Chang'an is good

The book "Chang'an Hao" is the longest book I have written since I entered the industry. The "long" here refers to both the length and the serialization time.

If you are a reader who has been with me all the way, you may be able to tell that this is, in a sense, a brand new attempt of mine. In fact, when I first started writing, I was just passionate about it. I had no idea what I could write...

I had the urge to write this book when I heard Shang Wenjie singing "The Ballad of Mulan" by chance. The inspiration from Nezha cutting his flesh came together and suddenly gave me the urge to fight passionately to defend my country.

After I started writing, I found that it was completely out of my comfort zone. I really overestimated my own abilities... War, political intrigue, etc., really killed me in the beginning. I was looking up information almost every day. Before turning on the computer, I had to write out a detailed outline with pen and paper (each chapter took 1-2 hours to prepare the detailed outline by hand). Now I have a box of A4 notebooks at home, all filled with dense handwriting (but the handwriting is ugly and flying. Looking back, I can't understand what I wrote (ω‖))

In addition to the subject matter and information, this book also drew me into strong emotions, the characters' emotions, feelings for the country, etc. It is no exaggeration to say that I often wrote with sweat and tears, and I was often moved first, but after thinking about it, if the plot cannot convince and move me, how can it convince and move the readers?

But it was really exhausting. Sometimes after finishing the battlefield plot, I was so immersed in it that I felt as if I had participated in it. I felt emotionally and mentally drained, and my energy was almost exhausted. Then came the long insomnia. Every day when I closed my eyes and opened them, the things that came into my mind were definitely related to the plot writing.

Sometimes it seems like I have experienced the lives of all the characters in the book. No matter what, I really love them very much, especially Ningning.

This book has received a lot of comments from various platforms, both positive and negative, but fortunately there are more positive comments. Often, because each reader has different ways of thinking, the same plot will have completely different feedback, and I am still thinking, trying to find a balance, hoping to make myself a little better.

If I really can't find a balance, then I hope I can still write stories that I personally like and let the stories choose their audience.

It’s just that sometimes I can’t help but feel anxious. Stories with strong female protagonists and female heroes often face more intense criticism and scrutiny due to the market audience. And now the times are developing too fast, and the same opinions and views may be wrong tomorrow, so I didn’t do it perfectly yesterday, and I hope you will tolerate it.

I am just an ordinary storyteller. Looking back at myself many years ago, I often feel that my brain is full of water. But many of us grew up this way. Before we awaken to the correct consciousness, we are shaped by the environment. No one is born perfect. I hope we can all be more perfect and independent, and treat the differences between yesterday and today, as well as the female friends around us, with a developmental perspective.

I will also work hard to continue learning. Please supervise me if I find any shortcomings in the process. If it is my problem, I will correct it.

thank you all.

My next plan is to finish writing the next novel, "Sui Shi Lai Yi", which is an unpopular short story. After so many years in the industry, I can still write stories I like, which means that I still have the desire to express myself, which is very precious. I am very happy and satisfied.

The arrangement of the long ancient Chinese novel will probably be after the Spring Festival. During this period, I plan to adjust my work and rest schedule, exercise and gain more tendon muscle.

So I wish you all a happy new year˙˙

The rest seems to have been expressed in the story. I am really long-winded. Thank you again for your companionship for two years. I am grateful for every vote, every message, and every genuine subscription. I am grateful to every boss on the book club list! I wish you good fortune and good health! )
I also wish our motherland a happy birthday, and wish our country prosperity, our people health and lasting peace!

:Salute∠(｀ω*)
(Finally, I would like to ask for monthly votes from everyone. Thanks to everyone's love, this book is ranked fourth in the annual list. It is easy to fall after it is finished. There are still a few months to the end of this year. Please throw a vote into the bowl when you pass by. I will count on you to keep it in the top ten of the year!)
