Secondly, there should be a plan before writing, the characters in the novel should be obvious, and the general plot of the novel should be clear. In order to avoid the novel being shelved when there is no idea in the future.
Finally, if you suddenly have inspiration when writing a novel, you should put this plot in the novel appropriately, and don't have that kind of nondescript situation.
The following is the process of writing. Everyone should pay attention to the plot of the novel, which I posted on the Internet. I think it makes sense:
It was love at first sight. There are three ways:
▲ Arouse suspense and interest. For example, the sentence at the beginning of "Clouds" is somehow uninteresting, and even the top of the mountain is covered by a cloud.
▲ Cut to the chase and enter the plot. Often the beginning is a dialogue between characters.
▲ Implicitly speaking, the winding path is secluded. Often describe the scenery, set off the bedding, have care and bedding.
Pay attention to the plot and try not to talk nonsense and repeat words, which will make readers feel disgusted.
There are three basic structural types:
▲ twists and turns.
① Single-line twists and turns, full of twists and turns. For example, Wang's "Puffer Fish" describes the process of a farmer who committed suicide because of poverty in the social background of the 1920s and 1930s: he got back the poisonous fish and saw the children in high spirits; Afraid of seeing the horror, I came back to see my wife and children waiting with a smile; Eat and die, but because the fish has lost its toxicity, it will still be painful to die.
② Two lines intersect and are connected internally. One person and two things, or two people; It can be two bright lines, or one bright and one dark, which set off each other. For example, in Xiaoxing's Summer Diary, the father made up fake materials and the son wrote fake diaries. After the father beat and scolded his son, he had to smile bitterly when he wanted to write materials again.
(3) Repeated circulation, seeing differences is the same. For example, in "Wonderful Cyclic Inequality", there is only one vacant seat on the bus, and the conductor does not let the old lady sit, but let the "head" sit. After the driver got on the bus, he drove the "head" away and asked the manager to sit down. The manager's mother-in-law is an old lady. Another example is "All Blind". A pair of young people are madly in love, get married and divorce, and see a pair of blind people holding each other's hands.
(4) Before and after the contrast, bimodal confrontation. For example, after an amateur author wrote "Change", he published two manuscripts in a row, and the unit leaders held different attitudes.
(5) If you want to improve, you should suppress it first, and if you want to suppress it, you should improve it first. The former takes "Yang" as the main body, but he first wrote on "inhibition" and suddenly turned to "Yang". The latter is the opposite. This has produced unexpected plot development and strengthened the artistic effect of complementary opposites.
▲ Re-meaning and re-meaning. Miniature novels should be big with small hints to achieve the sublimation of meaning; To talk about the meaning beyond the image, the implication will arouse the reader's imagination. Mainly used: ① symbol. A concept or another image is implied by concrete objects, but it only plays a structural role, unlike the central image described in poetry. For example, in Muzzle, when a reinstated leader shot his prey with a gun given by others, he learned that the "muzzle" that came in through the back door was also aimed at him. Pun. For example, in Unapproachable, it is written that college students who have not worked hard for ten years are not as good as those who have poor jobs, so they are "incomprehensible". 3 metaphor. For example, in "Blowing the Banquet with Guns", it was written that the little grandson set off firecrackers at the banquet, and the new manager whose grandfather was in his forties set off "guns": "You are not a county magistrate when you are eighteen! Dad became a factory director in his early thirties! " 4 ellipsis. This is a blank metaphor. For example, in Falling Fruit, the old doorman was beaten out of the jujube tree at the door after retirement. He wrote to the factory director: "Even dozens of gluttons can't be managed, but the factory is still in charge." Then, the plot of the factory director's campaign to rectify the factory atmosphere was omitted, and it was written that the master received a pack of red dates the next year.
▲ Adopt the specialties of other styles and artistic schools.
The ending should be clever and "look back and smile". There are three main types:
▲ Make the finishing point, echoing from beginning to end. For example, "Floating Clouds" failed at the beginning, and there seems to be a cloud on the peak, and the cloud at the end is gone.
▲ Come to an abrupt end, implicit and meaningful. For example, the 200-word Calligrapher was invited by the director at the calligraphy exhibition, but he wrote two famous words: "Agree". Faced with amazement and demands, he had to say helplessly? Quot can write these two words well ... "This ending is full of charm and artistic cells.
The above two endings can only arouse the readers' short-term excitement, and the best ending is:
▲ Surprise and excitement. That is, the "O Henry ending" is characterized by "cleverness". The whole layout serves the ending. The reader thinks that the plot evolves eastward, but the result is westward, shaking the burden and showing the cards. This ending breaks the usual structural technique of plot development, gives people a sense of freshness, deepens the theme and increases the capacity. The well-known "The Gift of the Magi" is like this. A poor couple took pains to give gifts to each other during the festival, but it was useless to take them out at last: one sold a gold watch to buy a comb for his wife, and the other cut off her long hair to buy a watch chain for her husband. Another example is the "Window" in Australia. The patient by the window paints the beautiful scenery outside the window for the patient in the corner every day, adding luster to the pale life. But the patient in the corner found a good position by the window from the ruins. When he looked up, it was just a high wall outside the window.
