Invade the World - ~ closing remarks

  Hi everyone, I am Dream of A Clockwork Orange.

The last chapter doesn’t seem to have any real sense of the finale emotionally, that’s because the finale of this book is in the “Final Chapter: Goodbye, Goodbye!”, and I put all the feelings of “everything is over” in those chapters The concentrated expression is finished, and the following new world chapter is a side story.

The main purpose of the extra chapters is to take care of everyone’s thoughts, and to present the worldview and setting of the book more completely, including Xu Xiangyang’s past and the source of his abilities, God, Shakong, and the third divine medium “Tiantong”. As I write, I seem to be back on the track of writing about the protagonists’ daily lives... (laughs)

  However, there is no feast that never ends, so let’s stop here.

  Next is the closing speech.

When I was serializing, I always thought that there would definitely be a lot of things to say when the book was finished, but when it was really approaching, I seemed to have nothing to say. What I want to do now is to sleep with my head covered after work After all, I have to work tomorrow, and I have to prepare new books non-stop...

Friends in the group and those who have been chasing books may know that during the process of writing "Invasion of the World", my life has undergone major changes, from living at home after graduation to working in other cities; My personal routine is originally to play games besides writing. It is nothing more than the change of the venue from home to a rental house. The impact of this aspect is actually not too great. I feel that I am still the same person two years ago.

  But the world is not static for me, especially when my eyes are always on the imaginary world—

Since I put my energy into different forms of creation, I have been training, and what I can perceive is that my writing ability is constantly improving, and the level shown in each book is objectively undoubtedly It is stronger than the previous work (aside from the addiction to different types, old readers should have some experience).

The so-called "ability" includes not only the control of the text, but also such as how to tell the story more clearly and smoothly (grasp the rhythm), understand the likes and dislikes of the audience more accurately and in-depth, and how to guide readers Basic skills such as "sense of accomplishment" and "sense of exhilaration" and so on are things that need to be learned and perfected.

I hope to continue my progress in the next book. The goal is to form a writing methodology that is effective in business and satisfying myself; I always think that the most important step for a creator of popular literature is It is the formation of its own style.

On another level, I don't like "copying myself", especially when it comes to setting types and characters: for example, if I try a martial arts or immortality story with an ancient background, it will be difficult to read the next book. Write something with the same background again; if you write about a girl with a certain character, you will consciously avoid it next time.

Concentrating on the same type, of course, is a magnificent road to the road of style. In this process, not only the accumulation of materials, but also the level of story construction will become more and more proficient, and it will be easier to accumulate in the crowd and reputation of the readership. …

  Unfortunately, my personality does not allow this; and precisely because of this personality, a set of core methodology, a method of self-flow is needed.

   Fortunately, there is no shortage of successful examples of writers like me in the industry. Please also look at this small awkwardness with as gentle eyes as possible.

  …

  ...It seems to say a lot of things that have nothing to do with this book. Of course, I want to obtain some kind of proof, or the desire to improve is true, but it is also true that I feel "nothing to say" at the moment:

  I always feel that I have put everything I want to say in the story.

   Friends in the group may know that I was emotionally unstable more than a year ago, that is, half a year before I worked, and often emo late at night. On the one hand, it is affected by evaluation and grades, and on the other hand, it is also because I project too many emotions into it, so my creative state is very unhealthy.

In fact, this kind of excessive emotional investment has largely reversed the direction of the work: when the story reached the middle stage, I realized that my original outline had begun to get too big, which affected the current creative rhythm and achievements. It can even be said to drive people away a bit. But I am still reluctant to say goodbye to the people in my mind. I hope that nothing will change. Every time I get along, I can slow down and slow down. The result is that I grit my teeth and stick to the original direction until the end. When the dust settled, he let out a long sigh of relief.

  In addition, there are some things that can be said now: the two heroines in the story do have prototypes in reality. Sometimes, I was alone in the middle of the night typing on the screen, and I even felt that person jumped out of memories and stories, whispering to me in my ears and in front of me; as for Xu Xiangyang, he is my ideal. The child in my life, he would always hide in his eyes and talk to me.

  This experience is certainly amazing, but unfortunately, it is destined not to be repeated and experienced for a long time.

  So, I made up my mind to say goodbye to it.

   It's like at the end of the story, everyone is saying goodbye to their youth career.

Therefore, no matter what level I can go to in the future, "Invasion of the World" will be a special work for me, and I am afraid it will only be written once. In the future, even if I will improve my skills, some Things are still irreplaceable.

  …

  … Maybe there will be a second time? It's better not to talk too much (laughs), after all, my creative career is still long.

In the past half a year, I have written seven or eight beginnings, and more than a hundred thousand words of manuscripts (so that the update of this book has been dragged down), but I have never been able to determine the direction of the new book, even until I wrote this When I was given a testimonial, I was still hesitating how to choose.

  I have too many, too many worlds to share with my readers, too many, too many stories to tell, I am only troubled by the lack of time and energy, and want to start impatiently.

   Then friends, let’s see you in the next book!
