Embers

In the darkness of the early morning, I typed the last word of "Legend of Embers".Rubbing his eyes and looking up, the sky outside the window has begun to turn white.

My debut novel is finally finished.

The full text has a total of 39 words. It was written in early December last year and published on December 12 last year. It lasted about six months, starting at the end of winter and ending at the beginning of summer.

The number of words is a little less than expected, but all that can be said has been said, so there is no need to delay deliberately because of the number of words.

This article is very important to me. For it, I often stay up all night, deduce repeatedly, modify the structure, often think about a detail and think of insomnia, and often have very heated discussions with friends in the early morning.When writing, I carefully consider every word and sentence, and sometimes delete and modify it.

I am very grateful to my friends, especially Shijiu, who patiently accompanied me to find out conflicts, resolve conflicts, analyze characters, etc., etc., and wrote extra episodes and long comments for "Biography of Embers".Without it, "Legend of Embers" would be much, much worse than it is now.

I also sincerely thank the readers who have been with me. I will remember every reader who left me a comment, especially Fairy Mi, who has always supported me and given me enough motivation to keep writing.

Although this article is very thorough, with few clicks, only 131 bookmarks, and few comments, as long as there is one person reading it, I will insist on finishing it. This is the basic quality of an author.

I'm sorry, at the beginning I said that I would stick to the daily watch, but for some reason, I had a serious mental problem, so I stopped watching for a long time, which made me feel extremely guilty.

I have put a lot of thought into this article.First of all, in terms of storyline, one purpose has always been maintained, which is to be true.

If there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if you make a mistake, you must be punished, so Ye Bozhou died in the end, Ember was in pain all his life, and Nie Budu couldn't love it...

Secondly, in terms of writing, as mentioned earlier, for the sake of suspense, I tried my best to not notice it at first glance, but after knowing the truth, I found that there were foreshadowing everywhere.Later, the framework began to expand, and some changes occurred in the writing style.

Finally, characterization.I don't want my characters to be thin, like many novels, with only one face.In reality, everyone has many faces, and it is his experience that creates these faces.I have thought about what kind of experience everyone in the story has, so detailed that everyone may use it as the protagonist to write a book, so that we can better understand what they think in their hearts and write their characters. It's much easier.

Like Ember, I don’t know if you have felt that his character at the beginning is different from the character at the end.At the beginning, it was gloomy, indifferent, and full of despair about the world.The last is indifference, fatigue, seeing everything clearly, and the connection with everything around has faded.

It is because of the changes experienced, but also because of the passage of age.

Like Li Mei, he is gentle from beginning to end, but in the later stage, he has matured a lot and changed a lot.

Like Ye Bozhou, he was a bit cunning and playful when he first met Ember, but he was gentle and mature when he was in his 30s.

As for how to express the action, how to write the dialogue properly, where to go into details and where to be brief, I have considered these for a long time.

But there are also many shortcomings.

The knowledge is limited, and many places are conveniently written poorly.For example, will you fall to your death if you fall into a pool from a cliff, what method should be used to manage a group of people, and some ancient common sense issues are also neglected.As for the writing style, it matured a lot in the later stage, but it was still very immature in the early stage, and many places were not handled properly.

Furthermore, it is a typo.I have always had a bad habit of posting as soon as I finish writing. In fact, I should check the typos, and I will seriously correct them in the next book. Thank you for your tolerance. You have never accused me of this issue.

And because I was a novice before, I didn’t realize the typography problem. I will pay attention to adding blank paragraphs in the next book. I heard that it will make readers feel comfortable.

"The Legend of Embers" is only the first book in the Ning Dynasty Fengyun series. The second book is a story about Chu Jian's senior brother, the peerless medical fairy, with the same background, and it is also a Tanmei novel. It may be shorter than this one. "A Pot of Night Snow in the World" will start pre-collection on July 7 (because the author has to prepare for the terrible final exam during this period...), I still hope that everyone can support it, and I will treat it with a more rigorous attitude New article.

I have finished all I want to say. Finally, on the road of writing, I will continue unswervingly and write more and better stories!
