How to write a novel?
There are now more than 60 thousand authors at the beginning of the introduction. It is not difficult for a newcomer to break out of the encirclement of the 60,000 "enemies" and become a first-line author and a "great god" among others, but it is not impossible. As long as he is willing to work hard and find the right method, it is extremely possible. Whether the newcomers work hard or not is beyond our control, but as a starting editor, a senior reader and an old author, I can still provide many writing skills, update secrets and even cheat. Next, I will be divided into two parts: the way to be king and the way to be mysterious, and tell the story of the new person's way to become a god. Among them, Wang Dao describes how to effectively improve the quality of works, which is also the basis of everything else. If there is no work to shoot, then no matter how it is packaged and publicized, the popularity gained is false and short-lived. Only by writing a good book can we retain readers and establish a position in the circle. Sophisticated articles focus on updating skills, advertising, fawning on immortals, using the masses, fawning on editors, etc., all available resources, available means, and even some ulterior motives. The reason why abstruse articles are abstruse is that they were born on the basis of kingly way. If the quality of the work is poor, no matter what tricks are used, you can only get minimal benefits, which will not only make you a real god, but also cause harm to long-term development. However, it is only a matter of time before a newcomer can become a god if he has moderate creative strength, uses reasonable means, tries his best to package his works and publicize them in place, plus the accumulation of time. The following contents are aimed at newcomers who have a little social experience, can express their ideas fluently and are not familiar with the starting point. If you are a completely inexperienced kindergarten child, please grow up quickly and read this article after finishing middle school; If you are too familiar with the composition to write fluent sentences, then I suggest you keep a diary for a few months, or find a friend of the opposite sex and write hundreds of love letters. I believe that the writing level will be enough then; And if you are already an old author, you can skip the following basic introductions. Write what? As an author, before writing a book, we must first make clear what we want to write and what we hope to achieve. This goal is not necessarily how many clicks and recommendations there are at the starting point, how many collections and subscriptions there are, but also whether it can be published, what prize it can win, and whether it can be immortal ... or, the goal can also be to make yourself happy and give yourself an outlet ... After determining the goal, we must firmly go in the direction of the goal. It's no problem to write and say "go back on your word" and set new goals. But if you look around while writing, you obviously want to write what you want to write, but you still expect to make money, or a business novel, but the author insists on adding personal preferences and just wants to be happy, in this case, basically there will be no good result. Here, I must make it clear that this article is aimed at the author whose starting point is to make money. If you set other goals, that's fine. The starting point welcomes such an author, but this article is not suitable for you. And if you focus on money, then reading this article carefully, I believe it will help you. 2 What books can make money Since we have set the goal of making money, we must first know what kind of books can make money. Here, let me first give a seemingly irresponsible answer: readers can only make money by reading their favorite books. Maybe someone will say, isn't this bullshit? Indeed, this sentence is nonsense anyway, but in fact, it will be easier to analyze the problem in another way. So, what kind of books do readers like to read? Before answering this question, we must first make it clear that the readers mentioned here are only online readers, only first-time users, especially first-time vip members. There are many works, such as the works of beautiful women, which will be miserable at first, but obviously, such works are not unloved and have great market space. However, the intersection between its readers and the initial users is relatively small, which leads to the bleak popularity of such works from the beginning. As a starting editor, I should say, let's all write this kind of topic with great market value but unpopular at the starting point. Let's make this cake together, so that the starting point will be developed and you will benefit ... but, from a personal standpoint, as an author, I have to tell my friends secretly, or be selfish. Let's leave this groundbreaking feat to others. We only write about popular themes. What? Having said that, what is the starting point that readers like? In fact, this is nothing more than the following two points: first, vivid and interesting stories, bizarre and tortuous plots; Second, let readers have a strong sense of substitution, which is refreshing. Among them, the second point is more important and dominant, which is actually the so-called psychosexuality, YY for short. Some authors believe that a good-looking book can attract readers by making the protagonist do what readers want to do but can't. This statement has some truth, but it is not complete. For example, the protagonist of a book won the first place in the class, which surprised and envied the students. Such a plot will refresh me, but it is not impossible when I get the first place in the exam, which does not hinder my reading pleasure. So I think the focus of that sentence should be "want to do", and the key is to make readers want to do it. Whether they can do it in reality will have a certain influence, but it is only a secondary position. A good YY work must first be a work with a strong sense of substitution. Only when readers regard the protagonist as themselves can they feel more breathless when the protagonist is humiliated and feel more refreshed when the protagonist is proud. The YY spirit embodied in the works can play its role to the maximum extent, so that readers can get the greatest pleasure in reading. On the contrary, many works, although it seems that the protagonist is also very lucky and his strength has soared, do not have that refreshing feeling to read, largely because the protagonist's sense of substitution is not strong enough. The declining traditional martial arts novels are a good example. In this kind of works, the protagonist is often handsome, stunted, attracted by beautiful women, able to anger and punish bullies. The protagonist is generally not bad luck, and upgrading is commonplace ... It is reasonable to say that there are so many YY elements, and it is difficult for the work not to be red, but in fact, the decline of traditional martial arts is a well-known reality. Investigate the reason. The protagonists of this kind of works were born in ancient times, and their thoughts and behaviors are completely out of touch with modern times. It is difficult for people to imagine themselves as the protagonists of the story. Therefore, no matter how cool the protagonist in the book is, readers will feel less relaxed outside the book. Of course, there are other reasons for the decline of Wushu, which will be mentioned below. So, how can we enhance the sense of substitution? This requires some skills, and for newcomers, the simplest and easiest thing to do is to avoid involving elements that will affect the sense of substitution, not to describe the details of some irrelevant topics of the characters in too much detail, but to be as vague as possible. Once I saw a post on the forum, the landlord asked the height of the protagonist in the work, and the reply from an old author at the bottom was very classic-"One person is tall". At first glance, this is a nonsense answer, but in fact, it is deeply in line with the essence of YY. No matter how high or short the protagonist writes, it will make another part of readers feel that it is inconsistent with themselves and irreplaceable. But a simple and universal "one person is tall" is a panacea setting, and readers can imagine the protagonist as their own and substitute it well. If you can't understand this, you can speak more clearly. At first, the mainstream readers of books were men in their teens and twenties, especially students. So for newcomers, it is easier to set the protagonist like this, a young student in modern society, or a rookie looking for a job. Moreover, the gender must be male. If a woman is the protagonist, a middle-aged uncle is the protagonist, or all kinds of strange things are the protagonists, such as cats and dogs, saplings and small stones, 99% of these works will be good people, mainly because of the lack of sense of substitution. The easiest way to solve this problem is to change the protagonist. If you want to write about a woman, rely on her boyfriend and take his boyfriend as the protagonist.
