I have been working on the outline for three days and will update + summary tomorrow.
I have completely resigned from my job, but as a result, my hips were stretched when I updated. I’m really sorry.
After working on the outline for three or four days, I felt very depressed.
Fortunately, it is not fruitless. The final direction has been set, and even the idea for the second part has come up. (Don’t get me wrong, I am not starting a new book. This book is actually a trilogy planned from the beginning. It’s just that
I haven't thought about the last two parts, and the ideas that came up are not mature enough. They have to be left there to slowly settle, and they may not be used.)
This point is mentioned because the author found a new idea that inspires: If the old one has no passion, you can think of the new one! Use the new one to inspire the old one.
It just so happens that the stories I want to write are from the world of immortality. There is a certain chance that new inspirations will deduce old inspirations. The later articles will inspire the previous ones, and those who use them will learn from the past.
This method is similar to the ideation method of starting with the end in mind, but I use it for inspiration.
Having said this, I have to mention that for a long time, Cuckoo has been sorting out his own writing methodology, trying to find a system that can be directly used for personal guidance in writing, completely solving the problem of Kawen, so that I can become ruthless.
coding machine.
A while ago, I suddenly realized that there are no universal methods or formulas for creation.
The last article in "Story" (a scriptwriter's bible) also said that millipedes first have instincts, and then control skills, and the two are integrated. Sometimes they rely on inspiration and feeling!
I am stuck, what I want is to find ways to stimulate that feeling of gushing out.
Either go ahead as planned before, wait for the refractory period to end, and then suddenly feel enlightened, or try your best to get rid of things, mobilize emotions, and eliminate emotions.
Cuckoo has been saying before that his writing skills need to break through. First, he felt that he could not write characters, and then he felt that his rhythm was not good enough and it was not fun. However, he neglected the most important thing about the story, which is that it is interesting.
And fun is not directly linked to coolness or rhythm, but directly linked to feeling. This is the key!
And in fact, whether it is the characters or the rhythm, Cuckoo has certain strengths. Although it is immature, it is also developing slowly, so it should not be underestimated.
On the other hand, there is indeed a lack of effort in writing novels as a whole. After all, no one can appreciate the grandeur and subtlety of the whole novel until he writes a complete book.
In short, if you lack the experience of finishing a book, you must finish it in a down-to-earth manner!
In addition, the most important thing in writing a book is to rely on feeling, which is the so-called "inspiration".
(Actually, I don’t like the word “inspiration” very much. First, it makes it seem very high and distant, and second, it is elusive, erratic, and insecure.)
As for whether inspiration will dry up, Cuckoo once worried about it, but then he stopped worrying about it. Now he doesn't think about it anymore.
Don’t worry, firstly, although cuckoo has little inspiration, and even subconsciously excludes it because of scientific thinking, I usually don’t have much inspiration, nor am I top-notch, but the past has proven that as long as I write with my heart, I can definitely get rid of it.
Of course, there are many factors involved, such as writing style (this book has over a million words, so I’m not afraid of claiming that I’m not a newbie).
The second is that while writing this book, I realized the "key to maintaining a writing career": in addition to constantly maintaining a young mentality, it is also appropriate to write what kind of book at the appropriate age (mentality). (Remember
When I summarized this sentiment, I discussed it with everyone in the book club group)
When I was young, I wrote about being unruly, when I was young, I wrote about being sharp, when I was in my prime, I wrote about being impassioned, when I was old, I wrote about the world of mortals, and I use my words to describe my heart.
I am secretly happy. After summarizing the above insights, I am confident that with this, I should be able to eat for half my life by writing without starving to death.
Harm, although the writing talent is not high, the talent of theoretical summary can be used, and it should be able to escort people. Besides, I don’t usually eat much, so it is easy to survive.
……………………
I didn’t update the main text, so I wrote a lot of nonsense, which is a sin.
The above remarks are partly intended to reiterate that I don’t know how to be a eunuch, so some book friends should not repeat certain things;
Part of it is a summary (for example, the method of inspiring old ideas with new inspiration is summarized in this speech);
Others are purely self-motivation and encouragement. There is still some pressure. Recently, I dare not open the book at the starting point or join the group.
Please feel free to listen to the above few writing insights.
