At half past twelve, Li Peifeng returned home and received files from Lu Jing and Lin Zhihui in his email, but he didn't look at them. Instead, he kept writing and finally finished the last part of the novel outline for "Sword and Magic," sending it to the editor, Xia Sheng, who had been urging him for it.
As of today, he has basically clarified and sorted out the main characters and plot of "Sword and Magic." If there's anything left unfinished, it's just minor details that need refining, but he doesn't plan to write the outline any further. He's starting the main text directly.
In Li Peifeng's view, crafting a detailed outline specifying what each chapter will cover might make writing the main text smoother, but it can stifle the author's spontaneity, making the reading experience less passionate.
Sometimes, as the author writes, their skill improves, and suddenly they feel a different plot direction seems more reasonable and natural, thus rendering the original idea obsolete.
