Let's talk about writing a book

First of all, let me state that this single chapter does not attack or imply any other author's meaning, it is just my thoughts.

One time, Xiangniang and I were quietly writing and chatting, and we came up with a topic: Why does your protagonist play basketball?

My first thought at the time was, what else could I play for, but to make money?

But it seems wrong to think about it. If you have traveled through time, why would you choose such a difficult job to do instead of taking shortcuts, just because you are writing about basketball?

So my thoughts actually changed a lot at that time, including later writing more and more stories about stars. I found that this is indeed a topic worthy of discussion, such as Durant’s coach, Westbrook’s

KB3, Caron Butler’s drug dealing, etc.

This is also where I think the early setup of the forwards is flawed. If there is another basketball article, I will improve it.

Then there is what I want to say today. As authors, besides making money, what else can we do.

The readers of the novel have a wide age range, and many of them are teenagers.

Sometimes, in order to pursue the pleasure of reading, I will write about fights, trash talk, and even low-speed driving, but I always feel that a book still needs to convey some correct views and thoughts.

For example, in this book, I want to write about the meaning of the existence of basketball, or the existence of sports.

Laue's examples, including Butler's story that has not yet been released, are actually telling one thing. Sports are the life-saving straw for people at certain times. It can make people positive and optimistic, and it can also make people feel positive and optimistic.

People see the meaning of existence.

Just like the Mamba Mentality, I will also make fun of it in my book, but in fact, for many people in difficult situations, it is indeed a spirit that supports them, never retreating, never giving up.

Create miracles amidst difficulties.

This was also the original intention of me finally giving up writing systematic articles, because I gradually learned that there is no shortcut to success, and only realistic writing can resonate more.

Then, I want to talk about writing a book.

Realistically, when I wrote about Invincible, I inadvertently wrote about the emotional burst when Tang Tian left the Spurs.

I never found that feeling again until later. When I wrote and talked with Quietly before, I found that I was missing one of the most basic things: emotion, such as my real desire for this Suns to win the championship, and

Not because I wrote about the point in time it needs to win.

Writing a book requires skills, but emotion is more important.

Just like I want to share a little story with you, many people know about Caron Butler’s death from the championship, but few people know how much Butler’s injury inspired the Mavericks. In the game when Butler was injured,

LeBron James simply bent his knee back 3 inches, walked off the court without support, and then spent the rest of his time working like crazy trying to come back in the playoffs.

Although he failed to do it in the end, his spirit was a huge inspiration to the Mavericks. This is actually a manifestation of emotion.

The Mavericks' championship in 2011 made many people know that basketball is not a simple mathematical addition and subtraction, it covers many, many things.

Finally, let’s talk about writing quietly, and of course his blacksmithing.

Many people will criticize him, and many people even say that it is unreasonable for him to kill Jordan.

But in fact, if you actually read this book, you will find that he has done a lot of foreshadowing, and the final ending is a burst of emotion (the subsequent plot is similar).

So when real readers see it, not only will they not feel it is inconsistent, but they will have the idea that it should be that way.

What I want to say is that he is already a relatively mature author, much better than someone like me who is still exploring.

He should be an object to be learned from, not an object to be jointly attacked.

So the last thing I want to say is what I want to say.

There are really not many readers of sports articles, and the degree of overlap is very high. Many people may not read them at the beginning but also look for pirated copies.

The book Blacksmithing has attracted many readers who have never read sports articles but prefer two-dimensional reading.

So how to write better and keep those readers is what we authors should think about, instead of asking readers to do multiple-choice questions.

I have been very angry because of this matter before, but people actually have two sides. If we show the benign side more, maybe this category will become bigger, instead of getting smaller and smaller like it is now.

The above is a piece of water eggplant that inspired me after writing the book.

Finally, I would like to state again that I do not have any connotation or intention to attack, I just want to happily live every day of writing a book.

Just like when I first published the book, everyone was happy to interact with each other. I think that kind of atmosphere is very good.
Chapter completed!
