7 TIPS for Writing your BESTSELLER!!!
On 'The Main site' you might have seen - besides my own book - the book titled: "Happy for No Reason", I have seen that currently It's on the 14th position of the Bestseller List on Amazon. (BTW you can also listen to an interview with the author.)
To be able to write a Bestseller of your own, to take a shot at get your book in the new york times bestseller list, here below you can find a list of 7 Tips for writing a Bestseller, it's all very 'basic' although I did elaborated a little about PLOT WRITING, if you have something complementing to say about it, or know something you think has to be added I would love to hear from you.
Tip 1: Select a Popular genre
Simply, look what's popular now.
Tip 2: Consider a Series
Like for example Harry Potter, with a series you can build up your success and create anticipation and a reputation for being a 'Must Read'.
Tip 3: Use a Great Title
Like for example 'A VISION for a Happy, Healthy & Rich LifeStyle'
(Actually that might be a little long for a title, you might better call it 'The Happy Vision Book' or something like that)
Tip 4: Use Great Punctuation for extra 'Communication Power'.
for example use ......, for a pauze and 'Let me think' itatlics for thoughts and use bold to give an accentuation or else CAPITALS.
Tip 5: Use Sensational Settings
Write about places people would love to go, an other world where exiting things happen.
Tip 6: Use Likable Characters
Characters you can identify with.
Tip 7: Intelligent Plot
ATTENTION!!! this is something that a lot of people seem to have difficulty with, it's easy to go wrong here.., a lot of people - probably because of some sort of 'Mechanical Thinking' - are inclined to think of PLOT as some sort of 'Skeleton' or 'Back Bone' that you hang your story on. Because it does sound as a logical approach to build your story plot.
However I don't think that this approach is really going to get you anywhere, if you want to create a great story plot, because as far as I understand the 'Essence' of PLOT simply is somewhat different.
PLOT seems to be more something like a 'Guiding Force' that permates the entire story as a whole! This may sound a little 'Mystical' and hard to grasp, and I do think that that's exactly what it is. It is not something 'Michanical' like a 'Thing' or 'Object' you can grasp. As I said before it's more like a 'Guiding Force' that has to do with the story as a whole.
A few examples of PLOT will show this:
For example the 'Quest Plot', 'Adventure Plot', 'Persuit - ' or the 'Rescue Plot'
Those are examples of PLOT's and if those examples don't seem to be really impressive or interesting enough or maybe even a little of a 'Riddle' than I congratulate you because 'guess what?' you discovered that 'The Riddle' is also a PLOT, and BTW 'The Discovery' is also a PLOT :)
