40k: Midnight Blade

Let me first talk about the reason for taking leave today: I have tasted the benefits of writing a detailed outline, or a summary of the story, and I plan to completely sort out my own thoughts on the book and give the War of Terra the best ending I can.

Coupled with a certain degree of work and rest issues, I don’t plan to write the main article today. But I still want to say something else. As of now, I actually have mixed feelings ()

First of all, thank you for your support. I read every comment. I am also familiar with the name of the old readers who speak often or have read it since the last book. Thank you very much for your willingness to read the stories I wrote and your willingness to read this. However, when it comes to the last book.

How should I put it? The last book was 3.45 million, and this book is 1.69 million so far, and I have never written an exact outline.

To be more precise, it was after the book entered the Great Rebellion that I began to gradually realize how rare it is to write a long story with an outline, or a complete and normal story line.

Before this, the inheritance, development, and ending of all stories were all improvised by me. In other words, except for a few moments, I really only know the plot a little bit ahead of you.

You can scold me, I'll take it all ()

And the problem with writing it this way is very, very big. Now looking back at the chapters of the first battle, I can only say that it was everyone’s patience and my occasional flash of inspiration that saved this book ()

In fact, even now, when I look back at the early and middle chapters, I feel that I didn’t write enough here and that I didn’t write well there. Including the extra story of Fantasy, which I am quite satisfied with, I was actually slightly unhappy because of the word limit.

I wrote 6,000 words, but I didn’t feel anything wrong when I finished. After I finished writing, I felt that I could add some emotional description here, and it could be more detailed, not sharper, but fuller.

I feel that I have made progress since writing, but the process behind it is actually very painful.

When writing a book, the state of mind is ups and downs, the interference of real life, and the lamentation of "why my writing is so rubbish" will make people have the idea of ​​​​escape many times, and I happen to be a master of self-escape.

But I didn’t run away in the end because I had read online articles for many years and knew how disgusting the eunuch thing was, and I didn’t want to do it or escape. The only thing I was good at was writing something.

I've run away from a lot of things, wouldn't it be too cowardly to run away this time?

Then I wrote about Terra bit by bit.

The chapter names remain unchanged for dozens of chapters. As the protagonists, Khalil and Coze rarely appear, and sometimes their current situation is briefly mentioned in a few sentences. Switching back and forth between multiple perspectives, depressing and serious

These are all taboos in online writing, but I still write them like this. I’m not a stubborn person. Trust me, who doesn’t want to make more money? It’s not that I deliberately want to imitate the style of the original work of Black Library. I just have an idea when I write it.

I want to challenge myself, and I want to bring you the stories I wrote in my most serious state to the best of my ability.

Many years ago, my teacher told me that she thought I was wasting my life. The teacher said very seriously that she thought I could go further and she didn't understand why I had to stop at the just-passing level.

Of course, everyone has probably heard teachers say this. At that time, I just wanted to leave her office quickly and go back to read extracurricular books.

But now that I think about it, the look in that teacher’s eyes still touched me very much.

Her eyes were like a question, a question to myself from many years ago to the present.

Why stop there?

It’s great to only write 4k every day. The plot is only briefly touched upon, without any in-depth description, which is very enjoyable. The Great Rebellion is brushed aside, and it is also very satisfying to write about insignificant things lightly.

There is no need to go to great lengths to explore the 'attributes' of the four gods, describe their 'opposition', or to flesh out the writing and try to make the characters livelier.

These things are a little outweighed by the gains, but at least when I read what I have written, I will not feel angry or depressed, nor will the teacher jump out to question me.

I didn’t want to stop there, so I wanted to challenge myself, so I wrote war scenes that I was not familiar with and didn’t know how to write. I wrote multiple perspectives and switched back and forth, trying to depict a little bit of an epic feeling.

I still dare not say how good my writing is. I can only try to satisfy myself first.

Although many people think that Internet article writers are not considered creators, and are not even worthy of the word ‘author’ but only worthy of being called writers, I still hope that what I write can satisfy myself a little bit. That's all.

Anyway, let’s stop here. I went to have dinner. I slept all day and didn’t have much energy. Thank you for being here and saying two things.

First, each chapter will be a big chapter. Because the word count is small, I feel uncomfortable writing and reading.

Second, this book really won’t be finished after 30k is written. The 40k story will only be more exciting.
