I went to a dinner party tonight and didn’t have any extra energy to type, so I just wrote some random essays.
It is similar to the rough plan earlier. The 800,000 words end the pre-war foreshadowing, and then start the official chapter of the second volume.
Although this book is rushed to the shelves in a sense, it does not have a very strict and standardized outline and details. Although it will be more organized and logical, it will also limit the spontaneity of writing.
In the first volume, which was laid out before the war, the general framework and situation have been explained.
I have also collected some more professional technical information and literature, and the preparations for the second volume are almost complete.
I have always believed that the core lies in telling stories, rather than rigidly stating and listing events, so some of the more important but boring things have been passed over, such as the introduction of aero-engine technology, the new automobile assembly base, Parameter details in the combat readiness plan, etc.
After that, descriptions of foreign countries will also increase, and only then will the perspective change from "basically focusing on the Ming Dynasty" to "mostly focusing on the Ming Dynasty".
It should be noted that other countries are easier to write about, but Germany... there is really no way. The writing and ink will be limited, and I will try to express some things in the character Chris.
As for the total length of the book, I don’t really like super-long historical articles that often have three or four million words, because they are destined to be filled with water in the later stages, and tens of thousands of words can be spent on trivial matters.
Therefore, it is expected that the main text content will be between 2 million and 2.2 million words, and the extra chapters will not be included in this list. Of course, this is only an ideal estimated word count, and it may be more, but the text is unlikely to exceed 2.5 million words.
The writing style will not change, and the proportion of various plots will continue to be the same as in the first volume. However, if the demand is relatively high, some plots can also be added appropriately, such as daily life, political struggles, war games, or... pretense It's not impossible to slap him in the face.
And what’s interesting is that I’ve been reading forums these past few days, and there are posts debating the description of female characters in online articles. Words like “cherry lips,” “fragrant shoulders,” “willow waist,” and “jade skin” are often used. I've never used them before...
Zhu Lingjing's three-dimensional painting has already been painted by an artist. The orders are so popular that the queue has only now arrived; Zhou Changfeng's three-dimensional painting will probably have to wait for a while.
Finally, I had a gastrointestinal endoscopy a few days ago, and the results were "moderate chronic non-atrophic gastritis, mild intestinal metaplasia" and "mild colitis."
It's generally fine, but I'm destined to not be able to eat spicy food in the future.
