Volume Six Summary & Takes a Day Off as Usual
I wrote this volume very hard.
On one hand, the book started to wrap up in the middle and late stages, and it was not so free.
On the other hand, this volume left me too little time to think. There was an outline, but the specific plot details were added while writing. Thinking about the plot while writing was very inefficient. Almost every day I finished work in the early morning, and after writing, my head was dizzy, and there was no time to carefully ponder the plot.
Of course, there is another reason. I have to admit, I am a bit tired of writing... It's probably because I don't have much perseverance. Within three months, I can maintain high fighting spirit and passion, but after a long time, the enthusiasm will fade. Plus, the data is not growing much, the supply of chicken blood is insufficient, and the spirit begins to fall back.
Every day is very tiring, and even the things I feel I wrote are not quite up to expectations, lower than the level of the previous volumes, and my mood will be low.
Under the two-way cycle, the writing state of this volume is imaginable.
Once or twice I even thought, why not just post the plot outline below and take a break for two months.
But I know this is the norm of the bottleneck period. This is "half of the hundred miles is ninety." To do most difficult things, one will experience such a stage. If you step over it, you will enter a new realm and come to a new world. If you can't step over it, you need to re-accumulate and sprint again.
I have failed many times, and this time I want to continue to persist.
Do you know how I made myself continue writing when I wrote the hardest?
It's not "the reader is waiting, must serve dishes," nor is it the dream of becoming a god. Actually, it is to lower my expectations of myself.
"You are just a small, ordinary writer, don't always think about doing big god-level work."
"Writing a book is just to make a living, don't think of it as so sacred."
"If it's watery, let it be watery. This is the best you can do."
Recognize your own abilities, don't have too high expectations for yourself, and then finish the work. Write what should be written first, even if it's drawing a tiger that turns into a dog, at least it's drawn.
I said in the book that "pursuing perfection is an obsession that needs to be overcome." I actually feel deeply about this sentence myself and agree with it deeply.
Completion is more important than perfection. Abandoning the obsession of doing things to one hundred points at once is the only way to continue doing it.
Okay, the reasons are finished.
Next is summary time.
Structurally, in this volume, I basically have a small plot every ten chapters or so, and the whole thing is promoting the development of the big plot, with no extra side plots, which is still compact.
But this way of promotion is different from the previous volumes, the overall coordination is insufficient, and there are even situations where I forgot to bury foreshadowing while writing.
At the same time, the rise, development, turn, and conclusion of each small plot are relatively direct, lacking ups and downs. This is because the details were not done well due to lack of time. Sometimes the accumulation of emotions is not very in place, and sometimes it lacks explosive points. Therefore, this volume is not as smooth as the previous volumes. Sometimes it is a bit dry, and sometimes it may make everyone feel watery.
Lack of experience, and without internalizing the story rhythm into instinct, there is not enough time, and no energy to carefully polish it, so it will appear relatively rough.
However, I probably still have some clues, and I might make some progress in the future.
In terms of characters, Dumbledore played a villain in this volume. He is very depressed in this volume, and the reasons have been explained in the book. The death of Sirius and the death of Dumbledore were actually written in the outline at the beginning of this volume. These two characters both died in the original work, and their deaths are actually related to their own positioning. Sirius's character has a kind of reckless adventure and disregard for death, while Dumbledore lived in a state of "no self." They are actually tragic characters to a certain extent, and the ending of death is destined.
However, Sirius's death is used to promote Harry's blackening, and his blackening will be useful later, so Sirius had to die. But I couldn't bear to let Dumbledore die in the end.
Then at the end of the fifth volume, I thought about trying to write some emotional scenes, so I had some interaction with the Empress. I was quite restrained, basically within the scope of the plot—even making the Empress look like a tool person. But it shouldn't be annoying.
The following plot will be very "big," involving larger spatial and temporal dimensions. Actually, I am not very sure, after all, I don't have this experience, but I will try my best to do my best.
Finally, thank you to the friends who have always supported me, thank you for your reading.
Oh, almost forgot, take a day off.
I have the outline for the next volume, but I haven't thought about the plot carefully. Please ask the God of Drama to inspire me and give me some good ideas. Namo Amitabha, Amen.
Love you guys, see you the day after tomorrow, mwah.
