I complained first, and inexplicably reminded me that there was something wrong with the content. I changed all the places I could change, which wasted my two hours... The result was still not possible! There was no way, so I had to post it one by one.

Let me give you a suggestion: Can you give me some questions and let me know where to change? It is a waste of time.

The new author Yu Jianzhai has been reading books online for more than six years and has been bored in writing in his spare time. He has joined several authors. After staying for a long time, he has seen the new author's pain in his life and struggled desperately but is still confused. He has thought a lot in his mind for a moment, and some words are really like a thorn in his throat, and he will not be happy if he doesn't vomit.

Azhai has read many posts, which talk about how to sign, list, and make money. It is not very important and educational, but I feel that the most important point is not mentioned.

If a book wants to become a divine book, the key is: whether your novel is telling a [wonderful story].

Especially today, more and more books can be read online, more and more books have been read, and the taste has become more and more picky, and the requirements are getting higher and higher, if a good book wants to make a name for itself and become a masterpiece that attracts thousands of people, it depends on whether this book tells another [wonderful story].

All the authors and brothers who applied for signing and contracting but failed, let me tell you why your novel failed, because your works are one reason - some are not good enough, while others are too bad!

[Complaint 1]: There are many typos, the sentences are not smooth and bad!

Azhai was writing a book for the first time, but he was unsure. He added several groups to learn writing experience from his colleagues. But apart from the complaints of these new authors, no one would focus on how to improve his writing level. It seemed that he was like Shakespeare's reincarnation, and he kept criticizing "It's hard for newcomers to make a name for themselves", "There is insider on the Internet", "The online editor is too awesome", "Why don't I sign and contract my works?", "Why do I recommend works so badly, but I don't recommend my works?"...

I especially remember that in a group, a new author, who swears "How difficult it is for newcomers to make a name for themselves" and "How good is your own book", but I can't sign a contract, how difficult it is to get confused online, how blind the online editor...

When Azhai wrote a book for the first time, his passionate emotions were poured into cold water. He went to read this guy's masterpiece with a learning attitude... I'll go - you M, is this called a novel? What is this a joke? If you can sign a contract, the editors on the Internet will be crazy. In the first paragraph, I saw 6 or 7 typos in less than 100 words. After reading the first chapter patiently, I couldn't stand it anymore...

Azhai believes that this guy must be a special case. I will go and see other guys who complain, maybe other people’s works are really buried. The result-

As a result, Azhai decided to come here to make a complete complaint.

Azhai emphasized here: If a person wants to go crazy, let him read novels that have written hundreds of thousands of words online but have not signed a contract yet!

If you don’t sign a contract online, let’s first look at what kind of book you wrote!

[Tucao 2]: Your novel has not been revised? You dare to upload it if you don’t read it after writing it?

Please, brother, can we not be embarrassed? Do you really think that you are Ni Kuang, and no one is allowed to modify it after writing it? What are you doing? After writing Ni Kuang's novels, you have reviewed them several times before you dare to give them to the newspaper? Do you feel sad about the typos in your works?

Hemingway said: All the first drafts are stinky—dog—shit—!

Don’t ask me who is Hemingway, and don’t say that you are better than Hemingway!

I have seen a masterpiece by a new author: the protagonist was framed and the protagonist's wife shouted loudly and shrillly: "Labor, labor..." I'm going to you. Although almost every woman wants to use "husband" as a "labor", day and night, on and off the bed... But you don't have to just position it like this, right? You can't even distinguish between "husband" and "labor". How can you let readers support you?

The biggest difference between online writing and physical writing is that the online author does not have an editor who is responsible for the review work. If it is a newspaper, you have to pass several people to write an article. First, you will read it several times when you make an appointment with the editor. The teachers in the review department will review it more than three times, and each time it is a different person responsible. The review must be stamped with your own seal, and you must be responsible for the errors.

But who is responsible for the works of the Internet author? It can only be yourself.

If you are confused and do not read the things you wrote twice or modify them three times, you are not responsible for yourself and even irresponsible to the readers. You can even say that you are despising the readers. Do you think the level of the readers is worthy of your typos?

If you look down on readers, don’t blame the readers for not giving you support, let alone editing your book online!!!

It is recommended: read your work a few times, change it, and don’t say anything else. You must have a smooth sentence and reduce typos. Otherwise, it will affect the most basic reading pleasure.

[Complaint 3]: You didn’t write an outline, but you rely on inspiration to write? Who will fail if you don’t miss it?

It doesn't matter if a newcomer writes a little immature article. Readers have enough sympathy to forgive these small flaws, but as long as the conception is clever, the plot is attractive, and the use of conflicts and suspense is good, the book will still be popular.

Some people write without writing an outline, and the story has no end, all depends on a little inspiration at the beginning. After 100,000 words, the protagonist will die or live, and they are in a terrible sense. Such an author will lose his idea of ​​signing and contracting as soon as possible to avoid being scolded... Looking at the works that failed after signing and contracting in Qidian, more than half of them are because they have no outline. After writing more than 100,000 words, they will be unable to continue, and the subscriptions are bleak, and the end will be disappointing!

There must be an outline!!! Don’t believe some people bragging about you, saying that you are awesome, and you don’t need to write an outline. Such people pretend to be B. Either the work is terrible, or the story outline has long been in your head.

Question: What should I do if I really can’t write an outline?

Suggestion: Do you understand the six elements of narrative writing? Time, place, character, cause, process, and result.

There is always a protagonist, right? First, make the protagonist full, and then think about whether the protagonist has any dreams. Are there any obstacles to fulfilling this dream? With dreams and obstacles, this is the most basic conflict. Then add a final result. This is a brief outline. Causes, process, and results, and work together.

If this cannot be understood by you, then you can treat the protagonist's upgrade and evolution route as the main line. It is impossible for a protagonist to start the novel, but it will still be like this until the end.

No matter how you divide the upgrade system, what foundation building, Nascent Soul, God Transformation, etc., this promotion route can be a good main line.

Your protagonist's dream is to be powerful.

So you can arrange for each upgrade of the protagonist, what stories happen, what difficulties you encounter, who you have conflicts with, who you have conflicts with, who you eventually kill, what power you get, what treasure you get...

This kind of conception and arrangement can be made at every level. This is what "The Legend of Mortals Cultivating Immortals" is like...

Question: I have an outline, but it is easy to deviate from the outline as I write. What should I do if I go off topic?

Suggestion: Find a main line that must be completed, and classify it by time. At a certain time period, the protagonist must do this, otherwise the consequences will be serious. For example, your protagonist must do something at a limited time and place, otherwise it will fail and even cause death.

For example, in Azhai's short work "Jin Yong's unique skills rampant in another world", there is such a main line of auxiliary lines, which is the Shenwu Continental Sect Competition (similar to the world's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference). From county, county, state, final, etc.... there are fixed time and place, as well as characters participating. This line is based on time. No matter how I run around outside the main story, when the time comes, the protagonist must come back to participate in the competition. In this way, the story will not be overdue.

[Complaint 4]: Character: You must remember who the protagonist is. The supporting role is also a person, and you must also have your own personality.

After reading an online novel, most readers will completely forget the plot described in the book, but they will definitely remember a character with a distinct personality.

Azhai believes that characters are the soul of a novel.

If you can't describe your protagonist and important supporting roles in detail, you won't write a fascinating work.

In a novel, the description of characters must be based on the main and secondary, and the main and secondary are clear. Is this kind of admonition very familiar? Is it so callous? But, it’s so funny that most people will still make this mistake.

I have read the works of a new author. In Chapter 1 and 2, a character around the protagonist was introduced in detail. The protagonist himself and the background settings were basically not written. Then in Chapter 3, the character that the author focused on was lost, and the name was never mentioned again... C, I realized that this person emphasized was not an important character in the story, but a passerby. Why are you a passerby introducing so many things? The readers' attention has gone astrayed with you.

suggestion:

1. Your protagonist must have a strong desire, and this strong desire must resonate with the readers.

2. Your protagonist must have a task to complete, and this task should be interesting to readers.

3. Your protagonist must solve this task himself. Don’t write it halfway. When everyone is worried, the task will become silent and disappear... This is the pit that is never filled in in the legend... It will be criticized!

4. When writing supporting roles, don’t take up too much space. Your protagonist cannot leave the reader’s sight for too long.

5. Your protagonist must have a powerful opponent and cannot wander around for no reason. Heroes rely on the enemy to achieve success.

6. It is best for your protagonist not to do stupid things, such as provoking a peerless master for no reason and then winning for no reason. It looks quite good, but the second B is unprecedented. Whenever I see such an unprecedented stupid protagonist, I want to find the author and kick him up between his legs, so that his ancestors will be the eighteen generations.

Some people wonder, aren’t the same routine for online cool articles? They are all the protagonists who play pigs and eat tigers, then magically reverse, and finally win. The words are good, but the minimum conditions must be, that is, rationality.

You can make this peerless master have a grudge against the protagonist and let this peerless master hinder the protagonist's dream, but it must be reasonable, there must be conflicts, and you cannot force it. Too many new writers are not rational or too far-fetched when setting up such exciting points. The protagonist written in this way will become a super idiot in the eyes of readers. Which reader will waste his time and money to pay attention to it for a idiot?

Suggestion: Online articles must be fun and must defeat the strong. There is no doubt that this is true. However, you must take into account rationality. Your protagonist cannot do even a fool's thing at once. If the protagonist does a fool's thing, his image will be ruined. No one wants to read the story of a fool.

way:

1. It is best for the protagonist to only do things that only in life, and not do stupid things. Don’t worry that such a protagonist is not attractive, because the protagonist wants to do things that ordinary people cannot do, but this kind of thing is best done by the protagonist’s opponent, rather than the protagonist takes the initiative to do it. Therefore, the opponent is very important.

2. You can let a fool follow the protagonist as a supporting role. He will do stupid things, and the protagonist has to wipe his butt.

Question: Do your protagonist or supporting role have no personality?

After reading many novels, Azhai not only wants to complain about some of the supporting roles in it, including the famous masters on the Internet. The supporting roles you wrote are too unindividual, right? The plot is similar, the same thing said, and the result is the same... Taking the work of a master as an example, I won't click on the specific name. The immortal hero always clicks on a certain work on the top of the list. Although the work was very good in the early stage, after QY, there were several paragraphs that made people crazy. The protagonist encountered a provocative supporting role (this is available in any novel. The cool thing is how arrogant the supporting role is, how much he looks down on the protagonist, but

Later, he was beaten by the protagonist... This is the pleasure of most online novels.) But this novel is really amazing. When the protagonist escapes, these supporting characters take turns to play, and they are stronger each time. But the depressing thing is not here, but the supporting characters who come every time are idiots. For example, the protagonist is only level 1, and the person who comes is a little stronger, such as level 2, and then betrayed by the protagonist, and the protagonist is promoted to level 2... The first time, it is completely OK to write this way. Then the drama comes, the hostile force of the protagonist, like a super idiot, sent another level 2 master, and then was abused,

The protagonist is upgraded, and then sent a level 3 expert, and is abused again. The protagonist is upgraded to level 3, and then sent a level 4 expert, and is abused again. The protagonist is upgraded to level 4... Every time the supporting role is an arrogant idiot, and the lines are the same, and the protagonist is always pretending to be B unprecedentedly... With such a routine, this so-called great god actually wrote hundreds of thousands of words. A similar scene, a different protagonist pretends to be pig, a different supporting role fool pretends to be tiger, a same character line, the same result! Oh my god, I can't help but ask, you are going crazy! You treat readers as vain

Are you fooling around? The plot has changed a little, is it good? Can the character portrayal be different? Can you die with each of them have some characteristics? At least, can you tell him not to say something to someone in language? Why? They are all cloned? Supporting role A laughs wildly; supporting role B laughs wildly; supporting role C laughs wildly... Laughing at you M? Your supporting role A is stupid B, will your supporting role B be stuttering? Supporting role C is mute? Is it the same thing to use? Is it so much that I admire you and want to beat you up?

Azhai said one more thing, he would not write about how to let the protagonist pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Go and see Wangyu's "The Legend of Mortals in Cultivation of Immortals". The plot is seriously repeated from beginning to end, and it is all about pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. But why can this work attract your attention and why are there so many people following it? The answer is very simple: the plot changes, changes... and the supporting characters are portrayed brilliantly, and the characters are vivid, making you feel in person, and there is no sense of repetition from the characters to the plot.

It is obvious that all the formulas are used, but the things written are different.

I once again complained about the so-called masterpiece on the fairy tale list. Your supporting role is a person from beginning to end, just a arrogant and arrogant guy. I really want to vomit. If I hadn't praised you online, you would have missed a long time ago.

Suggestion: Character substitution method. To put it bluntly, it means substituting characters you are familiar with into your story. Imagine how the character you are familiar with will react in this situation.

This familiar character can be your father, your mother, your uncle, your uncle, your neighbor of your second aunt next door... or your classmate, your teacher, your community security guard, your favorite actor role...

For example, if you want to describe a story in a tavern, a waiter serves your character, accidentally overturns the food and dirtyes your character's clothes, how will your character react at this time? If you like the character Ximen Chuxue, you can substitute it into your story and imagine how he reacts in this situation?

Ximen Chuxue's face was as cold as frost, and the waiter was nervous. Ximen got up and went back to the room without saying a word. When the waiter was full of doubts, a silver light flashed at the corner of his eyes, and a ingot of silver had been embedded in the wine table.

"A set of white clothes will be delivered to my room!"

As the voice lingers, there is no trace of people in front of you.

The waiter's cold sweat came out at this moment.

There is no way, Ximen Chuxue is so cold and so cool.

What if Guo Jing is here?

I'm afraid that the young Guo Jing will become even more terrified than the waiter?

"It's okay, don't worry, don't worry, I don't take any big deal..." After saying that, I took out a small piece of silver from my arms and stuffed it into the waiter's hand. "I'll bother this young man, and buy the food quickly again. I, my brother, may be very hungry..."

There is no way, Guo Jing is so loyal and honest, thinking about others.

What if it were Zhang Fei and Zhang San?

This ancestor even wanted to set a fire in Kongming's backyard. What would happen? I'm afraid I'd like to stare at the corner of my eyes and knock down a few big teeth with my mouth...

No matter when and where, it is a way to reveal the character of the characters you write at any time. Your protagonist can be stereotyped, but the supporting roles should still be diversified. The story that readers want to read is not the same plot. You can just change the name and location of the supporting role.

The same thing, don’t treat readers as fools!

Online [Tucao 5] What is a good novel? The plot, plot, or the plot

Newcomers, don’t focus on the background setting, but focus on the plot.

Can't build suspense? There is no conflict? Then are you writing a novel or an account book?

I have seen many masterpieces, some win because of the background setting, and some win because of the protagonist's distinct personality... But I want to say, if you are a newcomer, don't put all your efforts into the background setting, and you should tell a good story with your heart. Otherwise, you may have good grades in the early stage, but in the end, because the plot is not attractive, most readers will still be lost.

Most of the readers who were lost at this time were really willing to spend money to read novels. What you attracted in the early stage were just some tickets that were unwilling to spend or had no money to spend.
