Celestial Employee: Use the number of words on the list, a guide for newcomers
Writing this text is because the starting point is to divide the new book potential list into two lists for newcomers to have more opportunities to show off. But there are still many newcomers who have taken an annoying approach, and many newcomers still don’t know where their problems are. So I think, write something that is useful for newcomers.
If you divide the level based on the writing ability of the starting point author, I can probably be regarded as the middle or lower position of the second-line author. Maybe it should be counted as the first author among the third-line authors. Based on the quality of writing alone, I think many newcomers are better than me. But as the deputy editor of the editorial department of the starting point, the editor-in-chief of Shanda Entertainment-Fiction, and a participant in the formulation of various systems of the starting point, I think I have been watching the development of the starting point in recent years with a relatively objective perspective. The large number of works from the starting point also looked at the mistakes that newcomers often repeat.
I don’t want to show off when I say my identity. Rather, I want to explain that such an identity makes my reading at the starting point more targeted. I look at works, not simply whether they look good or not, but whether they have commercial value.
I will continue to write some of my experiences on topics such as topic selection, outline, character shaping, plot rhythm, starting point of the editorial department, the effect of various lists, and how the author develops better at the starting point. I hope Can be helpful to new authors.
This newbie guide for online authors is aimed at commercial authors who like to write and hope to use writing in exchange for a stable and good income. If you want to write the author of Liufang Baishi's works, the author of prose and poetry, this article is of no use to you.
I dare not say how much help I have written for a new author, but even if a new author can benefit from these things, it is worth it. A few years ago, I was so destitute that I could hardly write anymore. But thanks to the help of enthusiastic friends on the Internet, I got through the difficult times, and now I have a good working environment and a good income. Therefore, I firmly believe that friends who like to write, write hard, and have a talent for writing, should not be able to get proper material rewards after hard work. Internet authors, we write, we should also get material rewards for writing, this is our right.
This article is dedicated to newcomers and friends who work hard according to* writing their ideals.
The first article of online writing: conception.
The idea is to choose the topic and choose the subject matter you want to write.
Many authors neglect the topic selection, but want to write about such topics after reading any books they like recently. But the topic selection is the foundation of the author's writing. Any author has his own style along with his writing. And this style will have a considerable impact on the popularity of the work due to the topic selection of the work. For example, Mr. Lan Jing, whose writing is beautiful and cumbersome, uses a nearly translation style. And his understanding of the history and culture of the European Middle Ages has made his writing and his European-Chinese medieval themes and structure have a complementary effect. Among the online works, Mr. Lan Jing's works are the most outstanding description of the political and cultural atmosphere of the Middle Ages in Europe. His writing style, currently on the Internet, has not seen the author can imitate it. So even though he used the vest blood coral, wrote Devil Thief. But any reader who has seen his work can determine the author's identity within a few chapters. And the most popular author of the starting point, Mr. Blood Red, the biggest feature in his work is a kind of scumbag, just like Maradona to fans. This feeling of stubbornness makes his works have the same type of protagonist as others’ works. Can make readers feel more refreshed. However, in his works, whether it is a **** or a **** or a dragon or an evil wind, whether it is a Chinese, a foreigner, an ancient or a modern person, the protagonist always seems to have the same personality.
Up to now, many newcomer authors still hold on to Mr. Blood Red that he just wrote it early and catches up with luck. If I write rebellious works at that time and write so quickly, I can still be popular. This kind of mentality is like what Chinese directors often say, given me so much money, I can also shoot the Lord of the Rings Star Wars. But our best director can only shoot Promise after taking the money.
Speaking a little bit more off topic, back to the topic, how can newcomers choose a theme that suits them?
Theoretically, the topic is not suitable for newcomers, but only for authors. It doesn't say what themes are suitable for the elderly and what themes are suitable for the newcomers. But for new authors whose purpose is to write in business, there are still some topics that are not suitable for the first time in the industry.
I personally think that for new authors without certain writing experience and confidence, the first book should not touch the three major categories of martial arts, science fiction, and reasoning. Most of the readers of IndoMTL.com~ have grown up reading martial arts books. . There are countless classic martial arts. But the most important thing is that martial arts routines and character creation are well known to most readers. I understand that newcomers have a martial arts dream, after all, the arena is an eternal dream in the hearts of Chinese people. However, it is too difficult for newcomers to write martial arts well, especially long-form martial arts. If you can't get rid of the martial arts dream, then make a package of the martial arts written. For example, the essence of "Zhu Xian" is martial arts romance, but it is packed with Xianxia. "Ultimate Hell" uses online games to package martial arts, and has achieved quite an outstanding success. Another shortcut to writing martial arts is to write well-known works of doujin. The advantage of this writing method is that because the characters in the book already have a clear impression in the readers' minds, the author does not need to work hard to describe the characters. The love of the original book and the anticipation of the characters will also make it easier for the work to gather a large number of readers.
Whether it is the famous "Young Qiaofeng" before, Jiangnan uses the name of "The Boy Here". Still popular on the Internet, "Creative Thoughts", "I am Zhang Wuji" and "The New Biography of Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty" are all representative. But the biggest problem with this kind of works is that they are fan works. To tell the truth, it is illegal to use fan works for commercial gain. However, the older generation of martial arts writers generally ignore the Internet colleagues, and this has actually become an act of tacit consent. Although the starting point is for Wuxia fan works, it is generally allowed to join. But if it is recommended for publication, don't expect it. The allowed fans are basically limited to early martial arts works and Huang Yi's works, as well as game fans, and works that have been published for more than 50 years. However, for fans of online works and fans of Japanese anime, only publication is allowed, and no contract is allowed. If you want to obtain commercial benefits, don't spend too much effort on these aspects.
In terms of sci-fi, at one time the readership was relatively small, and secondly, those who liked sci-fi works had certain requirements for the logical rationality of the works. Although there are also different kinds of works like Xuan Yu's "Legend of Little Soldiers" that do not comply with the rationality of sci-fi works but become popular, on the whole, sci-fi has very high requirements for the author's knowledge. And if you can't write about the feeling of science fiction, then write other types, the benefits will be much better.
As for reasoning, there is a higher requirement for logical rationality, and there are fewer readers. If you write reasoning, it is best to practice your writing logic skills and do not expect commercial returns.
It is not suitable for an author to write about subjects that he does not understand and dare not be interested in. This is not to say that an author who does not understand computer technology cannot write hackers. An author who does not understand martial arts cannot write a ring. Because most of the readers you face don't understand. This is the tens of thousands of scouts in "Naked Orchid", millions of troops fight together, "Tiger Dynasty" shot 100 million gold coins, some modern urban novels, the protagonist is worth several trillion U.S. dollars, and pocket money is several hundred million dollars. A work that can be described as humorous or ignorant does not affect the popularity of the work.
The so-called unsuitable subject matter of the author means that you cannot write the selling point of this subject matter. And this can be said to be not to write works that you are not interested in.
You don’t need to understand, but you can’t be disinterested in your subject matter. For example, if you write a hacker, you don’t need to understand what computer C language is, and how to steal someone’s QQ password if you don’t understand (say, the thief I hate the most is stealing passwords), but you must know what hackers can do. What will the hacker's ability bring to the protagonist... Because this is the tension and conflicting selling point of the story you want to write.
When choosing a topic, the most taboo is to follow suit. Whatever others write, no matter whether they like the subject or not, they just think the subject is red, so they write quickly. As a result, the more you write, the more uncomfortable, and the more you write, the less distinctive it is. Later, either because you can't write about eunuchs, or because your popularity is low, you give up, or you can't write by yourself, you copy other people's works.
Internet writing, the word YY is often ridiculed. But here I clearly tell new authors or authors who plan to join that YY is the essence of all works. YY is the salt and seasoning in the dish. A novel without YY has no reading value. Of course, a dish full of salt is also difficult for others to swallow. Don't be led by the wrong remarks made by boring people who are often idle.
What is the nature of YY? My definition is that it is the description that gives me the most pleasure under such circumstances.
For newcomers, there is actually a very simple way to write about what subject they want to write about, what subject to choose, and whether the subject is correct. When you think about a subject, then close your eyes, you think in your own mind, this world, this protagonist is me. As the protagonist, what I want and what I can get in this world.
If you think like this, your spirit will easily fall into it, and you will even start thinking about how you should talk. In this world, how can I feel more happy, thinking of some things, I will be happy, angry, and drool over it. Then, this subject is the subject you want to write about.
Young people, especially those who write, often feel that they are unique and that they think differently from others. But this is wrong. Humans are group-type creatures. You are the same as many people. What you think, what you want, what you see makes you happy, what you see makes you angry, it's the same.
So, when you have this story in your mind, as the protagonist, you have a very happy and fun life. For example, you think of going back to the past and becoming an emperor, playing with court ladies, and having countless women kneeling there to wait on you, making you extremely happy. Then you write a theme about how to use the emperor's status to enjoy beautiful women. If you think about going back to the past to conquer, get happiness in the war and make China the strongest country in the world, and feel happy in this way, then write about the great emperor with war as the main thread.
Remember, your story must make you feel happy when you bring yourself into the protagonist, feel excited, and feel that there is countless fun in it. Such a subject is the subject suitable for you to write. As for whether you don’t understand, whether you have professional knowledge, or whether words can describe this feeling, it doesn’t matter. What you write is the story you want to happen to yourself. This is the most effective and easiest way to choose a topic.
When your subject matter can touch yourself, you can also touch other people.
Special note: There are some subjects, no matter how you like them, but the general environment does not allow you to write them. If you write, you will have no future. Maybe you will be invited to drink tea because of this. Here, I list the themes that are strictly prohibited in the starting point.
One: Any theme describing wheels.
Two: Any time after 1921, there will be works of the older generation of party and country leaders or real events. For example, a certain author actually wrote directly that he would be a younger brother, and that he would be a subordinate. Someone directly forms a political party and confronts. Truth be told, even if you don't have a brain, don't harm the starting point.
3: Official texts or counter texts, appearing in real places or central officials appearing on the scene. Anti-text can only be written to city-level officials. Only the deputy governor level can appear at the provincial level. And it is strictly forbidden to appear the real place name or province name. Any description that the central government is involved in corruption, etc. is strictly prohibited. Including the real surnames of the central leaders and the children of former leaders. If the real surname is described in the book, congratulations, your book will be deleted.
Four: Command the Hyundai Squadron to destroy Indonesia and destroy Japan.
5: It describes the dispute between China and North Korea.
6: Writing about modern or modern ethnic issues.
7: Anything that says too much about Islam.
8: It is strictly forbidden to mention June Fourth.
Nine: Overhead works, it is strictly forbidden to appear in a country with the same name as in reality. Such as China.
Ten: It is strictly forbidden to appear in the book.
■Newcomer's Guide to Online Writing (Character Shaping)
Being a newcomer author, pull your spirit back from the fantasy world. Remember, wipe off the drool left by the corners of your mouth because you saw beautiful women in your fantasy. Put away the pleasure of living a luxurious life by making a fortune by marrying Bill Gate’s daughter in your fantasy. Don't go out and think that you are a national hero just because you think of leading the army to defeat Japan. If you are hungry, soak a bowl of instant noodles honestly. In order to change instant noodles into hamburgers, you have to sit in front of your computer and post the things in your mind that make you happy on the Internet, so that other people can also feel happy, and you will buy burgers for you in the future because of this happy feeling. Money.
Now that you have your own topic, don’t rush to write a few thousand words and send it online. Then I dreamed in the evening, my book clicked over a million, my collection was flying all over the sky, the editors of the starting point followed one by one and said, "Great, sign a contract." Forced push, closed push, middle push, simplified and traditional Chinese chaotic version, the same as the appointment.
Basically, I understand the author’s confidence and feeling at this time, just like when you buy a two-yuan lottery ticket, you will think that you won the prize. No one would think that he was unlucky before something happened, and 90% of writing would think that what he wrote was interesting, valuable, and would bring himself benefits. Of course, those scum who plagiarized from the beginning were not among them, who were purely to cheat money.
With a theme, it is not a novel, especially a novel that can be sold for money. Everyone has learned the three elements of writing in elementary school, and I believe many newcomers have also seen many writing guides. For example, a writing guide written by American authors that was quite popular not long ago. What I kept beside my bed was Mr. Lao She's writing experience.
But here, I want to tell the authors who set the goal of serializing novels on the Internet as the first step. You can read them, but you can ignore the things in the writing manual. Our goal is to write novels that we like, and can be used to exchange readers' banknotes for hamburgers on the website, not like the great Mr. Cao Lu wrote with painstaking effort and death in poverty.
To reiterate, this article is aimed at authors who like fantasy and writing, and also hope to use writing in exchange for income, rather than writing shocking articles, hoping that celebrities will regard money as dung, I just An influential commercial author, I am not qualified to tell you how to write.
There are basically only three types of online novels, especially long online novels that often exceed one million words.
First, it focuses on character shaping, and the plot points are all to highlight the character of the character. In this regard, the masterpiece that introduced me to online writing, "The Story of Grace" is very representative. No one can remember the story of the graceful story with more than four million words. But the graceful characters make you forget the plot and still have a deep memory. Another classic work, "Zichuan", is also a classic example of characters leading the plot. Most of this writing method and loyal readers have a lot of animation reading habits. I call it anime creation. Regarding the advantages and disadvantages of animated writing, I will talk about it in a later part.
Second, the plot is used to promote the work, the character of the character is vague, the theme of the book and the structure of the plot are the core. The character of the character is only part of the plot. Generally speaking, authors who are deeply influenced by traditional writing methods like to adopt such writing methods. Such writing is also more difficult than writing with character shaping as its core.
Thirdly, we must take both into consideration, which can have both a sought-after plot and a character with a distinct personality. Well, if you can write a work of this level in the first book, let me call it a genius. Anyway, among the more than 40,000 authors from the starting point, those with such ability are probably less than double digits. So, new authors, be realistic and give up the third type.
For newcomer authors, I encourage you to use the first one, starting with character-building. Frankly speaking, the plot of the novel, the difficulty of innovation, and the speed of imitation will make people stunned. But is it an old-fashioned plot that no one is watching? That's wrong, wrong, wrong. For example, the female Cinderella complex, the male **** hunting complex, and the war plot are eternal.
But since it's a cliché, why can readers pay for countless similar stories that they have seen?
That is when readers like this character, they will be attracted by the character. The same plot has different reading sense under different character characters.
Of course, this is not for you to copy and paste. Later, I will talk about some reasonable, legal and reasonable methods of borrowing works. If you do something stupid like copy and paste, congratulations, your goal of getting readers to pay is harder to achieve than eating northeastern food and drinking beer every day without gaining weight.
Looking back, let's talk about how to create a popular or individual character. But don't overdo it with your personality. For example, the book character of a certain author who claims to be a primary school student makes the editors dare not to sign his book, it is not worth it.
The shaping of the character is essentially the shaping of the character's character, or in other words, the shaping of the character's facial makeup. How does the character of a character let readers know? The tone and lines in the dialogue, the way of dealing with things, some behaviors that are different from others.
In this regard, animation is the best teacher. What, you only watch H Manga, then treat it as I didn't say it.
New authors, always want to write about a world with a complicated background from the very beginning. Well, on a continent, there are a lot of things such as what race, what kind of emperor group, and a lot of messy characters, without writing tens of thousands of characters, even the character names and races are messed up.
Actually, when a book is first conceived, the protagonist is determined to be generally male. If the protagonist is a woman, I admire your courage. But on the current Internet, the possibility of becoming popular with a female protagonist is really small and pitiful. Well, it's about the same as the chance of buying all 13 games in the football lottery.
We have determined that it is the male protagonist. At this time, we must determine the character of the character. Character, surroundings, ability. With these three points, basically a role is roughly there. At this time, we must highlight the special characteristics of the character. Here to remind everyone that appearance is also a kind of personality setting. If your protagonist is a beautiful boy, think about how to express it.
Most of the authors use role attraction. For example, when my sister sees him, she is secretive, and when she sees him, she thinks he is the emperor of the true dragon. This kind of stallion, which is commonly known as the king, actually hopes to show the characteristics of the protagonist. Don’t think that this kind of stuff is outdated and can’t be written just because of the constant scolding of stallions and kings in the forums or book reviews. Good use is still very attractive to readers.
But the premise is to give the protagonist an acceptable explanation. For example, the classic sweet potato is a model. (Since I am a teacher, the quality of this book is ordinary, but it has a great impact on online business writing.)
But because most of the authors have used stallions and the performance of the king's spirit, those who can go one step further on this basis will be more popular. For example, in the popular novel "The Legend of Cthulhu", becoming a Doctor of Double Material at the age of ten is a successful model. Such a genius must be popular. The reader subconsciously has accepted the countless possibilities after the protagonist because of this actually very unreasonable setting.
But the mistake that newcomers often make is that while writing that the protagonist is an ordinary person, or is not ordinary at first, but hopes to be an ordinary person. As soon as this setting came out, he wrote that the protagonist was infinitely charming, which caused countless sisters and heroes to stumble. The reader will subconsciously think, doesn't he want to be ordinary, why is this? This kind of unreasonable feeling will make many readers just get stuck in this book.
Many serious newcomers start to think that they have to set very rigorously and reasonably, so that they can write a good book. So let me tell you, this is pure nonsense.
What is more absurd and unbelievable in this world than magic, rebirth, cultivation, and changing history. Since readers don't even hesitate to accept this kind of thing, they can also accept any abnormal setting. But remember, crookedness is also rationale, and if there is no crookedness, it is really hopeless.
Just like the beginning of a book, the protagonist has a net worth of trillions of dollars, and pocket money is hundreds of millions every month. Then someone looked for him and knocked on the door, so the protagonist went to open the door. Here, the net worth of several trillion dollars and pocket money of several hundred million is absolutely ridiculous, but it is acceptable to most readers. Because, for readers who haven't been exposed to a really large number of real life readers, it doesn't matter if a certain number of large numbers has one or two zeros. Anyway, at this time they will not think of Comrade Bill Gates as the world's richest man, and his net worth is only a few tens of billions of dollars.
But when such a rich man lives in a unit, going to open the door in person will make readers feel unreasonable. How could this be so rich? Although it is basically difficult for a newcomer to write about the nobleness of the rich, even if two old farmers talk about the emperor, they will say that he must eat meat buns every day instead of saying that the emperor eats wotou every day.
So when setting, especially when writing a fantasy novel protagonist, the principle is to give yourself a reason why the character is in this environment. Then give a character the range of personality in this environment.
Of course, I’m not against saying that newcomers don’t need to be reasonable when writing books and setting roles. But remember, this is never the focus of character setting. Rather than thinking about rationality, it's better to think about how to make the character reasonable.
Strengthen the characteristics of the character. In terms of the character of the character, there is a common and always more useful one, which is to say the greatness and toughness of the character through the mouth of the enemy. Well, I do the same in writing books. Because when readers are involved in reading a book, they feel that what the enemy says will be more powerful than the character thinks. And to go a step further is to highlight the character's identity environment through a large number of enemy dialogues. This way of writing is easier to remember than standing on the character's side.
In terms of character settings, one thing we must remember is that current readers hate cowardly, hesitant protagonists. Unless your text is as good as aquamarine, don't try to write this kind of character setting that has high requirements for creation.
When setting the character of a character, it is best to give him a prominent point, and then it will be often mentioned from different populations in the future, or the protagonist will often use a behavior to express it. In the past, there were evil smiles, shocking tigers and so on. Of course, it's better to change some fresh words now. In fact, you can add a little more pen and ink on this. For example, the hero Lu Chi in Miss Feiling's "The Wind and Cloud of Heaven". The rude orangutan of the male protagonist in "The Graceful Story", the greed of the popular character Hante, the great strength of Nil, the explosion of the manufactured items of Airing, etc. They appear in the book and mention these characteristics almost every time. Repeated repetitions have also given readers a very deep understanding of their personality and identity.
As for what to give, it doesn’t really matter. When writing, you can think about what kind of actor you like, and let your actor look like this.
But a popular way of writing in animation writing is that the protagonist is used to develop the plot, the supporting role is to show the character, and the enemy is to shine. The character of the character must be simple. In this way of writing, the role is clever, wise, deep and complicated, and that is asking for a dead end. Don't say that readers don't like it, the possibility that the author can finish writing is pitiful.
After setting the character's personality, it is best to think of a few sentences that can represent the character's character, and say it often, so as to deepen the character's distinctiveness.
At the beginning of writing, don't set too many roles at once. It is best to limit the number of characters to a relatively small range at the beginning, and write large scenes at the beginning. For many characters, readers are tired to read, and the author is tired to write.
The reading of online works is high-tempo, especially in the early days. The protagonist's appearance should be within three chapters as much as possible, and within one or two chapters of the protagonist's appearance, there is a small character that can express the protagonist's character. It is no longer the era of "Swordsman and Swordsman", and a supporting role can be tolerated for a long time in the beginning of the book. Even if the author wants to drag the manuscript to mix the word count and click, it is best to do such a dangerous thing after 300,000 words, when your readers have a certain inertia. Now that there are too many books in the starting point, who is interested in seeing you slowly let some people wait out and wander around.
After Datang Shuanglong, many newcomers like to write multiple protagonists. Under normal circumstances, if you are not a guardian, multiple protagonists mean that you are done.
■Newcomer's Guide to Online Writing (Outline Setting)
When we reviewed the work of the starting point website, the most commonly used word for a book that is worth signing up and has commercial value is that it looks smooth and has a good rhythm.
This leads to a problem that has always been controversial in online business writing. Why a book is considered by many people to be weak in characters, simple in text, and full of logical errors, but this book can be popular and sold. Let those authors who think they have crafted their works turn their eyes into rabbits, cursing the current quality of readers all day.
The question here is, what is the essence of online business writing?
From the perspective of my editor, the plot, stable updates, characters, and text are arranged in sequence. Among them, text is the least important and the most important. The plot is the basis of online works.
From a certain perspective, Internet readers are the best readers in the world and the most forgiving readers. They will not accuse you of typos in your work, wrong descriptions of characters in your work, inconsistent plot settings, or even abandoning this book because of the wrong character names.
What they want is just a smooth story, some characters that can satisfy their little fantasies, even facial characters. Basically, they can be satisfied with plain text without modification. Searching the world, you won’t find a reader who is so easy to satisfy and requires so simple.
When faced with readers whose needs are so simple, hoping to make money on the Internet, authors who make money by writing according to *, cannot satisfy them is your fault, not the reader’s fault.
So when sitting in front of the computer, I want to write a long novel that can be sold for money, I have decided on the subject matter I want to write, and I have thought of the main characters. What should I do next? This is also the time when newcomers are most likely to make mistakes.
The essence of the novel is the plot and the characters, and the two complement each other. If a book can do both, has a novel and attractive plot, and has created very successful characters, then as long as the author is not as lazy as the turtles, the popularity of the book is doomed.
But we are talking about newcomers, especially many newcomers who just read a lot of books, have only written essays or essays, or even commercial copywriting or various reports, and have never written long short stories.
At this time, don’t rush to write the opening of your novel, but write something called an outline.
Newcomers and even many elderly people feel that the outline is useless. We often encounter such authors and tell the editor very clearly that I am going to write two million words. How do I know what the future plot will be like? With such a long book, you will know the follow-up development naturally. I always want to write on the same day, even thinking while writing.
Trust me, no matter what a newcomer thinks, he will never understand that writing is actually a very painful thing that consumes energy and time. Before you start or after writing a few thousand words, you will not feel bored with what you have written and the pain of not being able to write.
But after tens of thousands of words, you will find that the future development of what you have written is blurred. The plot story has no idea, the sense of failure that you don’t know what to write will drive you crazy. Coupled with the fact that newcomers were not popular at the time, no one looked at the writing mood, and the red ones were scolded to attack writing mood. Coupled with the feeling of exhaustion that cannot be written, this is the easiest to appear in writing, and it is also the first front line. It is a magic barrier. According to our experience, 30% of **** works fall here. of. This hurdle is the first dragon gate.
With an outline, it’s easier to go through here. If you know what your follow-up plot is, when you don’t know what to write, the outline will become a pillar to support you. You can read it to remember what was your passion for creating this book, what kind of story you want to write, what kind of plot. I can even recall why I thought my book could be popular and it could become income.
Even the old author, after writing hundreds of thousands of words, the creativity and passion for creating this story disappeared in the passage of time. Having an outline can also allow the author to have a better ending, rather than The simple ending is cursed by readers.
One more point is that new authors often write off their own topics. For example, good sports, but will jump out of cultivation, magic superpowers and the like. Or it's obviously an adventure, but suddenly a lot of campuses come out, the highlight of the original work disappeared just like this. And having an outline is very helpful for the author to grasp the overall situation of the work.
After talking about the benefits of so many outlines, how can I write a suitable outline?
Or some authors said that I wrote tens of thousands of words in the setting, as large as the world, as small as the production of a pistol, is this not a good outline?
Then here is my clear answer, setting is not equal to the outline. The outline is essentially to construct the skeleton of the plot you imagined and the relationship between the main characters. The subsequent writing is to use words to make the skeleton full. As for the details, that is not what the outline needs to pay attention to. You can write that the protagonist has nothing to do with the gold to pay the bill in the restaurant, or you can write that millions of troops fight melee. But these things are not what the outline needs to consider.
My personal outline is to use time as a framework to frame the time for the protagonist to experience things, and then decide the ending. This is the general outline I used. Then for each large paragraph, about 100,000 words, a more detailed outline will be drawn up. Make sure that you mainly write about the characters in the stage.
As I write about Fengyue Street, I have written about 500,000 words and the main line outline is about 5,000 words. Determines the protagonist’s character, origin, opening and ending, and the main enemy. Then there are three paragraph outlines, each about 1,500 words.
Believe me, when you write down the story you want to write in a thousands-word outline, it will be of great help to the author. The outline is not good or bad, as long as you can determine the main line of your work. As long as you are willing to write, there will be a suitable outline. Remember, the outline is the main line of the story you describe.
In addition to the outline, as I said earlier, many authors like to write a lot of settings before the plot of the work begins. What is the composition of the country, continental environment, ethnic distribution, warship configuration, etc. However, in the Internet age, how can readers have the patience and obligation to read a lot of boring, unspoken explanatory text. Well, maybe the author is still aggrieved, I wrote that is a setting, they can start from the text? I didn't have to ask them to watch this?
My answer is, what are you doing? Readers often read books from the beginning, especially new books. They often come in by accident. But when you open the reading area, there are a lot of boring materials. At this time, ten readers, at least five off the page left. No matter how hard you write settings and brainstorm, you shouldn't post it in your own work. I have been at the starting point for so long, and I have never read any book with a large set of settings from the beginning can become popular.
The setting is best in the plot, with a little bit of disclosure to the reader. On the one hand, it is easier for readers to accept mixed information in the plot, and on the other hand, it can also fill in their own word count.
There is another serious problem with too many settings. For the starting point editorial department, every book with more than 30,000 words will be displayed on the editing worksheet. Two editors cross-examined, and according to the content of the first 30,000 words of the work, they will be divided into four items: worthless, follow-up observation, key follow-up, and contract.
After that, only the editor of the follow-up work will always pay attention to the plot development of the book to see if it has the value of signing. If a book is opened with thirty or forty thousand words, and then the editor reads a lot of setting information, the content is pitiful, and basically it is directly classified as worthless. So at least I want to develop at the starting point and write a lot of settings at the front of the book, which is suicidal behavior.
Starting point recommendation list guide
Recommendation lists that each perform their duties and have their own characteristics are the starting point for a special landscape. For readers, each recommendation list allows them to choose their favorite guides from a collection of thousands of books. For the author, Each recommendation list is the best publicity for your own work. The following briefly introduces the starting point of various manual and automatic ranking principles.
1. Manual list:
The starting point manual list mainly includes cover recommendation, strong recommendation, Sanjiang recommendation, middle column recommendation, album recommendation and page cover recommendation. Among them, the first three are the most prominent in terms of the publicity effect of the works and the reading influence on readers. The following mainly introduces the three recommended principles for listing.
1. Cover recommendation:
Located in the most conspicuous position on the right side of the homepage. It has been on the list for two days. It has an unparalleled publicity effect on other lists. Almost all blocked works can easily enter the weekly click list, so the cover recommendation is also required The most stringent. The main principles are as follows:
The works signed by the starting point will be selected and reviewed by the starting point review committee.
Starting point review committee: composed of all editors of the starting point editorial department and the starting point webmaster.
2. Strong recommendation:
Located on the left side of the homepage, the recommendation effect is second only to the cover recommendation, and it is also the most common and main recommendation method at the starting point. Forced push cycle: one week, time to change the list: Sunday. The principles for listing are as follows:
Signed works at the starting point; the number of words in the work is more than 100,000 words; the author has tens of thousands of words in his hand to save the manuscript first, and sensitive works are not recommended. Five of them were jointly selected by the starting point editorial department, and the remaining ten were arranged according to the date of receipt of the agreement.
3. Sanjiang recommendation:
Located on the right side of the homepage, below the cover recommendation. Unlike Feng Tui's recommendation, Sanjiang recommendation is mainly for new books. The recommendation cycle: one week, and the time of the list change: Sunday. Please refer to the announcement of the Sanjiang Pavilion Forum for details on the principle of listing.
Second, automatic list:
The starting point automatic list has total click list, total recommendation list, total collection list, total word count list, monthly click list, monthly recommendation list, weekly click list, weekly recommendation list, new book list and the recently added Zhibrain recommendation book system . Among these lists are the newcomer potential list and the new book potential list. For new books, being able to have a place on the new book list is a very rare publicity opportunity.
■Questions and answers for new authors from the starting point
Up to now, the original literature website has been developed, and it is no longer the same kind of site that was limited to small groups a few years ago. With the continuous birth of excellent works and the rapid growth of readership, original online literature has been gradually The formation of another literary trend, the successful operation of works and the initial development of the domestic simplified market have added more bargaining chips to this trend of change, and more and more professional or amateur writers have begun to participate. Among them, wanting to break through among the many big and famous giants is also more difficult than a few years ago. Often after hundreds of thousands of words have been devoted, only a few clicks and recommendations are exchanged, and the onlookers feel chilled when they look at it. Could it be said that only lucky people can be favored by readers? The answer is of course no. The main reason for being buried is that new writers do not yet understand the rules of the online literature market. This guide is for all new writers.
I don’t expect all authors who read this guide to be popular, but at least they can avoid some detours. However, before starting this guide, I hope every new writer can do the following multiple-choice question:
The purpose of your writing is:
A: Write a satisfactory work and write it to people you like.
B: Be famous, publish, make money.
For writers who choose A, please read the chapter of struggle, and writers who choose B, please read the chapter of survival. For those who hesitate between AB or want to have both, congratulations, you can just close this page, and point out the works that are both applauded and called, which is beyond my own ability.
Chapter of Struggle
The writer who chooses this path must first have a good mentality and always keep in mind the purpose of his creation, but even so, he will still be shaken by the bleak click recommendation, the desolation of no one cares, and he will be cruel Struggling with hard support is the future that friends who choose this path are most likely to face.
Writing itself is not a smooth road, but to write a satisfactory work, it is more difficult to choose a bumpy path along the road, and it requires great perseverance and courage to persevere. Don’t ask for it if you click on the recommendation. As for the applause, you need to use your own efforts in exchange for it.
Basically, this path can be simply boiled down to the process of communication-absorption-modification-communication.
The so-called communication refers to the communication with the readers of the work. Although new works are not easy to appear, in general, a small number of readers will find that if you are lucky, they may encounter sincerity at the beginning Readers who love works, this is the initial audience group. The only way to find these initial audience groups is to study book reviews. The reason why it is called research is to find the real book reviews under the cover of many panacea. It is a very difficult job, so the first thing that struggling A people need to learn is to identify the panacea. For example, no matter how gorgeous or touching your heart is, it has a common feature, that is, it will never be embodied in any character, background, plot or detail of the work. As long as this principle is mastered, then the ability to discriminate the golden oil has been cultivated to the elementary level, and then you can honed and progress in actual combat. After discovering the real book review, the next step is to actively contact the readers who wrote the book review. Don't let go of your airs. Before you become a giant, airing is meaningless. Only through communication can you discover more about the deficiencies of your work. Place, and thus enter the next link of absorption.
It’s better to absorb this link than the former. Generally speaking, old readers have more “experience” than new writers. Of course, those who transfer from old readers do not count. Since the development of original literature, all kinds of books have already multiplied over ten thousand books. The so-called reading breaking ten thousand volumes is not impossible on the Internet. If the'reading' calendar is higher, the vision and brushwork will be improved accordingly. Knowing your own shortcomings, you can also improve your'experience' in a targeted manner.
After the absorption is completed, I am revised, and my level has been improved. I am afraid that the things I wrote before are already riddled with holes in my own eyes. Then don’t hesitate to revise it immediately, although readers don’t like to read the revisions. Chapters, but if you don’t care about tweets, why do you need to care about these little things? Perfecting your own article is the key.
After the modification is completed, it depends on the results. Continue to communicate. However, the object of communication can not be limited to the readers. You can also consult other authors you know during the absorption process, etc., and then repeat the same process to continuously improve yourself , As long as the work is good enough, it will always be recognized by others and will have its own fixed audience. As long as I can persevere, I will be able to complete a work that satisfies myself.
It seems simple to say, but it is not easy to do it in practice. The words lonely are probably the vocabulary that little A must understand. However, the author who can complete it has also received a kind of spiritual training, and the completed work definitely has its shining value. One day will be recognized and will shine.
The end of the road of struggle may be hope or nothing. If you don't have enough courage, endurance and knowledge of yourself, you should not choose this path lightly.
The path of struggle corresponds to ideals. Pursuing ideals in reality is not a romantic and freehand thing, but the person who completes this path, no matter what he gets at the end, is a success.
The chapter of survival
The writer who chooses this path is a very realistic writer, but this path is even more cruel for newcomers. There are unique rules on the Internet. Newcomers who don’t understand these rules are making their debut. The chance of becoming popular in one shot is almost negligible. Whether we can survive on this road is the reality that editors must face. For the editors who have chosen this path, clicking on recommendation and collecting are their goals. The following guidelines are all based on this goal.
One of the survival tips: save the manuscript.
Newcomers who write for the first time often make such a mistake, which is to write and post as many as not to keep the manuscript. This kind of mistake has no effect on the small A, but for the small editor, such a mistake is often deadly. Generally speaking, new works are not completely unattended. Some old readers and contracted editors of various websites are dedicated to staring at the new books that appear daily, hoping to discover promising works, but *the original release It is also unrealistic to win the invitation in a few chapters. Of course, sending hundreds of thousands of words at a time is even more undesirable. It doesn't make any sense and wastes valuable update deposits. On the Internet, there are only deposits. In order to ensure uninterrupted updates, and update is the second in the survival secrets. Generally speaking, for writers who have experienced the failure of their debut works, most of the second works are updated on the Internet after writing 150,000 to 200,000 characters. You may wish to pay attention to this number. About 200,000 characters, it is equivalent to three episodes of traditional version or a simplified version of one book. If the book is not paid attention to after its release, it can be ended quickly. This is also one of the skills that editors must master.
The second survival secret: update.
How can a new book receive enough attention? Update, only by updating, that is, increasing the chance of appearing on the homepage, will expand the readership. However, the number of updates is directly related to the number of manuscripts in your hand, and the number of words updated daily is also related to a pair of new works. It is said that the most important list-the new book list, 30,000 words are on the list, 150,000 words are off the list, how to control the degree is also a very knowledgeable thing. The first is the number of updates. The number should not be too much or less than twice a day. Especially for new books, works updated within a certain period of time will not appear on the homepage. If this rule is not taken into account, update You will suffer a lot from the above. I suggest that editors do experiments to accurately grasp the impact of time on the update. The second is the updated word count. Most of the previous works are 3~5k in length. With the increasingly fierce online competition, the 2K Party gradually replaced the 3K Party, and even the 1K Party became popular. I personally do not recommend the 1K Party. The number of words in chapters still has its own basic standard. Once it is lower than this standard, readers will doubt the author’s attitude. For now, the 2K Party is already the limit of readers. Chapters with more than 1,000 words will Understood by readers as disrespect, this short-term benefit is better not to be obtained. The last is the update time. This should be tied to the number of updates. Editors may wish to pay attention to the length of time the updated works can stay on the homepage at each time period, update as much as possible in the low peak period, and extend their stay as long as possible. The time the homepage resides. I won’t talk about the specific time period. Everyone knows that it’s meaningless. Everything has to be explored by yourself.
The third secret of survival: advertising.
No matter how hard you try, new works are still easily buried in the book. The most effective means of publicity on the Internet is advertising. Keeping posting on forums touting yourself can only be regarded as inferior advertising, but will Because of fatigue bombing, the effect of melatonin is produced. It’s only a little bit higher to change the vest in the forum and book review area. It may not have any significant effect. The smartest thing is to join the club. There are many big brothers in the new league, and there are many strong books that will be included. Advertising space, communicate well with seniors in the forum, it will be easy to get advertising opportunities, and there are many advertising spaces for works recommended on the homepage. If you have the opportunity to get it and take it well, it will greatly accelerate the growth of your readers. Of course, Xinzuomeng has more benefits, and it will be beneficial to consult famous authors about their writing experience. This is no longer the era of boring creation. Only communication can get the latest information and get more opportunities. Make more friends, and your work will have more chances to make an appearance. But one thing is very important, you must sincerely ask for advice, otherwise it is meaningless.
Fourth Cheats for Survival: Signing contract and homepage recommendation.
The ultimate goal of the editors is to make a profit, so signing a contract is the only way to go. As long as you meet the criteria for signing a contract, you don’t hesitate to apply. In addition to signing a contract, Sanjiang recommends you to choose. However, Editors who pay attention to clicks have a small chance of being selected. Don’t worry about those who choose or not. Signing is the ultimate goal. The attitude of applying for signing should be sincere. Don’t rush for quick success and make repeated applications in a short time to avoid causing bad editors. If you miss the opportunity to sign the contract, you can ask for the contact method of the review editors if possible, and you can directly communicate and understand the softness and weakness of your work. If the contract is successful, then the first step of the goal has been completed. If not, don’t hesitate Now... it's time to bravely swing the knife. Remember the path you choose, works that can't bring you material benefits, and there is no need to continue. After signing the contract, the editor will fulfill the contract and give you the opportunity to recommend on the homepage. At this time, you are not welcome, and use all means to actively contact your editor until all the recommendations that can be obtained are available.
Survival Cheats No. 5: Shelves and Post-Propaganda
The main profit channel of works is the subscription income of chapters. The listing of works is proposed by the author himself. The main data to be considered for listing is the number of collections. Generally speaking, the number of subscriptions and the number of collections are on average 1:10. Use the income you want to determine the time of listing. After the listing, there will be some promotional opportunities for the works on the shelves. You are welcome, continue to bother your contracted editors. The speed of chapter lifting is also a subject worthy of study. It should not be too fast to release the ban. If the release is fast, subscriptions will inevitably drop, and it should not be too slow. If it is slow, the collection will drop. So once you reach the standard that can be lifted, try your best Write more and less explanations. When you solve 5,000 words, you can also post 10,000-word chapters. This will ensure that your subscriptions continue to increase. There are also some small methods such as changing free chapters and publicity. You can learn from your own experience.
Survival Cheats No. 6: Publishing and Agency
Generally speaking, the profit that the electronic version can earn is not as good as the income of publishing, and editors also work hard with publishing as the goal. For newcomers, they often encounter them when they are just emerging. Some "enthusiasts" contacted under the banner of major publishing houses. In fact, most of these people are scammers. Even if they do have publishing channels, they will help you with a large amount of intermediary fees. Personally, I suggest that you don’t easily believe that publishing agencies are good. Signing a contract with the website is a safer method. The website itself will help the author to publish on behalf of the author. However, unlike the agency, the website itself does not charge an agency fee, and if the book itself has a market If you do, the website may also buy out the works. Although the buyout may seem like a disadvantage at first, a stable life of counting money is better than worrying about subscriptions.
The above six points are the secrets for successfully passing the road to survival. However, the secrets are only software after all, which can only reduce some difficulties. It is the work itself that really determines the fate of the work. Choosing a subject matter is first a test. Although it is generally not too miserable to follow a popular trend, it is not easy to be popular. The best way is to lead a new trend, but this requirement is too high for a novice. Secondly, you must also have a good grasp of readers’ tastes. Readers of online works currently read books online for an enjoyment. Bringing in too much thought will only affect the fluency of the work and clearly understand their readers. What you need, what you don’t need is the necessary ability of a popular author.
The road to survival corresponds to reality. There are many real people in this world, so the competition is fierce, but those who stand out smoothly will win tangible material benefits. This is also the most attractive part of the road to survival.
Summary
This guide gives two extreme directions. In fact, most authors did not clearly understand what their purpose of writing was before entering this line, so they would feel that it was too silly to choose the path of struggle. Those who choose the path of survival are too utilitarian, but the people who wander between the two paths are often the ones who get nothing in the end. Those who get both can meet hard to find, and it is the most practical way to clarify your goals early. I hope this article can give you novices practical help.

Starting point of signing In history, many writers engaged in literary writing died of hunger and cold. If there are gods and Buddhas in this world or the Holy Spirit of the West, would these heavenly rulers really envy the chants of these human souls? Or, use the curse of poverty to treat those who are engaged in literary careers? Do not! This history should end him forever. As the most fashionable and dynamic original literature of this era, he should not remain in the shadow of poverty and no one cares about it. Because in this era, we are the most watched star of the era, and we are the spiritual focus of much attention. Maybe in the past we had nothing but cheers and increasing clicks, but today we have a starting point in Chinese and his. From then on, we will escape from the curse of God, and we will finally have a firm grasp of our own destiny. Hurry up and join the starting point Chinese and become the author of starting point. Perhaps in the near future, you will become the Tolkien, Jin Yong, and Huang Yi of the new era. If you are still hesitating, if you do not know what it is, then you must carefully read the following explanation, because there will only be one chance for this. 1. What is the starting point for the signing of works: future masters. If your work has been recognized by most readers, and also recognized by the starting point editor. Then you can try to apply to the starting point to sign the starting point work agreement. After signing the contract, your work will become a work with the mark of a good starting point. And the content released in the future will be charged for reading on the starting point platform. And for the first time, you will get the generous compensation paid by the starting point through your excellent writing ability. You don't have to wait for the long review time like traditional publishing, and you don't have to wait for the same long publishing time after review. As long as you are, then you can receive the starting salary every month. 2. How to sign the starting point works: 1. Of course, you have to become the starting point columnist. 2. Then quickly apply for a contract in the starting point writer area, and the administrator will contact the author after reviewing the work. 3. What you will get from the starting point of signing: 1. It may be a generous electronic version of the author's remuneration that is beyond your imagination. Because the starting point currently runs the most successful commercial novel website in China, it has the largest number of paying users in the country. Now the number of paying users from the starting point has surpassed the 150,000 mark, and the monthly contribution amount is nearly 2 million yuan, which is more than a hundred times higher than similar websites in China! As of the beginning of December 2005, nearly 20 authors earned more than 10,000 yuan in that month. According to the remuneration for a thousand-character manuscript, the average manuscript remuneration for authors who completed the agreed number of words (20,000 words/month) reached nearly 40 yuan per thousand characters, and the maximum manuscript remuneration was more than 300 yuan per thousand characters (thousands of Taiwan dollars). Such a high income from author's remuneration is not inferior to the traditional publishing industry in Taiwan and the mainland, and it is even higher than that. At a time when the publishing industry on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is not very prosperous, the sudden emergence of the starting point Chinese is like a timely rain, giving new vitality to the slowly shrinking novel publishing industry. At the same time, starting point Chinese not only surprises authors in terms of remuneration, but also provides excellent authors with additional awards and free travel and inspiration opportunities. Various care measures are meticulous and considerate, so that our authors can devote more enthusiasm to the passion of creation. Although we do not want to advertise our success, we have to point out that. Although there are many websites engaged in publishing at present, the starting point is far ahead of other websites in terms of the author's care and support, or in terms of the income that the author is most concerned about. Its lead is not even reasonable, and a gap of more than 10 times is usually just a common phenomenon. (Digression: If you have been paid 500/month in some places, would you consider starting a high-income life with a monthly income of 5,000?) 2. Get better and more effective work promotion and publicity The current starting point in Chinese is a large-scale original portal website with a daily PV of up to 50 million. The title of No. 1 in the world is definitely not a boast of the starting point, but an objective fact supported by many third parties and strong data, and the traffic of the starting point is still growing at a high speed, and it is expected to be close to the level of domestic mainstream portals by the end of this year . Therefore, all works promoted by the starting point will get satisfactory results that exceed expectations. The starting point will make every effort to promote and publicize the signed works. The scope involved is not only at the network level. The depth, intensity and scope of the promotion are definitely not beyond the reach of any other website. If you want to be an excellent author with a high reputation, then the starting point for signing will be your best choice. 3. The dream of publishing a book is fulfilled, although the starting point provides a very good remuneration. However, it is still the ultimate dream and wish of every author to transform his work into type. The agreement of the starting point is very user-friendly and reserves the copyright rights of the simplified and traditional characters for the authors to reserve the best channel for the authors to publish. In addition, Starting Point Chinese has a lot of excellent publishing resources on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In Taiwan, Starting Point Chinese maintains close cooperation with six to eight publishing houses. Among them, there are many famous publishing companies in Taiwan such as Xinchang Publishing House and Adventure Paradise. Therefore, for all signed works, the starting point will be recommended to the Taiwan publishing house at the first time, and the publisher will also give priority to the publication review of the starting point works. Cumulatively, Qidian has published more than 100 novels in Taiwan. And this recommendation is entirely the starting point Chinese to provide the authors with care services. The author has never been charged any intermediary fees. At the same time, the starting point has received full support from all the publishing resources of Shanda. In 2005, the starting point has published and co-published nearly 50 simplified works in total. The starting point will launch large-scale simplified publishing for the domestic publishing market in 2006. The starting point novel will Formally entered the domestic market. Like the goal of the starting point, our publishing goal is also the first in the country. Joining the starting point is the first step for authors to truly enter professional authors and book publishing. And the speed of this step will change a lot, a lot... 4. The most trustworthy guarantee of credibility and the best development opportunities. For everything built from the above starting point, it is based on the strong background resources and Chinese language of the starting point. Above the best business reputation. From the perspective of company operations, the starting point is the corporate members of Shanda Networks, a NASDAQ-listed company in the United States. It has the world's top accounting firm for financial auditing and supervision. All the announcement data is clear and true, and the author's remuneration is monthly. Payments arrive in the account in time, and will not use excuses such as various channels to deduct or default on the author's remuneration. The settlement between the starting point and the author is calculated based on the reader's subscription, and the so-called channel fees are entirely borne by the starting point. The sales volume is transparent, the settlement method is clear and clear, and there is no ambiguity. The author can accurately and timely understand the reader's response, and the author's personal income tax is adjusted to the lowest level in the industry through the help of professional tax experts. From the Shanda original literary tour at the end of 2004, more than 70 domestic top Internet masters gathered together, to the launch of the million-year salary plan for professional writers from the starting point in 2005, to the publicity and promotion activities of the national university youth campus, the signing authors of the starting point have been Enjoy the joy of success that comes with the starting point. Following the starting point can help the writer dream, and following the starting point can achieve success. This is the consensus of the author! As an excellent literary website, Starting Point always takes a long-term perspective on the original literary career it is engaged in. Although profit is the basis for the healthy survival and development of the starting point company, it is by no means the purpose of starting point Chinese development. We always insist on helping and supporting authors, innovating and serving readers, making fantasy literature become mainstream literature, and enabling network writers to truly base themselves on the original goal of the literary field! Three years ago, when the starting point Chinese was a small website, we worked so hard! Three years later, the starting point Chinese is already the world's number one Chinese literary website. We still insist on it. In these three years, the vicissitudes of life have changed. How many once famous literary websites have fallen and closed, and how many authors have fallen into the publishing trap because of impulsive selection of their beloved. In the end, it was hopeless to publish or published but no receipts, and there was nowhere to ask for remuneration. Starting point Chinese is anxious in my eyes. It is precisely because we have witnessed too many examples and lessons of this kind that it has made the starting point Chinese to develop desperately. Here, we assure everyone that what we are going to do is not a short-sighted three-year career, but for the longer 30, 300 years in the future... Dear authors and friends, please trust our promise. We once again promise to everyone that choosing a starting point means choosing tomorrow. Thanks to all the authors and readers who support the starting point, let us succeed together!
From the starting point to today, nearly 60,000 original books have been collected, which is inseparable from the support of the authors. Now, almost every day 100-200 new books are applying for storage review, which makes us very happy. In this regard, the starting point is to further standardize the scope of new works. The following help files are hereby issued. I hope that most authors will pay attention when applying for new books:
I. About the subject matter of the work
1. It is better not to write about the political events, famous politicians and their children in China from 1919-2050. Often, too little content is submitted for review when entering the library. The editor is worried that there will be illegal content later, and will first refuse to enter the library and ask you to explain it. It will definitely delay the review time.
2. Although it is claimed to be a virtual background, do not write too obvious prohibited content. For example, country Z, T island, X Tibet, and J country, and then write articles involving sensitive relationships. I advise you not to try it lightly. Even if you change to China, Treasure Island, and Japan, it is prohibited. The country has always paid great attention to such works. The banned books of this type are examples.
3. The political and military descriptions with absolute Chinese characteristics should be used with caution as a background. For example, what kind of chairman, instructor, etc., especially some overhead articles, you have to write overhead, rebirth, and crossing, whether it is struck by lightning, dreaming, car accident, everything is good, why? Do you have to write something about soldier fights, spies, political conspiracies, etc.? You said that you wrote about China, not China. You said you didn't mention what country it is, but how many countries have such distinctive titles? The editor will be very cautious when he sees it, and is afraid that you will write something later, so that you can only explain it clearly and make changes before entering the library.
4. Never write about pornography. We don't welcome this kind of books, and they cannot be written well. Some people say that what I wrote is not pornography. The whole book is all about picking up girls, all about extramarital affairs, all about getting involved, such as "Me and My 34 Women", "A Romance of a Strong Man". You said that you didn't describe it explicitly or prohibited words? Your subject is very vulgar, who knows if there will be problems after you enter the library? Don't give an example and argue with the editor that the starting point has a book with a similar theme, that is a historical issue, even if it is a very popular book, the starting point has never restricted their recommendations. And now the starting point is constantly improving and standardizing these standards, so I also hope that authors and friends will maintain a good library environment together.
5. Write **** in the name of animals. During the review, some authors, in the name of "I am a pig", wrote something very abnormal, wrote about humans and animals, and wrote about animals and animals. They actually asked the editor through the administrator's message that I did not I wrote about human organs. I didn’t write about human sexual psychology. Why didn’t it pass? Here, we can clearly say that the starting point of this type of subject matter is not included, so please do not upload such works.
Second, about article titles and chapter titles
1. Too pornographic and ambiguous. Many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that using vocabulary with words or ambiguous words as titles or chapter names can attract attention. It is true that it will attract attention, including the attention of editors. The result is that you refuse to enter the warehouse and ask you to change the title. Don't explain, "My Adult Story" is because you are an adult, so you want to write about how you grew up as an adult. If this is the case, you can call it "My Growth Story". Don't always use lust, eroticism, or lewdness, and then explain that what I write is just some of the characteristics of human nature. If you change some characteristics and write well, it will be red. The works that are really successful at the starting point are all due to the smooth writing of the work itself and the outstanding plot conception, rather than thinking about the title. So please author friends to work with us to maintain the original green creative environment of the starting point.
2. Don't add anything produced by Meng or Ge in the title. The starting point has no liking for these cheating alliances and courts. Please author friends to maintain their own works.
3. Don't try to spoof in the title. For example, the starting point of the Sanjiang Conferred God Record, Xiefengqu, etc., and then explained that it did not mean that. Respecting others is also respecting oneself.
Three, it is about the content introduction, main text and outer chapter
1. Don't show any alliances or cabinets and countless advertisements in the introduction. The introduction is for readers to easily know the theme and content of your book. Don't use it for factional purposes, especially those with a bunch of leagues, pavilions, and a bunch of advertisements. When the editor sees it, they will be deleted directly when they are put in the library. So please don’t put some irrelevant content on the introduction. A refreshing introduction is what readers want to see.
2. Plagiarism must not be stored in the library. This is very clear. The starting point only includes original works. If it is reprinted, it must be certified by the original author, and the original author’s name must be used for uploading. Regarding the criteria and penalties for plagiarism, please read the announcement on the homepage of the starting point.
3. Do not violate the prohibition in the text. The specific requirements have been stated clearly in the topic selection. Here are two more points: The first is about national curse. You have to be cool and the character's temperament. There is no problem, but please note that if your profanity is too extensive, this is absolutely against the regulations, please respect yourself; It's about what pornographic descriptions are. Don't write about all sexual organs or obvious covert terms for **** organs, and don't write about the process and sexual psychology in the process. We don't accept H texts, and don't try to make a side ball. Our standards in this area will only become stricter and too much. We will delete books or even columns when we store them. Even if you are mixed into the library, once you report it, you may not escape the fate of being deleted directly. So please author friends abide by the national regulations.
4. Don't show unnecessary links with signatures in the outer part, and oppose the call of this and that. If you find that although the book has passed the review, but many of the extras have been stuck, then please be conscious and don’t repeat it again and again. Readers don't want to always see content that has nothing to do with the work. To respect readers is to respect yourself.
Four. About the word count
1. Starting point, except for American books, all books in the library require more than 5,000 words and three chapters before they are passed.
2. Please do not post the same content and the same chapter many times. Or post some nonsense repeatedly in a chapter.
3. Don't divide the 2000-3000 words into several chapters and paste them. The editor will read it. If you look at the bar, you will know that the number of words is not enough.
4. Please note that the number of words we require is the number of words in the main text of the work. Your original text reaches this number of words, and it is not enough for you to post a bunch of materials in the work-related or outer parts. So please pay attention to these details. Let your work quickly pass the review.
Five. There are a few common problems.
1. About plagiarism. When all books are applied for storage review, the editor will search the Internet for similar works. So, don’t plagiarize, you can find it, even if it is an article posted by others on a forum or blog. Believe me, the current search engines are still very useful.
2. About the author's pseudonym. Many articles are not first published at the starting point, so the editor will find similar works on the Internet and first check the author's name. Therefore, please try to use the same author's name to post articles, this is also very good for increasing the popularity of the name. In fact, because you cannot register the same name, please give an explanation in advance with the title of "please see" in the work-related work. After editing and confirming, this chapter will be deleted for you, don't worry. This is much more convenient than leaving a message through the administrator channel.
3. Time for review. We promise to review within 48 hours, but please note that when we say within 48 hours, we mean mid-day. Usually, if you apply in the afternoon from Monday to Friday, you should be able to review the results within 24 hours. But if you submit the review on weekends or weekends, we will review as soon as possible.
4. How to ask the administrator for help. If you really need to consult the administrator about warehousing, please select the corresponding question about warehousing review in the contact administrator on the left side of the author area to send a text message on the site, and please specify your book title and book number in the text message For processing. In addition to the storage issues, please send text messages to the corresponding channel, so that you can get a quick answer. If you send the wrong channel, you will lose everyone's time, because the editor is to reply to the respective channel, and the error will cause Transit, delay time.
VI. What happens after the book is rejected?
1. If you find that your book has been rejected, please don't get angry.
2. Please first check whether the number of words submitted is sufficient. If it is insufficient, submit it again after making up.
3. Then consider whether you have violated the rules, such as politics, pornography, and plagiarism. You should know this in your own mind.
4. Please pay attention to whether there is an editor's message for you in the "work related" section of the article. For example, there is an extra chapter such as "Please read and reply to the author" or "Similar to XX works, please explain". If there is, please explain or reply according to the requirements inside, directly in that chapter and follow The editor’s request can be explained later, and there is no need to leave a message in the administrator’s mailbox. Reply or operate as required and then resubmit for review.
5. If you find that the book has been deleted and you are sure that you have no illegal content, please check your SMS box to see if there is a text message from the administrator to you, because it is likely that a network error has caused empty chapters in your work. So you need to upload the work again.
Although the above content is trivial, it is indeed often encountered during the warehousing review. Here is a brief summary for your reference.
Instructions for the layout of the works in the library
Any chapter uploaded by the author will be automatically typeset at the starting point, including two blank spaces before paragraphs, and blank lines after paragraphs. At the same time, this revision also adds the function of uploading image links. Attention all authors:
1. The starting point cannot handle typesetting caused by hard carriage return and line feed. Examples are as follows:
Line feed within natural paragraph: It should be a soft return, that is, a natural line feed without pressing the enter key. Line feed between natural segments: There should be a hard return between each natural segment, that is, the segment generated by pressing the enter key. Hard carriage return line feed means that in the process of entering an article, each line is written by pressing the carriage return key (ie the enter key), instead of writing through the automatic line feed function of the writing software (for example) until it is necessary to segment Press the Enter key to change paragraphs only when. It looks like it will be lined up very well, but it can't automatically adapt to the size of the screen, so it will display messy after entering the library.
Articles entered after hard carriage return and line feed will be typeset as follows (error):
I typeset with a carriage return and line feed, and I have to press a carriage return for each line of writing, which is laborious and bothersome
I typeset with a carriage return and line feed, and I have to press a carriage return for each line of writing, which is laborious and bothersome

I typeset with a carriage return and line feed, and I have to press a carriage return for each line of writing, which is laborious and bothersome
Articles that have not been entered with a hard carriage return and line feed will be typeset as follows (correct):

Only when I must segment, I Then I press the Enter key, which is clear and intuitive. I use automatic line wrapping to write. Only when I have to segment, I press the Enter key.

This is clear and intuitive. I use automatic line wrapping to write. Only when it must be segmented,
2. The picture display function in the chapter is a link to the displayed picture. If the author needs to display the picture in the chapter, he must enter the name and link address of the picture, and make sure that the picture is available on the Internet, not the picture Only in your machine, otherwise it will not be displayed.
3. Punctuation marks: They are all full-width symbols, occupying the position of a Chinese character. Except for double quotation marks, single quotation marks, book title numbers, single brackets, and dashes at the beginning of the line, do not use other punctuation marks.
4. Numbers and English letters: all are half-width symbols.
5, Title and Author: no longer appear in the text.
■Notes on Sub-volumes of Entry-in Works
1. The sub-volume function of a work is used to set the volume and chapter level of a work. By default, a work is divided into three sub-volume serial numbers—>100, work-related 200, text 300, and biography
Two. The work system is divided into three sub-volume definitions by default:
1, 100 works related: you can enter chapters such as works settings, works forewords, works information, etc.
2, 200 text: You can enter the chapters of the text of the work. It can also be renamed 200 Volume One; 201 Volume Two; 202 Chapter Three; etc.
3, 300 Gaiden: You can enter the chapters of the work’s Gaiden, Gai, and Gai.
4. The works included in the author area before the revision may not contain the above three default sub-volumes.
3. The sub-volume serial number is the only indicator of the order of the sub-volumes. When the new sub-volume serial number is larger than the existing sub-volume serial number, it will be placed in the back, and the smaller will be placed in the front.
Four, management sub-volume example:

Starting point recommendation list guide
Recommendation lists that each perform their duties and have their own characteristics are the starting point for a special landscape. For readers, each recommendation list allows them to choose their favorite guides from a collection of thousands of books. For the author, Each recommendation list is the best publicity for your own work. The following briefly introduces the starting point of various manual and automatic ranking principles.
1. Manual list:
The starting point manual list mainly includes cover recommendation, strong recommendation, Sanjiang recommendation, middle column recommendation, album recommendation and page cover recommendation. Among them, the first three are the most prominent in terms of the publicity effect of the works and the reading influence on readers. The following mainly introduces the three recommended principles for listing.
1. Cover recommendation:
Located in the most conspicuous position on the right side of the homepage. It has been on the list for two days. It has an unparalleled publicity effect on other lists. Almost all blocked works can easily enter the weekly click list, so the cover recommendation is also required The most stringent. The main principles are as follows:
The works signed by the starting point will be selected and reviewed by the starting point review committee.
Starting point review committee: composed of all editors of the starting point editorial department and the starting point webmaster.
2. Strong recommendation:
Located on the left side of the homepage, the recommendation effect is second only to the cover recommendation, and it is also the most common and main recommendation method at the starting point. Forced push cycle: one week, time to change the list: Sunday. The principles for listing are as follows:
Signed works at the starting point; the number of words in the work is more than 100,000 words; the author has tens of thousands of words in his hand to save the manuscript first, and sensitive works are not recommended. Five of them were jointly selected by the starting point editorial department, and the remaining ten were arranged according to the date of receipt of the agreement.
3. Sanjiang recommendation:
Located on the right side of the homepage, below the cover recommendation. Unlike Feng Tui's recommendation, Sanjiang recommendation is mainly for new books. The recommendation cycle: one week, and the time of the list change: Sunday. Please refer to the announcement of the Sanjiang Pavilion Forum for details on the principle of listing.
Second, automatic list:
The starting point automatic list has total click list, total recommendation list, total collection list, total word count list, monthly click list, monthly recommendation list, weekly click list, weekly recommendation list, new book list and the recently added Zhibrain recommendation book system . Among these lists are the newcomer potential list and the new book potential list. For new books, being able to have a place on the new book list is a very rare publicity opportunity.
The chapter of survival
The writer who chooses this path is a very realistic writer, but this path is even more cruel for newcomers. There are unique rules on the Internet. Newcomers who don’t understand these rules are making their debut. The chance of becoming popular in one shot is almost negligible. Whether we can survive on this road is the reality that editors must face. For the editors who have chosen this path, clicking on recommendation and collecting are their goals. The following guidelines are all based on this goal.
One of the survival tips: save the manuscript.
Newcomers who write for the first time often make such a mistake, which is to write and post as many as not to keep the manuscript. This kind of mistake has no effect on the small A, but for the small editor, such a mistake is often deadly. Generally speaking, new works are not completely unattended. Some old readers and contracted editors of various websites are dedicated to staring at the new books that appear daily, hoping to discover promising works, but *the original release It is also unrealistic to win the invitation in a few chapters. Of course, sending hundreds of thousands of words at a time is even more undesirable. It doesn't make any sense and wastes valuable update deposits. On the Internet, there are only deposits. In order to ensure uninterrupted updates, and update is the second in the survival secrets. Generally speaking, for writers who have experienced the failure of their debut works, most of the second works are updated on the Internet after writing 150,000 to 200,000 characters. You may wish to pay attention to this number. About 200,000 characters, it is equivalent to three episodes of traditional version or a simplified version of one book. If the book is not paid attention to after its release, it can be ended quickly. This is also one of the skills that editors must master.
The second survival secret: update.
How can a new book receive enough attention? Update, only by updating, that is, increasing the chance of appearing on the homepage, will expand the readership. However, the number of updates is directly related to the number of manuscripts in your hand, and the number of words updated daily is also related to a pair of new works. It is said that the most important list-the new book list, 30,000 words are on the list, 150,000 words are off the list, how to control the degree is also a very knowledgeable thing. The first is the number of updates. The number should not be too much or less than twice a day. Especially for new books, works updated within a certain period of time will not appear on the homepage. If this rule is not taken into account, update You will suffer a lot from the above. I suggest that editors do experiments to accurately grasp the impact of time on the update. The second is the updated word count. Most of the previous works are 3~5k in length. With the increasingly fierce online competition, the 2K Party gradually replaced the 3K Party, and even the 1K Party became popular. I personally do not recommend the 1K Party. The number of words in chapters still has its own basic standard. Once it is lower than this standard, readers will doubt the author’s attitude. For now, the 2K Party is already the limit of readers. Chapters with more than 1,000 words will Understood by readers as disrespect, this short-term benefit is better not to be obtained. The last is the update time. This should be tied to the number of updates. Editors may wish to pay attention to the length of time the updated works can stay on the homepage at each time period, update as much as possible in the low peak period, and extend their stay as long as possible. The time the homepage resides. I won’t talk about the specific time period. Everyone knows that it’s meaningless. Everything has to be explored by yourself.
The third secret of survival: advertising.
No matter how hard you try, new works are still easily buried in the book. The most effective means of publicity on the Internet is advertising. Keeping posting on forums touting yourself can only be regarded as inferior advertising, but will Because of fatigue bombing, the effect of melatonin is produced. It’s only a little bit higher to change the vest in the forum and book review area. It may not have any significant effect. The smartest thing is to join the club. There are many big brothers in the new league, and there are many strong books that will be included. Advertising space, communicate well with seniors in the forum, it will be easy to get advertising opportunities, and there are many advertising spaces for works recommended on the homepage. If you have the opportunity to get it and take it well, it will greatly accelerate the growth of your readers. Of course, Xinzuomeng has more benefits, and it will be beneficial to consult famous authors about their writing experience. This is no longer the era of boring creation. Only communication can get the latest information and get more opportunities. Make more friends, and your work will have more chances to make an appearance. But one thing is very important, you must sincerely ask for advice, otherwise it is meaningless.
Fourth Cheats for Survival: Signing contract and homepage recommendation.
The ultimate goal of the editors is to make a profit, so signing a contract is the only way to go. As long as you meet the criteria for signing a contract, you don’t hesitate to apply. In addition to signing a contract, Sanjiang recommends you to choose. However, Editors who pay attention to clicks have a small chance of being selected. Don’t worry about those who choose or not. Signing is the ultimate goal. The attitude of applying for signing should be sincere. Don’t rush for quick success and make repeated applications in a short time to avoid causing bad editors. If you miss the opportunity to sign the contract, you can ask for the contact method of the review editors if possible, and you can directly communicate and understand the softness and weakness of your work. If the contract is successful, then the first step of the goal has been completed. If not, don’t hesitate Now... it's time to bravely swing the knife. Remember the path you choose, works that can't bring you material benefits, and there is no need to continue. After signing the contract, the editor will fulfill the contract and give you the opportunity to recommend on the homepage. At this time, you are not welcome, and use all means to actively contact your editor until all the recommendations that can be obtained are available.
Survival Cheats No. 5: Shelves and Post-Propaganda
The main profit channel of works is the subscription income of chapters. The listing of works is proposed by the author himself. The main data to be considered for listing is the number of collections. Generally speaking, the number of subscriptions and the number of collections are on average 1:10. Use the income you want to determine the time of listing. After the listing, there will be some promotional opportunities for the works on the shelves. You are welcome, continue to bother your contracted editors. The speed of chapter lifting is also a subject worthy of study. It should not be too fast to release the ban. If the release is fast, subscriptions will inevitably drop, and it should not be too slow. If it is slow, the collection will drop. So once you reach the standard that can be lifted, try your best Write more and less explanations. When you solve 5,000 words, you can also post 10,000-word chapters. This will ensure that your subscriptions continue to increase. There are also some small methods such as changing free chapters and publicity. You can learn from your own experience.
Survival Cheats No. 6: Publishing and Agency
Generally speaking, the profit that the electronic version can earn is not as good as the income of publishing, and editors also work hard with publishing as the goal. For newcomers, they often encounter them when they are just emerging. Some "enthusiasts" contacted under the banner of major publishing houses. In fact, most of these people are scammers. Even if they do have publishing channels, they will help you with a large amount of intermediary fees. Personally, I suggest that you don’t easily believe that publishing agencies are good. Signing a contract with the website is a safer method. The website itself will help the author to publish on behalf of the author. However, unlike the agency, the website itself does not charge an agency fee, and if the book itself has a market If you do, the website may also buy out the works. Although the buyout may seem like a disadvantage at first, a stable life of counting money is better than worrying about subscriptions.
The above six points are the secrets for successfully passing the road of survival. However, the secrets are only software after all, which can only reduce some difficulties~IndoMTL.com~ It is the work itself that really determines the fate of the work. Choosing a subject matter is first a test. Although it is generally not too miserable to follow a popular trend, it is not easy to be popular. The best way is to lead a new trend, but this requirement is too high for a novice. Secondly, you must also have a good grasp of readers’ tastes. Readers of online works currently read books online for an enjoyment. Bringing in too much thought will only affect the fluency of the work and clearly understand their readers. What you need, what you don’t need is the necessary ability of a popular author.
The road to survival corresponds to reality. There are many real people in this world, so the competition is fierce, but those who stand out smoothly will win tangible material benefits. This is also the most attractive part of the road to survival.
Summary
This guide gives two extreme directions. In fact, most authors did not clearly understand what their purpose of writing was before entering this line, so they would feel that it was too silly to choose the path of struggle. Those who choose the path of survival are too utilitarian, but the people who wander between the two paths are often the ones who get nothing in the end. Those who get both can meet hard to find, and it is the most practical way to clarify your goals early. I hope this article can give you novices practical help.
