The number of words in this volume exceeded the length of the word. The original outline was estimated to be 250, but it flew directly to 4000.

It seems that in the later stages, before you really start writing, you cannot estimate the length of the threads well.

Therefore, the expected number of words for the finished book must also be increased, from 300W to 310-320W, and then, I guess I need to pay more attention to the length issue afterwards.

Share a latest experience: After having a little writing experience, I became more and more aware that the number of words written in each volume and chapter is not a "task", but a "cost" (this is not the paid cost of readers, that is, the author's writing cost) - every update, I have to use this "fuel" or "bullet" fixed for every few thousand words to push the plot forward the expected distance in the expected direction. Otherwise, once it is dragged and dragged, the control of the entire large structure will become very uncomfortable, just like water will make the fuel and bullets damp.

In fact, according to the original idea before signing the contract, this is already the last volume.

Yes, this book is actually finished. Don’t keep the books and you can slaughter it (crossed out).

If it is a general outline structure for urban entertainment themes, the protagonist will advance all the way and reach the top of the last/several world's top events, and basically finish the main line.

If you have the rest, use chapters 5-10 to clean up, do what the protagonist wants to do, explain the results of the branch and secondary characters, and then release the afterglow of the emotions to freeze the ending in a picture or a line.

Perfect.

However, the current situation is obviously not an urban entertainment novel. There are several big jobs that were originally designed and have not yet started yet.

Therefore, the actual node of the fifth volume is before the "Chapter 5-10 of the original cultural and entertainment theme". This division method is different from each previous volume. In the past, there was a big transition between the volumes, so the emotional aftertaste of the ending is released more, and the picture ends is stronger. The fifth volume and the following text are directly connected, without transition.

So it is not ruled out that some people may think that the charge is too fast. If you have this feeling, it is probably caused by the change in the segmentation point, but it doesn’t matter, there is still the following.

Of course, you can still regard the ending of Volume 5 as an IF line that ends with "" as an IF line. If you think about it this way, the final content of the HE ending of the following chapters 5-10 will be restored by yourself according to the above prompts.

Then, as usual, I will talk about Mahler's "Symphony 5 in C minor".

Similar to the book, the creation time of this symphony was also at the turn of the century, 1901-1902 under the industrial wave, or the continuation of the humanistic thoughts, "end of the century".

This period of time was a watershed for Mahler's artistic career, because all aspects of his life had obvious changes, and there are three main aspects that are worth mentioning.

The first aspect is anti-Semitism.

Similar to Fanning's "Summit" ending in this volume, the early 20th century was a period when Mahler's status as a conductor and composer gradually reached its peak.

But it is also the historical moment when the anti-Semitism in Europe grew the fastest.

Although the anti-Semitic origins of the entire German-speaking region have been around for a long time, since the 1880s and after more than 20 years of progress, this trend of thought has completely turned into an organized and organized political movement in the Austro-Hungarian Empire region.

"From 1897 to 1907, although it seemed to be the ten years when Mahler was at the peak of his career, it was during this decade that Mahler felt the great pressure of being a Jew more deeply."

——Klaus Fisher, "Anti-Semitic History of Germany"

Therefore, there is no need to repeat what the ubiquitous control atmosphere in Volume 5 is in.

Especially in the ending celebration day, why did Fanning suddenly think of "Black Beijiu"? Anyone who understands it understands it.

The second aspect is the experience of death in a substantial way.

In early 1901, Mahler suffered from bleeding from intestinal ulcers. According to his letter to Richard Strauss, "it was a "fatal bleeding" and I lost 5 liters of blood." He even said, "I feel like I'm not having much time."

Of course, looking back, after a series of treatments, the result was no danger (just as readers know that the protagonist will not be halfway through when reading the novel), but this time, the experience at the Gate of Hell definitely further deepened Mahler's shadow on the narrative of death. After he recovered, he immediately returned to his original command position, and was more impressed by the urgent urging of the artistic mission, which accelerated the creation of the symphony.

The background of this real experience in the Ghost Gate, in Volume 5, "Fanning took a trip from the abnormal zone and returned" is an echo, and it also corresponds to a series of real death threats such as the authorities' interview, the assassination of a cruise ship, the personal pick-up of Bogleridge, and the incinerator tour.

The third aspect is the emotional line.

On March 9, 1902, Mahler married Alma, which should be the only thing that can bring pure happiness and joy while experiencing the mixed troubles of his career peak and anti-Semitism attacks.

This mood is directly reflected in the fourth movement "Little Soft Board", and this mixture of great sorrow and great joy is fully reflected in the artistic conception of the entire "Fifth Symphony" that is intertwined with "the struggle between light and darkness".

So as an echo and tribute, some of the sugar that should be posted in the plot should still be posted.

However, in general, the tone of the final completion of the "Crescent Moon" volume did not break its promise. As the initial trailer said, it was a return, a great victory, from suppression to promotion, and a more biased towards the conventional "cool" feeling of online literature.

Although there are always some unknown ghost things in the dark, there is no very confusing plot, and the progress is mainly based on Fanning's A and hard work.

I just want to get a battle axe.

The plot mentioned earlier that everyone has been looking forward to and is popular with, and the ending is completed.

I wonder if the book friends who abandoned the article in the third and fourth volumes will return to read the day. Maybe there will be some people, and I am willing to think about it this way.

Due to various subjective and objective reasons, the "Crescent Moon" volume has been written for more than a year. The most important related event during this period should be the release of the Himalaya audio book and theme song of "". I sincerely thank Liu here and everyone's production team.

There are many reasons for gratitude, but the most important point is that I feel that the real world and characters I have tried my best to create has a more realistic progression - although it is still different from reality, for me, while listening to audio books, I feel as if I have touched something I have never touched before.

This year has also happened a lot and changed a lot for me personally.

Thank you to everyone who has been with you all the way.

"The results and style of "" are probably basically established. During the process of writing the fifth volume, in some painful moments, I once had the idea of ​​"It's better to finish the book like this", which is not considered a bad ending. Isn't it just that the IF line is turned into a regular basis, and who doesn't love the ending of HE that makes dumplings?

Not only in Volume 5, similar thoughts arose when I wrote the previous volumes, but after all, there are differences in the nature of the two - if I lose in Volume 2, 3, or 4, it is called cutting the book and running away, but now it is a "serious" (crossed out) complete book, and the text distance has become closer.

But in the end, I didn't make this compromise and decided to continue writing according to the outline.

The main reason is that if I compromise, it seems to go against what I said in my comments on the listing, and the original intention of "The Book of the Book" and signing the contract that I have described seems to no longer exist.

So, as the author, please withdraw from the IF line's reverie and continue.

All the preparations and branches should have been opened, and the next step is the closing. The main line has entered the middle and late stages. The rhythm will be faster than the next volume and the length will be shorter.

Volume 6, the name of the volume is "Trace", which originates from the "Sixth Symphony in A Minor" of Mahler's same name.
Chapter completed!
