About
I am not young anymore, which means I have to arrange more time for thinking.
Meditation is also a very good thing for people who love words and thinking.
A novel is like a source code of a program, the difference is that novel is more intuitive to read.
With just a few words, a dynamic picture can appear in your brain, the effect is even better than VR,
there is no delay and pause, and more importantly, no additional expensive hardware is required,
and it is super environmentally friendly.
Reading the text, you can imagine the faces of the characters.
Certainly, On my blog, I use tools to design characters so that it's easier for you to imagine the personality that fits the character.
You may imagine the mentality and demeanor of the characters in different scenes.
You may take the initiative to think because novels are source code, You can give full play to your imagination,
which is completely different from the movies and TV shows that have been compiled into the final product.
Reading novels is a form of thinking while viewing end products is a form of entertainment.
All novels start with some basic elements.
On my blog, I will show in detail all the elements, characters, places, objects, etc. that appear in the novel.
Since it is a basic element, I will not describe a single element in the same detail as a novel.
This makes these elements more extensible, and they are not more restricted
What follows is my introduction to the content of my blog and some of my own subjective opinions.
I also hope to keep in touch and interact with more imaginative you, and exchange views.

Protagonist
Unlike movies, TV shows, or dramas, the protagonist in a novel is not affected by the actor's personal charm.
Just like, Sherlock Holmes ( the Benedict Cumberbatch version ) can make his fans think that Sherlock Holmes should look like this.
With another actor, fans and audiences will be conflicted, even a little confused
But these are just because of the actors.
In addition to acting skills, appearance, temperament, acceptance of fans and audience are all subjective factors that affect the protagonist's influence.
All of these show that when the novel is made into a film or TV show or other media form, it will bring aura to the protagonist or the leading actor,
The correct way to say it is a shiny rope,
It binds the actor or actress and the protagonist together in a way similar to chocolate and cream.
Still taking Holmes as an example, Watson is a very appropriate supporting role.
His role is Holmes' assistant.
Martin Freeman performed this supporting role very vividly.
However, in the TV series, Watson could not be the protagonist anyway.
The role is fixed! correct.
For movies, TV shows, and dramas, which are visually impactful information sources, it is necessary to make a choice between roles and fix the relationship between the roles to achieve the best results and benefits.
For novels, especially full-length novels, you can set many scenes without any scruples.
And there is an unforgettable protagonist image in every exciting scene.
It is very interesting that the protagonist in this scene is likely to be a supporting role in another scene, or even a passerby, an errand boy.
But remember, all this happened in a big story.
So the novel is the origin of the story (movies, TV shows, and dramas are the final manifestations of novels or scripts).
If you are a programmer, you can understand this very easily.
A novel is like a source code, you can modify it at any time, and you can write a minor function as a major function to get a new experience.
And when you think the source code is becoming perfect, you can compile it into an application, just like a novel or script is made into a movie.
Through the above content, you can understand that when a story is in the novel stage, You can extend every character in the story as you like.

Story arc
Stories are derived from people or anthropomorphic creatures, objects, etc.
Any character you follow in the novel and make an extension of the story that happened to him (her),
It is equivalent to a regional airliner starting to take on the mission of the mainline.
Although it may be a small aircraft, with surging power, it can also complete the task excellently.
Or the aircraft itself is an aircraft of the same model as the mainline passenger aircraft but has been engaged in low-key branch flight.
From the main story, focus on any one character,
Then extended an inconspicuous event that happened to him in the main story, and continue to extended a new story arc.
This story arc can be an enlargement of a detail of the main story, or it can be an extension of the main story.
It can even be a brand new main story arc, thus starting a brand new main story.
For example: In the main story, Abdiel Pierre is the absolute protagonist, and this absolute protagonist is defined by me.
In the story, Kelly Hernandez is a physical therapist and a nude model, and she is also a volunteer at Coral Home.
She and the protagonist are entangled in another relationship, which was initiated by Kelly Hernandez.
And this relationship is interspersed in the main story, there are a lot of delicate things to watch, and there is also a lot of confusion.
For example, why is she the best model candidate in the eyes of a painting artist?
The answer depends on her delicate emotional performance.
She is perfect as an artist's model.
But she is always alone.
So magnifying her life is a new story arc, and this story arc is not separated from the main story.
After taking Kelly Hernandez as the protagonist of the new story, you will find that Abdiel Pierre still frequently appears in it.
The difference point is that Abdiel Pierre only exists as a supporting role.
Kelly Hernandez has her own complete life circle.
In other words, there are enough people to act as supporting actors.

node
You and me, everyone's life is a legend.
I'm talking about everyone.
From your birth to seeing God, of course, we are still continuing to deduce life.
For example, I am writing now.
You can define a node as every year, every month, every day, or even every hour, half an hour.
At these nodes, everyone has different things or ideas.
These are the source of the story.
So every node will have a story.
We often say that stories come from life.
The foundation of imagination comes from your senses.
Sight, taste, smell, hearing, touch.
You can imagine outer space because someone told you what it was when you were young.
Or the microcosm, when you know the pathway to this knowledge, you can unfold endless imagination.
Therefore, a node in life can actually stimulate your imagination, yes, it is like a kind of prompt, which activates a part of your neurons and makes them quickly link to each other.
The more opportunities they have to train, the better they will live.
You can generate an expectant thought in an instant or at a glance.
Deduce a wonderful story.

character
On my blog, all the characters and names are fictitious, and all the detailed information you see, such as birthdays and resumes accurate to the day, are fictitious.
If it is similar to you, please contact me. This shows that we have a mirror image of our thinking in a certain time and space.
On my blog, all characters are inextricably linked, just like the concept of interpersonal relationships in reality.
You can find a certain relationship between any two people who are completely unrelated. You may need to go through several layers between them, but there is no absolute isolation.
I design all the characters on a bus topological structure and stretches out numerous tree topological structures from the bus topological structure.
A certain tree topology can also stretch out another bus topology, just like a universe galaxy.
Seemingly independent, they are actually related.
for instance
Abdiel Pierre went to New York from Port Orchard, Washington
He leads the coral home.
Extends his boss and wife, and their fortunes
Extends the girlfriend of Abdiel Pierre is also an amazing role.
A lot of tree topological structures can be stretched out from these two nodes.
Give full play to your imagination and draw some topological diagrams when necessary.

place
On my blog, all places, including schools, companies, NPOs, various institutions, etc., are fictitious, yes, imaginative.
Of course, you can use some real locations as hints of your imagination about the information of the institutions.
Places can provide characters with identity and status, and are also the basis for story arcs.
In a place, a group of people, you will have a lot of thoughts about various stories.

story
On my blog, all the stories are fictitious and rely entirely on imagination.
With a lot of experience, every node of life is the origin of a new story, which stretches out countless topological structures, countless nodes, and unlimited imagination.
As I mentioned earlier in the "Places" section, fiction is based on reality.
For example, if you imagine an imaginary place, arrange a character in it,
Your imagination is limited by your cognition.
So when you want to express a richer story theme, you have to watch more, observe more, and experience more.
It is not necessary to read novels written by others. To some extent, this may limit your thinking.
Life, yes, from the comprehensive experience of your 5 senses.
You have characters, you have places, set a time, design experience, ability, accomplishment, and achievement for the characters.
Design his relationship figures, from less to more.
As long as there are people and crowds, there will be stories. This is inevitable.
Arrange a story arc and expand your imagination. This is the logic of story formation.
Together we need to constantly exercise our imagination
I’m Derick Xu. Look forward to meeting you full of imagination. Let us keep in touch.
