Chapter 44

When it ended in May, I kept thinking about what I should write.

Many friends told me that continuing to write urban is definitely the safest, because I still have some popularity in this category.

But in fact, that is the choice I resist the most.

I have been writing urban for many years, and now I have touched my personal ceiling; I think continuing to write will not have any progress.

Because I gave all my passion to Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu, and exhausted my heart and blood.

Writing another one is just frying a plate of cold rice, continuing to consume them, consuming the people and things everyone likes.

But in my heart, those stories belong to Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu, and I don't want to put the head of one person on the body of another.

After all, Feng Nanshu's influence on me is too great, so much so that even after the book was finished, I have been thinking about her.

I know, if I write a similar story, in a similar worldview, then there will still be her shadow in my heart.

I don't want to repeat a similar story, don't want to stay in the comfort zone until I'm outdated, and be slowly forgotten by everyone.

So, I chose another category, Xianxia.

Actually, I write Xianxia not as everyone feels, for copyright, or for greater benefits; in the final analysis, I am seeking a breakthrough.

I want to try multi-perspective, no longer limiting the story to the protagonist, but adding a line that wanders outside the main perspective.

To put it bluntly, when I wrote the last book, I always felt that only when Jiang Qin moved would the world move, and if he didn't move, it would be a piece of stillness.

I was thinking, can I write that when the protagonist moves, the world is actually moving too.

Some things may not happen because of the protagonist, but in fact, all things are operating, and finally gather into a huge context, pointing to a final goal.

And the reason why I have this idea is actually because I discovered my shortcomings in the last book.

I am not very good at dealing with multi-perspective problems.

For example, in the last book, the story of Young Master Cao and Ding Xue was actually designed quite sweetly by me, but because I have been writing along the protagonist's perspective, their story could not be smoothly inserted into the main line, and in the end, it could only be put into the extra.

And Zhuang Chen, I always wanted to give him an ending for the main plot, but it didn't fit in either.

The plot of Zhang Guangfa's family's fruit backlog was also written in one stroke.

I found that I only seem to know how to write the protagonist's story, which makes me feel panic.

So I know I am still very tender, not yet home, and need to continue to cultivate.

I decided that like the period when I just graduated, I would force myself to do one thing every week that I originally felt uninterested in.

So I chose Xianxia.

When writing this book, it was very difficult, I was extremely dissatisfied with myself, so much so that one chapter might be written three times, and there are currently tens of thousands of waste drafts in the draft box.

Before writing the part of Kuangcheng's high school, some readers said how can there be results overnight; actually, it's because I deleted the three chapters of the protagonist going out to work, but forgot to modify the time.

And, at the beginning, Old Qiu originally had a monologue of kneeling and begging for help, to highlight the contrast between life and death, but in the end, it was also deleted by me.

In fact, until today, I have been constantly modifying the previous text.

I didn't think about what kind of results I would write before opening the book, nor did I think it would be liked by everyone like the last book.

But it is very important to me.

Because I am torturing myself, looking for a different path.

I said in an interview before that I am not a talented person; I wrote for ten years, six of which were in the street.

So all I can do is fly first as a stupid bird, write what I am not good at, let these things I am not good at expose my shortcomings, and then go to correct them.

Writing books is my main job; I have no other work, nor other identities, so I have no way out.

So I cherish every book of mine, cherish every opportunity of mine.

I don't want the ship of the new era to leave me behind.

So no matter what the results are, I will write well.

Because I know, what doesn't kill me will eventually make me stronger.

This is to respond to everyone's confusion about my changing categories, as well as a brief summary of the current story plot, and also to thank everyone for not leaving.

Finally, as usual, seeking monthly tickets, seeking follow-reads; for Old Cuo in the new book period, these data are still very important... or2
