Template or Formula for a Successful Fiction Book

Hello Folks, today I wanted to answer one of the most common questions I get from book writers, and their question is this or some variant of it: “Hi, is there any template or formula for a successful fiction book?”

Well, there is no such template or formula. While there isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula for a successful fiction book, many successful novels follow certain structural templates and storytelling techniques that resonate with readers. Below is a general template (guideline) that can guide you in crafting a compelling fiction story:

1. Concept and Theme

  • Concept: Start with a unique, engaging idea that will captivate readers. This could be a “what if” scenario, an unusual character, or an intriguing setting.
  • Theme: Decide on the central theme or message of your story. This could be love, power, identity, redemption, etc.

2. Character Development

  • Protagonist: Create a relatable main character with clear goals, strengths, and flaws. The protagonist should undergo significant growth or change throughout the story.
  • Antagonist: Introduce an antagonist or obstacle that challenges the protagonist, providing conflict and tension.
  • Supporting Characters: Develop well-rounded secondary characters that serve to complement, challenge, or support the protagonist.

How to Consciously Choose the Life of Your Dreams

Everything in life is a choice and your spiritual growth depends entirely on the choices you make and the spirituality information that you immerse yourself in.

The key to creating the life of your dreams is to begin the process of understanding how important it is to be conscious and aware of the choices you are making and whether those choices are serving you or not.

Relativity tells us that you can’t know something as an experience until you first come to know its opposite. That is the purpose of the theory of relativity and all physical life.

That is why we have this other beautiful, magnificent and glorious ability in our lives called choice. We get to choose whatever it is that we desire. We can say “the devil made me do it” all we want, but the ultimate reality is that we make a choice about every decision we make in our lives. Continue reading →

Notes on Spirituality – by Richard Blackstone

Richard D. Blackstone profile imageDuring the first forty years of my life I was sleepwalking.

I listened to what other people told me about life and how I was supposed to conduct myself as I stumbled along in my journey from birth to death.

I was told to follow the rules because only by following the rules and working real hard would I be able to achieve this illusive thing called “success.”

So I bought into the idea that I was a separate entity from all other people and things and went about the business of hard work and being better so that I would be successful.

I got the college education, the job, the wife, the children, the house, the right car, the material possessions, the life-style, the alcohol, the drugs, the affairs, the divorce, the depression, and the guilt. While all this “life” was happening I always had this nagging feeling that there was something about life I didn’t know, the knowing of which could change my life in a more meaningful empowering way.

Nuts and Bolts Spirituality – by Richard Blackstone

Richard D. Blackstone profile imageI was conditioned all my life to believe in the American dream of working hard, following the rules, investing in my retirement and America and then reaping the rewards at the appropriate time.

Well, I worked hard, followed the rules, made the investments but I never was able to reap the rewards. What was it that I was missing?

What I came to find out was that I was “sleepwalking through Life” because I was looking to the outside world for all my answers and thinking that life was happening to me and I had to keep reacting to the people, events and circumstances in my life.

I didn’t realize that I was living my life unconsciously and the natural consequence of that existence was lack, illness and frustration.

Then a fortuitous event happened in my life and I began to see life from an entirely different perspective that opened my eyes to the idea that I was creating my life, whether I knew I was or not.

The whole problem I had was one of ignorance about the immutable laws of the universe that govern all of creation and my lack of knowledge about “who I really am.”

Once I got on this path of self awareness and started creating my life consciously everything changed in my world.

Once I understood my true nature I was able to begin the conscious creation of my life where abundance, health and harmony flowed to me easily and effortlessly.

I am now an award-winning author and international speaker about life, love and the true nature of how the universe works. I live an abundant life in total wellness and am in harmony with all of life.

Wow! Now I am blessed to teach these life skills to others and there is no more rewarding experience for me. Yes, I am following my bliss and raising the consciousness of all humanity at the same time. Life is good.

It is all good. I am building my dream house on the banks of the Coast Fork of the Willametter River in Pleasant Hill, Oregon with my four cats surrounded by nature. I wake up every morning giving thanks for having woken up to my true authentic self and I appreciate everything that happens in my life.

Life is good and it is all a matter of perspective. We are all on a path of self improvement and that path will always take you to an understanding of self as a priority destination.

Thank you for being in my life.

Live in love,

Richard D. Blackstone
