Chapter 534: Two Million Words
Two million words.
Two million words.
After two million words!
Nine months of time.
It feels like a fleeting moment, as if it were just when the book was opened.
To be honest, for Jiudeng, two million words is not actually a particularly emotional thing; several books have exceeded two million words.
Looking at the word count of the discarded drafts, this book, including the discarded drafts and some chapters, has reached 2.3 million words.
Nine months, 2.3 million words; in Qidian, it's not particularly diligent, but it should be considered okay.
In the past two years, since the child was born, Jiudeng has truly understood the saying: "Write books while you are young."
Past thirty, with elderly parents and young children, one's energy is pulled by many family matters and trifles.
Over the past two years, Jiudeng has completed a fulfilling life.
Past thirty, married and established, bought a house, finished the renovation, just waiting for the ventilation to finish before moving in, with both a son and a daughter.
Before the age of thirty, one lives for oneself, carefree and happy; the protagonists in books all possess an extra measure of dashing spirit.
After thirty, one lives for the family.
Many times, when Jiudeng is conceiving some plot points, he thinks about whether they can be more reasonable. This is brought about by aging. For writing books, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the story logic is as online as possible; the disadvantage is that many times the plot is not "cool" enough.
For example, the original outline had many refreshing plot points, but as I wrote, I changed some of them.
Take the previous book as an example: the protagonist runs away. In my conception, having offended a major force, running away must mean being chased all the way, having to hide, taking care of logic, and not being able to change to a new place and immediately encounter a group of unfamiliar new forces.
Therefore, while writing, Jiudeng also watches some fast-paced literature to keep himself young and keep his blood hot.
Thank you all for your support along the way. Without saying anything else, this book will probably end in about a million words. I will strive to finish it this year.
Wishing everyone a happy September, and by the way, asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket.
