Steel Steam and Flame

I didn’t have time to write yesterday, so I’ll make up for it today.

The first is about asking for leave, two days, Thursday→Friday, and starting on Saturday. Volume 2—The Iron Queen’s update.

I originally wanted to take a day off and start updating tomorrow, but after looking at it today, I found that there is not enough time in one day, and it is stuck on Thursday, so there will be insufficient preparation. The daytime on Friday and Saturday is just right to sort out the materials in the last volume and sort out the necessary things.

So please forgive me for taking two days off.

The other is a summary.

The first point is its own state. It is indeed very bad, I can feel it, and I know it is caused by the influence of my own work. This year, especially during the period after the Spring Festival, several audits caused a lot of work to be piled up at once, and there were too many audit materials to be prepared, which was really tormenting.

Now from the end of March to the beginning of April, the things at hand have decreased a lot, and I finally feel a little more relaxed.

I hope that I can recover after that. The main reason is not to work overtime, and not to be consumed by other things at work, so as not to only think about rest after work. I will actively adjust this aspect.

The second point is about the sixth volume, the new world under the heavy rain.

This volume was originally an overuse, a transition in all aspects, so when writing, the description of high-level surgeons was actually deliberately avoided. Of course, the next volume will not do this,,,

In addition, when introducing some background, in other volumes, because such cases are relatively rare, I was not alert. But in the sixth volume, because it involves a lot of introductions to the background of the world, I have a deep impression-only relying on the form of dialogue to introduce the background, it is indeed easier for me to write (with quotation marks, the content is written in it) It’s ok), but I also feel that the look and feel will not be good.

In the last volume, I will try my best to avoid such a situation, and change the dialogue form into a paraphrase or a third-person description, which should be better. However, regarding the background introduction, there will not be many in the last volume.

The third point is about the last volume, the seventh volume, the final volume, the Iron Queen.

Some regrets, the update can never be said to meet the standard, quite a feeling of stop and go. As a long-term project, from 2016 to 23 years now, if you don't count the time, you really haven't thought about how many years have passed.

Here I suddenly thought of a sentence written in "Reviews on Shelves" - the early stage of writing a novel depends on interest and enthusiasm in the heart, and the later stage only depends on responsibility. Looking back at this sentence now, I find that there is indeed a huge gap between what others said and what I actually experienced.

Now to say this sentence again, it should be—in the early stage of writing a novel, I rely on interest and enthusiasm in my heart, and in the later stage, I still rely on interest and enthusiasm. As for responsibility,,, there is no responsibility at all,,, responsibility can be removed at any time, it is just whether you want to or not, there is no reliability.

Compared with passive things like responsibility, it is true that active interest, enthusiasm and love are more useful. One is to force myself to write, and the other is to always want to write something every day. The difference between the two is completely different.

Up to now, there was a time when the enthusiasm was cut in the middle, but the more I wrote to the end, the more excited I felt. Maybe there is an element of the end. After all, after several years, no matter how I feel that I have finished writing a story, no matter how good or bad it is, it makes people happy for no reason.

As for the content of the last volume of "The Iron Queen", I won't say much here. Of course, the last volume will also actively fill in all the pits with the greatest effort.

That's all for now, updates start on Saturday.

Thank you for your continued support.
