The book "Wood Sculpture" was uploaded on July 1, 2020. It happened to be my birthday. It was very commemorative. I wanted to ask for a good omen. Then it went through 11 months. Today is June 2021. Ended on the 2nd, a total of more than 1.5 million words.
Writing this book, to be honest, taught me more than the book "Return File" because it exposed many shortcomings and shortcomings. During this period, I did not conceal each other. I have been using my slightly pale brushstrokes. Desperately saving.
First of all, this combination of Cthulhu, SCP, and the traditional and weird way of writing, I feel good about myself when I conceived it, but after I really started writing, I found it very difficult.
It is difficult to grasp that while maintaining the mystery, but also having a bizarre and necessary horror atmosphere, this is difficult to grasp. It may be because of my lack of writing skills. In short, I feel that it is difficult to grasp it in the later stage.
There was a deviation in the direction of some plots in the early stage. In order not to waste my efforts, I made major changes to the plots in the early stage, which I did not expect.
I also admire the energy to do so.
Because of the inaccuracy of the plot and rhythm, the results on the day of the release were not good. The first order of 26,000 collected less than 700, and the collection ratio was 40:1. I was stunned on the spot.
This is a far cry from the results of "Return" when it was first released!
I feel that the book has collapsed and my mood has been hit hard. After communicating with the editor-in-chief Ziliang, my mood has improved a little. Besides, I may have a strong feeling, so I don't want to admit my fate.
After being put on the shelves, I worked hard for a month, shortened the rest time, and kept the update of at least 6,000 words every day after get off work.
In that month, the daily bookings increased at a rate of about fifty, and soon passed fifteen thousand, and then two thousand...
With the arrival of recommendations, "Wood Carving" has once again entered the boutique.
Thank you for your support and thank you for not giving up!
However, I feel that the foundation of "Wood Carving" is still very poor. Whether it is the plot or the rhythm, whether it is the outline or the story, I have been constantly reflecting and improving, and I have never stopped.
The strength of the pen is part of the reason. The things I want to write can't be written at the height that I expected. In some places, I used too much force, but in some places I was pale and weak.
The hurried opening of the book without preparation is another part of the reason, which I will pay attention to and improve in the future.
In the final ending, all the pits that should be filled are filled, and the things that should be explained are also explained. In the follow-up, Shen Xing will cooperate with the void magic face Junze, and it is inevitable to get "He", but this kind of plot really does not need to continue.
Writing stories of this kind of water plot is also a kind of torture for myself.
Because the later period has deviated from the weird, bizarre and bizarre writing method I defined for "Wood Carving", it is really unnecessary to write it down.
Talk about the new book.
The editor-in-chief reminded that "Wood Carving" was about to end at that time, so I was going to participate in an essay event held at the starting point.
The new book prepared is also a story that makes you determined to choose to read only during the day. Of course, you can also read it at night, but whether you can sleep after reading it depends on your guts.
Because in the process of preparing this new book, while coding, I have been looking back at the door of my study from time to time to see if there is a dark figure standing there watching me.
This kind of scalp numb and creepy feeling has not appeared for a long time, and happiness alone is not as good as everyone's happiness. I hope it can also bring you "happiness"!
[The evil character in the book suddenly came to reality, there is only one reason...
"I found out that you seem to write me to death!"]
The new book is expected to be released a week later, and some adjustments are needed.
Thank you readers, thank you for your company and support along the way! Love you (づ￣3￣)づ╭～(End of this chapter)
