How to write a novel well?

I went online to find an article called "The Road for Newcomers to Become Gods", which mainly talked about how newcomers write good novels.

It's too long to send. Take a look at the beginning:

The road to becoming a god

introduce

At present, there are more than 60 thousand authors at the starting point. For a newcomer, it is not difficult to break through the encirclement of these 60 thousand "enemies" and become a first-line author and a "great god" among others. However, it is not impossible, as long as you are willing to work hard and find the right method.

The efforts of newcomers are beyond the control of editors, but some tips can still be found to help newcomers in writing skills and updating secrets. The following will tell the new man's road to becoming a god from two parts: the king's way and the sophistry.

Wang Dao talks about how to effectively improve the quality of works. The quality of works is the foundation of success. If there is no good work, then no matter how it is packaged and publicized, the popularity gained is false and short-lived. Only by writing a good book can we retain readers and establish a position in the circle. Sophistication focuses on updating skills, advertising and using all available resources, including some small plots. Taoism is only Taoism because it was born on the basis of kingly way. If the quality of the work is poor, no matter what tricks are used, only minimal gains can be obtained, which will not only make it a real god, but also be harmful to long-term development. However, if we can have a moderate creative strength, use reasonable means and try our best to package the works and publicize them in place, it is only a matter of time before the newcomers become gods with the accumulation of time.

The following contents are aimed at newcomers who have a little social experience, can express their ideas fluently and are not familiar with the starting point. If you are a completely inexperienced kindergarten child, please grow up quickly and read this article when you are in middle school. If you have such a headache about composition that you can't write fluent sentences, it is suggested to keep a diary for a few months first, or find a friend of the opposite sex and write hundreds of love letters. I believe that the writing level will be enough then; And if you are an old author, then some of the most basic introductions in this article can be skipped directly.

The last chapter of Wang Dao.

First, what do you write?

As an author, before writing a book, we must first make clear what we want to write and what we hope to achieve. This goal does not mean how many clicks, recommendations, collections, subscriptions you have at the starting point, but also publication, awards you have won, immortality, etc. Or the goal can be to make yourself happy and give yourself an outlet. ...

After setting a goal, it is possible to go firmly in the direction of the goal, repent halfway through writing, and set a new goal. However, if you look around while writing, you obviously want to write what you want to write, but you still expect to make money, or if you obviously want to add personal preferences and just want to be happy, basically there will be no good results.

It must be explained here that this article is aimed at the author who makes money as the starting point. If you set other goals, that's fine. The starting point welcomes such an author, but this article is not suitable for you. And if you focus on money, then reading this article carefully, I believe it will help you.

Second, what books can make money?

Now that we have set the goal of making money. Then you should know first. What kind of books can make money?

Here you are. First of all, give a seemingly irresponsible answer: readers love books. To make money. Maybe someone will say. Isn't this nonsense? What is certain is that. This sentence is nonsense anyway. But in fact, just put it another way. This problem is relatively easy to analyze.

Before answering the question. Just to be clear. Here is for readers. Online readers and first-time users only. More precisely, it refers to the starting point vip members. Only such people like reading books. To make money. Of course, there is one more thing. There are many works that are miserable at the beginning. Doesn't mean nobody likes it. For example, * * works. There is also a great market space. It's just ... its readers have little overlap with the users at the starting point. So the popularity of the starting point is relatively bleak.

Having said so much. What is the starting point of readers' love? In fact, this is nothing more than the following two points: first. A lively and interesting story. A tortuous and bizarre plot; Two. Let readers have a strong sense of substitution. And feel refreshed. Usually called YY. One of them is. The second point is more important. In the mainstream.

YY's good works. First, it must be a work with a strong sense of substitution. It's just that the reader thinks of the protagonist as himself. For the protagonist to feel breathless when humiliated. The protagonist feels refreshed when he is arrogant. And the YY spirit in the works. So as to maximize the embodiment. Let readers get the greatest pleasure in reading.

Many works, although it seems that the protagonist's strength has soared again and again, do not have that refreshing feeling to read, largely because the role's sense of substitution is not strong enough. Traditional martial arts novels are typical examples. In this kind of works, the protagonist is often handsome, stunted, attracted by beautiful women, able to anger and punish bullies. It stands to reason that there are so many YY elements that it is difficult for a work not to be fired, but the decline of traditional martial arts is a well-known reality. A big factor lies in the sense of substitution of the role. The protagonists of traditional martial arts novels are all born in ancient times, and their thoughts and behaviors are completely out of touch with modern people. It's hard for people to imagine themselves as the protagonist of the story.
