Starting from scratch in another world

Chapter 36

The genre of the novel was determined. In order to prevent SMS bombardment, Shi Meng informed the editor Matsuura about the subject of the third novel.

She originally just wanted to perfunctorily deal with him, but she didn't expect that Matsuura Bunichi had much more confidence than April teacher.

She kept revealing words of praise such as "I believe that the teacher will definitely create a new genre", "April teacher is a versatile all-rounder", "Looking forward to the teacher's masterpiece", etc.

April teacher could only pour cold water on her, because the novel has not even finished the outline yet.

But it seems that the editor Matsuura didn't take her notice seriously, and thought that the teacher was just being modest out of habit.

No, it's not modesty, it's really that she has no inspiration.

At night in the dream space, Shi Meng bit the pen anxiously.

But after all, she has completed three novels, and she is also an experienced author, and she knows from which angle to start the idea.

For example, first think about what kind of thing is considered scary if you want to write a horror novel?

In her mind, there emerged a large group of strange and bizarre ghosts, strange stories, demons, vampires; that terrifying and disgusting brain-shaped curse spirit; and some death-related things such as mass graves, blood moons, coffins, and the gloomy, terrifying, and chilling atmosphere.

Shi Meng shuddered, thinking that she was too imaginative.

But it was not scary enough.

Although these images would make people uncomfortable, they could not make people feel creepy from the bottom of their hearts.

She felt that it could be even scarier:

like the sound coming from outside the door when she was alone in her childhood; the invisible bottom of the bed when she fell asleep at midnight; and the woods on both sides and the darkness behind her when she was alone late at night...

When you are in these scenes, will you have an indescribable fear...

All fear comes from the unknown.

What you see with your own eyes is not real.

Teacher April nodded, and roughly knew what kind of environment to create.

Then what about the characters and the protagonist?

To be honest, writing about people is the most difficult.

Talents are the most difficult for her to figure out, and the most difficult for her to look directly at.

She leaned her head back on the cradle chair floating in the air, thinking of Rokudo Mukuro's bloody eyes, and Hisasaku's sharp screams on the research table...

Compared with these, even the cursed spirit that made her lose control of her mind was not as greedy and vicious as the human heart.
