Happy New Year everyone! All the best!
First of all, I wish you a happy Year of the Tiger, all your wishes come true, and the new year will be prosperous and powerful!
Then I will take this opportunity to talk about my current situation and the main issues of this book.
The original idea of this book is actually relatively simple. I think that the plot of the richest man is in the urban context, and there is actually a lot of content that cannot be written, so I want to change the background and try some higher-level excitement, such as the war between chaebols or a plot that may happen in an extreme context that is more bizarre than reality.
But I think the most wrong thing is that I write too quickly and have not prepared enough. I should not open a book seamlessly. I should have at least half a year off.
This may be because when the richest man finished the book, my creative state had a tendency to reflect on my mind, so I felt good about myself and felt that the new book could be written smoothly and quickly. So at that time, I wrote more than 10,000 words a day, which was too much for me.
But looking back, I found that because I was writing too impatiently, many of the worldview settings I designed had already buried the content and the excitement points, but in the end I did not write the effect I wanted, so that the entire creative rhythm became chaotic and I fell into a confusion.
Then one month after it was released, due to the accumulation of long-term fatigue, there were frequent minor problems, especially after two days of fever, I found that my physical and mental state had fallen into long-term depression, and suddenly entered a long-term creative trough.
Of course, this subject itself has problems. For example, some content may still have the risk of touching the line, or because this extreme setting is more out of reality, it is not down-to-earth, etc., and the writing is not smooth.
Also, because it is relatively homogeneous with the richest man, I found that many of the richest man used contents are not used in this book, nor are they used. If they are not used, it is equivalent to repeating them. If they are not used, the plot requires some similar content, which is very confusing.
The combination of various reasons makes me very painful and confused about writing.
So I think I should stop, reflect on my past creations, and think about how I should write and what I should write.
I never think I am a very good author. Sometimes I write good works, but maybe it just happened to be because of my good luck.
I often tell myself that being able to make a book is the highest preparation for your life to create, and that you must accept that no book you write in the future will be more likely than this book.
Sometimes I feel guilty because I can't do everything that many authors write is excellent. I have a lot of ideas in my mind, but maybe 99% of them are rubbish and readers support them because of trust, but I find that what I write is far from what I originally expected, which makes me feel very distressed.
So, looking back on my years as an online writer and those few successful and most failed works, I think I should reflect on it and make some changes.
The richest man finished his work smoothly, and I am more fortunate that, at least the trough period of my creative state did not affect its end. I think I should give up my original model and make some new efforts and attempts seriously and down-to-earth.
At present, I will spend some time organizing this book, picking a few plots I liked in the outline at first, and then stringing them together with the outline. The main reason is that I was a little anxious at the beginning, the plot is a bit crooked, and it is basically impossible to turn it back. It is considered an outline escape, so that everyone can see the whole story as much as possible.
It is unlikely that I can finish writing all of them. The main reason is that I can’t write something cool and can’t write something fun, let alone make readers feel fun.
This book was originally intended to stop in the comfort zone and organize it, but unexpectedly it was not comfortable at all, but it was very painful.
So after that, I want to go out of my comfort zone and try some new things. I am preparing for the new book, and I may post it after the Spring Festival holiday. Everyone doesn’t have to look forward to it. Anyway, it may still be not well written. But no matter what, I will try hard and carefully write every chapter and every plot, and never make the same mistake again. If I make it, I will make new mistakes.
Chapter completed!
