: The newcomer's guide

This text is written because the starting point divides the new book potential list into two lists for newcomers to have more opportunities to show. But there are still many newcomers who have adopted annoying practices, and there are still many newcomers who still do not know where their problems are. So I think, writing something useful for newcomers.
If the author's writing strength is used to classify the starting point, I can probably be regarded as a middle or late position for the second-line author. Perhaps it should be counted as the first author among the third-line authors. With the quality of writing alone, I think many newcomers are better than me. But as the deputy editor of the starting point editing department, the editor of Shanda Entertainment-Fiction, and the participating formulators of multiple starting point systems, I think I have been looking at the development of the starting point in a more objective way in the past few years, watching A large number of works at the starting point also look at the mistakes that newcomers often repeat.
To say my identity is not to show off. But I want to explain that this kind of identity makes my reading at the starting point more targeted. When I look at a work, it is not simply good-looking or bad-looking, but about whether the work has commercial value.
I will write some of my experiences on the topic selection, outline, character shaping, plot rhythm, working method of the starting point editing department, the effects of various lists, and how the author can better develop the starting point. The author is helpful.
This beginner's guide for online authors is aimed at business authors who like to write and also want to exchange writing for a stable and good return. I want to write the author of the works of Liu Fang Baishi, the author of works such as prose poems, this article is not useful to you.
I do n’t dare to say how much these things I wrote can help a new author, but even if a new author can benefit from these things, it ’s worth it. A few years ago, I had the point of being poor and unable to write anymore. But thanks to the help of enthusiastic friends on the Internet, it made me overcome the difficulties, and I now have a good working environment and a good income. Therefore, I firmly believe that friends who like writing, work hard, and have talents for writing, should not pay hard rewards after obtaining hard material rewards. Web writers, we write, and we should also receive material rewards for writing. This is our right.
This article is dedicated to newcomers and friends who work hard to keep up with the ideals of writing.
The first article of online writing: concept.
Determined, that is, choose the topic, choose the subject matter you want to write.
Many authors are relatively neglecting the topic, but they want to write such topics when they have recently read any books they like. But the topic selection is the foundation of the author's writing. Any author has his own style along with writing. And this style will have a considerable influence on the popularity of the work because of the topic selection of the work. For example, Mr. Lan Jing, whose writing is beautiful and cumbersome, adopts a writing style that is almost the same as translation. And his understanding of the history and culture of the Middle Ages in Europe, so that his writing and his European and Chinese medieval theme framework has achieved a complementary effect. Among the online works, Mr. Lan Jing's works are the best in describing the political and cultural atmosphere of medieval Europe. His writing method has not been seen on the Internet by the author so far. So despite the fact that he used the vest blood coral, the devil wrote. But any reader who has seen his work can determine the author's identity within a few chapters. And the most popular author of the starting point, Mr. Xue Hong, the biggest feature in the work is a kind of tyranny and arrogance, just like Maradona is to the fans. This kind of tyrannical feeling makes his work the same type of protagonist as other people ’s works. Can make the reader feel more refreshed. But it also caused that in his works, whether it is a demon, a dragon or a evil wind, whether it is a Chinese foreigner, an ancient person or a modern person, the protagonist always seems to have the same personality feeling.
Up to now, many newcomer authors still hold a kind of early writing about Mr. Xuehong, catching up with his luck. If I write rebellious works at that time and write so fast, it will be red. This mentality is what Chinese directors often say. Give me so much money, and I can shoot Lord of the Rings Star Wars. But our best director can only shoot Wuji after taking the money.
After a little more digression, back to the topic, how can a newcomer choose the theme that suits him?
Theoretically, no subject is suitable for newcomers, but only authors. It does not say what kind of subject the old man is suitable for, and what kind of subject the newcomer is suitable for. However, for new authors whose purpose is commercial writing, there are still some topics that are not suitable for touching when they first enter the industry.
I personally think that for newcomers who do not have certain writing experience and confidence, do not touch the three major categories of martial arts, science fiction, and reasoning. Most readers of the book grew up by reading martial arts books. There are countless classics in martial arts. But the most important thing is that the martial arts routines and character shaping are familiar to most readers. I understand that newcomers have a martial arts dream. After all, Jianghu is an eternal dream in the hearts of Chinese people. But the newcomers have to write good martial arts, especially the full-length martial arts, the difficulty is too high. If the dream of martial arts can't be put aside, then wrap the written martial arts. For example, the essence of "Zhu Xian" is a martial arts romance, but it is packed in a fairy tale. "Ultimate Hell" is a martial arts packaged with online games, and they have all achieved great success. Another shortcut for writing martial arts is the same person who writes well-known works. The advantage of this way of writing is that because the characters in the book have a clear impression in the reader's mind, the author does not need to expend effort to describe the characters. The love of the original book and the hope for the role will also make it easier for the work to gather a large number of readers.
Regardless of the previously famous "Young Boy Qiao Feng", Jiangnan used the name "Jiao Feng here". "Sui Xiang Tian Long Ba Bu", "I Am Zhang Wuji" and "Datang Shuanglong New Biography", which have gained good popularity on the Internet, are all representative. But the biggest problem with such works is that they are fan works. To be honest, it is illegal to use fan works to obtain commercial benefits. But the older generation of martial arts authors generally disregarded their online peers, and this has actually become a tacit act. Although the starting point for martial arts fan works is generally allowed to join. But do n’t expect to recommend publishing. The allowed fandom is basically limited to the works of early martial arts and Huang Yi, as well as game fandom, as well as works that have been published for more than fifty years. However, for fans of online works, as well as fans of Japanese anime, only publishing is allowed, not contracting. If you want to get commercial benefits, don't spend too much effort on these aspects.
As far as science fiction is concerned, the reader group is relatively small. Second, those who like science fiction works have certain requirements for the logical rationality of the works. Although there are also heterogeneous works such as Xuan Yu's "Legend of the Little Soldier" that completely do not comply with the rationality of science fiction works, but overall, science fiction has very high requirements for the author's knowledge. And if you can't write the feeling of science fiction, then write other types, the benefits will be much better.
As for the reasoning category, there are higher requirements for logical rationality, and there are fewer readerships. When writing reasoning, it is best to write with the mentality of practicing your own writing logic ability and not expecting commercial returns at all.
An author is not suitable for writing topics that he does not understand and does not dare to be interested in. This is not to say that an author who does not understand computer technology cannot write hackers. An author who doesn't understand martial arts can't write a ring. Because most of the readers you face do not understand. This is the tens of thousands of scouts in "Naked Orchid". Millions of troops fight together. "Dynasty Tigers" sells 100 million gold coins. Some modern urban novels have a protagonist worth several trillion dollars. The pocket money is several hundred million dollars. A work that can be described as humorous or ignorant does not hurt the popularity of the work.
The so-called subject matter that the author is not suitable for means that you cannot write the selling point of this subject matter. And this can be said to not write works that you are not interested in.
You may not understand it, but you may not be interested in your subject matter. For example, to write a hacker, you can not understand what the computer C language is, and you ca n’t understand how to steal someone ’s QQ password, (say, the thief I hate most is to steal passwords), but you must know what hackers can do, What the hacker's ability brings to the protagonist ... because this is the tension of the story you want to write, the selling point of conflict.
Choose the topic, the most taboo is to follow suit. No matter what other people write, no matter whether they like the subject or not, if they feel the subject is red, they quickly write. As a result, the more you write, the more uncomfortable you are, and the more you write, the more you have no special features. Later, you either gave up because the couldn't write anymore, or gave up on low popularity, or you couldn't write it yourself, so she copied other people's works.
Online writing, the word YY is often satirized. But here I clearly tell the newly-added authors or the authors who intend to join, YY is the essence of all works. YY is the salt and seasoning in the dish. No novel without YY has no reading value. Of course, a dish full of salt is difficult for others to swallow. You should not be induced by the false statements made by people who are often idle.
What is the essence of YY, my definition is that I am the description that can bring me the most pleasure in that situation.
For newcomers, there is a very simple way to choose what kind of subject matter you want to write and what kind of subject matter to choose. Is this subject matter correct? When you think about a theme, then close your eyes and think in your mind, this world, this protagonist is me. As the protagonist, I want what I can get in this world.
If when you think like this, the spirit is easy to fall into, and even start to think about what to say. How can I feel happier in this world, think of some things, will be happy, angry, and drooling. Well, this theme is what you want to write.
Young people, especially those who write by writing, often feel that they are unique and think differently than others. But this is wrong. Humans are group creatures, and you are the same as many people. Thinking, wanting, seeing what makes you happy, seeing what makes you angry are all the same.
So, when you have this story as your protagonist in your mind, you have a very pleasant and fun time. For example, you think of going back to the past as an emperor, three houses and six courts, playing with maidens, and letting countless women kneel there waiting for you to make you happy. Then you write about how to use the emperor's identity to enjoy beauty. If you want to go back to the past and discuss things in the past, get happiness in the war, and make China the strongest country in the world, and feel happy like this, then write about the war-like emperor.
Remember, your story must make you feel happy, excited, and have countless fun in bringing you into the lead role. Such a theme is the one you are suitable for writing. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, whether you have professional knowledge, or whether the words can be described. What you write is the story you want to happen to yourself. This is the most effective and easiest way to choose a topic.
When your subject matter can touch yourself, you can also touch other people.
Special note: Some topics no matter how you like it, but the general environment does not allow you to write it. There is no future for you to write it. Maybe you will be invited to drink tea. Here, I list the themes that are strictly prohibited in the starting point.
One: Any subject describing the wheel.
Two: At any time after 1921, works of the older leaders of the party and the country appear or real events appear. For example, a certain author writes directly that he collects Mao as a younger brother and Zhou Zhou as his staff. Someone directly constructs a political party and confrontation. Truth be told, even if you do n’t have a brain, do n’t blame the starting point.
Three: Official essays or counter-texts, where the real place or central officials appear. Countertexts can only be written to municipal officials. At the provincial level, only the deputy governor level can appear. And it is strictly forbidden to appear real local names or provincial names. Any description of corruption involving the central government is strictly prohibited. Including the spouses of the children of the central leadership and former leaders in reality, if the real surname is described in the book, then congratulations, your book will be deleted.
Four: Command the modern squadron, destroy the Japanese and destroy the Indonesian.
Five: Describe the dispute between China and North Korea.
Six: Writing about modern or modern ethnic issues.
Seven: Anything that is too much about Islam.
Eight: It is strictly forbidden to mention June 4th.
Nine: Overhead works are strictly prohibited from appearing in countries with the same name as in reality. Such as China.
Ten: It is strictly forbidden to appear in the book.
■ Newcomer's Guide to Online Writing (Character Shaping)
As a newcomer author, pull his spirit back from the fantasy world. Remember, wipe off the saliva left by the corner of your mouth because you saw the beauty in fantasy. Put away your thrill of marrying Bill's daughter in a fantasy and getting rich and living a luxurious life. Do n’t just go out and think that you are a national hero just because you thought you ’d take your army to sweep Japan. If you are hungry, soak up a bowl of instant noodles. In order to change the instant noodles to hamburgers, you have to sit in front of the computer and post the things that make you happy in your brain on the Internet to make others happy, and will buy you hamburgers for this happy feeling Money.
With your own topic selected, the next step is not to rush to write a few thousand words and send it online. Then I dreamed at night. My book clicked a million, and my collection was full of flying. The editor of the starting point followed each one and said, big, sign up. Strong push, push middle push, simplified and traditional chaos version, the same as about.
Basically, I understand the author's confidence and feeling at this time, just like when you buy a two-dollar lottery ticket, you will think of winning the prize. No one thinks they are unlucky before things happen, and 90% of the writing will think that what they write is interesting, valuable, and will bring benefits to themselves. Of course, the scum that was plagiarized purely from the beginning was not among them.
Having a theme is not a novel, especially one that can be used to sell money. Everyone has learned the three elements of writing in elementary school, and many newcomers I believe have also read a lot of writing guides. For example, a writing guide written by American authors that was quite popular not long ago, and beside my bed is Mr. Lao She ’s writing experience.
But here, I want to tell the authors whose first step is to serialize novels on the Internet. You can read them, but you can ignore what is written in the writing manual. Our goal is to write novels that we like and can be used to exchange readers' money on the website to buy hamburgers, rather than the painstaking efforts of the great Mr. Cao Lu.
Again, this article is aimed at authors who like fantasy and writing, and who also want to use writing in exchange for income, rather than writing astounding articles, and hope that celebrities have always regarded money as dung. Business author, I am not qualified to tell you how to write.
There are basically only three kinds of online novels, especially long online novels that often have more than one million words.
First, with character shaping as the main part, the plots are all for the purpose of highlighting the character's personality. In this regard, the masterpiece that introduced me to online writing, "Fengzi Story" is very representative. No one can remember the graceful plot, which is over four million words. But the graceful character makes you forget the plot and still remember it deeply. Another classic work, "Purple River", is also a classic example of character-guided plots. Most of this writing and loyal readers have a lot of anime reading habits. I call it anime creation. Regarding the advantages and disadvantages of anime writing, I will mention them in later sections.
Second, the work is driven by the plot, the character's character is vague, the book's theme and plot structure are the core. The character is only part of the plot. Generally speaking, authors who are deeply influenced by traditional writing methods like to adopt such writing methods. This kind of writing is also more difficult than the writing that takes character shaping as the core.
Third, take into account both, not only can have a plot that is sought after, but also a character with a clear personality. Well, I was able to write a work of this level in the first part, let me call it a genius. Anyway, among the more than 40,000 authors who have such a starting point, it is probably less than double digits. So, new authors, realistically, give up the third one.
For newcomer authors, I encourage you to use the first one to start with characterization. Frankly speaking, the plot of the novel, the difficulty of innovation, and the speed of imitation will make people stunned. But is it a cliché plot that no one looks at? That's wrong. For example, the Cinderella complex of women, the safari complex of men, and the plot of war are eternal.
But since it is old-fashioned, why can readers be paid for similar stories that have been read countless times?
That is, when readers like this role, they will be attracted by the role. The same plot under different character roles has a different sense of reading.
Of course, this is not for you to copy and paste. In the future, I will talk about some reasonable and legal methods of borrowing works. If copying and pasting such a stupid thing, congratulations, your goal of letting readers pay is harder to achieve than eating Northeast cuisine and drinking beer inactive every day without gaining weight.
Looking back, let's talk about how to create a popular or personalized character. However, other personalities are overdone. For example, the character of a certain self-proclaimed primary school student's book character makes the starting point editor dare not sign his book, which is not worth it.
The shaping of a character is essentially the shaping of a character's character, or the character's face. How does a character's character let readers know? The tone and lines of the conversation, the handling of the encounter, are different from the behavior of others.
In this regard, anime is the best teacher. What, you just watch H Man, then when I did n’t say it.
New authors always want to write a world with a complex background from the beginning. Um, a continent, a lot of things such as what race and emperor group, and a lot of messy characters, without writing tens of thousands of words, even the character name race is in a mess.
In fact, when a book was originally conceived, the protagonist was identified, generally male. If it is a female protagonist, I admire your courage. But on the current network, the possibility of using a female protagonist to become red is really pitiful. Well, it's almost the same as the chance to buy a football lottery in 13 games.
We have determined that it is a male protagonist, at this time, we must determine the character's personality. Character, surrounding environment, ability. With these three points, basically one character is roughly there. At this time, it is necessary to highlight the special character of the character. Here to remind everyone that appearance is also a kind of character setting. If the protagonist you set is a beautiful boy, think about how to express it.
Most of the authors use character attraction, for example, the younger sister sees him in the heart, and the next time he sees him, he thinks that he is a real dragon. This so-called stallion, the king's spirit, actually wants to show the characteristics of the protagonist itself. Don't think that this is outdated and can't be written because of the constant criticism of the stallions and kings on the forum or in the book reviews. Good at using, it is still very attractive to readers.
But premise, give the protagonist an acceptable explanation, such as the classic sweet potato is a model. (From I am a teacher, although the quality of this book is average, it has a great impact on online business writing.)
But because most of the authors use stallions and king spirit, it is more popular if they can go further on this basis. For example, in the popular novel "Legend of Evil God", he became a double doctor at the age of ten, which is a successful example. Such a talented person is definitely welcome. The reader has subconsciously accepted the countless possibilities after the protagonist because of this very unreasonable setting.
However, newcomers often make the mistake of writing that the protagonist is an ordinary person, or originally uncommon, but hopes to be an ordinary person. As soon as this setting came out, he wrote that the protagonist's charm was infinite, which caused countless sister heroes to bow down. The reader will subconsciously think that he does not want to be ordinary, why is this so? This unreasonable feeling will cause many readers to get stuck in this book directly.
Many serious newcomers will start to think that they need to be very rigorous and reasonable, so that they can write a good book. So let me tell you, this is pure nonsense.
There is nothing more absurd and credible in this world than magic, rebirth, self-cultivation, and changing history. Since readers do not even hesitate to accept this kind of thing, then how abnormally they can accept it. But remember, the fallacies are the same. If there are n’t even the fallacies, then it ’s really not saved.
Just like the beginning of a book, the protagonist's net worth is trillions of dollars, and the pocket money is hundreds of millions per month. Then someone asked him to knock on the door, so the protagonist opened the door. In this regard, the net worth of several trillion US dollars, pocket money of several hundred million, is absolutely ridiculous, but it is acceptable to most readers. Because, for readers who have not been exposed to a really large number of real life, it does not matter if the number is larger than a certain number by one or two zeros. Anyway, at this time, they would not think of Comrade Bill Gates as the richest man in the world, and his net worth was only tens of billions of dollars.
But when such a rich man lives in a unit, it would make the reader feel unreasonable to open the door in person. How can this be the case with money? Although it is basically difficult for a newcomer to write about the richness of a rich man, even if two old peasants talk about the emperor, he would say that he must eat meat buns every day instead of saying that the emperor eats the nest.
So when setting, especially when writing the protagonist of fantasy novels, the principle is to give yourself a reason for being in this environment. Then give a character's character range in this environment.
Of course, I am not against saying that when a newcomer writes a book and sets a role, it does not need to be reasonable. But remember, this is never the focus of character setting. Rather than thinking reasonably, it is better to think about how to make the character fit.
Strengthening the characteristics of the character In terms of character characterization, there is a common and always useful thing is that the character is great and powerful through the mouth of the enemy. Well, I do the same for writing books. Because when readers are devoted to reading a book, they feel that what the enemy said will be more shocking than the character thinks. Going a step further, it is through a large number of enemy dialogues to highlight the role identity environment. This way of writing is easier to remember than to describe on the side of the character.
One thing to remember about character setting is that current readers hate cowardly and hesitant protagonists. Unless your writing is as good as blue crystal, don't try to write this kind of character setting that has high requirements for creation.
When setting the character of the character, it is best to give him a prominent point, and then often mentioned from different populations in the future, or the protagonist often uses a behavior to express. In the past, there were evil smiles, tiger body shocks, etc. Of course, it is better to change some new words now. In fact, you can add more pen and ink on it. For example, Lu Fang, the actor in Miss Feiling's Tian Lu Feng Yun. The rude orangutan of the actor in "Fashion Story", the popular character Hante's greed, Niel's great strength, and the explosion of Ailing's manufactured items. They appeared in the book, and mentioned these characteristics almost every time. Repeated many times, it also gives readers a very deep understanding of these characters and their identities.
As for what point to give, it doesn't matter. When writing, you can think about what kind of actor you like, and then let your actor like this.
But a popular way of writing in anime writing is that the protagonist is used to develop the plot, the supporting role is to show the character, the enemy is shining, this character must be simple. In this way of writing, the characters are clever, wise, and deeply complicated, and that is to find a way out. Not to mention that readers do n’t like it, the possibility that the author can finish it is pitiful.
After setting the character of the character, it is best to think of a few sentences that can represent the character of the character, and often say it, so as to deepen the distinctiveness of the character.
At the beginning of writing, don't set too many roles at once. It is best to limit the number of characters to a relatively small range at the beginning. Write large scenes from the beginning. Many characters, the readers are tired of reading, and the author is also tired of writing.
The reading of online works is high-paced, especially in the early days. The protagonist's debut should be within three chapters, and within one or two chapters of the protagonist's appearance there is a small one that can express the protagonist's character. This is no longer the era of "Swordsman", you can tolerate a supporting role in the book's early scenery for a long time. Even if the author wants to drag the manuscript to mix words and click, it is best to do such dangerous things after your readers already have a certain inertia after 300,000 words. Now that you ca n’t see the starting point, whoever is interested in watching you slowly let some idle people wait out.
After the Datang Ssangyong, many newcomers like to write more protagonists. Under normal circumstances, it is not an author who is against the sky, and multiple protagonists mean that you are done.
■ Newcomer's Guide to Online Writing (Outline Setting)
When we reviewed the works of the starting site, the most used word for a book that was worth signing and had commercial value was called smooth and rhythmic.
This leads to a problem that online business writing has always been controversial. Why is a book that many people think its characters are thin, the text is simple, and the logic is full of mistakes, but this book can be very popular, selling those books The author who thinks that the well-crafted work has changed into a rabbit and has scolded the reader's quality level all day long.
The question here is, what is the essence of online business writing?
From the perspective of me as an editor, the plot, stable updates, characters, and text are arranged in order. Among them, text is the least important and the most important. The plot is the foundation of the online work.
To some extent, online readers are the best readership in the world and the most tolerant readership. They will not blame you for the typos in your work, they will not be wrong because of the character description in your work, the plot setting is inconsistent, and they will not even blame and abandon this book because you have written the wrong name.
What they want is just a smooth story, some characters that can satisfy their little fantasy, even Facebook characters. Basically, they can be satisfied with unmodified text. Throughout the world, you can't find a reader who is so easy to meet and requires so simple.
When faced with a reader whose needs are so simple, and hope to gain income on the Internet, authors who make money by writing ca n’t satisfy them is your fault, definitely not the fault of the reader.
So when sitting in front of the computer, I want to write a long, sellable novel, determine the subject matter I want to write, think about the main characters, what should I do next? This is also the time when newcomers are most likely to make mistakes.
The essence of the novel is the plot and characters, the two complement each other. If a book can do both, have novel and attractive plots, and create highly successful characters, then as long as the author is not as lazy as a turtle, the book's redness is destined.
But we are talking about newcomers, especially those who just read a lot of books, have only written essays or essays or even commercial copywriting or various reports, and have never written long or short novels.
Then this time, don't rush to write the opening of your novel, but write something called an outline.
Newcomers and even many elderly people feel that the outline is useless. We often encounter such authors, very clearly tell the editor, I am going to write two million words, how do I know what will happen in the future plot? With such a long book, it is natural to know the subsequent development. I always wanted to write on the same day, and even thought while writing.
Believe me, no matter what a newcomer thinks, he will not understand that writing is actually a very painful thing that takes a lot of energy and time. Before you write, or after writing a few thousand words, you will not feel bored with the things you write and the pain of not being able to write.
But after tens of thousands of words, you will find that the future development of what you write is blurred. The plot story is impractical, and the sense of failure that you do n’t know what to write will drive you crazy. Coupled with the fact that the newcomers were not red at the time, no one saw the anti-writing emotions, and the red ones were scolded to combat the emotional writing. Coupled with the feeling of exhaustion that cannot be written, this is the easiest way to appear in writing, and it is also the first front line. It is a magic obstacle. In our experience, 30% of the eunuch's works fall here of. This hurdle is the first dragon gate.
With the outline, it is easier to pass here, knowing what your subsequent plot is, and when you do not know what to write, the outline will become the pillar to support you. You can read it to recall your passion for creating this book, what kind of story and plot you want to write. It can even be recalled why I thought that this book could be red and turned into income.
Even if it is an old author, after writing hundreds of thousands of words, the creativity and passion of this story have disappeared in the passage of time, and there is an outline that allows the author to end better, without simply ending. The reader was scolded by the reader.
Another point is that new authors often write off their own themes. For example, good sports, but it will jump out of cultivation, magic super powers and the like. Or it was obviously an adventure, but suddenly a lot of campuses and the like came out. The highlight of the original work was missing in such a corner. And there is an outline, which is very helpful for the author to grasp the overall work.
Having said the benefits of so many outlines, how can you write a suitable outline?
Or some authors say that I wrote tens of thousands of words for the setting, from the world composition to the production of a pistol. Isn't this a good outline?
So here is my clear answer, setting is not equal to the outline. The outline is essentially a skeleton that constructs the imaginary plot and the relationship between the main characters. The subsequent writing is to enrich the skeleton with words. As for the details, that is not what the outline needs to pay attention to. You can write that the protagonist has nothing to do with the gold to pay the bill in the restaurant, or you can write that millions of troops fight the dogfight. But these things are not what the outline needs to consider.
My personal outline is to use time as a framework to frame the time the protagonist experiences things, and then decide the ending. This is the general outline I used. Then for each large paragraph, about 100,000 words or so, a more detailed outline will be drawn up. Make sure that you are mainly writing those characters.
Fengyue Street, as I have written now, currently has about 500,000 words, and the main line outline is about 5,000 words. Determine the protagonist's character, origin, start and end, and the main enemy. Then there are three paragraph outlines, each about 1,500 words.
Believe me, when you write a story with a thousands-word outline before writing, it will be of great help to the author. The outline is not good or bad, as long as you can determine the main line of your work. As long as you are willing to write, there will be a suitable outline. Remember, the outline is the main line of the story you describe.
In addition to the outline, as I said earlier, many authors like to write a lot of settings before the plot of the work begins. What country constitutes, the continental environment, ethnic distribution, battleship configuration, etc. However, in the Internet age, how can readers have the patience and obligation to read a lot of boring, no plot explanatory text. Well, maybe the author is still aggrieved. I wrote that it is set. Can they start from the main text? Didn't I want them to watch this?
My answer is, what are you doing? Readers often read books from scratch, especially new books, and they often click in by accident. But clicking on the reading page is a lot of boring materials. At this time, ten readers, at least five off pages leave. Even if you write settings and then work hard, you should not post them in your own work. I have been at the starting point for so long, and I have never read any book that has been set up for a long time.
The setting is best in the plot, with a little disclosure to the reader. On the one hand, readers who mix information in the plot are more easily accepted, on the other hand, they can also fill in their own word count.
There is another serious problem with too many settings. As for the starting point editing department, every book over 30,000 words will be displayed on the editing worksheet. The two editors cross-check, according to the content of the first 30,000 words of the work will be divided into, worthless, follow-up observation, focus on follow-up, signed four items.
Afterwards, only the editors who follow up the work will always pay attention to the plot development of the book to see if it has the value of signing. If a book opens 30,000 to 40,000 words, and then the editor reads a lot of setting information, the content is pitiful, basically it is directly classified as worthless. So at least I want to develop at the starting point, writing a lot of settings in front of the book is suicidal behavior.
Starting point recommendation list guide
Each professional and unique recommendation list is a starting point for a special landscape. For readers, each recommendation list gives them a guide to choose from 10,000 books. For authors, each recommendation list It is the best publicity for his work. The following is a brief introduction to the principles of starting the various manual lists and automatic lists.
1. Manual list:
The starting point manual list mainly includes cover recommendation, strong recommendation, Sanjiang recommendation, middle column recommendation, album recommendation and page cover recommendation. Among them, the first three are the most prominent in terms of the publicity effect of the works and the reader's reading influence. The following mainly introduces these three recommended principles for listing.
1. Cover recommendation:
Located on the most prominent position on the right side of the homepage. It has been on the list for two days. It has unparalleled promotional effects on other lists. Almost all tweet works can easily enter the weekly click list. Therefore, the requirements for cover recommendation are also the most strict . The main principles are as follows:
Starting point signing works, the starting point judging committee chooses to review the works themselves.
Starting point review committee: all editors of starting point editing department and starting point station director.
2. Strong recommendation:
Located on the left side of the home page, the recommendation effect is second only to the cover recommendation, and it is also the most conventional and main recommendation method for the starting point. Strong push cycle: one week, time to change list: Sunday. The principles for making the list are as follows:
The starting point is to sign the work; the word count of the work should be more than 100,000 words; the author who has tens of thousands of words to save the manuscript is preferred, and sensitive works are not recommended. Five of them are jointly selected by the starting point editing department, and the remaining ten are arranged according to the date of receipt of the agreement.
3. Sanjiang recommends:
Located on the right side of the homepage, below the cover recommendation, unlike the push recommendation, Sanjiang's recommendation is mainly for new books. The push cycle is one week, and the time to change the list is Sunday. For details of the principles on the list, please refer to the announcement of Sanjiangge Forum.
Second, the automatic list:
The starting point list includes total click list, total recommendation list, total collection list, total word count list, monthly click list, monthly recommendation list, weekly click list, weekly recommendation list, new book list and the recently added wisdom brain recommendation system. Among these lists, it is worth mentioning the newcomer potential list and the new book potential list. For the new book, being able to have a place in the new book list is a very rare promotion opportunity.
■ Question and Answer for New Writers
Since the development of the original literature website, it is no longer the same kind of congregation-like site that was limited to a small group of people a few years ago. With the continuous birth of excellent works and the rapid growth of the readership, online original literature has gradually formed another A variety of literary trends, the successful operation of the works and the initial development of the domestic simplified market have added more worthy of attention to this revolutionary trend. More and more professional or amateur writers have begun to participate, but Wanting to break through among the many giants who have become famous has also made it more difficult than it was a few years ago. Often after hundreds of thousands of words of hard work, only a few clicks and recommendations are exchanged. It is the spectator who feels cold when looking at it. Does it mean that only the lucky ones can be favored by readers? The answer is of course no. The main reason why it will be buried is that new writers do not yet understand the laws of this online literature market. This guide is for all new writers.
I don't expect all authors who have read this guide to be popular, but at least they can avoid some detours. However, before starting this guide, I hope that every new writer can do the following multiple choice question:
The purpose of your writing is:
A: Write satisfactory works and show them to the people you like.
B: Famous, publishing, and making money.
For the writer who chooses A, read the chapter on struggling, and for the writer who chooses B, read the chapter on survival. And friends who are hesitant between AB or want to have both, then congratulations, you can close this page directly, and point out the works that are both well-known and well-known, not your own strength.
Struggling chapter
Writers who choose this path must first have a good mentality and always keep in mind the purpose of their creation, but even so, they will still be shaken by the bleak click recommendation and the bleakness that nobody cares about, and they are cruel to self-mutilation and hardship. Struggling between supports is the future that friends who choose this path are most likely to face.
Writing itself is not a smooth journey, but to write a satisfactory work, it is to choose a bumpy path beside this avenue, which requires great perseverance and courage to persevere. Do n’t be extravagant when you click the recommendation. As for the applause, you need to use your own efforts in exchange for it.
Basically, this path can be simply reduced to the process of communication-absorption-modification-and communication.
The so-called communication refers to the communication with the readership of the work. Although the new works are not easy to show up, in general, there will still be a small number of readers who find that if they are lucky, they may encounter the love of the work from the beginning. Readers, this is the original audience. The only way to find these original audiences is to study book reviews. The reason why they are called research is because it is very important for novices to find the real book reviews under the cover of many dollars. Difficult work, so the first thing the struggling A people need to learn is to identify Wan Jinyou. No matter how magnificent the writing is or how exciting you are, it has a common characteristic, that is, it will never be embodied in any character, background, plot or details of the work. As long as you master this big principle, then the ability to identify Wanjin Oil has already reached the elementary level, and then you can hone your growth in actual combat. After discovering the real book review, you should take the initiative to contact the reader who wrote the book review. Do n’t put down the shelf. Before you become a giant, the shelf has no meaning. Only from communication can you find more about the shortcomings of your work. The place, so as to enter the next link to absorb.
It is better to absorb this link than the former. Generally speaking, the old readers have a richer 'reading' experience than the new writers. Of course, the transfer from the old readers is not included. The development of network original literature So far, all kinds of books have been multiplied by tens of thousands. The so-called reading of tens of thousands of books is not an impossible thing on the Internet. The 'reading' history is high, and the vision and writing skills will be improved accordingly. If you know yourself The shortcomings can also be targeted to improve the "read" experience.
After the absorption is completed, it has been revised, and my level has been improved. I am afraid that what I have written before is already full of holes in my own eyes, so do n’t hesitate to modify it immediately. Although the reader does not like to read the modified chapter, Why don't you care about these little things if you don't care about pushing? Perfecting your own articles is the key.
After the modification, you need to see the results and continue to communicate. However, the communication can be not limited to the reader, you can also consult other authors who have known during the absorption process, and then repeat the same process to continuously improve yourself as long as the work Good enough, it will always be recognized by people, and it will have its own fixed audience. As long as you can persevere, you will be able to complete a work that satisfies you.
It seems very simple to say, but it is not easy to do in practice. The four words of loneliness are probably the vocabulary that the little A must understand. However, the author who can complete it has also received a kind of spiritual tempering, and the completed work definitely has its glittering value. One day it will be recognized and will shine.
The end of the struggling road may be hope or nothing. Without enough courage and endurance and knowledge of yourself, do not choose this path easily.
The struggling road corresponds to ideals. Pursuing ideals in reality is not a romantic and freehand thing, but the people who complete this path, no matter what they get at the end, are a kind of success.
Chapter of survival
The writer who chooses this path is a very realistic writer, but this path is even more cruel for newcomers. There are unique rules on the Internet on the Internet. For newcomers who do not understand these rules, the debut can be one. The chance of becoming popular is almost negligible. Whether we can survive on this path is the reality that editors must face. For editors who have chosen this route, clicking on recommendations and collecting is their goal. The following guides are all given on the premise of this goal.
One of the survival cheats: save the manuscript.
Newcomers who write for the first time will often make such a mistake, that is, how much is written and how many are not retained. This kind of mistake has no effect on the small A, but for the editor, such a mistake is often fatal. Generally speaking, new works are not completely unnoticed. Some old readers and contract editors of various websites are dedicated to staring at the new books that appear every day, hoping to discover promising works, but initially released It ’s not realistic to get a few chapters to invite. Of course, it is even more undesirable to send out hundreds of thousands of words at a time. It is meaningless and wastes valuable updated manuscripts on the Internet. In order to ensure uninterrupted updates, and update is the second article in survival cheats. Generally speaking, for the writers who have experienced the failure of their debut films, most of the second works were updated on the Internet after writing 15-20 million words. You may wish to pay attention to this number. About 200,000 words is equivalent to three sets of traditional edition or a simplified version of the book. If this book is released without attention and no one cares, it can be quickly ended. This is also one of the skills that editors must master.
Survival Cheats II: Update.
How can a new book get enough attention? Update, only update, that is, increase the chance of appearing on the home page will expand the readership, but the number of updates is directly related to the number of manuscripts in your hand, and the number of words updated daily is also related to a pair of new works. It is also a very learned matter to say that the most important list is the new book list, with 30,000 words on the list and 150,000 words on the list. The first is the number of updates, which should not be too much, nor less than twice a day, especially for new books, works that are updated within a certain period of time will not appear on the home page. If this rule is not taken into account, update There will be a lot of losses at the end, I suggest that the editors do experiments to accurately grasp the impact of time on the update. Second is the updated word count. Most of the previous works are 3 ~ 5k in length. With the increasingly fierce online competition, the 2K party gradually replaced the 3K party, and even the 1k party is popular. Individuals do not recommend the 1k party. The number of words in a chapter still has its own basic standard. Once below this standard, readers will doubt the author ’s attitude. For now, the 2K Party is already the limit of the reader. A chapter of more than 1,000 words will It is understood by readers as disrespect, and this short-term benefit is still not good. The last is the update time. This should be tied to the number of updates. Editors may wish to pay attention to the length of time that the updated works in each period can stay on the homepage, update them as low as possible, and extend themselves as much as possible. The time the home stays. I won't talk about the specific time period, as everyone knows it makes no sense. Everything has to fumble for yourself.
The third secret of survival: advertising.
No matter how hard you try, the new work is still easily buried in the sea of ​​books. The most effective means of publicity on the Internet is advertising. Keep posting to the forum to tout yourself as an inferior advertisement, but it will be bombarded by fatigue. Produces melatonin effect. Advertising in the forums and book review areas is only a little bit higher. It may not have any significant effect. The smartest thing is to join the community. There are many big brothers in the new work league, and many strong books will be included. Advertisement fields, communicate well with the seniors in the forum, you will easily get advertising opportunities, including some of the advertisements for the works recommended on the home page. If you have the opportunity to get it and grasp it well, it will greatly accelerate the growth rate of your readers. Of course, the new work alliance has more benefits, and consulting famous authors will also benefit from writing experience. This is no longer an era of dull creation. Only communication can get the latest information and more opportunities. The more friends you make, the more chance you have for your work. But one thing is very important, we must ask for advice in good faith, otherwise it is meaningless.
Survival cheats # 4: signing contracts and homepage recommendations.
The ultimate goal of the editors is to make a profit, then signing the contract is the only way. As long as the standard for signing the contract is reached, apply without hesitation. In addition to signing the contract, Sanjiang recommends you to choose, but pay attention to push The editors have a small chance of being selected. Do n’t care if you choose or not. Signing is the ultimate goal. The attitude of applying for signing should be sincere. Do n’t rush to apply repeatedly in a short time to avoid giving the editor a bad impression. If you miss the opportunity to sign a contract, you can ask for the contact information of the review editors, and communicate directly to understand the soft and hard flaws of your work. If the contract is successful, then the first step of the goal is completed. If it is not successful, don't hesitate ... Brave the knife well. Remember the path you choose, there is no way to bring material benefits to yourself, there is no need to continue to stick to it. After signing the contract, the editor will fulfill the contract and give you the opportunity to recommend on the homepage. At this time, you are welcome to use all means to actively contact your editor until you have reached all the recommendations you can get.
The Fifth Survival Cheats: Listing and Post Promotion
The main profitable way of works is the subscription income of the chapters. The shelves of the works are proposed by the authors themselves. The main data to be considered for the shelves is the number of collections. Generally speaking, the number of subscriptions and the number of collections is about 1:10 on average. Use the income you want to get to decide when to put on the shelf. After the shelf, there are also some promotional opportunities for the works that are on the shelf. You are welcome to continue to trouble your contract editor. The speed at which chapters are lifted is also a very worthy study. It is not advisable to lift the ban too fast. If the speed is too fast, the subscription will inevitably decline, and it should not be too slow. If it is slow, the collection will drop. Write more and explain less, read 5,000 words and send 10,000-word chapters, so as to ensure the continuous increase of your subscriptions, and there are some small methods such as changing free chapters to promote, you can learn by yourself.
The Sixth Cheats of Survival: Publishing and Agency
The profit that the electronic version can win is generally less than the revenue from publishing, and the editors are all working hard with the goal of publishing. For newcomers, they often encounter some enthusiasm when they have just appeared. 'People', under the banner of major publishing houses, to actively contact, in fact, most of these people are scammers, even if there is indeed a publishing channel, they will also draw a large amount of intermediary fees while helping you. Personal advice is still Do n’t easily believe that the publishing agency is good. Signing a contract with the website is a relatively stable method. The website itself will help the author to publish. However, unlike the intermediary, the website itself does not charge intermediary fees, and if the book has a market, the website It may also be possible to buy out works. Although it may seem to be a loss at first glance, a stable life of counting money is better than paying attention to subscriptions.
The above six points are the cheats for successfully passing the road of survival. However, the cheats are only software, which can only reduce some difficulties. It is the work itself that really determines the fate of the work. Choosing a theme is first and foremost a test. Although it is generally not too miserable to follow popular trends, it is not easy to get a big red. The best way is to lead a new trend, but this requirement is too high for novices. Secondly, we must also understand the grasp of readers' tastes. The readers of online works, the main purpose of reading books online is to seek a free time. Bringing too much thought will only affect the reading fluency of the works and clearly understand their readers. What is needed, what is not needed is a necessary ability of a selling author.
The road to survival corresponds to reality. There are many real people in this world, so competition is also fierce, but the tangible material benefits that will win from the success. This is also the most attractive part of the road to survival.
summary
This guide gives two extreme directions. In fact, most of the authors did not clearly understand the purpose of their writing before entering this line, so they will feel that it is too stupid to choose a struggling road and choose to survive. The road is too utilitarian, but the people wandering between the two roads are often the ones who get nothing in the end. Those who have both can't meet them. It is the most practical way to clarify their goals early. I hope this article can give you novices a real help.

In the history of signing the contract, many writers who are engaged in literary writing have died of hunger and cold. If there are really gods and gods in the world or God ’s Holy Spirit in the west, do these heavenly rulers really envy these human soul chants, Does the curse of poverty treat those who are engaged in literature? Do not! Such a history should end him forever. As the most fashionable and energetic original literature of this era, he should not be allowed to remain in the shadow of poverty and nobody. Because in this era, we are the most concerned star of the era, and we are the spiritual focus of much attention. Perhaps in the past we had nothing but cheers and increasing clicks, but today we have the starting point in Chinese and his, and we will escape the curse of God from now on, and we will hold our destiny firmly in the end. Act quickly, join the starting point Chinese and become the starting point author. Perhaps in the near future, you will become Tolkien, Jin Yong and Huang Yi in the new era. If you are still hesitating, if you do n’t know what it is, then you must carefully read the following explanation, because there will be only one such opportunity. 1. What is the starting point of contract signing: future masters. If your work has been approved by most readers, and also by the editor of the starting point. Then you can try to apply for starting point to sign the starting point agreement. After signing the contract, your work will become a work with the starting point excellent work logo. And the content released in the future will be charged for reading on the starting point platform. And for the first time, you will get a generous reward from the starting point through your excellent writing skills. You don't have to wait for the long review time like traditional publishing, and you don't have to wait for the same long release time after review. As long as you are, then you can receive the remuneration from the starting point every month. Second, how to sign the starting point works: 1, of course, first of all, you have to become a starting columnist. 2. Then quickly apply for a contract in the starting point writer's area, and the administrator will contact the author after reviewing the work. 3. What you will get from the starting point of the contract: 1. It may be a rich electronic version of the remuneration beyond your imagination. Because the starting point currently runs the most successful commercial novel website in China and has the largest number of paying user groups in the country. At present, the scale of paid users has exceeded the 150,000 mark, and the monthly remuneration is nearly 2 million yuan, which is more than 100 times that of similar domestic websites! As of the beginning of December 2005, nearly 20 authors earned more than 10,000 yuan in the month. According to the 1,000-character remuneration, the average remuneration for authors who have completed the word count (20,000 words / month) per month reaches the standard of nearly 40 yuan per 1,000 words, and the maximum remuneration for a manuscript exceeds 300 yuan (1,000 Taiwan dollars). Such a high remuneration income for manuscripts is not inferior to the traditional publishing industry in Taiwan and the mainland, and it is even higher than that. At the current moment when the publishing industry on both sides of the Taiwan Straits is not in a good position, the sudden emergence of Chinese as a starting point is like a timely rain, giving the new and slowly-shrinking Chinese novel publishing industry new vitality. At the same time, in addition to surprises for authors in terms of remuneration, Starting Point Chinese also provides excellent authors with additional awards and free travel incentives. Various care measures are meticulous and considerate, which enables our authors to devote themselves to the ocean of passion for creation with fuller enthusiasm. Although we do not want to advertise our success, we have to point out that. Although there are many websites currently engaged in publishing, whether it is in the care and support of the author, or in the case of the author's most concerned about the profit situation, the starting point has been far ahead of other sites. The degree of leadership is not even reasonable, and a gap of more than 10 times is usually a common phenomenon. (Off-topic: If you have been paid 500 / month in some places, would you consider starting from a high-income life with a monthly income of 5000?) 2. Get better and more effective work promotion and publicity The current starting point in Chinese is a large original portal with a daily PV of up to 50 million. The title of No. 1 in the world is definitely not a bragging of starting point self, but an objective fact supported by many third parties and strong data, and the traffic of starting point is still growing rapidly, which is expected to be close to the level of domestic mainstream portals by the end of this year . Therefore, all works promoted from the starting point will get satisfactory results that exceed expectations. The starting point will do its utmost to promote and publicize the signed works. The scope involved is not just at the network level. The depth, intensity and scope of promotion are definitely not comparable to any other website. If you want to be an excellent author with a very high reputation, then signing the starting point will be your best choice. 3. The dream of fulfilling the book successfully, although the starting point provides a very good return on manuscripts. But it is still the ultimate dream and desire of each author to transform his work into type. The agreement in the starting point is very user-friendly, which retains the copyright rights of simplified and traditional Chinese for the authors, and reserves the best channel for the authors' publishing road. And Starting Point Chinese also has many excellent publishing resources on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In Taiwan, Starting Point Chinese maintains a close cooperative relationship with six to eight publishing houses. There are many famous publishing companies in Taiwan such as Xinchang Publishing House and Adventure Paradise. Therefore, the starting point of all contracted works will be recommended to the Taiwan publishing house at the first time, and the publishing house will also give priority to the publication review of the starting point works. So far, starting point Chinese has published more than 100 novels in Taiwan. And this recommendation is entirely from the starting point Chinese to provide care services to the authors. The author has never been charged any intermediary fees. At the same time, the starting point has been fully supported by all the publishing resources of Shanda Company. In 2005, the starting point has cumulatively published and co-published more than 50 simplified works. Starting point will carry out large-scale simplified publishing for the domestic publishing market in 2006. The starting point novel will Officially entered the domestic market. Just like the goal of the starting point, the goal of our publication is also the first in the country. Joining the starting point is the first step for authors to truly step into professional authorship and carry out book publishing. And the speed of this step will change a lot, a lot ... 4. The most trustworthy credibility guarantee and the best development opportunities For all the things built by the above starting point, it is based on the strong Chinese background resources and On top of the best business reputation. From the perspective of the company's operation, the starting point is a member of the US Nasdaq listed company Shanda Networks, which owns the world's top accounting firm for financial audit and supervision. All the announcement data are clear and true, and the monthly payment is monthly Payments arrive in time, and will not use various channel excuses to deduct and arrear the author's remuneration. The settlement of the starting point and the author is completely calculated according to the reader's subscription. The so-called channel fees are fully borne by the starting point. The sales volume is transparent, the settlement method is clear, and there is no ambiguity. The author can accurately and timely understand the reader's reaction, and the personal income tax on the author can be adjusted to the lowest level in the same industry with the help of professional tax experts. From the grand original literary journey at the end of 2004, more than 70 domestic top online masters gathered together, to the launch of the program of the million-year salary of professional writers at the starting point in 2005, and the promotion and promotion activities of youth campuses across the country. The signing authors of the starting point have been Enjoy the joy of success that accompanies the starting point. Following the starting point can help the writer's dream and follow the starting point to achieve success. This is already the author's consensus! Starting Point, as an excellent literary website, always takes a long-term view of the original literary career he is engaged in. Although profitability is the foundation of the starting point of the company's healthy survival and development, it is by no means the purpose of the starting point of Chinese development. We always insist on helping and supporting authors, innovating and serving readers, making fantasy literature mainstream, and enabling online writers to truly base themselves on the original goal of the literary field! We worked so hard when Starting Point Chinese was a small website three years ago! Three years later, the starting point of Chinese is already the world's first Chinese literature website. We still insist on it. In the past three years, things have changed. How many famous literary websites have been closed down, and how many authors have fallen into the publishing trap because of a sudden impulse to choose a good person by mistake. In the end, it is hopeless to publish, or published but has no revenue, nowhere to ask for remuneration. Starting point Chinese is anxious in my eyes. It is precisely because of witnessing too many such cases and lessons that it has prompted the starting point of Chinese to develop desperately. Here, we assure you that we are not engaged in a short-sighted three-year career, but for the next thirty or three hundred years ... Dear author friends, please believe our promise. Once again, we promise to everyone that choosing the starting point is choosing tomorrow. Thanks to all the authors and readers who support the starting point, let us be successful together!
Starting from the development to today, nearly 60,000 original books have been included, which is inseparable from the support of the authors. Now, almost every day, 100-200 new books are being applied for storage review, which makes us very happy. For this, the starting point is to further standardize the scope of the collection of new works, and the following help files are specially issued. I hope that the majority of authors will pay attention when applying for new books:
1. About the theme of the work
1. Do not write about political events in China from 1919 to 2050, famous political figures and their children. Often there are too few contents submitted for review when entering the warehouse. The editor is worried that there will be illegal content behind you, and will refuse to enter the warehouse first, let you make an explanation, and one or two visits will definitely delay the review time.
2. Although it is claimed to be a virtual background, do n’t write overly obvious prohibited content. For example, country Z, island T, island X, country J, and then write articles that involve sensitive relations. I advise you not to try it easily, even if you switch to China, Treasure Island, and Japan will be banned. The country has always been very concerned about such works, and such banned books are examples.
3. The political and military descriptions of absolute Chinese characteristics should also be used with caution. For example, what kind of chairpersons, instructors, etc., especially some aerial articles, should write about aerial, rebirth, traversal, etc. Whether it is struck by lightning, dreaming, car accident, everything is good, why Do I have to write about military combat, spies, political conspiracy, etc.? You said that you wrote China, not China. You said you did not mention what country it is, but how many other countries have such distinctive titles? The editor will be very cautious when he sees it. I am afraid that you will write something later, which will only allow you to explain clearly, make changes and then enter the library.
4. Never write about pornography. We do not welcome this kind of book, and no matter how well written it is. Some people say that I am writing about pornography. The whole book is about picking up girls, all about extramarital affairs, all about messing around, what is "Me and my 34 women", "A Romance of a Macho". You say you have no explicit description, no prohibited words? Your theme is very vulgar, who knows if you will have problems after entering the warehouse? Don't argue with the editor that the starting point has a book with a similar theme. That is a historical issue. Even for very popular books, the starting point never limits their recommendation. And now the starting point is constantly improving and standardizing these standards, so I also hope that the author's friends will maintain a good library environment.
5. Write in the name of animals. During the review, some authors wrote something very abnormal in the name of animals, such as "I am a pig", writing human and beasts, writing animal and beasts, and even questioned the editor through the administrator message that I did not Writing about human organs, I did n’t write about human psychology, why not pass? Here, we can make it clear that the starting point of such subjects is not included, so please do not upload such works.
2. About article titles and chapter titles
1. Too and ambiguous. Many people have misunderstandings and think that using words or ambiguous words as titles or chapter names can attract attention. Admittedly, it will attract eyeballs, including those of editors. The result is to refuse to enter the warehouse, please change the title. Do n’t explain that
My Adult Story
is because you are an adult, so you want to write how you grow up into an adult. If this is the case, you can say "My Growth Story". Do n’t always use lust, eroticism, and obscenity, and then explain that what I wrote is just some characteristics of human nature. You can change some traits and write it well. The works that are truly successful at the starting point are all in the smooth writing of the work itself, and the plot is well-conceived, rather than a crooked brain on the title. So please ask the author's friends to work with us to maintain the original green creative environment of the starting point.
2. Don't add anything from the league to the title. The starting point is not very fond of these cheating leagues and cabinets, please author friends to maintain their own works.
3. Don't try to spoof in the title. For example, what the starting point is Sanjiang Fengshenlu, Fengfengqu and the like, and then explain that it does not mean that. Respecting others is also respecting yourself.
Third, it is about the content introduction, body text and external articles
1. Don't appear in the introduction what alliances and cabinets and advertisements are countless. The introduction is for the reader to easily know the theme and content of your book, not for use in other parties, especially those with a lot of alliances, cabinets, and a lot of advertisements. When you enter the library, the editor will delete it directly. So please do n’t put irrelevant content on the introduction. A refreshing introduction is what readers are willing to see.
2. Plagiarism must not be put into storage, which is very clear. The starting point only includes original works, if it is reprinted, it must be authorized by the original author, and must be uploaded with the original author's author name. For the judging criteria and punishment regulations for plagiarism, please see the announcement on the homepage of the starting point.
3. Don't violate the text. The specific requirements have been clearly stated in the topic. Two more points are emphasized here: the first is about the national curse, you have to be cool, and you have to show the character's temperament, no problem, but please note that if your swearing is too widespread, this is definitely against the rules, please be respectful; It is about what is pornographic description. Do not write any sexual organs or obvious hidden names for sexual organs. Do not write about the process and the sexual psychology in the process. We do n’t accept H-texts, and do n’t try to wipe the sidelines. Our standards in this area will only become stricter and stricter. If we go too far, we will delete books or even columns when entering the warehouse. Even if you are mixed into the library, once you report it, I am afraid that you cannot escape the fate of being deleted directly. So please authors to abide by national regulations.
4. Don't appear unnecessary signature links in the external articles, counter this and that call. If you find that the book has passed the review, but many of the external articles have been stuck, then please be conscious, do not repeat it again and again. Readers are also reluctant to always see something that has nothing to do with the work. Respecting readers is respecting yourself.
4. About word count
1. The starting point for the books in the library except for the American language, all require more than 5,000 words, and three chapters are approved.
2. Please do not post the same content and the same chapter many times. Or post some nonsense repeatedly in a chapter.
3. Don't put the 2000-3000 words into several chapters and paste them up. The editor will read them, and look at the pull bar to know that the number of words is not enough.
4. Please note that the number of words we require is the number of words in the text of the work. Your original text reaches this number of words. It is not necessary for you to post a bunch of materials in the work or in the external articles. So please pay attention to these details. Let your work pass the review quickly.
Five, there are several common problems
1. About plagiarism. When applying for the review of all books, the editor will go online to search for similar works. So, don't plagiarize, you can find it, even if it is an article posted on a forum or blog. Believe me, the current search engine is still very useful.
2. About the author's pen name. Many articles are not published at the starting point, then the editor will find similar works on the Internet, and will first check the author name. Therefore, please try to use the same author name to send articles, which is also very beneficial to increase the popularity of the name. Because it is impossible to register with the same name, please also give a description in advance with the title of "Edit please see" in the work related. The editor will confirm and delete this chapter after reading it. Don't worry. This is much more convenient than leaving a message through the administrator channel.
3. Time for review. We promise to review within 48 hours, but please note that within 48 hours we are referring to the middle of the working day. Generally, if you apply from Monday to Friday afternoon, you should be able to review the results within 24 hours. But if you submit the review on weekends or weekends, we will review it as soon as possible.
4. How to ask the administrator for help. If you really have questions about storage, you need to consult the administrator, please select the corresponding issue about storage review in the contact administrator on the left of the author area, and send a text message in the station, and please indicate your book name and book number in the text message For processing. In addition to the storage issues, please send text messages to the corresponding channel, so that you can get a quick reply. If you send the wrong channel, you will lose everyone's time, because the editor responds to their respective channels. Transit, delay time.
6. What should I do after the book is rejected?
1. If you find that your book has been rejected, please do not get angry.
2. Please check first whether the number of words submitted is sufficient. Insufficient, submit again after making up.
3. Think again about whether you have violated regulations, such as politics, and plagiarism. This should be your own psychology.
4. Please pay attention to whether there is a message from the editor in the "works related" of this article. For example, there is an additional chapter such as "Please read and reply to the author" or "Identical to XX works, please explain". If there is, please explain or reply according to the requirements in it, directly in that chapter, follow The requirements of the editor can be explained later, and there is no need to leave a message in the administrator mailbox. Just re-submit the review after replying or operating as required.
5. If you find that the book has been deleted directly, and you are sure that you have not violated the content, please check whether your text box has a text message from the administrator, because it is likely that a network error caused an empty chapter in your work. Upload the work again.
Although the above content is trivial, but it is indeed often encountered in the warehouse review, here is a brief summary for your reference.
Instructions for typesetting works
For the chapters uploaded by the author, the starting point will be automatically typeset, including two spaces before the paragraph and blank lines after the paragraph. At the same time, this revision also adds the function of uploading a picture link. Please note to all authors:
1. The starting point cannot handle typesetting caused by hard carriage returns. Examples are as follows:
Line feed within the natural segment: It should be a soft return, that is, a natural line feed without pressing the Enter key. Line break between natural segments: There should be a hard return between each natural segment, that is, the segment generated by pressing the Enter key. Hard carriage return and line feed refers to the process of entering an article, each line is to press the Enter key (enter key) to write the carriage return and line feed, rather than writing through the automatic line feed function of the writing software (for example), until the necessary segment Only press the Enter key to change segments. This will look very aligned, but it can't automatically adapt to the size of the screen, so it will appear chaotic when you enter the library.
Articles entered after a hard carriage return and line feed will be typeset into the following situation (error):
I typed it with a carriage return and a line feed. I had to press a carriage return for each line of writing.
I typed it with a carriage return and a line feed. I had to press a carriage return for each line of writing.

2. The picture display function in the chapter is the displayed picture link. If the author needs to display the picture in the chapter, he must enter the name and link address of the picture. Make sure to have this picture on the Internet, not the picture. Otherwise, it can't be displayed in the machine.
3. Punctuation marks: All are full-width symbols, occupying the position of a Chinese character. Except for double quotes, single quotes, book titles, single brackets, and dashes at the beginning of lines, do not use other punctuation marks.
4. Numbers and English letters: all are half-width symbols.
5, title and author: no longer appear in the text.
■ Notes on the Sub-volumes of the Incorporated Works
1. The work sub-volume function is used to set the work volume and chapter level. A work system is divided into three sub-volume serial numbers by default-> 100, work-related 200, text 300, outbound
2. The work system is divided into three sub-volume serial number definitions by default:
1, 100 works related: you can enter chapters such as work settings, work preface, work information, etc.

4. The works included before the revision of the author's area may not contain the above three default sub-volumes.
3. The sub-volume serial number is the only sign to arrange the sub-volume sequence. When the newly added sub-volume serial number is larger than the existing sub-volume serial number, it will be arranged in the back, and the smaller one will be placed in the front.

Starting point recommendation list guide
Each professional and unique recommendation list is a starting point for a special landscape. For readers, each recommendation list gives them a guide to choose from 10,000 books. For authors, each recommendation list It is the best publicity for his work. The following is a brief introduction to the principles of starting the various manual lists and automatic lists.
1. Manual list:
The starting point manual list mainly includes cover recommendation, strong recommendation, Sanjiang recommendation, middle column recommendation, album recommendation and page cover recommendation. Among them, the first three are the most prominent in terms of the publicity effect of the works and the reader's reading influence. The following mainly introduces these three recommended principles for listing.
1. Cover recommendation:
Located on the most prominent position on the right side of the homepage. It has been on the list for two days. It has unparalleled promotional effects on other lists. Almost all tweet works can easily enter the weekly click list. Therefore, the requirements for cover recommendation are also the most strict . The main principles are as follows:
Starting point signing works, the starting point judging committee chooses to review the works themselves.
Starting point review committee: all editors of starting point editing department and starting point station director.
2. Strong recommendation:
Located on the left side of the home page, the recommendation effect is second only to the cover recommendation, and it is also the most conventional and main recommendation method for the starting point. Strong push cycle: one week, time to change list: Sunday. The principles for making the list are as follows:
The starting point is to sign the work; the word count of the work should be more than 100,000 words; the author who has tens of thousands of words to save the manuscript is preferred, and sensitive works are not recommended. Five of them are jointly selected by the starting point editing department, and the remaining ten are arranged according to the date of receipt of the agreement.
3. Sanjiang recommends:
Located on the right side of the homepage, below the cover recommendation, unlike the push recommendation, Sanjiang's recommendation is mainly for new books. The push cycle is one week, and the time to change the list is Sunday. For details of the principles on the list, please refer to the announcement of Sanjiangge Forum.
Second, the automatic list:
The starting point list includes total click list, total recommendation list, total collection list, total word count list, monthly click list, monthly recommendation list, weekly click list, weekly recommendation list, new book list and the recently added wisdom brain recommendation system. Among these lists, it is worth mentioning the newcomer potential list and the new book potential list. For the new book, being able to have a place in the new book list is a very rare promotion opportunity.
Chapter of survival
The writer who chooses this path is a very realistic writer, but this path is even more cruel for newcomers. There are unique rules on the Internet on the Internet. For newcomers who do not understand these rules, the debut can be one. The chance of becoming popular is almost negligible. Whether we can survive on this path is the reality that editors must face. For editors who have chosen this route, clicking on recommendations and collecting is their goal. The following guides are all given on the premise of this goal.
One of the survival cheats: save the manuscript.
Newcomers who write for the first time will often make such a mistake, that is, how much is written and how many are not retained. This kind of mistake has no effect on the small A, but for the editor, such a mistake is often fatal. Generally speaking, new works are not completely unnoticed. Some old readers and contract editors of various websites are dedicated to staring at the new books that appear every day, hoping to discover promising works, but initially released It ’s not realistic to get a few chapters to invite. Of course, it is even more undesirable to send out hundreds of thousands of words at a time. It is meaningless and wastes valuable updated manuscripts on the Internet. In order to ensure uninterrupted updates, and update is the second article in survival cheats. Generally speaking, for the writers who have experienced the failure of their debut films, most of the second works were updated on the Internet after writing 15-20 million words. You may wish to pay attention to this number. About 200,000 words is equivalent to three sets of traditional edition or a simplified version of the book. If this book is released without attention and no one cares, it can be quickly ended. This is also one of the skills that editors must master.
Survival Cheats II: Update.
How can a new book get enough attention? Update, only update, that is, increase the chance of appearing on the home page will expand the readership, but the number of updates is directly related to the number of manuscripts in your hand, and the number of words updated daily is also related to a pair of new works. It is also a very learned matter to say that the most important list is the new book list, with 30,000 words on the list and 150,000 words on the list. The first is the number of updates, which should not be too much, nor less than twice a day, especially for new books, works that are updated within a certain period of time will not appear on the home page. If this rule is not taken into account, update There will be a lot of losses at the end, I suggest that the editors do experiments to accurately grasp the impact of time on the update. Second is the updated word count. Most of the previous works are 3 ~ 5k in length. With the increasingly fierce online competition, the 2K party gradually replaced the 3K party, and even the 1k party is popular. Individuals do not recommend the 1k party. The number of words in a chapter still has its own basic standard. Once below this standard, readers will doubt the author ’s attitude. For now, the 2K Party is already the limit of the reader. A chapter of more than 1,000 words will It is understood by readers as disrespect, and this short-term benefit is still not good. The last is the update time. This should be tied to the number of updates. Editors may wish to pay attention to the length of time that the updated works in each period can stay on the homepage, update them as low as possible, and extend themselves as much as possible. The time the home stays. I won't talk about the specific time period, as everyone knows it makes no sense. Everything has to fumble for yourself.
The third secret of survival: advertising.
