first summary
This book took about a month and a half to write, and it has nearly 300,000 words. It was neither fast nor slow. Today I took the opportunity to read all the articles I had written before.
Well, before I talk, let me digress.
When I opened a new book, I planned to divide it into volumes, but suddenly I got excited and clicked publish directly. The first chapter came out and I forgot about the volume division.
According to the original plan, the name of the first volume should be "Shennongjia Mountains", and the name of the second volume should be "Jiangnan Base City".
As you can tell by looking at the names, the first volume tells the story of what happened in the Shennongjia Mountains, and the second volume tells the story of what happened in the Jiangnan base city.
Back to the previous topic.
After reading the article I wrote before, I found that some parts were not written well, and the plot was a bit different from what I had planned before. In other words, the story in my mind was not well written, such as the story about the little fox, as mentioned above.
There are a lot of foreshadowings. For example, when Li Xiaolan saw another little white fox being killed by a coyote, he had a feeling of empathy. This is a foreshadowing.
When the Eagle King and the Ape King want to kill Li Yun, the conversation between the little fox and them when they compromise is also a foreshadowing.
There are many more foreshadowings like this.
It was not until later that I wrote out all the stories that happened to the little white fox.
I don’t know if you understand it.
Second, the story in the first volume seems a bit rough, not the kind of finely crafted story, and the pace is relatively fast. This is mainly because it was written too hastily.
Why do you say it's too urgent?
Because at the end of last month I was rushing to finish the manuscript in order to release it on the 1st of this month, and I didn’t have time to think about the plot carefully.
Third, there is too little suspense in the book. I am writing about a world of high-level martial arts with spiritual energy resurrected. There must be monsters and monsters. I should write more suspense.
There are many other small shortcomings.
However, there are also advantages. Compared with the previous book, this book has improved a bit, the story is smoother, and the writing skills have also improved.
I will continue to work hard in the future.
In the second volume of the story of Jiangnan City that I am writing now, I will focus on characterization, create more suspense, and make the plot more compact and exciting. I have already thought about the general plot and laid out the main plot. I wonder if you will pay attention.
When it comes to that, I will focus on writing around the main line. Of course, some branch lines cannot be missing. If the branch lines are missing, it will seem like something is missing.
I’ve been nagging a lot, and I’ve almost written 800 words before I know it. I’ll just write this summary here.
Chapter completed!
