Summary of the second part

　　The second part of the writing of about 850,000 words, is considered to be the structure of the ultra-long, I seem to remember that only the first life of the third volume and the fourth volume more than it, every day to think, every day to write, although it is very happy, but it is really tired, especially in the back of the month is also attached to the fitness, and almost did not even have the time to read the novels.

　　The title of this one is “Faceless Man”, which is expected to have three meanings, note, note, the following is the standard reading comprehension answer.

　　One is the promotion to “Faceless Man,” which is the simplest and easiest to think of.

　　Secondly, it refers to Kirk’s existence in Birkeland, using a false face, a false name, a false identity, to meet people, to deal with things, to get involved in the storm, but when he comes back home, he is still lonely and cold.

　　Thirdly, it refers to those people who were crushed into powder or rushed in the big time, in the history books, they have no name, no appearance, no past, no life, only exist in simple figures or descriptions, in a sense, isn’t it “faceless people”? Who cares what their faces look like when they are the simplest of drag queens, the least interesting of cannon fodder?

　　Just like the saying, “In times of famine, people eat each other”, how much sadness, pain, cruelty, bloodshed and despair are contained in these six simple words, and how many living people without faces or names are condensed into them? Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions!

　　So, I tried to give some descriptions of the old Kohler, Liv, Freya in the waves of the times, tried to restore the hope, hardship and tragedy of these “faceless people”, to make them seem like people rather than numbers, although this second part of the fragmentation of a large number of reasons, but it is the hidden main line.

　　As they pass away, more people like them come in, and the Faceless Men are always there, stepping stones and pioneers of their time, and indispensable to the authenticity of the story.

　　Considering this, I discarded the sadder and more shocking ending, after all, this one is called the Faceless Men, the worst of times the best of times after the reversal of the back and forth echo, can be very good and powerful expression of what I want to be, the era of advancement, relentless and helpless, but under the foot of the cluster of uncountable faceless people lying.

　　The name of the third installment wouldn’t have so much symbolism because the main line is clear and direct, ergo, the name of the third installment is, “The Traveler.”

　　Looking at the name, you should be able to imagine something, but let’s focus will be put back to the second part, Bay City actually has a lot of threads that have not been wrapped up, such as the Mercury Serpent related, such as the underground evil spirits related, such as the royal family’s real schemes, such as 0-17, such as vampire related, such as the Psycho-Alchemy Society related, this is both because of the need to give the Bay City’s Audrey, Forsyth, Hugh, Emlyn, and their to show themselves the opportunities, but also because Bay City is the most important stage in the entire novel, and Kirk is sure to come back, and sure to stay for a long time.

　　The second Part 1s said to be fragmented, but it’s actually okay when a lot of things are eventually strung together, and for me, fragmented but engagingly written, it’s not bad, the real problem is actually the other point, and that’s that the pace of the story has been rather taut and tighter, it hasn’t loosened up, in other words, constant encounters with events, and constant problem solving, and lack of long enough and easy enough excesses in between, which can make for some exhausting and tiresome reading. While there are reasons for this that invoke the converging effects of extraordinary characteristics, it’s also true that there are some problems right from the setting.

　　The problem is that the Tarot Sessions are held once a week, so the timeline is cut into week after week, and it’s easy to get a sense of repetition and staleness, and it’s also important to keep a certain amount of things going on each week, so the pacing of the Extraordinary Events gets a little bit tighter, and I’m currently considering a solution to this where some of the lesser Tarot Sessions are just skipped, and a little bit more freedom is allowed in the control of the time.

　　Of course, the tarot meeting itself is also the main body, certainly not less, like the first time to join after Emlyn, I did not forget, and a lot of friends mentioned a variety of things, such as the reaction of the Church, such as another copper whistle, I remembered, but intentionally pressed to not go to the writing, ready to save it for the beginning of the third part.

　　I didn’t want the minutiae to dilute or destroy the overall sense of image and emotion of the final two, so I had to do a certain amount of technical processing.

　　The second part of the writing, I am very happy to erect a character, so that everyone is still like, with 0-17 to close violently is not out of the question, on the one hand, the side of the writing out of the church is still very bullish, can be as the ruling class for so long, is not without reason, on the other hand is that this is not in itself a closing, but just a succession, a carry on, pointing to some of the subsequent things, the specifics will not be mentioned, so as not to be spoiler alert.

　　Finally, the writing, a novel written down, I am more and more pursuit of simplicity and piercing, that is to say, can use the most plain and simple vocabulary precise description, try not to be long-winded, do not use gorgeous things to fill, rely on the most calm and objective white description step by step to pile up the emotions, in the most appropriate time, with the most precise and concise language piercing the barrier to the heart of the softest place.

　　Now it seems that although there are still a lot of problems, but barely considered on the road.

　　Of course, the characteristics of online writing doomed, I can only get in the most important and most important chapter so, it is impossible to write every chapter, many things can only be repaired in the future when the old free to repair, the usual state, my vocabulary is actually quite a lot, but they are very rusty, after all, they are all the back of the step-by-step accumulation, and did not use, that is to say, the code words will be habitually used in the brain commonly used list of those, so a lot of the time! Inevitably, the problem of repetition of words.

　　Also, similar to the problem of some adjectives used indiscriminately, is the hope that the picture in the mind the most clear and intuitive most reflect the focus of the presentation, so in the text to try to do some creativity, but there is still to be groped for, to be improved.

　　These are the technical summaries of the second part.

　　Writing is a very hard and torturous thing, but writing it, being praised, being praised, and being especially pleasant, especially satisfying, and lately people have been praising me to the point where I’m simply ecstatic.

　　Gentlemen, I love writing fiction!
