Some reference experiences for new writers
I have been writing a book for four years, and I have some experience. I can’t talk about my experience. After all, my grades are not very good. But I think new authors can avoid many unnecessary detours, so I wrote them out.
1: Regarding the issue of signing a novel.
Those who followed this novel earlier may know that I couldn’t sign a contract when I was 800,000 words. An author who was familiar with the editor asked me and then signed it.
My suggestion is that if you really like writing, it doesn’t matter whether you sign a contract or not. But if you don’t sign a contract if you don’t have a contract if you really like writing... It’s recommended to cut it.
When I was writing, I thought that sharpening my knife would not delay the chopping of wood. No matter how bad the grades were, I would insist on finishing my writing. Instead of constantly cutting books, polishing a work, whether it is practicing or accumulating popularity, it is better than constantly opening a book.
But if you really have to wait for hundreds of thousands to sign the contract, the works will basically no longer improve.
For example, when the editor gave the recommendation position, the exposure rate soared. The 200,000 yuan was put on the shelves. The book friend finished reading the free chapters in half an hour, and then subscribed. The results were very good during the shelves, and then they successfully advanced to the next recommendation.
If 800,000 yuan is only available on the shelves, even if it is on a very good recommendation position, the data during the shelves will not be very good. The time for listing is so short, and only a small number of people who read the 800,000 yuan free word count in a few days and then subscribe will be a small number.
2: About the number of words coded every day.
If you have not signed a contract, it is recommended to ensure at least one update every day, which can basically ensure the retention of book friends and the popularity will accumulate slowly. It is not recommended to update two or three chapters today, and then not update tomorrow, or to update a lot every few days, which is not advisable.
If you sign a contract and just want to get full attendance, it is recommended to code at least three chapters a day. Although the full attendance is only available for two updates per day, each chapter will be at least two thousand words (the rules for full attendance in the new contract have changed), there is a saying, "The law is above, the law is below, the law is within, and the law is below."
What does it mean? The goal is to update two chapters a day. Without thinking, you will definitely encounter some unexpected situations and stop attending. After working hard for a month, if something goes wrong on the last day, it will be gone, which will greatly affect your mentality.
Similarly, if you plan to make ten thousand words of achievement every day, you have to make ten thousand words of goal positioning every day.
3: Codec tools.
Generally, you can just go to the next app. I use my mobile phone to code. Some authors use computers. I have never used it. I don’t know which of these two is faster.
But I heard that there are voice writing software that are very fast! You can say (write) 6,000 words in an hour.
But I have several voice software on Baidu, either charging or I don’t know how to use it. You can find a useful resource to try it out.
4: Code font speed.
Newcomers are slow to write. I forgot how long I started to write two thousand words, but about a year later, I can basically code two thousand words in one hour.
It is recommended to concentrate the time of typing for one time, which is very efficient. It is not recommended to write one thousand in the morning and another thousand in the afternoon.
5: Pay special attention to typos.
Although this problem is inconspicuous, don't think it is a small problem.
Looking back at the time when I was the most proficient in junior high school and high school knowledge and skills, I wrote an 800-word article for several times and there were still some typos.
As for online articles, because they read quickly, a typo in 800 words is equivalent to a typo in just a few seconds of reading. It is extremely destructive of the reading experience and is unbearable.
The requirement for typos in online articles is to try to achieve 100,000 and 200,000 without a typo, which is not simple.
Besides, when it comes to checking typos, everyone should have experience. If you have just written the article, it is difficult to find any problems again. If you check it again the next day, you can almost 100% check it out.
So try to save more manuscripts. When publishing the article, it is checked from more than ten days ago, so it is easy to check it out.
5: Writing misunderstandings that new authors, especially fan writers, should pay attention to.
I don’t know why, but I think many people like to use “典” when writing fantasy. The word “典” ends with each sentence, which is very poisonous.
When newcomers write articles, try to be more restrained, so they don’t need to use “them” if they can.
Similar words include "媞", "媞", "媞", etc. These two-dimensional works often use auxiliary words tone and should not appear too frequently.
6: Try to describe the environment, movements and expressions as much as possible to enrich the writing.
Basically, most new authors will get into this misunderstanding. An article is full of names and dialogues from top to bottom, and the legendary script-style writing (laughs).
Example:
"I won't admit defeat." Uehara said.
"You can't be my opponent, be enlightened!" Orochimaru sneered.
And if the environment description is added, it will become like this-
"I won't admit defeat." Uehara said, and the heavy rain poured on him, and he didn't move as if he was not affected.
"You can't be my opponent, be enlightened!" Orochimaru sneered, with several Iwamnin's corpses falling beneath his feet. The blood stained the rain red, and soon was diluted by more falling rain.
Then, let’s add the description of action and expression, and it will become like this-
"I won't admit defeat." Uehara spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped away the rain from his face randomly, staring at Orochimaru without any retreat, and the heavy rain poured on him, and he didn't move as if he was not affected.
"You can't be my opponent, be enlightened!" Orochimaru stretched out his slender tongue and licked the blood of Kuao. He sneered, looking at Uehara as if he was looking at a dead corpse. Several Iwagen's corpses were falling beneath his feet. The blood stained the rain red, and was soon diluted by more falling rain.
This is the essence of the full text, (of course it is also the most important secret of hydrology! But this rich description of hydrology is actually very conscientious.)
7: About book reviews.
During my newcomer period, I pay attention to chapter comments and book reviews every day, saying that I don’t write well, and I keep things like swearing.
Because I think other people’s criticism is also very important.
But later when I went to find someone else's book to read, I found that I first read the comment area. If there were one or two bad comments in the comment area, I took it away directly. When I thought, if there were one or two bad comments in my comment area, I would persuade passers-by to leave.
After all, online articles are products, making money is the most important thing. Make sure that your book review area does not say all the good reviews, at least you can’t let passers-by see too many bad reviews.
8: Feedback from readers that the author gets.
Newcomers will position themselves based on the reviews of book friends. Whether the writing is good or bad, what are the problems, etc.
But as for my article, I once saw my article on a pirated app. They said that the protagonist's ability in the middle of my article was chaotic, the plot was chaotic, and the words were very detailed. I was shocked at that time. I thought these problems were problems (because I could not find a job during that period of time, and I thought that the eunuchs didn't want to write them anymore, so I wrote them very chaotic).
These book reviews that point out the work incisively and point out the problem of the work generally do not appear at the starting point, which involves survivor deviations. Since those who leave messages specifically in your work comment section are basically people who think that your work can be read.
So if a new author wants to get feedback, he can take a look at it on multiple platforms.
9: About advertising.
Newbies with vibrant and enthusiastic must have the experience of advertising all over the world!
I first advertised this fan book, and added Naruto Post Bar and Naruto Group, and posted links every day, but it successfully attracted the first group of readers of the book.
Then share my unsatisfactory advertising experience.
Pay attention to books like the category and so on in each issue, and go to their book review area to post advertisements for their books, but be polite. It is normal for others to delete posts and ban comments.
The second is advertising in the comment section of similar works.
Also, if you want to post your own books to the fan group of authors of similar works, of course, you must first obtain the author's consent.
If you have enough energy, there is a stronger publicity method - go to similar books, read the other party's fan list, and chat with readers in the top ten of the reward list one by one, and recommend your book. Wherever you are sincere, gold and stone will open up.
11: Don’t tell anyone any outline of your novel.
My novel has a plot that I am more satisfied with or even original, which is the protagonist who draws water resources from the Rain Country to the Wind Country, and uses water to maintain a huge ninja alliance.
Then a new author asked me the outline, and I wanted to show off and told him, and then he wrote it in his novel, which was even earlier than me. Haha.
10: About Naruto Fans.
My Naruto fan has touched many minefields, such as the start time is too early and the protagonist is not Konoha.
First of all, the Naruto fan starts at the beginning. If the start is too early, the authors will encounter a dilemma where the protagonist is getting stronger and stronger, strong enough to change history and the author does not want to change the plot too much.
For example, the protagonist's second ninja war starts. After the third battle, the protagonist's shadow level is still happening, and the night of Konoha's Nine Tails still happens.
The protagonist happens to go out? Isn’t it a fool to go out even though the protagonist knows the plot? This is too deliberate and stiff.
The protagonist is not strong enough? Then he survived twice and endured the battle and lived a lonely life.
The most critical plot point for Naruto is the Nine Tails Night.
I personally think there are many options for the opening time of Naruto fan.
One type is that the protagonist is also born during the Nine Tails Night, and he goes through the plot and grows up with Naruto and others.
One type is that the protagonist is slightly bigger than Naruto and takes the route of guiding Naruto. At this beginning, it is recommended that the protagonist be about the same size as Kakashi, with certain strength, and is not enough to change the plot of the Nine Tails Night.
Of course, there are also people who start with the same generation as Sannin, but the beginning is so early, can the Nine Tails Night make changes? If Obito changes the key plot, the author will need a lot of original plots and a lot of workload in the future. If Jiraiya and others are in the same generation as Jiudae, but still cannot make changes by the Nine Tails Night, then the character creation will be a bit failure.
Personally, I think that the best thing for Naruto to start is to be the same as Kakashi. This way, not only will it have your own growth to write, but Naruto and others will also write when they grow up, but it can also add elements of farming. For example, collecting blood and forming your own ninja organization. If you are the same as Naruto, there will be no tricks of competing for the hegemony to write. Let Naruto form a force? Obviously it is impossible.
Therefore, the starting timeline of Kakashi's contemporary ninja is the best. It is not necessary to deliberately avoid the plot of the Nine Tails Night, but you can also write about your own growth, form your own forces to farm, and guide Naruto. In this way, there is too much to write besides fighting, which is easy to read million words.
Also, I personally think that "style of painting" is very important. When writing fan and character dialogue lines, try to conform to the original style, such as, "Naruto, you don't have to worry." This straightforward and simple description is better than, "Naruto, you can rest assured." This description is better. The latter is good in literary talent, but you must know that there is no such idiom in Japan, so it is very inconsistent.
The rest is named.
When I was writing this book, I racked my brains to name it because I wrote about other ninja villages and needed a lot of original characters.
Then I suddenly realized that the weirder the name, the more consistent the style of Naruto. Then I typed a pinyin casually and kept pulling down to find the most uncommon characters to name, Hinata (tu), Ni (ya), Fuma Lei Zang, Toba (ke), Shibian, and Shibian. These names were all named after I found uncommon characters. Sure enough, the style of the painting was partially consistent, but it was too much. I named a bunch of difficult names and was criticized by book friends.
So if you need many original characters, you can refer to my method, which is also applicable to naming ninjutsu.
For example, if you want to create a thunder escape. The technique of sealing thunder is just the norm, you might as well name it Thunder escape. The technique of sealing thunder prison, the technique of wind escape and wind blowing, has been changed to the technique of wind escape and wind roaring. Although it is difficult to pronounce, this is the style of Naruto.
Finally, it is recommended that the Naruto fan Konoha start, and there are too many originals in other ninja villages.
