The core of online writing is a sense of expectation, and the ultimate purpose of various writing techniques involved in plot, rhythm, emotion, etc., is essentially to establish a sense of expectation.
For example, a plot, the so-called plot, is a good story, and a good story puts aside the skills of storytelling, and the story itself naturally has a sense of anticipation. Other rhythms, emotions, etc. also belong to the specific skills of pulling the sense of expectation, and the rhythm is good, the emotions are mastered in place, and the sense of expectation is naturally born.
But what exactly is anticipation?
Anticipation is a psychological concept, a state of mind, an anticipation of future events and an emotional desire to occur.
It is also common for online writing, using the "three-year covenant" in "Breaking the Sky" as an example.
Xiao Yan once had a marriage contract with Nalan Yanran, but later because of the loss of Xiao Yan's strength, Nalan Yanran's family proposed to dissolve the marriage contract. In order to save his dignity, Xiao Yan made a three-year contract with Nalan Yanran, and agreed to hold a competition after three years. In the past three years, Xiao Yan has experienced countless challenges and growth, and finally showed amazing strength in the agreed competition, winning respect and victory.
Substituting Xiao Yan himself is a genius, and there is a grandfather in the ring as a gold finger, but he is treated as a waste and is dismissed from the door to the door to get married, first of all, the door-to-door divorce is an insult to the protagonist, which naturally pulls up the reader's emotional value, this emotion is like a spring that is pressed down, and there will naturally be a desire to rebound, after setting a three-year contract, because from the reader's point of view, it is known that Xiao Yan's ring has an old grandfather, and there is capital to become stronger, and the three-year contract is not an empty talk, Three years later, Xiao Yan went to Yunlan Sect to slap his face and shocked everyone.
If Xiao Yan himself is a waste, without ability and no golden finger, he may have emotional value if he is divorced from the door, but readers do not have such a big expectation of what will happen in three years, and the sense of expectation is relatively weak.
So it is the emotional desire generated by this event and the anticipation of the event that together constitute the sense of anticipation.
In a word, the core of anticipation is emotions and events.
The above-mentioned divorce is an event, and a web novel of millions or even tens of millions of words is also composed of one event at a time.
The events of online literature are endless, and the plots of different categories of novels such as fantasy, Xianxia, urban, science fiction, and suspense are also very different, and the emotions generated by the events are also diverse.
So when writing and conceiving the plot, how do you conceive a plot with a sense of anticipation? Is there a framework that can be followed?
The answer is yes.
Online writing is commercial writing, the essence of which is to meet the reading needs of readers, and the sense of expectation is the specific presentation of reading needs.
Today, I will use Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory as a framework to analyze how to conceive a plot with a sense of expectation in the creation of online articles.
First of all, understand what Maslow's hierarchy of needs is.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory was proposed by Abraham Maslow in 1943, and its basic content is to divide people's needs into five needs: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs and self-actualization needs.
In addition, basic needs generally appear in the order of physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs, and self-actualization needs, but not all of them appear in this order.
The next three membership courses (released today and tomorrow) will tell the specific skills of conceiving a plot with a sense of anticipation according to the five needs.
Everyone is welcome to pay attention.
