On November 3rd, senior brother finished the book, although he was very reluctant to part with it.
When finishing the chapter, the author himself fell into a mood of unwillingness to finish the book, so he was slow to update.
I originally wanted to write more stories about the rain after the ancient times, but due to the control of the overall rhythm, it is best to end it at this time. .
There are too many other stories to write, and there is still a long way to go in creation. Senior Brother is ‘my masterpiece at this stage’, but it should not be ‘my only masterpiece’.
Our book should be regarded as a relatively high-level work, and the concepts and core it wants to express are quite sufficient. The book discusses Taoist philosophy, materialism, and dialectics. Some mind extensions.
Next, I will reflect and settle down, re-imagine the plot that my senior brother did not handle well, study hard, work hard to improve my writing, make up for my shortcomings, and continue to use my strengths.
I have always been grateful to the readers. I will accept the friend requests sent through the reader group, and I will try my best to communicate with the readers in a normal manner.
Are you afraid of being an author who has become a resident essayist?
Many people criticize me for caring too much about readers’ feelings, but readers have given me this food, allowing me to support my family well while adhering to the ideal of writing. What I can give back to readers is to conceive. , to polish your own story.
Respecting readers is the poisonous point of avoiding readers. The writing techniques and creative ideas, readers...most of them can't guess it, hehehe.
Brother, in this book, I tell you the story of Li Changshou, but it is not just the story of Li Changshou.
Myth.
Myths are symbols of national culture. Each era has different interpretations of myths. I am using Li Changshou’s perspective to interpret a small part of China’s myths. I want to present to you a [Oh , it turns out that this kind of fantasy world can still be possible.
Even if the online novel itself does not require contradictions and conflicts, I did not want to portray Daozu as a villain at the beginning, but simply conflicted with Li Changshou's ideas. It was the two positions that finally decided the winner. Lose, and then the loser will eat the dust.
This is a little bit of a trade-off. The existence of conflict is to make everyone watch more smoothly~
In the later period, the combat power of Honghuangliu increased and the plot pattern changed. The feeling of tearing caused by the situation put me under a lot of pressure. In the early and mid-term, I could live under the wings of the big boss, but in the later stage, he had to stand up, which was inconsistent with our intention and caused a lot of discomfort.
Fortunately, I managed to survive from the beginning to the end.
In my personal opinion, one thing that is very bad about my senior is that he squeezes too much of my time and energy.
In more than a year, a work of 35.6 million words was produced. Each chapter started with 4,000 to 5,000 words, and the average day was closer to 10,000 words.
This does not include the serialization of the first sword before this, and the short-term double-opening.
To be honest, it’s really tiring.
But the creative process is very happy.
If you want to write words that can impress readers, the most basic thing is to love these words.
As an author, it’s really embarrassing to be able to write about myself crying in my own story; but when I wrote the chapter about the death of Master Qi Yuan, I really almost collapsed. It was an emotional collapse. I don’t know why I set such an outline, but that chapter is necessary.
After I finished writing the first draft of that chapter, I quickly adjusted the rhythm and eased the overall mood. After all, the overall writing style was brisk and not meant to be sensational. It had to be done from the beginning to the end, and there was not so much bitterness and hatred. .
Sometimes when I write these 10,000-word chapters, it really feels like I am risking my life to write. I am immersed in it. I don’t move for several hours. I stand up and move around. My feet are numb and my throat is numb because of it. I forgot to drink water and was so swollen that I couldn't speak...but it felt good.
Fortunately, these big chapters were completed well.
Which chapter is your favorite? Or which plot? Zhang said to leave a message and do something similar in the future.
The author of the online article in the series does not have a holiday. There are many times when I am not in a good state. I will be irritable, depressed, and even lie in bed so tired that I don’t want to move. I feel like I have just slept like this for two days. God forbid, so the quality of articles must have its ups and downs, so we can only try to maintain it as much as possible.
But in the end, I persisted and presented the story I wanted to write to the best of my ability at this stage.
In the process of serializing Brother, I have grown a lot and learned how to adjust myself.
The only good thing is that my almost three-year-old daughter is no stranger to me, and my wife has always given me the greatest encouragement.
After finishing Brother, I will rest for a few days, then finish the first sword, and then rest for half a month, go back to my hometown to see my parents and grandma, go out for a walk with my wife and children, and then write a new book.
I will write the new book until I am satisfied with it, and then release it to everyone. The overall framework and worldview conception have been completed, and I will write additional stories about my senior brother during the period. In fact, half a year ago, after the overall structure of my senior brother was completed, I am already thinking about the framework of the new book.
The world view of the new book is somewhat related to the world view of the senior brother. For example, there will be a long-lived distant disciple who plays a military advisor-type supporting role (a joke). It is a new story and a new world view, and will not follow the old path of the senior brother. Of course, my writing style is fairy-tale light comedy. I will not lose this and will continue to improve it.
Many people think that my new book is quite stressful. In fact, it is not the case. I am just anxious (嘤嘤嘤).
Thinking about it from my point of view, if the new book does not do well, many people will definitely say that - A gust of wind, The talent is exhausted, and The senior brother is really an accident.
Even if the results of the new book are okay, there will definitely be people who are not optimistic about it.
But in fact, these are nothing.
I myself don’t pay too much attention to these (there is still some appropriate attention). I pay more attention to the core of the story I want to express in the new book, the plot of the story I want to write, and how to have a relaxed writing style.Expand and maintain, how to continue to improve and innovate in terms of personality.
The anxiety about new books actually comes from the fact that I don’t want to disappoint readers, editors, and even my family who are looking forward to new books.
My senior brother made me stand on a mountain that is neither high nor low. I will walk down this mountain and climb the next higher mountain, using all my energy in the next one to two years. , to write the next great work.
Even if the results of the new book will not be as ‘explosive’ as those of our seniors, pursuing quality and frantically deleting manuscripts will remain our unchanging main theme.
The theme of the new book is still a fairy-tale light comedy. It will have more blood, growth and warmth, and give everyone more different heavenly jokes.
If everything goes well, the new book will be available to everyone in December. I will communicate with you in the readership, and I will also regularly read the book reviews and chapters of the final reflection~
Farewell Yes, Xiao Qiongfeng.
Farewell, Li Changshou, Ling'e, Yunxiao, Zhao Gongming, His Majesty the Jade Emperor, Teacher Taiqing, Old Taoist Qiyuan, Uncle Jiujiu, Sister Youqin, Jiuwu, Lu Yue, Jin Ling Holy Mother, Jade Cauldron, Taiyi...
Farewell for now, readers who have been supporting my senior brother in various ways.
This is not just "My Senior Brother is Too Steady" written to get back to the point, it is also a long fairy tale that we witness and accompany together under the interaction of chapters and narratives.
The mountains are high and the road is far, let’s fight again in the new book.
Let’s continue the previous chapter and get back to the topic.
