Here are some key points for beginners in web writing: - [Clear goal and theme: Before you start writing, you must first determine your goal and theme for your web novel.] - ** Construct a worldview and character **: Web novels usually require a rich worldview and character setting. - ** Confirm the outline **: The outline doesn't need to be too complicated. Just write down the names of the main characters, supporting characters, and the main storyline. - ** Grasp the rhythm **: If you write for the purpose of making money, you have to write with an explosive rhythm. For example, on Tomato, the three golden chapters had to follow certain rules. The first chapter would establish the main storyline to let the readers know the main character's goal, and add a shock point at the end to hook; the second chapter would show the main character's ability to create a cool point; the third and fourth chapters would increase the shock effect and deepen the rendering. They also had to show the main character's strength through others, and the hook would continue at the end. - ** 50,000 or so to see the real chapter **: Many articles can be judged by 50,000 words or so. When the book shortage occurs, try your best to promote it and combine it with the daily data. If the bookshelf is more suitable, continue to write. If it is not suitable, consider cutting the text or changing the poison points (if it is not for the situation of love). - [Find long-term expectations: To avoid the novel having only short-term goals, you should bury a "long-term expectation" at the beginning of the novel that can run through the whole text, so that the framework of the novel is more complete, and avoid problems such as the subsequent plot filling up and the decline in follow-up reading.] - ** Choose a suitable platform **: You can go to various platforms to test the waters and determine the platform that is suitable for your creation according to the platform's tonality and revenue. Doing research in the early stages can save time. - [Learn from popular novels]: Learn popular novels by breaking them down (use tables or mind maps to record important time nodes, emotional turns, macro story summary, micro character details, etc.) to cultivate your ability to outline and expand. - ** Inspiration expansion **: expand inspiration into an outline and then into a story, expanding from the four dimensions of tone (theme), setting, character setting, and cause and effect. In addition, if he wanted to write a good web novel, he had to consider his own situation. If it wasn't for his love for writing and just to earn money, the online novel industry might not be an ideal choice. This was because even if the low-level authors signed contracts, the initial royalties would be relatively limited. Newbies could start writing books as a side job, and only consider writing full-time when the royalties were enough to support their living expenses.

Here are some tips and examples for novices to start a novel: ** 1. Create a suspenseful opening ** - ** Technique **: Throw out a mysterious event, character, or situation at the beginning to arouse the reader's curiosity and make them want to continue reading to solve the mystery. - " Late at night, the abandoned old house suddenly lit up with a strange blue light.

He knew that there was a secret hidden inside that could change his life, but what he didn't know was that there was an even greater danger hidden behind this secret." ** 2. Starting with a conflict ** - ** Technique **: Start with a fierce conflict, such as the conflict between the characters, the conflict between the characters and the environment, etc., to quickly capture the reader's attention. - ** example **:" On the battlefield, smoke filled the air. General Li held a long sword and glared at the enemy general opposite him." Today, either you die or I die!

Scenario-style opening ** - ** Technique **: Draw a unique and vivid scene so that the reader can quickly immerse themselves in the story's environment. However, he had to be careful to avoid long and complicated descriptions of the environment. - "In the lively market, people came and went, and all kinds of hawking sounds rose and fell. Fresh fruits emitted an alluring fragrance, and colorful cloth fluttered in the wind. The peddlers were fighting over one or two copper coins, and in this bustling crowd, a man in a black robe was quietly watching a little girl." ** 4. Conversational Beginning ** - [Technique: Start the story with a wonderful dialogue, and reveal some key information or draw out suspense through the content of the dialogue.] - ** example **:"'Are you sure you want to do this?' Old Zhang frowned and asked. I have no other choice. Little Wang replied helplessly, a hint of determination in her eyes. Old Zhang sighed deeply. He knew that once he started, there was no turning back." ** 5.
