I want to write Gu Yan's novels, but for the first time, I want to pay attention to matters and skills, and I don't want to copy them mechanically.

I agree. I also think we should read more books. You said that the appearance and environment of your characters are very weak, and many skills can't be practiced in a day or two. Writing is something that needs books to accumulate. First, read more other people's novels. Understand how others skillfully use it. Don't rush for success, don't just write more and write less, write well! Is the key to a good book. I suggest you read books such as The Book of Songs, which contain many beautiful words that can be skillfully used, such as changing the sentence pattern of a word to what you want to write. You can try it, and the effect is not bad. It's best not to copy completely, which is not very good for writing.

You will find that many things will be written naturally. It's really good to like the Book of Songs. You can also read more ancient poems. For example, if you want to write about a woman's lovesickness, first find an ancient poem and experience its artistic conception. Combine your own novels and make associations. Many stories have many details, which are helpful to you.

Usually, we should read more ancient short sentences and pay more attention to the details of the characters when watching TV. When writing, imagine yourself as a character in a novel. You don't know what it means until you enter it.

You said you didn't know the relationship between characters, so don't worry when you write, you should straighten out the relationship between characters. Don't mess around. But don't be too simple. You can draw a tree diagram first, sort out the relationship between the characters and write slowly. Well, I can't teach you too much. Feel for yourself > _ <
