I recently met a diligent writer and had a great time chatting with him. Every day he discussed some difficulties encountered in novels and looked for solutions together. When writing, find a like-minded literary friend to work with. Moving forward is important.

She said: The biggest difficulty now is racking your brains to think of the plot every day. In order to write about octopus reproduction, I watched an octopus video for an hour. It made me sick, but that chapter was really well written. There is an immersive feeling.

I said: You should collect more ingredients at ordinary times. If you have more ingredients, you will naturally produce good dishes.

Her: With two kids, she doesn’t have time, and the materials she sees become dusty whenever she puts them away, and she can’t find them again.

Then I will share some of my tips.

It is not easy to find a plot that is full of contradictions and tailor-made for your own novel, so it requires precise analysis.

What you hear and see every day can be put into a novel. The most important thing is to record it deliberately.

1. Interesting things around you

Hear interesting things from other people’s chats when you go out, today’s hot news, foreign anecdotes, solved cases, children’s words, plots in books...

The content of other people’s chats can serve as a basis for character creation. In the car, I heard an aunt say happily that she was wearing new clothes and was going to dance. Her tone and expression were super cute and real. , the hot newly released good material, I immediately wrote it down in a unified notebook after I came back, and took it out directly when there was a similar plot.

We should pay more attention to the gifts that life gives us.

I heard an interesting story in the car. A boy said that he had always liked a girl in the company, but when he confessed his love, the girl also liked him. It was a coincidence. Everyone was happy. If Some contradictions and conflicts are added into it, and the two people finally fall in love after many twists and turns. Isn't it just a short story? And the boy's expression and tone still echoed in my heart after a long time.

When you collect deliberately, your impression will be more profound, and you will never forget it even if you want to. When you look back at your notes, your emotions will fluctuate, and when your emotions stir, your writing will be true and sincere, and your articles will be infectious.

2. Hot News

Celebrity gossip, the plot is really unimaginable, Zheng Shuang's surrogacy, Huawei's little princess debut, BABY Huang leader Li Fei'er's scandals It's more than a great performance, not to mention some third-tier UP's "performances" that are more transcendent of human morality. Some are even carefully polished plots. Just take out a paragraph, change the names and backgrounds, and it's enough for you to write.

Such a ready-made plot is much better than making it up with your brain, but it is much better. If you adapt it reasonably, it won't be too far behind with all the twists and turns. But please note, don’t be addicted, be sure to be sober, and go with the purpose of collecting plots, otherwise it will be easy to get confused, and you will be unable to control yourself like taking drugs. After eating the melon, your hands will be empty and you will find nothing. You must look for the most important point.

3. Foreign anecdotes

I need to write about supernatural powers in my novel. I don’t want to write it so fantasy. I want to slowly transform from the real world to another imaginary world. I found it. Many foreign cases of real people having superpowers after being injured have been added, and the degree of integration is much higher.

Many fantasy novels also incorporate real events, half truth and half falsehood, to have higher credibility. You can record the events you see that can be incorporated into the novel.

4. Real cases

Some crime-solving documentaries only show the process without the thoughts and psychology of the parties involved. They are supplementary and complete, helping to restore the original appearance of the case and adding some attractive details. The element is suspense novels, which are much better than illogical designs. After all, real people and real events are far more twists and turns than we imagine.

5. Find now

Some information can be found instantly. You can find it at any time. The Internet is so developed. As long as you have accurate keywords, you can't find anything?

If you don’t know how to extract keywords, go to Taobao to find a search power course. Practicing long-term data search is also a skill. You can quickly and accurately find the information you want, which can speed up and save time.

6. Searching in the book

The passages and plots in the book require the ability to revise, extract and analyze the outline, and then break it up and reorganize it. It must not be like some integrated As a meme master, if an innocent person becomes famous, is stripped naked, and has no creative ability, it is better to use real people and real stories to avoid any hidden dangers.

Adaptation requires abstracting the background, shaping the characters, and reshaping the plot. This ability needs to be exercised.

7. Cut off the beginning and end, and refill the stuffing

Recombine three to four events. There is nothing new under the sun, it is just old stories and new ones. Event, this is an advanced skill and requires some practice.

I once bought 1.5 gigabytes of data, but I haven’t classified it yet. When I need to use the data, I re-categorize it.

Learning to classify is very helpful for writing, and writers must have a database, otherwise it will be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

For example: people have seven emotions and six desires, and people’s living conditions include clothing, food, housing, and transportation. The broad categories include scenes (scenes and scenery), characters (10 to 80 years old, and then divided into men and women), and golden sentences Famous quotes, good words and sentences, cases (divided into men and women, food, work, life, study), descriptions of props, descriptions of psychology and consciousness... these are probably the categories.

Curtain, simple and clear, easy to operate, easy to find

Put all the materials into categories, only into major categories, and no more than three types in one category, so that your mind will not be confused , as long as there are more materials, they can be processed, adapted, and applied without exhaustion.

If you want to write for a long time, you must have a material library. Without a material library, as soon as you sit down at the table, your mind will go blank. The focus has gone away again, and I have found excuses for my inability to persist.

Yesterday I read a survey conducted by an UP owner at Station B. More than 120 flag writers must update it daily. After two or three months, less than 10 insisted on updating it daily. We have achieved good results, but most of them have fallen into disrepair. What is even more ridiculous is that some friends have updated a chapter, set a flag, and then stopped writing. That is to say, the update is stopped earlier than the flag is set.

Writing is a long road, and persistence is the enemy. As long as you retreat, you will advance. How can you fight a tough battle without complete preparations?

The above are ways to find materials to help with writing. Friends, there are better ways to leave messages. When it comes to daily novel updates, I have not done it, but self-media daily updates have done it. After all, the family has two treasures. , the time to write every day is really scarce, and more time is spent on studying and reading. I hope that babies who have the ability and time will be better than mothers like us, especially young friends, and write well while they have plenty of time. After having children, I can only haha.

Pay attention to not getting lost, share your experience, and move forward together, come on! If you have any friends who want to help each other, please let us know and we will form a team!
