The Witcher: My backyard leads to London

There are only tens of thousands to more than 100,000 words left. The pressure of life and books are superimposed. Here I would like to briefly share my experience summary of this book and my prospects for the new book to relieve the pressure. I hope some readers can give me some suggestions for the future. suggestion.

As mentioned before, Qingyu will focus on the intersection of the three elements of urban campus + sword and magic + gods and kingdoms.

And the intersection of these three elements is well done. Qingyu hasn't found one that he likes better yet. It may be due to the limitations of the elements themselves. At present, Qingyu is thinking of integrating the elements under the framework of the two worlds.

Therefore, in the next book, the two worlds will definitely interpenetrate each other. However, the two worlds may cross each other at the beginning, which will greatly reduce the reader's sense of immersion. This may be eliminated in the recommendation round. I thought of it. Eagle's "Global Gaowu", in fact, most of the content of "Gaowu" also writes about the two worlds of the earth and the underworld, but he brought out the underworld slowly and did not cross each other all the time, so it did not feel abrupt.

However, during the process of writing the book, Qing Yu discovered that I am better at writing elements about knights and gods, but magic elements are actually not as good at writing as I thought. If the next book is written in the same way as "Gaowu", it can only be written in modern times first, and then integrate magical elements to slowly bring out the magical world. But if the protagonist takes the path of a knight, it will feel very strange...

There is obviously magic in this world, but it would not be good if the protagonist is forced to become a knight after being exposed to magic...

If I abandon the magical elements and only write about knights and gods, I feel that it is not very good and deviates from my original intention...

Regarding this problem, I thought of a relatively perfect solution.

…

However, the next book will definitely not be placed under the theme of wizards, but will be placed under the themes of Two Realms + Sword and Magic.

When a newcomer writes, he must write according to the subject matter, otherwise the internal submission will not pass... The editor can tell at a glance whether the newcomer can write a book without subject matter.

…

Well, let's chat casually...

The question of the name comes to mind...

For the next book, the two worlds will start from modern high school. It is estimated that 80% of the whole book will have Chinese names and 20% of Western names. In fact, books such as "The Naming Technique of the Night" and "The Hidden Blind Spot", Everything is handled very well. In the modern context, elements such as knights and fantasy are written, and the Chinese and Western names are harmoniously harmonious. Maybe this is the special flavor brought by science fiction.

In fact, if possible, Qingyu would like to write a magic novel with Chinese names throughout, but most of the names are based on surnames such as Mori, Fei, Hai, Ko, Rich, etc. However, After thinking about it, maybe the flavor feels okay in the early stage, but it feels a bit problematic in the later stage. Imagine that the Star Goddess Hai X and the God of War Mori …

…

Thinking about the main line and the issues of origin, inheritance, transformation...

At the beginning of this book, Qingyu didn't quite understand what was the main plot and what was the continuation and continuation. However, recently, Qingyu has gained a deep understanding of the two. The main plot of the next book will probably be more compact, and the structure of each plot will definitely be Complete, not as fragmented as this book...

In addition, main line thinking should also be used in the design outline...

The way of writing this book is actually that Qingyu prepared a lot of touching scenes, and then put the protagonist into them to travel... Actually this is not very good, the correct way... Well, interrupt me, actually according to my original writing method, It also makes some sense. For example, look at what Cui Zui, the author of "Lord of Mysteries", did: Cui Zui seemed to have prepared eight parts. For each part, he would write a dramatic stage, prepare the characters, and then put the protagonist into it. Not only It is a travel adventure, but to change the fate of each character in the drama stage, and each part will also form a theme... In this way, Squid's writing is a bit like preparing a scene for the protagonist to enter... But Squid knows the right way, If you do this again...

The correct way is actually that the author should first have desires, then refine the logical chain of his desires and emotions, and then design accordingly. That is to say, there must be a transition based on expression. The herring in this book lacks this process.

With this process, combined with Squid's writing method, I may be able to make a lot of progress at once.

All in all, the next book will be much better.

…

Questions about the final plot of the book…

For the last plot, I wanted to write about the War of Gods. I originally prepared a lot of explanatory materials about science and technology, and I wanted to chew on those materials until the end and write out the whole story. But now I find that firstly, very few readers like to read those, and secondly In fact, writing expository essays does not help improve the core skill of writing novels, "telling stories"...

Qingyu is now in the growth stage, and he can't live any longer. He can no longer do this kind of thing... So Qingyu will compress the final hundreds of thousands of words of the God War plot to a very short one to see if it can pass through several structures of succession, transition and combination. Write it down…

In fact, after writing the book, Qing Yu found that there were various problems in the preparation before starting the book, which led to a lot of pressure at the end of the writing. Of course, most authors should be like this, with the exception of Ying Ying, the author of "Gao Wu". He just did it every day Thirty thousand words until the end...

…

Qingyu really wants to express his complicated thoughts when he writes here... It is the last part of the book, the three plots before becoming a god, becoming a god and fighting gods. Qingyu feels that it must be included. This book will be a framework for the next one. Because the book will also have a plot to become a god, the immature structure of this book can be improved through the entire process of the next book...

(That is, when writing this book, read it from time to time. When you take a break every day, you can think about how to improve, how to add, and how to deepen your emotions)

But of the supporting content prepared before the book started, I am now satisfied with these three plots. Only the climax scene of the plot of becoming a god is satisfactory. The other content...

Anyway, it’s a bit stressful to write…

The only good thing is...

I am aware of the difficulty and necessity of writing a book ending. Many newcomers fail at 500,000 words. Qingyu will at least finish the book normally, and there is no shame in finishing the book with 1.3 million words. Then the next book should make a lot of progress. a lot of…

…

All in all, it feels very stressful.

In the last 100,000 words, the framework of before becoming a god, becoming a god, and fighting between gods is very useful for Qingyu's long-term development, and then the supporting logical chain plot, Qingyu is so stressed to write now, and only the climax scene that I am satisfied with is still good. Yes... but the pressure in life is so great, and now my work is seriously affected... And now that I understand how to write, I must prepare a lot of things before starting a new book... And then I want to start a new book quickly...

Logically speaking, in such a situation, one should quickly finish the book in hand as much as possible, but currently there is only one scene in the three plots that I am satisfied with. If it were condensed into a few chapters based on that scene, the entire logical chain would not be able to keep up. , the mood of the book has not yet reached the height required for that scene...

…

Forget it, let’s talk about the new book... Because after finishing this book, you also need to prepare the design before the new book is opened... The early stage of opening the new book is very exciting, and I hope I can restore my psychological energy by then...

Book friends, if you can give me some suggestions below this paragraph, I would be very grateful.

For a new book, Qingyu will have a very clear main line in its design. In short, the plot of the book will be much more coherent and clearer than this book;

There will definitely be a transitional design, and the logic will be much better;

Then there is the Two Worlds, starting from the Yi Kingdom in the modern world, but the frequency of interpenetration will be much lower.

The next book will still have Boston, and there will be a Western magic school, but 80% of the book will have Chinese names, and it will be similar to "Fights Break the Sphere", with Xiao Yan, the Gama Empire, and Wu XX, There's Medusa, there's Warcraft, names like that...

…

Then Qingyu will be better at writing about knights fighting and gods than writing about magic research, so he will focus on knights and gods. Magic is equivalent to the transitional agent from knights to gods...

Qingyu is very familiar with the Chronicles of Naruto. The second world of magic in the next book should be based on the way Squid sets up a dramatic stage and set up a fantasy town similar to Naruto's Konoha. This will make the book half a million more words. Qingyu's writing is very touching.

Writing about high school students from scratch, Qingyu feels that she feels a little bit...

In territorial wars, Qingyu feels that he is also good at it...

I should write about at least two of the Magic Academy, but Qingyu feels that currently he is only good at upgrading in the Magic Academy, and is not very good at other plots...

Qingyu is very good at gold finger micro-innovation. In the folder, over the years from childhood to adulthood, there is a long, long game process of gold finger micro-innovation... The gold finger micro-innovation in every book of Qingyu should be refreshing. , and now it will be based on targeted micro-innovations around the main line, inheritance, transformation and integration...

In short, I am slowly piecing together the general outline of the next book.

It is the beginning of the modern world, but this modern world will not be a magic-free version. There is also a magic school in Boston, and Harvard University is also there... The protagonist starts as a high school student... and then can travel between two worlds, but due to objective restrictions, it is not a forced level reduction. The frequency of interpenetration will become very low... It will be upgraded in the modern world of medium and low demons. The other world will begin to be matched like the realm of "Gaowu", but there will be at least one line in the early stage (the early stage of Gaowu has no plot line in the crypt) of)…

Then we will transition to the middle and high-level in the modern world, to the cities of other worlds...to the territory where we have our own territory, to the battles between gods and gods...

There are about 300,000 to 400,000 words of campus plots with feelings...

Fantasy Town, about half a million words...

Magic Academy, about 300,000 to 400,000 words...

Territory War has about 300,000 to 400,000 words...

Some other plots in modern society, about 300,000 words...

The plot before and after the gods has about 300,000 to 400,000 words...

Then for the next book, I will study a certain book and make a main line for the mid-term stage. I don’t have a feeling for this part, but I want to learn it. It will be about three to four hundred thousand words...

At present, there are about 2.5 million words of plot. I have a feeling, but there is a solution in how to string it together, but maybe like this book, many problems will break out in the mid-term...

This is the current direction...

Everyone has seen this direction, it may be very complicated...

However, Qingyu also learned this lesson in this book. For example, the utilization rate of the law totem in this book is too low. The setting of law totem should be like "The Lord of Mysteries", with a dedicated plot. This kind of setting is needed because there is no plot in mind. If there is a desire to set this aspect, it should be used in other corresponding places instead of focusing on the upgrade system...

So Qingyu currently has some experience in solving complex problems...

However, I feel like I haven’t completely solved the complex problems.

If you have any suggestions for World A and World B in the next book, you can share them here...

However, there are some things that Qingyu has already made up his mind that Qingyu will not change, such as the name issue. Qingyu is a newcomer with average writing skills, so it is impossible for him to write about a world with Western names. Moreover, he has also been thinking in Chinese since he was a child, and he cannot match the Western style. thinking…

Yes, it is like that…

I still hope that the last few plots of this book will be less stressful...

Qingyu hopes that writing a book is like doing a live broadcast, and then the number of words every day will be greater than the quality of the book, and then there will be progress every day...

I hope to be able to accompany book friends who like the three elements like a host.

Thanks!
