"The Fake Traveler" has finally been completed. Here is a summary with certain historical significance. ??From uploading in December 2012 to today, the novel has been serialized for a total of 628 days, with a total word count of 5.56 million words, and an average of 8,850 words per day. This update speed can only be considered average. Of course, what we pay attention to is the update quality. Among all the novels I have written, "The Fake Traveler" has the most gorgeous writing, the most distinctive characterization, the most twists and turns of the plot, the grandest setting, the most novel creativity, and the most rhythmic plot. It¡¯s great. It has the strongest sense of involvement, the most subscriptions, the editors are the most optimistic about it, and even the readers¡¯ evaluations are the highest. It can be said that "The Fake Traveler" is the most perfect of all the works I have ever written, bar none. ??Well, actually I have only written one novel in total. The truth is always so cruel. ?¡ ?No one succeeds casually. Before writing "The Fake Traveler", I knew almost nothing about the creation of online novels, so it was very reasonable that this novel would be a hit. ??From the beginning, this novel was positioned as a writing practice, and I wanted to use it to understand and learn some knowledge about novel creation. During the writing process, I also consciously made some new attempts. Although it is an urban novel, it contains relatively complex elements. "The element of "travel" alone, whether it is physical travel, soul travel, traveling to the past, traveling to the future, or forward travel, reverse travel, travel to another world, multiple travels, etc., almost all forms of time travel have been written about. These are all intentionally arranged, different elements. It represents different plot modes and will have different writing methods. It is precisely because the elements are relatively complex. This makes the novel impure, with major plot twists and detours, seriously damaging the sense of immersion. In fact, the early results of "Fake Traveler" were not bad. If Tang Xiaosheng kept the routine plot of picking up girls, stepping on people, acting, making money, and showing off in the city, the results of this novel would be at least three or four times better than now. However, in the end I decided to try something based on my own ideas. As a writer. It is difficult to truly understand some things without trying them yourself. Even if it is a wrong attempt, you will only have a deeper understanding after trying it. Therefore, I deliberately shortened the looping plot in the early stage of "Fake Traveler". About 300,000 words have been written about the plot of Xiao Longnu after time travel; about 200,000 words have been written about the plot of Xiao Huangrong after time travel; about 100,000 words have been written about the plot of Zhao Min after time travel; and later Wang Yuyan, Ren Yingying, Dongfang Bubai, Bai Xiaoxiao The number of words in the story of , Xiaoqian and others after traveling through time is getting less and less, and they are all less than 100,000 words. This is why I did this. Just to quickly enter the plot of the little girl. ??Judging from the structure of the entire novel, the main plot begins only after entering the plot of the little girl. When it was written that Tang Xiaosheng traveled back to Baiyang Village 20 years ago to find the little girl, and uncovered the mystery of the little girl and the time-travel mystery, many book friends left messages in the book review area, and most book friends were positive about the setting of the little girl. That was the most active period for book friends during the serialization of the novel. ????????????????????? However, when I started writing the story about the little girl, it was actually the time when the subscription price of the novel was the worst. In just a few days, about 40% of the 24-hour subscription dropped. The magnitude of the drop made me tremble. There aren¡¯t many subscriptions to begin with. A sudden drop of 40% almost cost half my life. From the perspective of commercial novels. It was possible to finish the book at that time, because the subscription had already dropped to rubbish, and more importantly, it would definitely continue to drop. Because writing about a little girl is just the starting point of the entire "super-logical" plot. Everything has just begun. Millions of words of plot will be used later to explain the concept of super-logic. The fluctuations and turns in the plot are getting bigger and bigger each time. It may be foreseeable , subscriptions will inevitably continue to drop. So, I really considered finishing the book at that time. When I wrote about Tang Xiaosheng and the beauties retreating to Guangmingding, I originally wanted to end it. If it ends at that point, the structure of the novel is also very complete. However, in the end, there was one thing that made me decide to continue writing, and that was the concept of "super logic", because this is a very suitable structure for telling a love story. Tang Xiaosheng created the little girl, and the little girl in turn created Tang Xiaosheng. They created each other and fell in love with each other, and the whole world exists because of their love. This is a story worth sharing. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to write it down. So, after Tang Xiaosheng returned to seclusion, I dug the hole of Gan Jiumei, then dug the hole of Wei Xiaobao, Yin Zhiping, Huo Xing and the prophecy book, and then entered "Westward Journey" to completely integrate the "super logical" structure Deduced through the plot. By the time I finished writing this episode, my novel subscriptions had dropped to the point where they were almost negligible. When writing about Tang Xiaosheng and the little girl in "Big Girl"When I was watching the reunion plot of "Journey to the West", I had the idea of ??finishing the book for the second time. Of course, everyone now knows that the novel was not completed in the end. Later, the time and space of Earth 13 was drawn out, and more than 2 million words were written. At that time, I decided to continue to persevere, mainly because of an exploratory mentality and a desire to explore unknown writing areas. When a novel reaches its end, when there seems to be nothing left to write about, it is actually the most suitable and most interesting writing state for practicing writing. Under this writing condition of limited skills, as long as you bite the bullet and keep writing, every additional plot you write is a challenge and test of your own limits. This kind of attempt is very meaningful, because only by trying to make some breakthroughs will you be more likely to enter new fields instead of staying still. It is easier to discover new things by walking on a road that you have not traveled before, walking on a road that seems to have no road. Of course, another possibility of doing this is that the novel will be turned into rubbish, and the possibility of being thrown out of the street is very high. In fact, writers with better grades are less likely to dare to make such risky attempts because the cost is too high. For a writer whose average bookings are 30,000 yuan, if his average bookings drop to 5,000 yuan due to a new attempt, he may even be tempted to jump off the building. And for street writers like me. The total subscription is only 50, no matter how you drop it. The most it can drop is 0, which means it only drops 50 in total. The pressure is obviously much less. Therefore, fighting on the street has the advantage of fighting on the street. Only when you are desperate can you have the courage and opportunity to try something new. With this mentality, I pulled out the plot of the time and space of Earth 13 to see what else I could write. What else can you write when you no longer know what to write? This is a very interesting question in itself. This way of forcing myself to rack my brains and write hard. It consumes quite a lot of brain cells. When writing the time and space of Earth 13, I consumed several times more brain power than all previous plots. Especially when writing about several serial scams between Lao Hei, Mickey Mouse and Tang Xiaosheng, a lot of foreshadowing was needed. As a result, after finally setting up the foreshadowing, it happened to be a period of harmony, and there were some things that were originally planned. I can¡¯t write the plot anymore. It must be abandoned. Most of the original layout or foreshadowing can no longer be used. The structure of the scam must be built completely and the foreshadowing must be found again. Many of the foreshadowings of the plot during that period were not laid out in advance, but were completed by me later. I was forced to almost vomit blood. Although this experience caused a heavy loss of brain cells, it is still very worthwhile overall. It will make people realize again and again what is meant by "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and there is another village." Many dead ends are not really without a road, it¡¯s just that no one takes them. To discover new things. Sometimes you have to compete with yourself. From a creative perspective, this is a writing method that is very helpful for writers to improve their creative thinking. It¡¯s not just crafting a story, it¡¯s exploring the story itself through the story. If "Fake Traveler" had done better and the manuscript fee could reach half of the salary of an ordinary bricklayer, the novel would not have been completed so quickly, because the setting of this novel itself is very suitable for exploring the plot mode. Keep exploring. There will definitely be a lot of new gains from reading 10 million words. "It's a pity that the subscription fee for the novel is only about one-fifth of the salary of a dishwashing aunt in an ordinary hotel. On the one hand, the manuscript fee is low, and on the other hand, the writer easily loses his sensitivity to the plot. When subscriptions hover between 40 and 50 for a year, it¡¯s easy for writers to become numb. Because no matter how the plot is written and how much time is spent on conceiving it, the number of subscriptions fluctuates in the range of 40 to 50, and the writer cannot tell whether the plot is good or bad based on it. If this situation continues for too long, the writer will not only fail to achieve the goal of practicing writing, but also easily fall into misunderstandings. This is the case for "Fake Traveler". For a long time, the 24-hour subscription has been hovering between 40 and 50. The results are quite stable, and 90% of the subscriptions are automatic subscriptions. I once suspected that these book friends who automatically subscribed may have forgotten to cancel their subscription. Because the subscription is so stable, after a chapter that I have racked my brains to code every day is uploaded, the various data of the novel are calm, the clouds are calm, the wind is light, and it is deathly quiet. There is almost no feedback from readers, and it feels like It's like playing a stand-alone game, as if you were writing and reading it yourself. As time goes by, novels will become more and more self-written, and this kind of writing method not only cannot cure depression, but also tends to make depression more and more serious. Therefore, after careful consideration, I decided to complete the book. ¡ The decision to finish the book was made three months ago, but when I wrote the ending today, I was still not used to it. To put it mildly, it's a bit reluctant. Although the results of the novel are not ideal, I spent a lot of time and energy on this novel. From December 10, 2012 to today, during the 628 days, I spent an average of more than 10 hours a day on this novel. While eating, before going to bed, while going out, while walking, while shopping, while riding in the car, while taking a shower As long as I have free time, I almost think about the plot and characters in the novel, even when I go to the bathroom. The plot of the novel. In fact, many of the inspirations for "Fake Traveler" came up in the bathroom. For normal people, even lovers, I am afraid they will not think about their lover every day, day and night, even when they go to the bathroom, and then think about it for two years in a row, even on holidays. If such a person really exists in real life, he is definitely not a lover, but a pervert suffering from mental illness. Unfortunately, novel writers are basically this kind of pervert. They spend more time on the characters in their novels than their lovers. The characters in "The Impostor" have been in my mind for two years, and now the novel suddenly ends. Somewhat uncomfortable. Especially when I thought about not being able to write plots about Xiao Huang Rong being cute again, my thoughts suddenly became unreasonable. I was originally planning to postpone "Fake Traveler" for another month or two. While writing old books, I¡¯m imagining new ones. However, after actual operation, I found that double-editing is really not something people do. Switching back and forth between the plots of the two books will give me a sense of schizophrenia, and my thinking can easily become confused. More importantly, when it was conceived, it could not be integrated into the plot of the new book. Hard to get into the play. If you don¡¯t get out of "Fake Traveler" first, it will be difficult to enter the world of new books. So, I finally decided to finish the book this month. ?¡ ?As for new books, I have been considering them since the end of last year, and now I have a total of three themes in hand. There are three themes that I really want to write about, so it¡¯s a bit hard to choose. After repeated consideration, I finally chose to write about a subject that "I will continue to write even if I get frustrated." Although this idea of ????choosing a subject is quite shocking. But rationally speaking, it should be a wiser choice. Writing online novels is a very cruel profession. The market is constantly changing, and readers¡¯ tastes are constantly changing. Once writers can¡¯t keep up, they will be eliminated. And if you move too fast, you also run the risk of falling off the street. Therefore, even a famous writer cannot guarantee that his next book will not be a blockbuster, let alone a blockbuster writer. Writers can only do their best to prepare. Then prepare for the worst. During the two years of writing "The Fake Traveler", I read some articles about novel creation. There are about 3,000 articles, and I finally have a preliminary understanding of novel writing. On the surface, the novel seems very simple, just telling a story, but the knowledge inside is really broad and profound, and there are so many things that need to be learned, researched and explored. If possible, I might prefer to concentrate on research for five or ten years before starting to write novels. But this is obviously unrealistic. People always have to eat, so they can only study and research while coding, and earn some living expenses on the way. The creative process itself is a process of exploration. Therefore, the theme I chose for my new book is an exploratory one. Simply put, it is still about practicing writing. In the past two years, I have gained some new views on novels, and I will try to express them through stories in my new book. If the new book ends up being sold out, at least it has been a meaningful attempt and I won¡¯t feel regretful. The theme of the new book is urban. As for the specific content, I won¡¯t go into details here because it would be useless. Tens of thousands of words have been written on the outline of the new book, and the framework has been released. However, I am not the only one who has the final say on this matter. Before the new book is published, it needs to be reviewed by the editor and his opinions are sought. The editor is much more professional than me, and he may give revision suggestions. At that time, he will probably have to change some ideas. Therefore, it is a bit too early for me to preview the content of the novel. Only after communicating with the editor can the novel be truly finalized. If all goes well, the new book will be uploaded in late September or early October. Of course, this is just an estimate and actual conditions may change. Two years ago, when I submitted the manuscript for "Fake Time Traveler", there were too many problems in the novel and it did not meet the contract standards. So I kept revising and submitting the manuscript again and again. When the editor resigned, there was still no manuscript. By signing. Later, I changed editors and continued to submit my manuscript. It took three more submissions before it was finally approved. The whole submission process lasted seven months and thirteen days, and took more than half a year. I wrote a total of eighteen chapters at the beginning of the novel, and the scrapped manuscript exceeded 800,000 words. I hope this sad submission story will not happen again with a new book In short, when I feel ready and the editor thinks it is passed, the new book will be uploaded. Want to know the actual facts of the new book???Dynamic, you can join the "Fake Traveler" Q-Q group. I will notify you in the group after the new book is uploaded. Q-Q group number: 4288799 After the new book is uploaded, all book friends are welcome to support it. Of course, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t support me. I will definitely not let Xiao Huang Rong wear a pale human skin mask and dress up as a female ghost in white to sneak into your room in the middle of the night to scare you. You can rest assured about this. ?¡ ?Finally, I would like to take the opportunity of finishing the novel to thank some people. First of all, thank you all book friends for your support. Forget about the pretentious words, thousands of words can be condensed into two words - [After the new book is uploaded, remember to cast a few recommendation votes. ¡¿ second. Thanks to my editors, including my former editor Jelly and my former editor Blue Elf. The former editor-in-chief of Thirteen and the current editor-in-chief of Expedition. In two years, there have been a total of four editors. They made indelible contributions to "Fake Traveler" at different times. Some helped to provide opinions, some helped to sign contracts, some helped to recommend, and some helped to revise. Harmonized chapter titles. Third, I would like to thank Xiao Huang Rong for helping me while I was stuck. Xiao Huangrong often helped me come up with plots and provided me with selfless help. ?¡ Since we have talked about Xiao Huang Rong, let Xiao Huang Rong finally say goodbye to everyone on behalf of all the staff of "Fake Traveler" and all the characters in the novel! "Okay, Ronger, stop hiding. I know you're hiding in a dark corner. Come out and say a few words to everyone." "Hehe!" In the corner, little Huang Rong's little head stretched out, white and tender. He waved his little hand and said, "Hi, hello everyone, I'm Ronger!" "Rong'er. Long time no see. What have you been doing lately?" "I've been chatting with dad, Ya Meng, Zi Wen, Da Long'er, and Xiang recently. "Er, Minmin and the others are traveling in the "Jurassic" time and space together," Xiao Huang Rong said excitedly, "There are many dinosaurs there. Xiang'er and I raised a Tyrannosaurus rex together, hehe." "Rong'er." . I heard that during the time of "The Legend of White Snake", you once swam in Hangzhou West Lake. "No, this is fake news!" "So you didn't wear a bikini?" Did Ji-Ni swim in the West Lake? " "Of course not." Xiao Huangrong twitched her nose like a bell, "I was wearing a one-piece swimsuit at the time." "Mars, you gave it to me yesterday. I have already read the outline of his new book." At this time, Xiao Huang Rong said. "Really? What do Rong'er think of my new book?" "It's okay." Xiao Huang Rong pouted, "The new book is better than "The Fake Traveler". I watched the sky last night, counted with my fingers, and found that The royalties for your new book should reach the salary of an ordinary bricklayer. I would be satisfied if the royalties for your new book can reach the salary of an ordinary restaurant dishwasher. "Mars, don't be so discouraged. You should be more confident." , I think you are better than the dishwashing aunt in the hotel," Xiao Huang Rong encouraged, "I will help you come up with the plot of the new book. If you bite the bullet, the manuscript fee for the new book may be twice as much as the dishwashing aunt's salary. "I'm a little excited to hear you say that. With Ronger's blessing, I'll treat Ronger to dinner when the royalties for the new book are paid." "What are you going to eat?" Xiao Huangrong's big eyes flashed. "You can eat anything, you can choose Chinese or Western food." "What Western food?" Xiao Huang Rong asked curiously, "Is it the McDonald's classic McSpicy Chicken Leg Burger value lunch, which costs 15 yuan a portion?" "Of course not. The Western food is grilled teriyaki chicken legs with rice + mushroom soup, which costs 24 yuan a portion." "Oh. The roasted chicken legs are good." "Okay, Ronger, "Don't worry, let's get back to the topic. "The Fake Traveler" is now about to be finished, so I would like to say goodbye to all my book friends." "Mars, there's no need to say goodbye," Xiao Huangrong explained, "My dad is studying time travel." "Earth Time and Space No. X", I will go to Earth Time and Space No. "Specialty?" Xiao Huang Rong asked curiously, "What do you want?" "Golden finger from Jinniu Mountain, can you bring me a gold finger?" "Okay." "What kind of golden finger do you like?" "It doesn't matter, as long as it can defy the heavens." "Don't worry, all the golden fingers in Taurus Mountain can defy the heavens." "That's good." "Mars, can I leave now?" "So soon?" "I have to go back to feed that Tyrannosaurus rex." "Okay. Before leaving, Ronger will sing a song for everyone. "Sing?" "Sing whatever you want." "Mars, what's the name of the song you're listening to now?" "I'm listening to an old song by Meng Tingwei." The song is called "Shining Days"? "I'll just sing this song, okay?" "No problem." Friends of the novel, this is the end of the "Fake Traveler" book completion conference, and the novel also officially ends today. Thank you for taking your precious time to attend this event today. Finally, Ronger will sing for you. A song called "Shining Days". In Ronger's sweet and melodious singing, this "Fake Traveler" conference came to an end. I wish all book friends that their wishes will come true and their dreams will come true. We'll see you later. Goodbye." As soon as he finished speaking, a melodious melody sounded on the stage, which was the prelude to the song "Shining Days". In the center of the stage, there is a little lolita standing. She is wearing a pink dress, just like the first blooming peach blossom. The little lolita is naturally the cute little Huang Rong. Xiao Huangrong holds the microphone in her little hand, her petite body swaying gently to the rhythm of the song, her pretty face with a childlike voice has slight dimples, and her big watery eyes flicker, as if she is brewing emotions. After a soothing prelude, at this time, Xiao Huangrong picked up the microphone, opened her little cherry mouth, and sang "Shining Days" softly with a childish voice: "I will sing a song, the ancient song . I sing softly with you slowly. Do you still remember the dreams of the past? You and I went through hardships for our ideals. We cried and laughed together. We will remember, forever, the shining days we once had ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªI want to go back to Mars ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªOn Earth on August 31, 2014.
