It’s over…
Take a deep breath.
From the time I typed the first word of this book, I never thought that I could write two million words in one and a half years, which is short or long.
From being full of passion at the beginning, to wanting to give up, to finally gritting my teeth and persevering, I finally finished writing a complete story.
I have always thought that I am a person who gives up easily, no matter what I do, but I never thought that I could persist in writing a book for such a long time.
Two million words may not seem long, but it is definitely an explanation for myself.
Starting from today, I will no longer be a writer, but like everyone, I will become a reader again.
Read a book together, experience the stories of the characters in the book, and experience the world in the book together.
The biggest gain from writing this journey is probably that I have met a group of like-minded friends. We are all people who persist in writing books. Even if the results are not good or average, we still persist.
The reason is simple, because of love.
Each of us has a story we want to tell. Even if the story is boring or cliché, it is still the story we want.
And of course, lovely readers.
There was a slight improvement in the performance of this book when it first appeared on the shelves, but the ending was actually not satisfactory. The reason was that I thought too much and my writing skills were too poor, and I couldn't take it back after writing.
This is a common problem among newcomers, and it is difficult to avoid. They always lay out too much, and forget about it after writing it down.
In the end, fortunately, there was only one carrot and one hole. I just wrote it a few days ago and filled it in today, so that these foreshadowings would not be buried for too long.
But there is also growth along the way.
In fact, if you think about it, if a person writes two million words and makes no progress, then you really don’t know what you are writing.
Talking about the book, my favorite character is actually not the protagonist, but Song Bufan.
There is a feeling that if God abandons me, I would rather become a devil.
Long before the book was started, before the character of the protagonist was even thought out, the character Song Bufan was born.
I have written some short stories under the name Song Bufan before, but I have never given him an ending. Now I have given him an ending.
Even though this ending leads to death, I still feel that this is the most suitable ending for him.
If he continues to live, he will be very tired. Death is a relief for him.
I have already thought about it since the beginning of the book. No one who deserves to die will survive, and no one who deserves to live will die.
Just like the ending of Qin Qinglin, I actually also wondered whether it would be more tragic to write Qin Qinglin to death, but I quickly rejected my own idea. For such a character, it is better to be alive than dead.
As long as he is alive, everything is still possible.
Just like the way Qian Qingxuan left at the end of the book.
Although she returned the land deed, she did not necessarily go to those people with that piece of paper. Maybe she would really listen to the old man, let go of her hatred, and live well. As long as she knew that person was still alive, it would be enough. .
Maybe she'll do that.
Because we are always who we are.
From the beginning to the end, these characters are who they are.
There is also the protagonist Gu Xiaotian, a young man full of chivalry. He has grown up slowly from a small boy and has seen many lives and deaths along the way. From his initial anger to his later habits, they all mark him. growth.
Now, he is able to stand alone, but he still prefers his old life, so he still chooses his old way of living.
When you grow up, you don’t actually need to change anything.
The saying that the rich help the world while the poor take care of themselves makes sense, but I don't think it is necessary to do so.
But more often than not, living your own life is better than anything else.
Unfortunately, the journey I wrote for them has come to an end here, but their journey continues.
…
…
Talking about books, I have a characteristic when writing books. When I am in a good state, I am willing to write more. When I have no inspiration, I also force myself to write more. I will not stop until the little thing in my mind is completely gone. Pen.
This is also the reason why I have been keeping up with the updates. The main reason is to save manuscripts and brag about myself.
At the very least, these archives can last me a while when I don’t have so much inspiration.
As for the discontinuation of updates after the completion, that is not unexpected, because I have to think a lot, and I always feel that it is not good to write this way, and it is not good to write that way.
Therefore, I have been procrastinating, and the completed story has a total of 40,000 words. Although it is very short, it definitely gives everyone an explanation.
As for the book, sometimes the writing ends in an anticlimax, and sometimes I like to talk about some big ideas, such as having a meal, it seems that it is really just a meal and some chatting over drinks.
This is indeed the case when young writers are suffering from illness. They can't help but want to write about these things, and they don't want to write about vulgar things because they are boring.
I hope that you who are lucky enough to see this can calm down a little in this impetuous world and read this book. Maybe you will agree with me. Even if there is only one person, it is enough for me.
I don't care what the book's evaluation is, it doesn't matter if you say it's bad, as long as I think it's good, then it's good.
If a writer can't please himself, how can he please others?
I never claim to be an author. More often than not, I like to call myself a writer. What I write is a story, and I want to share with you some of my little truths.
Then, talk about future plans.
As for whether I will continue writing, this matter is yet to be determined.
It’s the same old saying.
The rivers and lakes are huge, and we have traveled a lot, and we will always see each other again.
I have just written the beginning of my new book, which is still about fairy tales. In fact, I have thought about trying some different styles, such as imagination, urban and other light-hearted writing. But as I kept writing, I found that I still have a certain interest in fairy tales. A different kind of emotion.
I can reveal the idea of the new book in advance. I want to write a pure fairy tale, which is still a world of high martial arts and low mystery, spreading horizontally.
The protagonist is a savage who lives in the mountains. He was sent down the mountain to become a son-in-law. After that, he grew up step by step on the road of rivers and lakes, claiming to be the most romantic man in the world.
I will still be a literary person. I know this road is difficult, but I love it, so I will never look back.
It’s still my previous goal.
What I want to write about will not be about the grievances and resentments in the world, or the love and affection between characters.
What I want to write about is always the characters’ feelings about their family and country.
I want to write about some bad people who are bad to the core. I want to write about people who disagree at a node and end up taking different paths. They are not bad to the core, they just have different standpoints.
With my next book, I hope I can make some money, at least a little more than I made with this book.
Okay, let’s stop here.
It still ends with my original sentence.
In reality, I am a nobody in a big city.
In the book, they are big shots in the small world!
Everyone, see you soon!
Believe it!
The three-foot green blade is still in hand, and the martial arts warrior will never die!

That’s it!
