I didn't have time to write yesterday, so I will make up for it today.
First of all, about asking for leave, I will ask for two days, Thursday → Friday, and I will finish the next volume on Saturday - the update of the Iron Queen.
I originally wanted to take a day off and then start updating tomorrow, but after looking at it today, I found that one day is not enough, and it is stuck on Thursday, so preparations will not be sufficient. The time during the day on Friday and Saturday is just right to sort out the last update.
Volume of information, sorting out the necessary things in order.
So please forgive me for taking two days off.
The other is a summary.
The first point is my own condition. It is indeed very bad. I can feel it and know that it is caused by my own work. This year, especially during the period after the Spring Festival, the review by several parties caused a lot of work to pile up all at once, and it took a lot of work.
There are too many review materials prepared, which is really torturous.
Now from the end of March to the beginning of April, the things on my hands have reduced a lot, and I finally feel a little more relaxed.
I hope that I can recover after that. The main thing is not to work overtime too much, and not to be consumed by other things at work, so as not to just think about rest when I get home from get off work. I will actively make adjustments in this regard.
The second point is about Volume 6, the new world under the heavy rain.
This volume was originally meant to be a transitional use, a transition in all aspects, so when I wrote it, I deliberately avoided the description of high-level surgeons. Of course, I won’t do this in the next volume.,,
In addition, when introducing some backgrounds, in other volumes, because such situations were relatively rare, I was not alert. But in the sixth volume, because it involves a lot of introduction to the background of the world, I have a deep understanding of it.
My impression - I can indeed write more easily if I just rely on the form of dialogue to introduce the background (just put in the quotation marks and write the content in), but I also feel that the impression will not be good.
In the final volume, we will try to avoid such a situation and change the form of dialogue to narration or third-person description, which should be better. However, regarding the background introduction, there will not be much in the last volume.
The third point is about the last volume, volume seven, the final volume part two, Iron Queen.
I feel a little sad that the update can never be said to be up to standard, and it feels like a stop-and-start project. As a long-term project, from 2016 to 23 years ago, if you don’t count the time, I really haven’t thought about how many years have passed.
It's been years.
Here I suddenly remembered a sentence written in "Remarks on the Shelf" - In the early stage of writing a novel, you rely on interest and enthusiasm in your heart, but in the later stage, you only rely on responsibility. Looking back at this sentence now, I find that what others said is true to me.
From experience, the difference is indeed huge.
Now to rephrase this sentence, it should be - in the early stage of writing a novel, you rely on interest and enthusiasm in your heart, and in the later stage, you still rely on interest and enthusiasm. As for responsibility, there is no responsibility at all, and responsibility can be relieved at any time.
It's just a matter of willingness or not, there is no reliability.
Compared with passive things like responsibility, active interest, enthusiasm and love are more useful. One is forcing yourself to write, and the other is always wanting to write something every day. The difference between the two is completely different.
As of now, there have been times when my enthusiasm has diminished, but the closer I get to the end, the more excited I feel. Perhaps there is a factor of impending completion. After all, after several years, I still feel like I have completely finished writing a story.
, no matter good or bad, it makes people happy for no reason.
As for the content of the last volume "Iron Queen", I won't say much here. Of course, the last volume will also actively fill in all the pitfalls with its greatest efforts.
