I was half autistic and half fishing for a while, and then I finished writing a short story and came back.

First, the ads:

A new book has been released - "I Am Laplace's Demon", a novel about superpowers and love.

Introduction:

"Pierre-Simon Laplace proposed a scientific hypothesis."

"It is known that the future is the effect of the present, and the past is the cause of the present. The effect can be deduced from the cause, and the cause can be deduced from the effect."

"If a wise man can know the positions of all forces and objects at a certain moment, and can analyze these data, then for this wise man, nothing in the past or the future will be ambiguous."

"The wise man is the omniscient one, and his name is Laplace's demon."

"——I am the Laplace Demon."

Superhuman computing power, with the help of formulas from physics, psychology and other disciplines, can deduce the story of the future protagonist and the girls with supernatural powers.

It is a new attempt that is not too new.

.

Then it’s confession time.

When the new book was first released, some book friends discovered it. This was something I didn't expect.

Tell the book friends who are still willing to pay attention to the current situation, and also explain the current situation to yourself.

From the time I started writing books as a sophomore in college to the book "The Life Exchange Game", there were occasional twists and turns, but overall it was smooth sailing. Both my creative ability and the performance of my book were on the rise.

If this situation lasts for a long time, your mood will inevitably become high.

"Life Exchange Game" is actually the framework of "Evil Girl", which is the improvement of professional skills + stickers with beautiful girls. This is the original way of writing the daily theme of love, and it is also the most complete way of writing.

I had no intention of writing another story with the same framework. At the same time, the results of "Swap Game" had basically reached the ceiling of this type of book, so I started to save the nation from extinction (bushi).

"Survival Game" is a new idea that almost abandons the daily writing of love, and is inspired by battle royale movies and desert island movies; "Ghost" absorbs the setting of exploring alien abilities in "Blood"; "Ghost Story"

The framework was borrowed from the theme of quick travel on women's videos, and was directly inspired by "Weird Gentlemen", and the style was also learned from women's videos; "Secret Room" was originally based on the idea after watching "Beyond the Mist", and a lot of effort was put into setting it up.

The supernatural rules and world view of each copy.

There is no doubt that these did not meet higher expectations.

"Ghost" and "Ghost Story" can be said to have flaws in their subject matter, but "Survival Game" and "Secret Room" are not. In the industry, the first V subscription ratio within ten is called excellent, and I have not subscribed to any of them.

Than entered over ten.

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】

"Secret Chamber" had high hopes. The final outline of the draft contained nine copies and more than 10,000 words. I spent nine nights holding the material notebook. There were 20,000 words in the material notebook, and I collected nearly 10,000 words.

Year.

I expected that its initial results might not be very good, so I was mentally prepared. In the initial stage, the recommended PK almost failed, but later it slowly improved. I thought it was getting better, but what I didn't expect was that the subscription ratio remained the same.

Outside Ten. The more niche the subject matter, the higher the subscription ratio should be.

I have to wonder about one thing, what is my ability level? Could it be that all my previous books relied on my control of the subject matter rather than my creative ability?

All the above things kept weighing on me. At first, I loved reading the commentary and read every chapter. I couldn't remember whether it was "Ghost" or "Ghost Story", and I couldn't muster the courage to read it.

Finally, with the decline in subscriptions after the release of "Secret Room", my mentality directly broke.

Still too high-spirited.

I live in a small city and have no plans to upgrade my consumption. The results of any of the above books are enough for me to live comfortably. If it weren't for my ambition, I shouldn't be so uncomfortable.

To put it nicely, that Qi is the pursuit of being faster, higher and stronger. To put it more unpleasantly, it means that you have to look far away from Shu and never feel satisfied.

I traveled to Beijing for a month, and the Qidian Theater project happened to be launched.

At that time, I was reading books by Japanese writers such as Renjo Mikihiko, Otoichi, and Murakami, so partly out of interest and partly to escape, I wrote the Japanese style "Long Night Will Come to Light", which was inspired by Otoichi's "I Wait in the Dark"

》.

After finishing "The Long Night", I thought it was time to face reality and start a real new book, but I fell into confusion again.

What kind of stories are interesting? What kinds of themes are feasible?

There is a word called "gestalt collapse", which means that if you stare at a word for a long time, you will feel that the word has become unrecognizable.

I don’t know if I fell into this state. I changed several themes and wrote several beginnings. I was very confused and didn’t know if it was interesting to write like this.

I feel like I'm a little crazy.

Finally, I showed the two opening chapters to the editor and finally decided on the book "Laplace's Demon".

Looking back on the past, I was too impetuous and could not tolerate any downturns.

I tortured myself, and I feel sorry for the book friends who subscribed.

If you are not capable enough, you should accept the reality and improve yourself in creation in a down-to-earth manner instead of running away again and again.

Escape will not do anything, and the self-deception of "this was just a mistake" will only become an obstacle.

I hereby guarantee that as long as the manuscript fee for "Laplace's Demon" is enough to live on, I will finish it steadily (more than one million words).

It’s not like he didn’t even get the lowest score from the previous four books, right?

I always feel that a bad flag has been set, which is an illusion.

The books mentioned above only involve the study of writing style and story frame, and at most one or two settings, without reference to plot or description.

No creator can create in a vacuum, and the works of future generations are always based on learning from their predecessors.
