Here’s the belated end-of-July
summary as usual.
I took two days off in June and updated 230,000 words, which is about 20,000 words more than in May.
Although the increase is not large, it is still progress.
After all, all my spare time is spent on this, and I can't even touch the fish.
The average booking is currently about 2,000, which has increased by 700. It is not comparable to others, but it is still a bit of progress compared to myself.
Then sort out the process.
At present, Wang Yan has finally left Novice Village.
At least the fortune teller has some autonomy.
This is also in line with my personal expectations for an ordinary person with no spiritual roots but a golden finger to grow up in this kind of world where people cannibalize people.
I said before that the writing method will change at every stage.
In the early days of the Dongsheng Sect, there were great constraints and precarious situations, and the protagonist did not know enough about the world, so the writing style tended to be suspense-revealing.
This period is also the most difficult and depressing time.
After going through the most difficult period, in the Tianmen Sect, the protagonist is regarded as a low-level monk with some connections and some capital. During this period, it is still not the protagonist's turn to show his power. The protagonist works hard to improve himself and strengthen his spiritual beasts until he sees the opportunity to escape. After the hope of the Tianmen Sect, I made a decision before taking action, so the writing method was much easier than before. The protagonist barely had a chance to appear in some major events.
It's just that such opportunities are still relatively rare, but sometimes they are extremely critical.
This period was a bit depressing, but it was obviously better than before.
Next comes the third period.
I won’t go into details as it involves spoilers…
The above is my summary of the process.
Then there is a summary of the problem, which is summarized as follows:
1. There is still a lot of shortcomings in the handling of the cool points. The cool points failed to be fun according to the conception. For example, after the foundation is established, the status level changes, but more should be given. Some words and contrasts are used to make the protagonist happy, and also to make the readers happy. Unfortunately, my approach was to rush to start the next plot, so that the excitement that should have exploded at this stage seemed a bit dull, which may be more suitable for me. It's my own preference, but it may not be very friendly to the public.
2. Water. This is due to my own lack of ability to bury the foreshadowing. I failed to bury the foreshadowing lightly or use another incident to cover it up. The final method I chose was to bury these foreshadowings in content without sufficient plot. It seems that some parts have nothing to do with the protagonist. However, this point should appear to be much less frequent after conflicts become more frequent later. I will think about it carefully and see how to handle it better.
3. Rhythm. This is actually related to the first point. The rhythm of the narrative and the ups and downs of the plot are a bit out of sync. It drags a bit when it should be fast, and rushes to the end when it is fast. In the final analysis, I don’t have enough grasp of what everyone is enjoying at the moment. If possible, please share with the experts here when you were reading this book, where you felt most uncomfortable, where you felt most comfortable, and where you couldn’t get up or down...emmmm, knowing this, I can be better. Serve the masters.
4. No more, my head hurts just thinking about it.
It’s a new month, I’ll work hard to update, thank you all for supporting me!
grateful!
