August wrap-up
I actually don’t like writing single chapters. A friend of mine said a while ago that it is best to write a single chapter, which not only communicates with readers, but also summarizes oneself, and also talks about the book so that readers will not be confused.
.......
Anyway, there are a lot of them, and when I thought about it, it made sense, so I opened a single chapter.
So far, two-thirds of the second volume has been written. Except for the opening chapter on the case of Concubine Fu, the content is mostly about daily life and character development. So I have continued to subscribe.
There is a very interesting phenomenon. At the end of the first volume, readers shouted: We want to read daily life, not cases. We want to read daily life, not pretentiousness. Pretending is boring.
However, the real situation is that as soon as I write about my daily routine, the number of subscriptions goes down, and as soon as I write about showing off, the number of subscriptions goes up dramatically.
A man's mouth is a liar.
Pooh!
Let’s talk about the difference between the second volume and the first volume. The first volume is mainly about cases, so the rhythm and layering of the plot are better.
The second volume must pave the way for the follow-up. Some characters need to be written with a lot of ink. Because the subsequent plot is useful, it must be foreshadowed first. Many seemingly useless daily plots will actually be connected at the end of the second volume.
effect.
The overall sense of rhythm is weaker than that of the first volume, but the characterization of the characters is definitely stronger than that of the first volume.
As a small spoiler, there will be a big explosion at the end of the second volume, and then there will be a turning point in the entire book. Of course, I haven't figured out how to write it specifically yet.
Now that I have written this book, it is hard to imagine that I will get good results, so I am even more skating on thin ice. Sometimes I care too much about rhythm and excitement, which makes me fall behind and lack the aura of the first volume.
For example, the music diary in the opening column, Neptune's fish-raising envelope, Xu Lingyin's stupid operations, etc.
These things do not help the main plot, but they can make a book fuller, more deeply rooted in people's hearts, and improve its quality. Bai Heshuang's books can be popular for a while, but when you look back many years later, you will find that they are nothing more than that.
Books that focus on portraying characters will still remain in the hearts of readers many years later.
This is their advantage, the disadvantage is that they cannot write too much.
If I use a lot of pen and ink on characters and daily life, it will definitely cause the plot of the whole book to be stretched, and I can’t have my cake and eat it too. The daily life and characters are well written, but few of you have read a book with a stretched plot.
few.
By the way, I want to vomit another bitter comment. The case of Blood Massacre has dropped a bit. Mainly because at the beginning, I didn’t think about the details of the whole case, so I insisted on it for several days. Hahaha, this is my fault.
.
But there is no way, the case flow book is different from other books. In other books, the plot has a general direction, and then you can open Word and start working directly.
Investigating a case is different. You have to think through all the details before you can write. The reason is simple: you have to ambush the details.
Most authors will bury foreshadowing, which is nothing, but most authors will only bury long-term foreshadowing, the kind that they don’t bother with.
What is really difficult is the intensive foreshadowing in a short space. And the most difficult thing is short stories after short stories, and short stories after short stories... which tests both writing power and brain. Most authors cannot do it.
To. This is the trouble with case flow.
Of course, I'm still far behind.
Moreover, the high frequency of updates of online articles makes it difficult to have enough time to work on the plot... In the past few days, I was working on the detailed outline of the case and was exhausted. I lost a lot of hair and was very bald.
Of course.
Fortunately, for the case in the North, the details are pretty much the same, and I already know what foreshadowing I have to bury.
It's not a long article and I can finish it this week, or even sooner.
Well, this is still not a separate case, it is linked to other cases, and it is also the foreshadowing of subsequent content. In short, it is a case within a case, or a series of linked cases.
I have never written about this type of writing before, but I seem to be quite talented. In fact, I have a set of experiences and methods, which can be regarded as a unique secret. However, it is not perfect yet. I hope that after writing this book, this set of secrets can be detailed and perfected.
.
In this way, you can ensure the quality of your future books, so that one book will not become a hit and the next one will be a failure.
"The Watcher" will be adapted into a film and television drama in the future, which will definitely be exciting.
Of course, there are also troubles, that is, writing is too tiring, the brain is exhausted, the mental pressure is huge, and even my girlfriend is not good.
Chapter completed!
