During this period of time, Huodong has been thinking about how to write a science and technology novel? To be honest, I didn't have much experience before. Writing this book was also very difficult, and searching for information was a pain in the ass. Readers who have read the book will know that many of the technologies mentioned in the book are not fantasy, but are supported by scientific and technological theories, and some of them are even being gradually realized in the process of writing the book!
Some people may feel that the number of words in the completed book is a bit short, and they can continue writing. Yes, there are still many technologies that can be written about. Biotechnology, aerospace, marine technology, new energy, etc. can indeed be written about.
During this period, I checked a lot, from literature to documentaries, and my understanding of some technologies has gradually improved. But I did not choose to continue, because I believe that this book is first and foremost a novel, and secondly a black technology novel.
From the perspective of the novel, I read it several times and found many problems. Let’s not mention some clichéd plots in the early stage. When it approached one million words, the plot became a bit boring. It changed from a novel to popular science knowledge, losing the characters, losing the tension of the plot, and losing the exciting game.
If I continue writing, it will further reduce the level of excitement and turn it into a mere pile of words. I don’t want that. It’s better to finish the book now.
Why is this happening? Huodong thought a lot and found that the main reasons were writing ability, experience and outline design.
In the past, the editor asked me to pay attention to the outline, but I didn't care much. Now it seems that the editor is indeed experienced. Secondly, the lack of experience leads to the lack of freshness of the plot.
During this time, I began to read news materials, published literature and other channels on a large scale to gain some knowledge, and found that there are more interesting and wonderful stories to write. Unfortunately, the overall structure of this book has been finalized, and it is difficult to add more. .
Writing skills naturally need to be improved... The above are some reflections. Next, Huodong would like to express my sincere thanks to the readers and editors who have accompanied me during this year.
I am already familiar with the IDs of many readers, and I feel ashamed that I failed to satisfy you in terms of updates and plot. I am sorry.
Because I was not well-prepared, when I wrote about some areas, I knew nothing about it. I needed to read the information again before I could start writing. As a result, there were problems with the plot design and it was not exciting enough. I will try to avoid this mistake in the future.
In short, a novel will be completed, but the story will never end. A new chapter will continue to open. I hope that we can still see each other's names in the future.
Without further ado, Huodong is here to wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance and good luck in the Year of the Pig!
