Chapter 112: Through the Mask
Writing 10,000 words daily for the past few days had left Jiang Miao’s brain feeling numb, and he was struggling to keep up.
From chapter 86, when his novel went premium, all the way to the morning of the 7th, he had already written up to chapter 103.
In the past, this speed would have been unbelievable for him.
But now, the story was approaching the first major climax, and his detailed outline only went up to this point.
So from here on, he didn’t dare to continue writing too quickly. He needed to slow down the pace and take some time to make a detailed outline of the plot after the male lead’s birthday.
Otherwise, once he finished writing the birthday arc, with no detailed outline to follow, he’d be like a headless chicken running around aimlessly. It would be easy for him to fall into the trap of writing filler content that veered off from the main storyline.
Yes, in many novels, the slice-of-life content was just filler.
But in slice-of-life novels, filler mainly referred to content that neither shaped nor highlighted character traits or advanced the plot.
In other words, if the daily interactions in slice-of-life stories couldn’t highlight the personalities of the male and female leads and merely described what they did, turning the story into a simple chronological account, that was when it became filler.
