It will be on the shelves tomorrow, so let me have a quick chat.
After the release, the conservative plan is 4000~5000 words/day, the small goal is 6000~8000 words/day, the big goal is... Well, I will let you know when I achieve the small goal.
The update time is usually around 10pm.
The length of this book will be at least 1 million words, and the author first ensures that the plot will not be jumpy and will not lack a sense of refreshment.
Well, the above mainly depends on the subscription performance. The author's bottom line is quite flexible.
[I feel like I really can't write fast]
Machiavellian writing is really demanding on the brain, and it can easily lead to poisoning if not written well... Sometimes I get stuck for a long time just because of one sentence of a certain character.
Or, the writing feels inconsistent with the characteristics of the original character and needs to be revised many times, but this situation is gradually decreasing because the author is becoming more and more familiar with the characteristics of each character.
In short, what I want to express is that I want to write as accurately as possible within my limited ability.
Also, a friend gave me some advice: when I am stuck on writing, I can choose to write more warm-colored plots, which will help to supplement my inspiration.
I think this idea is really good.
[Protagonist's origin setting]
Before starting the book, the author spent a lot of thought on the protagonist's starting point.
Most of the characters that everyone knows or likes are in Westeros and Essos, so I just gave up.
After choosing Westeros, I finally selected Crackclaw Point, which has the tradition of loyalty to Queen.
In this way, you can reasonably contact the well-known Queen Cersei from the beginning, so as to facilitate the development of the protagonist's plot.
The main surnames Crackclaw Point appeared in the original work are: House Boggs, House Brune, House Cave, House Crabb, House Hardy, House Pyne.
After much selection, the author feels that the name Crabb sounds good and has more momentum than others.
Also, other families of Crackclaw Point have produced at most one Kingsguard, while House Crabb has produced three Kingsguards, as well as legendary heroes (Crackclaw Point), who are relatively prominent within Crackclaw Point.
Furthermore, in order to ensure the pleasure of the readers, in addition to the protagonist's high intelligence, he was given two tricks with weak presence, one is Wushuang, and the other is the racial aura of Crackclaw Point.
Machiavellian strategies always require some process. This is to prevent the readers from being aggrieved. If you occasionally feel unhappy, just think about turning over the table at worst, so that it will not affect your reading mood.
Ahem, keep reading in a good mood.
[About plot development]
There are many Machiavellian players hidden among the readers of this book.
There are always many unexpected accidents happening in Ice and Fire, which is also part of its appeal.
Therefore, I also racked my brains to set up relevant plots, but there are always some readers who can decipher the follow-up in advance within the limited text.
Sometimes the comments I read can shock me, and I even suspect that there is a traitor in the family, and almost get a beating.
At first, I thought about bypassing the interpreted part and resetting it... then I chose to lie down.
I was worried that the outline would be messed up and the plot would collapse, so I just gave it up and chose to add meat.
Author: Embrace the world and embrace powerful people.
