In
every endeavour, one should have a plan in order to succeed, because the ones
that don’t succeed are the ones who don’t have a plan at all. So I come up with
an strategy in order for me to be a “Bestseller” (remember that’s my goal!).
But first I have to be clear with the definition of a “Bestseller”.
The
“BestSeller” that I have in mind is a:
1.
It’s story sells itself.
2.
Majority is seduced by it.
3.
The story has its own followers.
And yup
those three are difficult to achieve, considered as a major road block, it’s
difficult but who says it’s easy? And why did I define “Bestseller”? I noticed
this when I read a book in my elementary days and it gave me a hell of a ride.
I enjoyed it so much! Later, I found out that this book is not that popular to
other people. And then there’s this
another book, I’ve heard that it sold millions of copies worldwide and it so
successful that the author has trip around the world just to sign books. I’m so
sold by its rumour that I bought it the next day. After reading a few pages, I
felt like I want put a toothpick in my eyelids just to keep my eyes from
falling because of boredom.
I defined
it because I don’t want to be motivated by not just the number of sold copies but
also if I gave the readers a unique experience that they will always cherished
to the years to come. There are so many marketing strategies online in order
for you to hack your way in selling millions of copies. But I still prefer in
making my stories that plant into the soul of every reader, it’s worth than
anything else. I also want to motivate myself to write from my heart and sell
to the people the belief in our books.
So
first things first, I want to improve my quality of writing. Thousands of “how
to write” books/programs out there and it doesn’t matter which one, the
important thing is to make a full dive into my desired endeavour. I’ve read books
and been with programs that help other people to write fiction, the only thing
that’s left to apply what I’ve learn and have feedbacks for improvements. The
only place that I can think is WATTPAD. Sure, there are other writing sites
that exist before WATTPAD that you can also post your stories and have
comments. But WATTPAD is the trend to today and I want to hear the voice of
this new generation in order for my writing to fit for this era. Let’s see how
can we do it. Comment on this post for other suggestions that I can do.
Until
then guys! XD
I can tell from your blog that your motivation to write will carry you towards success. The depth of your passion is clearly illustrated in how you express yourself and I can say that it will carry you far! Goodluck!
