How to write a novel (how does a novice author start writing a novel?)

Not much gossip, dry goods, found a common problem every day!

Let’s talk about the classification of common problem elements when newbies write novels!

1. The purpose of writing the book is not clear.

Everyone starts writing novels by reading novels!

Why write a novel? What is the purpose of writing a novel? In the final analysis, it is nothing more than making money or liking it.

For a book like this, it is because I am tired of reading those routine novels that I want to write innovative novels. My mind will spin out of control for the rest of my life!

So, when you are about to write a novel, or are already writing code words, stop and think about it, why are you writing a book? Can you keep writing a book!

(Many people found a brain hole on a whim and had the intention of writing a book, so they wrote blindly, and the ending can be imagined.)

Fulfill your preferences and make money , is every writer’s dream.

However, as a newcomer, you have to pay twice the price of ordinary people. Your code words must be fast, your writing style must be good, your brain must be novel, the plot must be smooth, you must persist when you are sick, and it is common to go to bed late and get up early, let alone break it. (That’s why there are so many eunuch authors rushing to the street). In a word, it is “quick for quick success”.

All the books in the website library are not written in a fever. The collection, writing, and application of materials all need to be prepared in advance, so Youyou.com can meet the basic requirements for writing a book.

However, the most important thing is (perseverance). In the forum, you can often see Youyou resource network with hundreds of thousands of characters. Haven’t arrived yet. Is it the right position to cut?

Damn, LOL, there is a new hero. Let’s go and help it first. Qualifying begins, Silicon updates HD resources, and more. ….

It’s all about what affects your writing. If you can’t resist the temptation, don’t write, lest you hurt the reader.

2. The outline cannot be written.

The outline is the general outline (also called “key summary”), written for others to read, and also written for yourself.

When those officials meet with the leader, what they remember is not every word the leader said, but the key points!

So is the outline important? Of course it matters! Like the steel bars in the concrete columns in the profile, it acts as a stabilizer. A high-rise building without an outline can only be built with a maximum of three floors.

Basically every editor will ask you for an outline. One, depends on what kind of story your novel tells. Second, make sure you are prepared! The third is to see if your outline has an outline.

How to write an outline, and how many words do you need to write to count as an outline?

The outline can be several tens or thousands of words.

A few sentences can summarize the outline. Tens of thousands is fine, hundreds of thousands is Li Gang!

The main function of the outline is to stabilize the focus, that is, “protagonist→main line→direction”

For example, Luffy dreamed of becoming a pirate since he was a child, and he went to sea as an adult, determined toBecome the Pirate King.

This is a simplified outline, the protagonist: Luffy, the main line: go to sea to be a pirate, the trend can also be called the goal or the ending of the pirate king.

The main function of Gang is fire support. Hard, the outline is the beginning and the end, as long as you have a bottom in your heart, the details will be much more complicated.

What is Xigang? How did you write it just now?

To put it bluntly, Xigang is the setting of the plot and characters! What is the name of the protagonist, how many women are there, what are the supporting roles, what are their abilities, what are they doing, and what else can they do? These are the conditions for the development of branch lines under the main line of the outline, which must be brewed in advance.

Elements of plot development: (that is, the plot always revolves around the characters)

For example, one of the people Luffy meets at sea is Zoro, a bounty hunter who is about to be beheaded . After some rescue, he was successfully recruited! A story is a plot.

It is known that Luffy will eventually become One Piece, and Naruto will eventually become Naruto. It is impossible to write a book without a chapter ending.

So “I have to find something for the protagonist”

As for what to find, it depends on the author’s own performance. The premise of discovering something is like the saying {where there are people, there are rivers and lakes}, which cannot be separated from people.

Therefore, Luffy was arranged to find Zoro Jobalsan and so on. In this process, people and things will definitely be encountered. This is a plot story.

For example, when the male protagonist returns home, he is molested by the celestial guest in the cloud in the name of repairing it, so he is beaten up and the hero saves the beauty. Then a potential heroine plot is developed logically, and with the help of the foreshadowing plots before and after, the situation can be overturned later.

Encounter a problem → solve the process → end the result. These three steps are the bearer of the plot!

In fact, everyone can discover new plots every day, not because of lack of stock, but because of lack of imagination!

A knife, where does it come from, what is it for, who gave it to you? A man, I’ve never met him. Why do you suddenly feel familiar with him?

On the way home, I saw a car accident, so I could write about the protagonist who died in the car accident. What is his mood, how to solve it, and what are the consequences?

These are things that can be encountered at any time, and the plot can be found at any time. As long as you are good at finding your eyes and cooperating with your mentality, you can have many code words!

For some different types of books, some outlines are really inappropriate.

The outline of the chivalry category is that ants cultivate immortality-upgrade-achieve one of the universes, or have a dream.

The outline of history is *** wire crossing-promotion-the ending is either to become the emperor, or to retire from the world.

These are almost predictable endings! So I can plan an outline, with care!

A novel about urban power, for example, has no stable contours at all. you can’t riskWith the 404 rebellion as the chairman!

(Fisherman 2: Very pure and ambiguous) I believe everyone is familiar with this book! One of the representative works of urban power, the book of gods without outline.

Because urban literature is an alternative, you live in today’s urban society and are restricted by the law of heaven.

It is impossible to fantasize about the unknown, but to fabricate some stories within the scope of one’s own tolerance.

Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong with warm wine. This is the pinched story. If you write this paragraph again, it will only make him make it better according to his appearance.

Cities are places where stories are made. If you can’t imagine the result, you can only pinch your daily life!

Pure and ambiguous, just a daily novel. After Yang Ming gained power, he pretended to be stronger than others, slapped faces, picked up girls, and fought against the black forces.

Hook up with the mistress today, do business tomorrow, upgrade your strength the day after tomorrow, get a policewoman the day after tomorrow, and then hit the killer the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, urban essays do not need to write an outline, but the mind must be flexible! If it is stupid, accumulate plot ideas and write seriously.

(How to extend the plot?)

The technique only needs to remember one sentence. Any plot extension is inseparable from three points: inevitable, accidental, and sure enough.

The importance of these three words can be said to be related to the success or failure of your novel. I don’t know, I experience it myself. ….

When you travel to a fantasy place, you must win the sky. When I grew up, I met a person who took you to X and took you to fly by chance. You might suspect what he’s up to, but then you find out he’s not a good guy, so you kill him or something.

I live on the 5th floor, stand in front of the window, and find that someone smashed your car and ran away. Even if you want to chase, you can’t catch up. When I accidentally saw someone passing by, I yelled at the top of my lungs and asked him to catch him. After interrogation, you will know that it was really sent by the enemy.

It is the same as encountering a problem → solving the process → ending the result. It’s just a different model.

As long as you figure it out, you won’t get stuck.

——One more point, if Calvin can’t continue writing, then think of other plots, and decide the previous arrangement through the latter plot.

Generally speaking, it is easy for novices to go off track or get stuck, so there is no claim! I don’t know what to do next.

My suggestion at this time is to write a plot!

Just like you go to work, you don’t know what will happen on the way to work, you just don’t know how to write. Then start by writing what happened after get off work.

(Because writing like this can often inspire your potential inspiration)

Notes for novices:

(One of the novices writes a book at the first time. It is strongly recommended to list before writing Outline and details.)

Because many people only write the first few chapters and don’t know how to continue. The typical “youyou resource network just do it with a knife, either become a fairy or play a fool”)

It doesn’t matter if you can’t think of a plot for a while, just remember one by one, and then conceive the plot in your spare time, and remember it when you have new ideas.Tired to a certain extent and then write. This is the approach I recommend because many times, you can “improve” the plot you conceived to make it even better.

So about 80% of the books submitted by Chuangshi and other big sites are rejected by eunuchs.

So, writing a book must not be rushed! Many people write one or two thousand words and then contribute.

Start anxiously waiting for recommendations, clicks, comments, rewards, emergency stops, etc.!

Then the system came, and those who were followed by editors or who could sign a contract were so happy! The ending can be imagined!

Marek Yun asked you to be his assistant secretary, you can’t even write the schedule! can you do it?

The meeting ended at nine o’clock. What’s next? I do not know. On a whim? Ok! good idea! Go, take Ma Yun to the disco!

Where are you going after skydiving? Well, think again! this is a good idea. Let’s go, try to go early in the morning. It’s cheaper to stay overnight.

Novices should pay special attention to having a planned outline is the key point, but don’t be bound by the size of the outline, that is, to use it flexibly.

3. The text is out of tune.

I explain it in historical and urban language here!

Most readers who read historical novels like history and know some historical knowledge.

To write historical novels, one must first understand history, otherwise it is better not to write historical novels.

No matter what degree of historical emptiness you have, in short, if you put it in the history column, you cannot exceed the upper limit of the reader’s history.

If history books use urban dialect (vernacular) to speak words, they will lose the characteristics of historical texts!

1. Text:

Try not to “speak vernacular” in historical novels (it feels as strange as speaking old words in urban literature).

1. Cao Cao pointed to the bearded man behind Liu Bei and asked: Mr. Xuande, is this your second brother Guan Yunchang?

2. Cao Cao pointed to the person behind Liu Bei and said: Liu Bei, is this your sworn brother Guan Yunchang?

Just compare it yourself.

For example, the Three Kingdoms: Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, rushed towards Guan Yu with lightning speed, and shouted: Guan Yu, the little thief, how dare you hit me!

Facing Lu Bu’s provocation, Guan Yu, who was already red-faced, was furious instantly, and his face was full of beards. He roared and brought me the Qinglong Yanyue Knife!

——The above text is wrong, fast as thunder (change). Take my Qinglong Yanyue knife (change) Take my knife!

The word “thunder” is now compared to speed, as fast as lightning. Use it when riding a horse. What do you use to get out of an F1 car? Thunder download?

Of course, you don’t have to change it. Novice readers don’t pick this kind of thorn.

Thunder generally refers to speed. Lv Bu single-handedly rushed into the enemy’s formation with the momentum of (thunder), and everywhere he went, there were corpses everywhere.

Thunderbolt generally refers to momentum. Lv Bu single-handedly, with the force of a thunderbolt, entered theEverywhere the enemy line goes, corpses are everywhere.

Comparing the two sentences, which lyrics are more correct and vivid?

Bring me my knife! The name of the knife is removed because it is nonsense, not to mention that Guan Yu basically knows what the name of the weapon is, and he can’t read it fluently! (I can tell you how the scholar Guan Yu holds my sword.)

Removing the name of the sword can make the plot more comfortable in terms of momentum. Don’t think that writing a knife name can add a few more words! The loss outweighs the gain.

4. The plot is extraordinary.

The highlight of this book lies in the brain hole and writing style. Most novels nowadays are imitations. The flow of power through the system of infinite flow can be described as dizzying and varied. What is the most important visibility in fiction?

I just read a book, (Back to the Three Kingdoms and become a python) went in and looked at the strange title. The full text is 1.2 million words, and it can be scanned within an hour!

The story tells that “Belin” traveled through the Three Kingdoms and became a 12-meter-long python, and then began a series of farming stories.

Build a house, make a bed, plant taro, raise birds, talk to people, and write on the ground with your tail!

Fight the beasts, curl their tails and hit them with sticks! Eat cooked food instead of raw meat, love is overflowing, and you have to peel an egg first.

There are also female pythons courting. The last group of people unified the Three Kingdoms under the leadership of a giant python that turned a dragon into a snake, invented various advanced instruments, and conquered the world!

I’m almost done crying! Such a good brain hole, just write about the animal world, and you have to fight with humans! And nine times out of ten this book is a counterfeit.

So sometimes it’s not good to have too many brains! Either the get out of class is over, or the setting is not good, many readers still can’t accept this extraordinary brain hole.

——On the other hand, (the shock of the strongest Naruto) is a relatively new brain hole, with the ability of white beard to shake fruit. Combining this brain hole with some plots of Hokage, you can really write a lot of interesting points. If someone gave the main character in a One Piece fan book the powers of Hokage, it would be possible to write a book that was just as popular.

Most people’s brains are relatively new, but they don’t have the writing style to describe, so they rush to the street, eunuch’s eunuch!

As mentioned above, it is mainly “quick for quick success”. If you don’t know how to hold a paintbrush, you have to draw Toyama Haruju. At least learn how to draw from others. So I suggest that novices learn more experience before writing the essence of Longkong Forum. (Essence Post Portal)

5. Views on advantages and disadvantages.

Many people don’t know what cool is!

The so-called cool point is to make readers think that “interesting and happy” is cool point!

It’s not revenge, murder, slap in the face, Duplo, cool!

Cool spots are not uncommon for older readers these days. For example, some famous gods always like to use divorce as a foreshadowing, and then wait for the protagonist to slap him in the face! Actually not cool at all. Just the way it’s written puts the reader in the mood, so it makes them feel good.

So you can make readers follow the story in the article to have psychological fluctuations, which shows that you have done this.

To quote Fat Cat, there are three elements of hatred.

This person has an obnoxious personality.

This man’s behavior is abhorrent.

This behavior is related to the protagonist.

What is “pull hatred to face”

In general, as I said above, the rich second generation molested cyclists in the cloud in the name of being repaired. The protagonist comes out and beats him up, is driven away, the enemy gets married, and the hatred is aroused. Then this rich second generation did all kinds of pranks, and even spent 10,000 dragon coins to buy killers and so on.

As well as the ambiguity between the protagonist and the school belle, the number one supporting actor who pursues the school belle is rejected, has a grudge against the actor, and all kinds of shady scenes.

There are many examples of using this kind of hatred to develop the plot, but this is just the hatred in the novel. The rich second generation hates the protagonist’s evil deeds, but it does not inspire readers to hate the rich second generation. So that’s what happened afterward.

So, only by arousing readers’ hatred for the rich second generation, and then slapping them in the face, can readers feel good and feel that they are doing well.

To arouse readers’ disgust for the characters, you must first prepare the groundwork! How to pave the way is the question that the author should think about!

I’m just making an analogy: For example, the female number one and the male number one (ambiguous/foreshadowing) have been in love for a long time, and they will soon enter the period of love! Men treat women very well, take care of them in every possible way, and so on.

Suddenly, the enemy came and captured the hero and heroine. The enemy was abnormal and asked the heroine to stab the hero’s stomach with a knife. Otherwise you will die.

The heroine really did it? Whip Whip ready to stab!

It’s useless for the man to tell those good memories with tears, and finally he took the knife to kill him.

Do you hate this time? Don’t grind your teeth? My heart is in the bright moon, I lost the ditch in an instant!

Reader hatred is on the rise.

Then the plot can be reversed, and it is the author’s business to change the protagonist’s face.

What is the poison point? It’s out of the conventional plot setting, the heroine is raped by others,

Driving a tank and air bomber to the Three Kingdoms! Like that, there are also books in which the Romance of the Three Kingdoms becomes a brain-hole python, and the brain-hole has become a poisonous spot before it is written!

Generally speaking, in novels, readers are not allowed to be virgins.

Assume that the heroine is played by someone else, but the protagonist loves her to death. Readers may curse you to death.

Your 20-year-old boy is in love with your 60-year-old aunt! How many people do you want to poison?

During the Qin Dynasty, passers-by stuffed gunpowder into clay pots and used them as hand grenades, blowing up hundreds of people! This is clearly intended to make the reader find fault.

Why not put gunpowder in the water tank, make a big trebuchet, and blow up the Bauhinia Flower City.

In short, those unconventional theories, unreasonable settings, beyond the logic that can be followed, readers will think it is a poisonous point!

Toxic because the author thinks beyond the reader’s logic!

6. Dialogue and perspective.

Conversation is the biggest headache for many novices. They often know how to say it, but they don’t know how to translate it into words!

So I can only write dialogues bluntly, the most common ones are classical Chinese after the previous description.

——

Song Zhe looked at Ma Rong in his arms and said, honey, we are all notorious people now. What are we doing?

Ma Rong responded disdainfully: What are you afraid of? Anyway, we can share a lot of money when we leave, so we can be anonymous.

“What if I lose the lawsuit?” Song Ze asked again!

Ma Bairong glanced at Song Zhe and said, what else can I do? Salad!

What I want to say is that Tao can be Tao, extraordinary Tao, heaven, Tao, and people! Let’s just fall all the way down.

——

Read more books by great gods. If you can’t imitate even the most basic dialogue, then don’t write it. Concentrate on studying a book!

Beginners should remember that there should not be too much dialogue in the chapter, and the dialogue should focus on the key points. Other unnecessary dialogue can be explained in the form of comments, and the effect will be better.

Errors such as the following:

Have you eaten yet? eat it! What did you eat? Shredded fish! Is there any shredded meat in the fish? don’t want! Is there any fish in the shredded meat? don’t want!

Correct comment:

Have you eaten it? eat it! What did you eat? Shredded fish! (Thinking of the fish-flavored shredded pork that I ate today, the salivation in the protagonist’s mouth is getting faster and faster. Fish-flavored pork does not mean that there is shredded meat in the fish or that there is a fishy smell in the meat. I think it myself.)

-Another point is very important:

In some cases, (don’t talk to yourself, don’t talk to yourself, don’t talk to yourself)

The enemy shoots a bullet, the protagonist dodges and says “it’s dangerous”, then throws another grenade back, kicks it back and says “handsome”.

Then a *** flew over, and the air wave power of the protagonist gave Waitai Sora a powerful movement and an “oh yeah”!

I want to say that these are pure diseases! And taking medicine doesn’t help!

There is one more important (not long-winded):

This kind of long-winded means not to write everything in detail, especially after opening a few chapters. Novices always like to have everything laid out so pretty. He can’t wait to tell how tall the protagonist is, what he looks like, what background he has, and what abilities he has. -so boring! All of these can be revealed little by little in the subsequent plot.

Just like Conan, tell the murderer from the beginning. Do you find it interesting? Didn’t Conan keep shifting his focus to A, and finally found out that the murderer belonged to C?

As for the perspective, many novices have this phenomenon. There’s a lot to say in this post, so I won’t go into details.

There is a post about experiences with perspective, worth checking out (Perspective Portal).

The main points to explain the common problems of perspective are:

Occasionally, the protagonist’s thoughts can be described. For the thoughts of other people except the protagonist, it is recommended not to describe or change the way of description!

Zombie: This bouquet is for you.

After receiving the flowers from the little zombie, I was flattered by Xiu’s name. I can’t help but think that I only received dragon coins before, but never received flowers. What a lucky thing!

Point: You can’t read minds, and you don’t know what the heroine is thinking! Are you reading this book from the perspective of the protagonist? So how do you know he’s lucky? Of course, there are also people who write about other people’s ideas, and many novice readers don’t pay attention. Basically, as long as they can read well, if they read too much, they can only taste bad. Some old drivers like to pick such thorns.

So you can only continue with what you see or feel,

When the little zombie saw the rosy face after taking the flower in the name of Xiu, he couldn’t help it Never want to kiss. (Here is the idea that men are superior to women, you can have it)

7. Speak your heart with a clear conscience.

If you don’t understand anything, you can post a question!

Many old drivers. Although some veteran drivers like to rank seniority!

But never mind! People are in the rivers and lakes. Novices should have an open mind.

Although I personally dislike those double-open or more open code writers! But I still admire them for making money so painstakingly!

A novice book writer preferably has a great goal: to make him $100 million. (San Shao of the Tang family) did it.

So double opening is just to make a small fortune and make some cigarette money. This is an even better time to focus on writing a book! If you succeed, you will be driving a Ferrari. If you fail, you still have a cigarette.

Generally, they make money by selling copyrights. Some of the best sellers are: the urban romance of fantasy fairy tales is really easy to sell!

There are very few girls in the historical workplace. So it depends on your ambition! Ha ha.

Is *** Considered by anyone who has completed at least one novel! Don’t lose your job, code words without preparation!

It is recommended that office workers save 200,000 manuscripts before submitting. Eunuch cast chapter 3 easily. People who are eager for quick success cannot do everything well.

If you don’t believe me, you can try it, even if you don’t have time to sleep, especially in winter! There will be more eunuchs.
