Finish this testimonial
"I Can Extract Proficiency" is finally officially finished.
Throw flowers!
According to the convention, after finishing the book, one has to send a speech. And "I Can Extract Proficiency" took Dongliu nearly two years to write, and it is difficult to describe all the feelings in it. It is indeed necessary to send out a speech to talk about it with everyone.
.
In fact, generally speaking, this book is Dongliu's first novel that has really achieved results in his writing career. Dongliu naturally has deep feelings for it. Through this writing process, Dongliu has grown a lot.
, even the growth gained in this book exceeds the sum of all previous works. Because only when a book has enough readers, can we get more feedback from readers, and we can summarize experiences and lessons from it.
.
And in terms of the length of the novel, "Proficiency" is also the longest book Dongliu has written in his writing career, with a total word count of nearly 5 million.
During the proficiency writing process, Dongliu always had a nervous heart and was cautious in everything, trying to avoid all the poisonous points that he could be aware of, and trying to dig out all the cool points that could be found. While writing, he was groping,
Cross the river by feeling for the stones.
But as the number of words increases, the most fundamental problems of this book are also exposed.
No outline!
At the beginning of writing, Dongliu basically had a sudden inspiration and wrote a satisfactory beginning, and then followed this feeling and kept writing. Immersed in this writing state, the writing in the early and middle stages was still good.
It went relatively smoothly, and the control of the plot and the creation of characters also made some progress compared to before. However, because there was no outline, in the later stages, the plot and characters became a little overwhelming.
To give a simple example, as the protagonist's strength continues to improve, there are fewer and fewer things to write about, and there are fewer and fewer chores to play. After all, the character of Ye Weiming is a relatively "pragmatic" character.
"People like to use their brains very much, but they never waste their brains on problems that can be solved with a sword.
Especially after 4 million words, a good upgrade article was turned into an invincible article by me. There is no one among the players who can challenge the protagonist head-on. There is not even such a combination. Later.
As for the plot, the protagonist can only fight wits and courage with those old NPC monsters, which is quite painful, but the story that should be written has not been finished, and what should be explained has not been clearly explained, so I can only bite the bullet and continue writing.
Go down.
This is a lesson! It made me fully realize the importance of a complete outline.
No wonder many great masters often need a month or two, or even longer, to prepare each time they open a book.
It turns out that to ensure the quality of the book, it does take a lot of time to make preliminary preparations.
This time, Dongliu’s new book will also take a longer time to prepare.
As for time...
Probably, a month?
Originally, I planned to wait until this book was finished, take a good rest for a few days, and then prepare for the new book.
But when the work was finished, I felt a sense of loss.
rest?
Take a rest!
I still owe more than 800 chapters to the boss in the pot! The production team's donkeys haven't rested, so what right do I have to rest?
We must prepare as soon as possible, make enough preparations, and start the book early.
Only in this way can we neither regret wasting our years nor be ashamed of doing nothing!
Chapter completed!
