After a year and a half, I returned to the starting point and started writing a book. It felt like I was restarting myself again.

During the past year and a half, I have often thought that I might as well retire, travel, raise cats, play games, and spend my life happily.

But I always feel that there are still stories to be told, including Chen Ji’s story.

This story has been out of my comfort zone since the beginning of my imagination, because I really wanted to write something different from the past. Whether I can write it well is another question.

In my past creations, I often ignored logical storylines. Some storylines were too deliberate and seemed a bit embarrassing.

Be cool for the sake of fun, be passionate for the sake of being passionate, be funny for the sake of being funny, and so on.

This is a question of how the creator determines the scale. Obviously, I did very poorly in the past, and I want to try to improve this book.

People always have to make progress, even if they are tired, they cannot stop.

In my past creations, I would be too eager to advance the plot, thereby neglecting the description of details, resulting in a lack of visual sense.

Of course, everyone has seen this book, and I am also working hard to make progress. I first spent several months collecting a lot of information and constructing such a solid fantasy Los Angeles in my mind.

When writing, I try my best to immerse myself in that environment and think about what actions a character would do and what words he would say in that environment.

I'm still learning this part, I hope I can learn it faster.

In my past creations, the characters I described were somewhat opportunistic. I would spend a lot of time describing important characters, such as Shadow and He Jinqiu.

But for characters that are not that important in my creative goals, I would be too lazy to label them, resulting in insufficient description of the characters.

I don’t think about each character’s growth experience in the current era, or their own real demands.

But this is wrong.

In this book, I tried to make changes. I hope that every character in this book is vivid and bright, even Brother Pao, Er Dao, uncle and aunt who only appeared once in the early stage.

The amount of creation this time is very large. Take She Dengke and Liu Quxing as examples. Although they are just small people, I also wrote biographies for them. What family they were born in and what kind of life experience they had. Even if they are small people, they still have them.

of joys and sorrows.

There are also cloud sheep, white rabbits, golden pigs, sick tigers, and Pegasus... there are many, hundreds of them.

I want them to live in this world in a "complex" way, rather than serving my creative purpose or advancing a certain plot.

This kind of work is a lot of work, but I never tired of it while writing this book, and I really felt the fun of this way of creation.

In my past creations, I did not have a complete and clear outline, only detailed outlines.

But in this way, I actually don’t even know what kind of story I want to create and what kind of tone I want to set.

This is the biggest problem that Night’s Naming Technique and The King’s Life faces, so I returned to the creative mode of the first sequence. I first had the ending I wanted most, and then I had an outline and this story.

But there is also a problem with writing this way. As a bystander of the story, the creator knows too many things and cannot help but spoil some plots that should only appear later...

Or maybe you are too eager for that ending and hope to arrive one day earlier.

I'm slowly getting used to it, and I hope I can do better in this regard.

In my past creations, due to the special serialization method of online articles, readers had very high requirements for the amount of updates. But for this one, I want to talk to you about this issue first.

When it came to naming the night, as you all know, I was number one for a long time.

There is a kind of magic in the first place on the list. When you update 8,000 words, you will be the first one. When you update the 4,000 words, you will be the second one. When you fall to the second place, you will desperately want it.

go back.

During that time, I updated 12,000 times a day, and I felt like my whole being was sublimated...

But in fact, an author has limited energy. Once the number of updates increases, he will naturally give up control of the details, because you do not have time to review the entire story.

Therefore, since I started writing this book, I have not asked for a monthly ticket, I have not asked for collections, I have not asked for recommendations, and I have not paid attention to any lists. I hope that I can calm down and write a story worthy of myself.

I won’t deliberately show it off, I just post as much as I write every day, ensuring that the quality of my writing is acceptable to me.

Of course, if you can't write well, your level is limited. I envy those talented writers. Their stories have ups and downs and their words are gorgeous, which I can't learn no matter how much I do.

I can only learn to be myself first.

The score of this book is currently about the same as before The Naming of Night was put on the shelves, and a little higher. This is something I didn’t expect. After all, the protagonist’s life has been very bumpy and updates are slow... I would like to thank all the folks who read the book and hope that I can

This time I can write an ending worthy of myself.

Thank you all.

Thanks again.

See you in the early hours tonight, there will be another chapter in the early hours.
Chapter completed!
