Deep Sea Embers

Unconsciously, another new year is approaching, and the editor said that I have been immersed in typing for another year. It is best to write something and communicate with readers at the end of the year. After thinking about it, I think he is right. right.

In fact, I am very bad at writing this kind of "communication chapter". Everyone who is familiar with me should know that it is okay for me to just bury my head in writing, but if you really ask me to write such a serious "communication letter" But it’s too difficult. After all, I only have one sentence to write down the whole speech - I have been holding back these more than 100 words for half an hour, so if there is anything behind this that does not match the preface and the follower, I still have to write it down. Please bear with me.

From the first time I opened the book in 2010 to now, I have written four novels in more than ten years, and now I have achieved some success. I am very lucky to have finally realized my childhood dream: to be a Writers, write some stories that you like, and at the same time, many people like the stories you write. This dream comes true because there are so many people who are willing to come with me, read my stories, and like me. Readers of Brain Hole - Life is long, and it is very difficult to find a few like-minded people on such a long road. It is difficult to find even temporary like-minded people and like-minded people in a specific field. Fortunately, I Great success in this matter.

I'm really happy that so many people are willing to read my story, and I'm also honored that my story can bring happiness to so many people - happiness is really one of the most precious things in life, and I can give this It's great that it's done.

"Embers of the Deep" is the best one among my four novels so far. To be honest, the results are even a bit beyond my imagination - I tried something new in this book, I wrote a lot of content that I had been imagining in my mind but had no chance to add until this book (such as the harmonious elements in the novel hunting route, such as creating a protagonist camp with all bosses from the enemy's perspective), which is very I'm glad to see that so many people like these things - it seems that the original direction of "boss-level protagonist forming a harmonious gang in a strange world" was indeed the right decision.

However, some readers who are following the update may have noticed that the main story of "Embers of the Deep" has actually reached an advanced stage recently - although there is still some distance from the completion of the book, it has indeed reached the end.

Old readers who are accustomed to my first three long novels may feel a little surprised. After all, according to my past length, a book usually takes three to four years and five to six million words. "Embers of the Deep" is now two hundred The length of more than 10,000 words seems too short in front of Xiling, Abnormal and Dawn.

The reason why I choose to finish now is because writing a long article is really tiring, and my energy now is indeed not as good as it was more than ten years ago. It is impossible to chew long articles forever - sooner or later, this will affect the quality of the article. On the other hand, it’s because this is a length that has been planned from the beginning of "Embers of the Deep" - after writing three long novels in a row, I wanted to try a new plot structure and length control to see if it would work. Can I still write a good story in a shorter length.

If I can, I will have the opportunity to build more worlds before I retire - after all, no matter how many brains I have, life will be short. If I really have to follow the pace of one book in the past four years, how many brains will I need? Buried in regret...

Frankly speaking, making this decision is quite stressful. After all, "Embers of the Deep" is indeed my best book so far. At just over two million words long, its current subscription volume has exceeded that of "Dawn" The total subscriptions of "Sword of Sword" since its publication - Under normal circumstances, many authors would try to make such a book as long as possible, and continue as long as they can, until they can no longer continue after a few years - but I feel that this is wrong .

This is disrespectful to Duncan, his crew, and everyone on The Expanse.

They should have a good story that has a beginning and an end, instead of gradually becoming disgusting in endless refills of plain water.

Of course, although it’s now time to start finishing, you don’t have to worry that “Embers of the Deep” will be finished suddenly in the near future. You all know how fast I finish the game. With so many pits dug ahead, I estimate that I will at least still have to finish it. It will take a few months to get it all sorted out - thinking about it this way, it seems a bit early to finish it now.

So everyone can look forward to it - Captain Duncan and his crew still have a wonderful journey. This journey will not end soon, but it will definitely end at the most appropriate and exciting time.

After that, the Lost Home will still sail to a distant place.

Ah, speaking of this, it suddenly occurred to me that there is actually another small reason why I want to finish "Embers of the Deep" - the urge to start a new book is just around the corner.

In the past two years, I have accumulated many new ideas and many interesting ideas, but a problem bothers me: the structure of "Embers of the Deep" is too complete, so that many new ideas and ideas generated during the writing process are I can't even fit it into my mind.

After thinking about it, I think there is only one solution.

I have to dig a new hole.jpg.

Of course, this pit won’t be able to be seen by you for a while, and I have to clean it up - so everyone should just soak in the boundless sea for now...

…

Unconsciously, I talked about so many things, and when I looked up, I saw that it was already late at night.

One step closer to the New Year.

I hope you don't mind the inconsistency between the preface and the postscript - I'm really not good at writing this.

I just feel like it’s great to have readers like you. It’s great to be able to realize my original dream. It’s great to be able to write something I like and bring happiness to people.

In this life, it is quite remarkable to be able to succeed in one thing. I am very lucky to have found a path, and I will continue to go on this path - if the world I built in the book gives people Even if you bring a little happiness and joy to me in front of the screen, it will be a great motivation and encouragement for me to continue writing.

Finally, the new year is coming——

I wish you in front of the screen everything goes well, good health, and happiness.
