After determining the theme and selling points, you can write an outline.
Secondly, how to write an outline, first of all, look for some of the most popular novels, and learn from them why their works sell well, have many readers, and have what characteristics can attract people!
Thirdly, after finishing, you can write an outline, for example, you can design several plots in advance.
For example, the first chapter, the protagonist's identity, personality, character appearance, style and so on. Be highlighted and make personal suggestions. It's best to make the previous chapters lively and interesting, so that readers can read them more easily.
Several plot lines are designed in the outline, such as: the main line, the order of the protagonist from weak to strong, all the way to upgrade; The second line (or hidden line plot) belongs to the trigger, such as meeting and meeting something. ...
Generally speaking, there is much to be done to write a good online novel!
For many people, writing novels seems very troublesome. In fact, it is a rather painful and boring thing. Think about it. Don't bluff that you are racking your brains for code words while playing games, chatting and watching movies. ...
As a starting point writer, I can only tell you this. Finally, I wish you a good novel.
Question 2: How to write online novels well? In today's era of novels flooding, more and more novels gradually ignore the creative skills, and blindly pursue * * *, vent, make-up and other phenomena are increasing.
No matter how good the writing is, no matter how gorgeous the sentences are, no matter how exaggerated the plot is, it is only superficial, just like handsome guys and beautiful women. This kind of novel may be attractive at first, but then again, whether it can retain readers depends on the author's real ability.
I think the article is inseparable from human nature. As far as I know, the most popular and popular cartoons today are often those works with average painting level but fascinating stories, especially those works that successfully shape human nature; For those who have reached the level of "master" in painting, many works have been neglected because the storyline can't meet the requirements of readers. For example, the successful cartoon Gundam mainly describes the essence of war. Is it because of strength that war is brought about or because of the need for peace that strength is needed to maintain peace? Whether war is right or wrong has always been a question that everyone is looking for. It describes the war incisively and vividly, and also sets off the multifaceted phenomenon of human nature with war. Therefore, Japan's "Gundam" series animation has always topped the list.
Now let's discuss novel writing skills:
The plot of this novel is very rhythmic. It's like a piano piece. Its melody is light, heavy, urgent and slow. When the sketch is gentle and docile, or * * *, it needs careful design to be completed. Music without melody will sound very comfortable and moving. But if the music is chaotic and discordant, it sounds particularly harsh and uncomfortable, and I don't know what I'm talking about. The melody has cadence, and so does the story structure.
First, the characterization of characters.
1, the elements of character performance are:
First, a unique way of expression
Habitual action
C, joint dialogue
D, ideas
Y, thoughts and desires
F, weaknesses and defects
G, like and dislike the role
2, the use of these elements:
All the above elements can be used as creative tools. These tools must be good at using. You can list these settings columns and then mark the performance section. More important character parts should be repeatedly displayed to deepen readers' impression of the role.
Second, the use and foil of supporting roles.
There is a joke that handsome guys and beautiful women always like to be with people who are uglier or shorter than themselves, because they set off at that time. The same is true of story creation. You need this kind of foil, especially the supporting role. Constantly use supporting roles to set off the protagonist and try their best to shape the protagonist into an idol. So all the supporting roles are set to set off the protagonist.
1. Types of supporting roles:
Active guidance, worship and help.
Uncertain mystery type, competitive type and clown type.
Negative frame type
2, auxiliary type: often inseparable from the protagonist, difficult to share, and has the necessary role of sharing wealth.
Mentor type: an auxiliary role that gives the protagonist correct knowledge and concepts. Worship: The object that the protagonist likes is usually the heroine (male), which has a great influence on the protagonist's mood and is an important role that affects the whole plot change.
Mysterious type: it will have obvious positive or negative influence on the protagonist, and will never name names. Usually, he will be deified.
Competitive: Strength must not be the first advantage of the protagonist, but you will be excited or afraid of the hidden strength of the protagonist, which will not hinder the progress of the protagonist, but will promote the growth of the protagonist and become an opponent who can compete with himself.
Frame-up type: usually to get what the protagonist has, or because he is not pleasing to the eye, he often opposes the protagonist, which is also an indispensable role in the plot.
Clown type: a character who often pulls people by the back to do ridiculous things and make fun of them.
3. Each role has its necessary functions. Just like online games, you must constantly create a balance in your plot and then break this balance, so the interaction between characters is also correspondingly important. When the positive force is too strong, it shows that the sense of crisis is insufficient; When the negative force is too strong, it means that the status of the protagonist will collapse. Under such superposition, * * * is constantly produced.
Third, the play and setting of the bridge section
1, contrast bridge: in the positioning of the protagonist, arrange another bridge to make an enviable contrast with the setting of the protagonist. In this way, it is easy for readers to have a standard to measure, and it can also highlight the uniqueness of the protagonist.
......& gt& gt
Question 3: How can I write a good online novel? Read more and practice more, and your writing will get better and better.
But being the most creative is also important. Your writing style should be different, so it will be more popular.
Question 4: How to write a good online novel (1) and the secret of its success.
Online novels have typical commercial characteristics. What is business? It is not enough to applaud yourself, but someone must pay the bill, and as many people as possible. As for good or bad, the key is that someone has to watch. As long as someone pays the bill, even if someone scolds him afterwards, it won't hurt his success. There is only one criterion for its success: making readers pay and making authors or websites profitable. As for the post-evaluation after making money, it will not be considered.
Although seemingly simple and vulgar, seemingly incompatible with the nobility of literature and even blasphemous, it is undeniable that it is not so easy for readers to come up with real money for an illusory story.
There are two key factors. First, let the reader read the beginning and want to know the plot behind. Second, we should keep readers' continuous interest in reading, even at the expense of money.
The first point is actually very difficult. How many stories should there be in the world? Why should readers recognize your story? Therefore, the beginning of the novel is very important. We have a classic saying: If the first chapter can't attract readers, please believe that readers will choose the small fork in the upper right corner of the page. As long as the reader chooses the fork in the upper right corner, there is more than 90% probability that the book will not enter his eyes for the second time-what is the remaining 10% probability? This is the real prosperity of this book. If this book becomes popular, some readers will come back to know about it.
So, how can readers not choose the deadly fork? There are the following tips, which are indispensable. First of all, the protagonist must enter the state within 500 words. Secondly, within a thousand words, the plot must be unfolded. Finally, in the first chapter, we must find the excitement of readers. As for stimulation, there are many suspense, imagination and self-substitution. Since everyone may be unfamiliar with self-substitution, let me explain that self-substitution is commonly known as "sense of substitution", which means the reader's empathy for the protagonist, and we call it "the bud of a dream".
If the first point is difficult, then the second point is undoubtedly difficult. The second point is to keep the reader's interest in reading continuous and uninterrupted. Any interruption means giving up. You can think about it, a network novel, five or six million words, thousands of chapters, what is the "life gate" of the novel? Any fate will lead readers to leave you. How difficult is it to cover all the life gates? One of the key points is the combination of popular version and VIP version. The front is free and the back is free. Most people don't spend money on reading books, including everyone. You can think for yourself. Have you ever spent money on books? Therefore, in general, 80% of readers will leave at this stage, which is the fundamental reason why the number of collections is generally five times that of subscriptions.
It's hard to say before, but it's going to be revealed later.
How to attract readers' interest and how to make readers pay for it?
There are two situations here, one is a famous artist. Famous writers have a fixed readership, commonly known as loyal fans. These people are familiar with the author's routines, know the author's techniques, and are obsessed with the characters created by the author. Even if there are some minor flaws in the new book, they still firmly believe that they will find something new from the author, and they will chase you forever. On the other hand, unknown artists do not have a fixed fan base, or the fan base is not large enough. These people can only rely on the plot to win and keep each chapter attractive. Speaking of which, you may feel strange. As you said before, a book has thousands of chapters, which means there are many loopholes and breakthroughs everywhere. Who can stop all of them from losing readers? Actually, not necessarily. The early stage of a book is dangerous. When the story unfolds to a certain extent, the excitement of attracting others is also increasing. The collapse of one or two excitement points will not completely lead to the loss of readers, because he has other excitement points to support. Even if they see the most disappointing chapter, they will stick to ten or twenty chapters before giving up. As long as they give him new excitement in the later persistence stage, he will continue.
Speaking of which, do you understand a lot?
Some people say that people who write long online novels are really not people, but gods. Actually, they are not. To be exact, they are just a group of people who are good at finding the excitement of others. In a sense, these people are all people with high emotional intelligence in online novels (not representing reality).
The conclusion of the problem has come out. The secret of the success of online novels is to find as many exciting points as possible and keep them exciting. Then, the key core came. What can keep readers excited?
(2) The secret of the success of online novels (2......& gt& gt
Question 5: How to write a good story of a novel? In the final analysis, there is a problem now. As we all know, there are too many online novels, and hundreds of millions of words are updated every day. Readers who want to read so many novels must read the first few chapters. If you can't, you should throw it away, so it's best to point out the protagonist at the beginning. Don't use many descriptions of scenes and environments. It is best to show the protagonist in the first 300 words, and then start to lead out the content. Now it's all useless. Fantasy novel, even online novels, pay attention to one word ... Cool! Cool doesn't mean that the protagonist can do whatever he wants, so it doesn't matter whether it's cool or not, so you give the protagonist a sense of oppression and then it explodes, that's cool. Waste wood, humiliated, and then find an adventure, that is, gold finger, rose, and in turn teach the person who humiliated him, cool. There are too many online novels and too many contents, so the beginning is crucial, and it is possible to read them after attracting readers. Speaking of stationary period, I like to add two points: 1. The smooth period will definitely be encountered in every novel. The more words, the more times it will be encountered. I'm fantasy novel, and I'll take fantasy novel as an example. In the tender period, readers often don't like it very much, which makes them uninterested. At this time, I like two ways. One way is to mediate with the hostess. The relationship between men and women in the novel should not be too dull, but there should be some twists and turns, which is what readers like best, so that the tender period can be spent; 2. The second is the foreshadowing of the tender period. The so-called foreshadowing is a pit, which is also the key to attract readers to keep chasing. There are ups and downs in foreshadowing. Depending on the situation in your book, you can relate something according to foreshadowing, associate something according to foreshadowing, or set another series of foreshadowing according to foreshadowing, such as this foreshadowing, the next foreshadowing, or a small part of this foreshadowing. The so-called pit god Chen Dong is the foreshadowing of this kind of pit ... The god of war in the celestial world can be said to be the strongest one in the celestial world. He was treated in some way, forced to come to the world, reborn and reborn, and was oppressed to some extent. At some point, he suddenly broke this restriction and started practicing again, and then it got cold. Two: how to upgrade the development of fantasy from the beginning of western fantasy magic to the present, the upgrade is also from the first few levels to the present dozens or even nearly 100 levels. The reason is very simple, just one word ... cool! The more levels, the more upgrades, and the readers will be very happy. The corresponding grade valve corresponds to the enemy of the protagonist, and the corresponding grade corresponds to the enemy of the protagonist. By insulting the enemy to contrast the protagonist, the reader looks excited and passionate, but the upgrade is also skillful. I have read a lot of books, upgraded in battle and defeated the enemy. This kind of plot is better to appear less in the future, because there were too many books a year or two ago and readers were tired of reading them. It can give readers a sense of expectation before the battle, and then the enemy's arrangement will set off the majestic protagonist. In the final analysis, the enemy. For example, when the protagonist meets the enemy, there is a gap in strength between the two. The enemy despises the protagonist, looks down on him, satirizes him and deliberately makes trouble. The protagonist dissolves to a certain extent and then cultivates a breakthrough. Conversely, if the two sides really fight and step on the enemy, it will make readers look good and attract readers easily. Three: finally, talk about updates and codewords. It is estimated that many people are depressed. Why can't they code a few words a day, right? It is true that the update of online novels is king. Even if you say who is slow, the essence has readers, but the problem is that there are too few such people, countless people seeking the essence, but there is no result, so updating is the primary problem we face. How to high-speed code words and long-term high-speed code words? The easiest way is to unplug the network cable and turn off the code word in the darkroom. I think everyone can't help doing something else and watching a movie. Look at the web page? Read your favorite novel? You can adjust your habits, stipulate a code word for a period of time every day, and never do anything else. Then you may have 20 thousand code words a day like me. As for updates, the more updates, the more readers. Here comes the recommendation. You will have a large number of words and attract more readers. So if you save the manuscript, don't choke. The update will be updated. Question and answer session (Q&A) 1. How to grasp the rhythm of novels? The rhythm of the novel, my suggestion is to promote it according to the * * * stage of your design, and the speed depends on whether your * * * design can attract readers; Love, fantasy novel is ambiguous, and the feelings of men and women seem to be absent, which makes you expect and worry. Well, it seems needless to say about romance. ......& gt& gt
Question 6: How to write the first chapter of online novels? This was explained by the instructor when I attended the youth training camp at 17K. I will share it with you. You can also participate for free if you are interested! The instructors are all very good, and the website is also very good for new authors!
When writing a novel, you must have an outline. Therefore, even a lazy author should write an outline of 30 thousand words at the beginning.
This outline should account for at least 50% of the length of the protagonist. It is necessary to strengthen the protagonist's sense of existence, so that readers can quickly substitute the role and then indulge in the work.
The first is the scene of the protagonist.
Imagine: there is a book with 30 thousand words at the beginning and only three or five thousand words in the protagonist. Will you read such a book?
Considering people nowadays, reading novels is for leisure. Never put anything too complicated at the beginning. The simpler the better. What really sells well is that the protagonist appears at the beginning, and other supporting roles rarely appear, which affects the protagonist's sense of existence.
To sum up: in the first 30,000 words, if you can make readers feel good about the protagonist, then you will succeed. And if there are more than a dozen characters' names to compete with the protagonist for impression, the success rate of such novels will be much lower.
Then, there are settings and backgrounds.
When writing online novels, I am most afraid of putting settings and backgrounds in front of my works. How important is 30 thousand words? It can be said that whether readers like a book or not depends only on the first 30 thousand words.
It is unwise to put settings and backgrounds in such an important place. The suggestion is: after your readers like your book, tell them your background setting.
These aspects should be integrated into the environment and background:
First, the protagonist's sense of substitution.
Second, the foreshadowing and pit of the full text.
Third, an attractive beginning.
Fourth, have a good golden finger.
For an old bookworm, writing likes to insert wedges. The main function of this wedge is to bury seeds.
As far as Meng Ling is concerned, the protagonist blew himself up in Beichen Mountain, but the author was buried: why did he blow himself up, what were the consequences after the explosion, how to make a comeback, and who was the voice of the woman who was stopped. How the story unfolds. If these questions continue, readers will naturally be tempted to follow them.
A wedge usually has 500 to 1000 words.
At the beginning, the protagonist comes out, grabs a characteristic thing and strengthens the protagonist's sense of existence. This costs one or two thousand words. Another plot advance, point the golden finger, quote the full text, 10 thousand words will do.
Then, discard some settings. Background, one or two thousand words is enough to give readers a general impression of the whole world. When readers have a good impression on the protagonist, you can write whatever you want in the future.
Now some bestsellers use gunmen, but readers will not stop reading. Why? Because the beginning is well written, I have a sense of belonging to the characters, so it doesn't matter who wrote the following plot.
So if you like to write the plot setting, you might as well explain it in detail after 30 thousand words, which will not affect the cultivation of readers' sense of belonging and substitution for the protagonist.
Then, how to modify or make up for hundreds of thousands of words?
First, modify the beginning. To be sure, no matter who wrote hundreds of thousands of words, it is still helpful to modify the beginning.
How to modify it?
The first is the basic mistake, so I won't say much.
Secondly, it is to increase the wedge and strengthen the protagonist's sense of existence; Or lay the groundwork and connect it with the plot we wrote later.
Third, it is slimming.
Slimming is to delete useless things.
How to judge what is useless? It's actually quite simple. We can write another fine outline of about 100 words according to the already written article.
Then all the plots revolve around this fine outline, unnecessary adjectives, characterization, fine background ... >>
Question 7: How to go from a novice to an online novel writer? The more detailed the step-by-step procedural answer, the better, preferably an experienced old author. In addition, I want to write Xuan. I'm not an old author, but I've been writing for three or four years (I haven't finished one).
Question 8: How to become a successful online novel writer, from a newest inbound author to a famous king close to God, there are at least three hurdles.
The first is to sign a contract to complete a work.
There are many authors who have not signed the contract, such as ftp, and a group of old authors who insist on writing, such as the magical world before signing the contract, such as the prodigal son of CS- Border Town, such as Legend 3D ................................................................................................................. Writing is hard work, and I always respect those writers who insist on writing without seeking fame and fortune. This list may be renamed, but it will always exist.
Without the recommendation of the website, the road to commercialization is really difficult.
So if you want to make money by writing online, the first obstacle you have to overcome is signing a contract.
First, I like books with many signatures. The first time I saw the prodigal son in Border Town, as an ancient fan, I really felt tears in my eyes. This book was transferred to several websites, and the readers were very loyal, but for various reasons, it was buried. When I first started as an editor, I heard from my boss that many good books in the world were buried by editors. This is a wake-up call that keeps ringing in my ears. It is true that the power of website editors is really great now. They sign books they like, not books they don't like. Many editors never even read books, just look at the data and decide what books to sign. Every time I see my boss, I always feel particularly guilty. Seeing those unknown authors who insist on writing, they always feel that they have not done enough and have not done their best. In the case of 17K recommending opportunities, we are willing to publish more public works on the home page, and we are also willing to provide various opportunities to help those authors who insist on writing.
Secondly, I like to sign the book of the author who owns all the works. There are too many uncertainties in online texts. It's a pity if you sign a work and it's not finished in the end.
Many new authors have strong ideas and concise and fluent writing, but they lack control of the overall situation. At the end of the book, I'm afraid they don't even know what they are writing.
The control of the overall situation is difficult to gather without the tempering of hundreds of thousands of words.
I have talked to many authors about this problem. Most books are signed when they are tens of thousands of words. Although there is an outline, it is difficult for writers to stick to the idea of the outline. At this point, the drinker is a model, whose outline is complete and his writing is very dedicated.
After signing the contract, most writers can write very fast at the beginning until they meet the first bottleneck.
This bottleneck is roughly in the third month of writing. When the number of words is 300,000-500,000, many writers may suddenly feel that they don't know how to write well. Because of all kinds of things, there is no writing. A long time ago, when I was working on another website, I signed the pencil sharpener of an author who wrote Rhapsody in Battle. Once I got up at two or three in the middle of the night and saw that his Q was still on. He is also a man with a job. In the middle of the book, he is extremely painful to write, and often he can't write a word for hours. It is easy for any newcomer to write the beginning. In the middle, he began to feel a little difficult. 700,000 to 800,000 words is the most difficult time. They are all anticlimactic, dragging their words to talk. I have read tens of thousands of books in recent years, and few can read well. After this, most of the authors with good endings have successfully completed sublimation. After the first hurdle, they became famous writers, and even many people took off and started writing professionally.
Let's talk about the appropriate way for the signing author to meet the first hurdle.
Leave a bookmark, there is always something worth recommending. A book must be signed for a reason, right? What is its highlight? Why do so many readers like it?
Many authors themselves don't know why my bookmark is closed and why my book is on fire.
Therefore, when you continue to write, it is very easy to ignore your own advantages and choose your own shortcomings.
Many books may have a high subscription at first, but later they became less and less, and a large number of readers lost, and the books ended hastily. And some authors persisted, not only realized, but also successfully transformed.
Many authors like to analyze data, but in fact ... >>
Question 9: How to write online novels? After reading this article, I was most impressed by:
A novel to be written is read by some people as long as the plot is good. If someone wants to remember it, they must also write a few impressive characters. And if you want to leave a deep impression, you must have a touching spirit, which is the soul of the novel.
As a creator, you must see your heart clearly: what do you want to express? Vent what? Show what? What was your state when the inspiration first flashed? This requires the creator to do nothing for a long time, but concentrate on discovering himself, criticizing himself and rediscovering himself. After experiencing this pain, the creator will define himself accurately. Well, whether you are a structuralist thinker or a deconstructionist, you should try to enlarge your own doctrine to the extreme at this time! At this time, you will find that the works that let readers see the text but can't immediately call out the author's name are only the primary state of an excellent creator, so go to hell with it or them.
It has been several years since I entered the network literature circle. From entertaining myself in the past to now it has finally become a profession. Although the manuscript fee is meager and unknown, it has finally been recognized by people. When I was a novice, many senior friends gave me help. I recently decided to start living in seclusion, so I wrote something before I retired, which is a help to the newcomers. At the same time, it is also a small gift for the commentary group.
The three elements of novels taught by primary school teachers are "plot, characters and environment." I was convinced of this when I was a child, but after listening to the dialogue between CCTV editors and my master, I changed my mind.
At that time, the editor of CCTV came to ask my master for a manuscript and wanted my master to write some scripts. At that time, he talked about writing like this: "There is a book called Stories (Robert.
Mackey), which is the best textbook for film writers in the world today, is of guiding significance to the creation of any kind of literature. I suggest you buy it and have a look. It will do you no harm. Here, I take an expert's argument to make a study and sell now: the three elements of literary works are characters, plots and spirits. This seems too serious, but it is universally applicable, and no literary type can escape, unless the creator has no courage to survive by writing and deliberately spoofing. .......................................................................................................................................
Someone has to write a novel, as long as the plot is good. If someone wants to remember it, they must also write a few impressive characters. And if you want to impress people, you must have a touching spirit, which is the soul of the novel.
. "
A Fei said that I am the representative of Tao, and I like this title very much.
After eavesdropping on the conversation between CCTV editors and my master, I put the spirit of the novel first according to the master's words. Besides, I don't care about the environment of the story anymore. Because in fantasy novel, or online novels, readers will not pursue the truth of the story. We are going to write novels, not documentary literature.
If you want to write a composition that primary school teachers give high marks, you might as well write it according to "plot, characters and environment". However, if you want your novel to have a place on the Internet, you'd better follow the words of CCTV editors, that is, "plot, characters and spirit".
