia today, and jump back to the Manchu Qing Dynasty tomorrow; the language, mentality, and logic of thinking about problems are all different.
Sometimes I can't translate it and it becomes very difficult to write.
In the historical novels I read in the past, I often used tens of thousands of words to describe the events of a region and then left it alone, mentioning only a few sentences at most. I would dig holes back and forth and fill them in. For example, the plot of George Vancouver appearing in San Francisco, I
I also discovered it accidentally while reading the history of the Spanish colonization of California. This man traveled between Vancouver Island and Monterey many times during that time, so he would definitely be able to detect any changes in San Francisco.
Sodik's death was something I had already thought about when I first started writing about this character. If you are interested in how miserable the life of the Hui people in Xinjiang was in the 18th to 19th centuries, you can read "Records of Hearings and Seeings of the Western Regions". Anyway, read it
My feeling after finishing it was that many things had been foreshadowed since then.
It is easy to say that it is easy to stand up and fight against the local tyrants, but it is far more difficult to launch it at the end of the 18th century than it was more than a hundred years later. The awareness of the people at the bottom and the Beihai Navy themselves will face many difficulties. To awaken the numb people not only requires blood, but also clean up.
Only the ability to mess up the stalls is good, otherwise it will really bring disaster to the world.
That's it, I will continue to work hard, and I hope everyone will continue to support me.
