Chapter 408
I am going through a struggle, a struggle in writing.
In the recent past, or in the past two months—let's say, some things and ideas in writing that I have believed and held firm have shaken.
The first thing that shakes me up is how exactly should I write a story. In other words, how can I win the favor of more readers. This is a very naive question, but almost all writers are looking for it.
As I wrote this book, I made some changes, first of all in terms of settings. Because this novel is an adaptation of the game, I began to pay attention to setting things, such as the world view, such as the world frame ... I was like an architect, I drew a box for myself, and then filled in these boxes thing.
But after writing it, I was a little confused myself—I wrote very hard and the speed kept declining, and I started to think that this way of writing seemed not suitable for me—although it was applicable to many authors.
Actually, I've never been the author of setting streams, upgrading, setting, frameworks, these never seem to be good at me.
I feel more and more powerless lately-this feeling makes me feel bad.
how to say?
It's like I'm a magician and I have a rabbit in my hat, but I just can't pull it out for everyone to see.
In fact, there are two types of writing lines in this circle: set flow and plot flow. I used to focus on the latter, and in this book I started to focus on the framework. However, this attempt seemed smooth in the early days, and it has become more and more difficult to write recently.
I found that I made a big mistake: Of course, I don't set the two routes of flow and plot flow, which are better or worse. There is no difference between these two routes. The mistake I made was: I want to take into account too much.
I want to please more readers. I want to please those readers whose tastes are more focused on setting. However, while trying hard, I seem to have lost some of my original good things. Then I discovered this. When I started to make up for it, I found it helpless: I couldn't do both of these two different things at the same time.
I have finally figured something out in the past two days.
My previous mistake was that when I tried to balance the two, it turned out to be stupid: I couldn't do both at the same time. Because any author has his own expertise, as well as his own. It's stupid to have to do something that you are not good at and lose what you are good at!
After struggling for more than 48 hours, at five in the morning today, I was suddenly happy, I stood in the bathroom in the bedroom, stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself.
I said to myself, "Hey! I am who I am, I write what I want to write, that's it!"
That's right.
That's it!
I wrote this thing, and I want to say to you that dancing is back. From this month, real dancing is back, because I no longer hesitate. I will do what I am good at, as I ’ve done. Go write.
