Description
Seeing many readers urging for updates, the author is actually as anxious as everyone else.
But the problem now is that the outline is not well written. I have written a little, but it is still far from the ideal outline planning.
It is not that you cannot write without an outline, you can write, but the most direct consequence is that it may end badly, because without an outline planning, many foreshadowings cannot be filled, and many plots will be unreasonable, which can be regarded as a bad ending.
Why is the outline not well written?
This problem can be attributed to the beginning of the book.
At the beginning, the book did not have an outline, at least not a very clear outline. When the author submitted the manuscript to the editor, he did not even know whether it could be passed or signed. After signing the contract, he did not know whether he could get recommended, have a certain exposure, and then be put on the shelves.
In this case, writing a very complete outline is a very high sunk cost for authors, and non-big authors generally do not take this approach. Because what you spend a lot of time and energy writing may be directly rejected by the editor. Even if the editor does not reject it, it may be abandoned in the new book stage because of poor performance.
Imagine writing a three-million-word outline, but it may not reach 130,000 words.
If you are an author who has at least written a book, you can also have the editor's contact information, and communicate with him directly in the early stage of writing the outline. But as a new writer, Hexie did not have the editor's contact information before this book. So there is no way to communicate with the editor, and I can only rely on my own feelings.
In short, there is still no perfect outline.
The subsequent development was quite surprising, and the book achieved relatively good results in the new book period. But at the same time, the problem of no outline has always existed. Some plots are the author's current ideas, so it is written very slowly, and there are problems with the plot.
The biggest problem is Nanzhu's plot.
This book was hit hard twice by her plot in the new book period before it was put on the shelves.
Nanzhu's plot is to cooperate with Xiaoyue's plot.
So it must be written and cannot be deleted.
If she is deleted, Xiaoyue's plot will be gone, and the book will collapse in the middle of the book.
Of course, readers who can see this are all accepting Nanzhu, and those who do not accept it can't see it now. And Xiaoyue's plot can now be said to have been written. Although the effect is not very good, mainly because the author is not good at writing, it can be regarded as saving a wave of the book from its previous downward trend.
There is a very cruel fact that the performance of this book has been declining since it was put on the shelves. From the highest average subscription of 1,700 to the current more than 1,100.
After a normal book is put on the shelves, the performance should be rising all the way. But this book has been declining. This is all invisible pressure on Hexie.
The declining performance also makes it impossible for Hexie to draw illustrations for each female protagonist. It is impossible to stay up late every day to write novels, be scolded by readers, and still put money into the novel.
Of course, the above reasons, including the problem of the performance of the novel, should all be the author's own problems, not the problems of the current readers.
Hexie is very grateful to you. For Hexie, you are Hexie's dream. It is Hexie's confidence to recognize himself and continue to write.
Here, it specifically refers to the legitimate readers who support Hexie.
For readers who get it for free, Hexie's feelings are more complicated. Hexie sincerely hopes that your life can become better, so as to give some support to the legitimate. If you can selectively support genuine products, please support more small authors on Qidian. For small authors, fame, influence, IP value, and online popularity are all non-existent. A slightly better subscription score is the most intuitive data to support their writing. It may even be the money they use to eat.
But don't worry about Hexie, Hexie is a part-time writer, so he can keep writing until now.
In fact, after the book was put on the shelves, facing the plummeting subscriptions, the editor also hinted that Hexie should start over. But Hexie refused. For Hexie, rationally thinking, starting over is a better choice, because Hexie has learned a lot of writing knowledge from this book, and the results of starting over will definitely be better. However, Hexie replied to the editor with "I want to see the scenery of a million words". The reason is that he is responsible to the readers who support this book.
Now, it's the time of a million words.
To be honest, Hexie doesn't want to end the story badly at all.
But writing without an outline is easy to end badly.
Many talented authors, I won't name them. Without an outline, they will not be able to continue writing in the later stage of a story.
This book has not reached that time yet.
But if I continue writing without an outline, it will probably be soon.
Here, after explaining the importance of the outline, there is a more cruel fact that Hexie has been thinking for several days but has not come up with the so-called "perfect outline". As mentioned above, I have written a little but it is not perfect at all.
When the author really writes the "perfect outline", it may not be known when it will be. It may be another week or even another month.
Therefore, Hexie will resume updating. Write while thinking.
However, if there is a contradiction or the foreshadowing is not buried, Hexie will put back the chapters before the modification. This is a benefit for genuine readers, because pirated websites will not modify synchronously.
Moreover, after modifying the previous chapters, the increase in the number of words will not be re-subscribed.
Of course, some unreasonable situations may inevitably occur.
If there are major unreasonable things, the author will patch them up with the readers' prompts, but let's forget about some possible small unreasonable things. I hope everyone can understand the situations that have not yet appeared. The author will also try to avoid these situations.
This book will not be too long. At least two million words is impossible.
The author estimates that it will be completed within 1.4 million words.
After the peace talks in this volume, there will be another chapter. After that, I will write free fan stories when I have time. For example, He Yunxiao's campus life.
Regarding the heroine, there is still one last one who has not appeared. In other words, there will be nine in total.
Chu Xiaoxiao, Jiang Wuyou, Du Yinyun, Fan Ziruo, Meng Qingrou, Meng Qingqian, Li Xiangjun, Nangong Yuer, and the last one.
Finally, Hexie thanks everyone for their continued support.
Hexie is not a talented writer, but Hexie thinks this is a good thing.
I hope to be humble, learn, and grow all the time.
Finally, let me talk about the updates this month. I will update as I write. I will try to restore the updates every morning next month.
