When I finished writing the last chapter, I felt a little lost. I kept insisting on working before and after get off work, but there was nothing left to do.
But no matter what, "Borrowing Heaven to Change Ming" has indeed come to an end. Southeast Asia, North America, and Siberia have all been mentioned, and they will all be the goals of the Ming Dynasty. I didn't go into details because I wrote so many words. I understand.
A little bit about writing.
I understood the meaning of the word protagonist in the novel. Everything must be based on the protagonist's vision and experience. If I make the same mistake again when I first started writing, I will really make no progress at all.
This book has a total of about 2.1 million words. It took me one year and four months of hard work, and I really tried my best.
In order to write this book as well as possible, I learned writing skills through various methods and bought a large number of physical books to check the information. Here I can list the books I bought for everyone:
"Illustrated World War Tactics-Eastern War"
"Illustrated World War Tactics - Maritime War"
"History of Social Life in the Ming Dynasty"
"Tiangong opens things"
"Major Events and Famous Figures in American History"
"Exploring Indian Civilization"
"Hymn of the Indians"
"The Last Celestial Dynasty: A Study of the Tributary System of the Qing Dynasty"
"History of Latin America" Volume 1 (Part 1)
"History of Latin America" Volume 1 (Part 2)
The complete collection of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"
"Story Strategy, 23 Essential Story Paragraphs for Movie Scripts"
In order to write about Xu Guangqi, I even foolishly bought the first, middle and lower volumes of "The Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs".
There are also several pages of web pages collected on computers and mobile phones. It can be said that in order to write this book as well as possible, I have put in unimaginable efforts before.
It was writing this book that made me understand the difficulty of being an author of online articles, especially the difficulty of keeping the author updated. For this reason, I switched from a pirated reader to a genuine reader.
Many book friends also want to write a book and have come to ask me about writing a book. If you are serious, then please be mentally prepared. Perseverance and persistence are necessary, otherwise you will definitely become a eunuch.
Because it’s not easy!
Next, I want to summarize "Borrowing Heaven to Change Ming" again before starting a new book. Currently, the new book is positioned in the fantasy genre, and I want to tell a positive story about a man who has nothing, performs heroic acts of justice, and is promoted to the supreme level in another world.
This book may not be consistent with the current mainstream of Buddha blocking and killing Buddha, but it is what I wanted to write. I hope to write a more exciting story based on the first book.
For this reason, I will carefully write an outline for this second book. If I am not satisfied with the opening chapters, I will not publish them. The tentative title of the book is "The Prodigal Hero", and I will probably change the title.
However, I haven’t written a word yet. There are many differences from history to fantasy. I am very cautious and hope to write it well.
The new book will not be released until at least October. If friends are interested, you can follow the QQ group, as well as the book review areas of Zongheng, Zhangyue, Mobile, Qidian Bookstore, and you will be notified.
Finally, thank you editor Xiaolou Tingfeng!
Thank you to all the book friends who read the genuine version and support "Borrowing Heaven to Change Ming"!
