Nightwatcher: Talk 1 about the recent plot


Tell me about the recent plot, no, talk about the overall plot of the third volume so far.

In my original idea, the third volume is about the story of juvenile travels and wandering rivers and lakes. It is a good idea to write about the characters and events on the rivers and lakes, but the reality is often skinny.

In order to write the third volume well, I read a lot of travel novels, cartoons, and movies.

Disappointingly discovered that if travel notes are placed in the online literary circle, the only outcome is that they will not accept it.

The reason is very simple. In travel novels, the protagonist is constantly walking and embarking on a journey. This leads to two results:

1: The character can't be shaped deeply and becomes a passerby.

Two: Readers have no sense of substitution or expectation.

I don’t need to explain the first point. I finally created the characters and became familiar with the place, and then set off immediately.

The most deadly point is the second point. Readers have no sense of substitution or expectation. As readers, you may not have summarized this phenomenon, but as an author, I have a relatively deep research on readers’ sense of expectation and substitution.

Fixed map, full of characters, more expectation and sense of substitution. .

For example, Xu Qi'an is going to sleep with a girl, Sleeping Master or Sleeping Goulan, which one is more looking forward to? Xu Qi'an has to pretend to be coercive, pretending to be coerced in front of the big bosses in the capital, or pretending to be coerced in front of a group of gangsters, which one is more expectant?

The former's sense of anticipation is based on the number of words, while travel-style novels are too "erratic" and go everywhere, so they can't create this sense of anticipation.

Before the beginning of the article, I originally planned to use the unit drama model to write the Jianghu chapter.

For example, using the Nine Dao Dragon Qi Host as the main line to write their stories, the protagonist participates as a bystander. But in this way, the protagonist's sense of existence is too low, and the coolness is not enough.

Not cool enough, it means no!

Later, I thought that a large number of small incidents could be used to make up for and increase the tension of the plot. Those small incidents do not have to be useful, but when passing through a certain village, I found ghosts and monsters to make up for it.

When passing by a town, a squire and bully are bullying men and women.

These are the usual methods used in travel notes, writing about the events and customs of the protagonist on the road, but they are not very useful for the main line.

Such a fragmented story, it's okay to write it accidentally, and if you write too much, there is neither a sense of substitution nor expectation, but it will give the reader the feeling that the author is in the water.

Until now, I haven't thought of a better way to solve these problems.

I would like to ask the boss, and then I thought, there are not many people who can teach me, besides, I don't know me either.

For the whole December, my writing status was in a scorched state.

I desperately want to find excitement, and want to increase the tension of the plot, so I have the story of the Buddha Pagoda, but after writing this, I found a problem: the foreshadowing is not enough~IndoMTL.com~ This foreshadowing is not about events It is too abrupt, but the characters on all sides have not yet become full, the characters are not full, and the pretense has no charm.

But the way the travel notes are written is like this.

Next, I will start the plot with "conflict", "crisis", "escalation" and Sleeping Master as the core. Then, according to the effect and your feedback, determine the length of the first half of the third volume.

The youth prison is only the first half of the third volume.

Let’s stop here, today I don’t have a word, I’ve been thinking about these issues.

Writing this single chapter, the first is to complain and vomit the bitterness of the creative process. The second is that if readers have any good suggestions, they can mention it in this chapter.

Is it a mountain stone that can be used for jade? Maybe your opinions will inspire me.

I am eager to have some in-depth, spiritual collisions with you. (Dog head)

Okay, go to dinner and finish the codeword.
