Chapter 77 – General Store Mid-Late
78.
-Interim review of the work that only those who are really bored can see-
(Still, I wrote a long review, so I copy-pasted the same haha ;)
Hello, this is writer Triple F.
I wrote this because I wanted to leave a review in the middle of the work.
Actually, if you look at other people who lightly skip 100 or 200 episodes while rushing through 2 or 3 episodes a day, it might be quite a fuss to write 77 episodes and leave a midterm review.
So it doesn’t matter if you think it’s just the writer’s useless complaint and pass it on.
I haven’t worked so hard on anything in recent years… It’s because the writing I write about myself has some personality.
I’ve never published a novel before.
When I was in middle school, I did scribble down mass market in my notebook.
So this vulgar, hardy, vulgar, third-rate nonsense is also my first serialized work. Thinking about that makes me very sad.
To be honest, I have a grandiose dream (don’t laugh…) And I have a very strong ego, but being like this means that I’ve put everything down.
Yes. To use an analogy, an elite in his 40s leaves the company with a big heart, runs a business, and eats mercilessly. Then, next to his wife who sells sundae, he is reprimanded by saying, ‘You can’t do that properly?’
This novel called ‘Agent of the Goddesses’ is a novel that I started hastily because my life was on fire.
I don’t want to go to school all the way, and since I’m getting older, I need to make some money. I hope it goes well. It was just that mindset.
In fact, at first, I was thinking of a martial arts work without eroticism, but the setting was a revenge drama in which you barely survive, return to the family that put you in danger, take revenge, and kill the people involved.
However, when I tried to write it, I felt that my overall knowledge was lacking, and the conclusion I came to in the end was
It was ‘I can follow it, but I won’t do more than instant’.
So, I changed my goal to ‘earn pocket money by writing nonsensical stories set in a suitable different world’ and started right away.
I didn’t want to rationalize that it’s okay if it’s a bit lacking because it’s my first work, so I tried to refer to it by finding 4 or 5 references of successful nonsense.
Certain words that I think are bad.. Breathing.. Timing and spacing.. These details. I’ve done a lot of research on my own, but I’m really grateful that there are some people who say that I’m not good enough, but I’m really good at it.
Instead, the problem that arose because of this is that there is no development, only rice cakes.
When I tried to write a novel properly for the first time, I immediately faced difficulties, but it took at least 4 hours per side to fix every little thing. Many took up to 7 hours.
(I ate half of them with worries)
It really tasted like death. Fortunately, it’s over in 4 hours now.
In particular, I started with a first-person perspective to increase immersion, but I soon realized that a lot of thought was needed to achieve the desired portrayal.
In the first person, the use of surrounding objects is almost essential.
For example, ‘Wait a minute, it’s hard to describe this, but you can’t see it from the main character’s point of view?’
In the case of a well-written first-person narrative, ‘Screen open-‘ or a crystal ball make me an observer to some extent, quenching that thirst, so such a crystal ball appeared in my novel.
The first-person sex scene was also quite troublesome.
One rule I try to abide by as much as possible while writing sex scenes is,
It is ‘following the shooting camera’.
The reason is to increase the level of immersion so that the video can pop into your mind as much as possible.
‘But there’s no way I can see Cecilia’s lewd face from this angle right now?’
If the camera (Raoul’s two eyes) is not visible, how is the facial expression, what are you doing, and if you describe it, there will definitely be readers who will feel a sense of difference while playing the video.
(Of course, there are times when I just pass it over, saying, “Even if it’s a bit lacking, I’ll be able to get over this level of camera misalignment.”)
So, after erasing the sex scene she wrote with tears, she corrected her posture again, and looked in the mirror so that her lustful face could be seen…
Or that women actively enjoy sex and naturally turn their heads to make eye contact..
Is it to be described through the faces and lines of the daughter and mother, who are third parties?
If not, did you describe it like ‘I couldn’t see it, but it seemed like it was’ or ‘It was obvious when I heard the voice.’
In addition to that, to make the scene memorable enough, I try to explain by repeating the points that become points such as ‘looking up’, ‘looking down’, ‘orange hair’ and ‘doing XXX’.
However, it seems that there are times when my frustrating serialization cycle and slow development tempo break up and make readers forget. I will try harder.
It got long because I wrote it line by line, but anyway…
So, to conclude, this is it.
I will work hard, so please take good care of me in the future. (_ _)
Aye, ten million won.
