I Can’t Be a Sword God

Leave Testimonials: The Million Itch of a Book

The recent state is a bit indescribable, very poor.

Several comments have said during this period that the plot of this episode is boring.

In fact, I feel the same way.

The main reason is not that there is nothing wrong with it, but that my mentality has come to a period of burnout.

When every author starts a book, he absolutely thinks the story is very interesting, and then he wants to tell it to others, write it for others, with great enthusiasm.

But I never thought that this book would be able to walk, and I never thought that it would take so long to write.

Although I always thought that I was good at both writing and humor, there was no reason why I couldn't get up...but it was just thinking about it.

If someone tells me that a rookie can achieve this result, I will believe it. But if you say that this newcomer is me, I definitely don't believe it.

If I believe it... I have to change the title of the book to something less hasty.

When it was first launched half a year ago, the first order was more than 4,000. I still clearly remember the state of mind at that time, which was flattered and too happy to fall asleep.

At that time, I had great enthusiasm for the story, thinking about the plot every day, thinking about how it would be interesting to unfold. Even the first two months when I didn't earn a penny, I lived happily every day.

But when a book reaches a million words, you will encounter Kaner.

After all, writing novels is much more tiring than reading novels. Around the beginning of Chinese New Year, I suddenly felt that I didn't like to think about the plot very much. My enthusiasm for this story seems to be less strong, and every day coding starts to become a task, and I feel uncomfortable.

Even I have a resistance to all texts, and I can't read any other novels.

In the past, it might take me six hours to write 4,000 words, deleting, deleting, and modifying. Recently, it only takes three hours. If you don’t think about the plot in advance, and just pull it down after writing, the energy density will naturally not be that high.

Writing a novel is not like manual labor. You can force yourself to do it, but it is hard anyway.

And other ideas started to pop up in my mind like crazy, I want to write double-opening, I want to write new ideas, I want to find a girlfriend, I want to write a medium-length publication, I want to write a public account, I want to write a script to kill...

There are many good ideas that make me feel very excited.

But I dismissed these thoughts in time.

Because I know myself too well, with my laziness, it is already the limit to barely afford the daily update of a book, and any extra thoughts are irresponsible.

I asked the editor, and the editor probably said that there is no good way. Every book reaches 600,000 to 700,000 words or a million words, and there will be this kind of burnout period, which can only be adjusted by the author himself. Many authors can't handle it, and basically end at this word count.

Probably like the seven-year itch in marriage?

Of course I won’t finish it. The plan when I started the book was eight volumes, eight hundred and eight chapters, and two million words. I don’t want to write more, nor do I want to write less.

So I have been trying to adjust for a while.

(Referring to running out to play during the day.)

When you see those big novels that can write millions, this is actually the case.

It's just that people either have a prepared outline to support it, or they have a framework... I am inherently deficient in this regard.

Either I update casually, and I want to write and write again... In this respect, I am not enough to compare with the above, and I am more than enough to compare with the following.

Otherwise, after reaching a certain number of words, start writing casually. There are some well-known old books, but no one has subscribed them anymore, so they just hang around like this. It is because there are many words in the front, as long as it is not finished, new readers will keep pouring in, and you can make a lot of money by writing casually.

But I don't want this. At least my expectation for this book is that it will be exciting from the beginning to the end.

Thanks to the structure of this unit drama, even if my condition is bad for a period of time, at most it will affect a plot, and it will not collapse.

In the past two days, I finally feel that my state has recovered a little bit. I started to use my brain to think of new things, I would find it funny because I thought of a certain plot, and I could regain the fun of the story.

Moreover, I went back to look for bad reviews.

When I was a thief with fighting spirit before, because the troll was almost banned by me forever, I often went to Youshu.com and pirated comments to see how those sbs scolded, and then came back full of fighting spirit and started coding, ready to hit them s face.

The one that is particularly funny is that some people probably said that this book is all a routine, that is, when other people encounter troubles, they come to the protagonist, and the protagonist solves it.

Use this to demonstrate that the routine is repeated, and the author is rubbish.

This kind of person probably looks like Conan, and after watching three episodes, he will feel that the routine is repetitive.

Because every episode is going out to encounter a murder case, and then the detective will come forward to solve it.

As for the core of the story hidden under the simple form of promoting the story, it probably won't be able to understand it by putting ten turbochargers on its little head.

The unit form of the third volume and the fourth volume is not so strong, and the core of the story is somewhat repetitive, but it is not serious. Although I did tasks in the first two volumes, I almost made the core of each plot different.

At that time, I really analyzed the core of many classic stories.

It is probably different combinations of character relationships, emotional transitions, plot explosive points, etc., which is why each time it is solved with a sword, but still can write more than a million words.

Because I really thought about it with my heart, not those young geniuses who slapped their heads, oh! It's just repetitive routines and bad stalks.

Good idea, hey.

In the recent episodes, it can be clearly felt that when I can't pay so much attention, the explosive point of the plot becomes very weak. As a reader, the most direct feeling is that it is boring.

Fortunately, everyone still gave me a lot of tolerance.

Really appreciate all the support friends.

It can be seen that I like Deyun Club, and Lao Guo treats the audience as his parents and absolutely respects them.

This has always been the case with my readers.

So as long as I have spent money on this book, even if it is too much, I will delete it silently, and I don't want to reply.

And for those who still like to read this book, I really tried my best not to let you down.

The update problem that has been criticized all the time, in fact, I also want to improve... within my ability.

But if you want to write well, you really need to take a day off to work out the follow-up outline.

Having said so much, it is probably just to explain the previous question. Then let me express that I have regained my enthusiasm, and I will work harder to devote my limited life to infinite creation.

Um.
