    About this ebook

    J.M. Barclay went from near death to a small time Amazon Bestseller and is simply sharing everything he knows about the process of writing inspiring for FREE in the hopes of more writers being better able to inspire countless others while we still have a society to inspire.

    From now on, when people ask what you do for a living don't just say, “I'm a writer”. Tell them the truth, that it's your job to keep people dreaming, including yourself ;)

    What does it take to become a bestseller? A desire to make a positive difference and commitment to bettering yourself. I you truly do not care about others and only want to write empty stories I cannot help you. A person must suffer a lot of pain in order to stop caring and for that you have my compassion. I pray you read forth anyway with the hope you may become a little more inspired yourself. ;)

    You'll notice my style resides on starting with the fundamentals and building upon that. This may take some getting used to but if you think about it, it's the only way one should do anything.

    I this book you'll find my own comprehensive process towards the art of story craft built upon the 'Save the Cat' and 'Heroes Journey' models. You'll also find Jems of data for self-help, documentaries, audio books and, of course, marketing

      FOREWARD

      Dear reader, you have now begun quite the journey. I hope you never give up in your quest to make a difference. I will always be in your corner. ;)

      Please note, this is an informal book between me and you. Thus the editing and design is not what it would be for a commercial book.

      I am a bestseller but do not yet have successful movies under my belt. This book is about the core of storytelling itself. The process you’ll come across later in this book is designed slightly more for scriptwriting with both ‘Save the Cat’ and the ‘Heroes journey’ points in unison. I'm certain that no matter what medium you write you have more to gain from this book then you may think possible ;)

      This book is written mostly as a process and I do not want to scare you away with its apparent length – So I have bunched the Chapters covering the actual process of writing in the index. You will see a full list after you have gone through it yourself and have learned that it's not as intimidating as it appears.

      From now on, when people ask what you do for a living don't just say, I'm a writer. Tell them the truth, that it's your job to keep people dreaming, including yourself ;)

      You'll soon notice I spend a bit of time on philosophy. That's because a story comes into creation like this:

      Universe → Writers Perceptions –> Writers Bias and Limited understanding → Writers creativity → Written story.

      What does it really take to become a bestseller/ successful writer? Not as much as you may have feared. Success is not a goal but a journey. It's a way of life. It's a mind set. It's not about approval or sympathy. It's never about money. To make it as a writer you don’t just have to learn about the heroes Journey, you need to walk it yourself and day by day work on becoming someone you can not only respect but be deeply inspired by. Yes you have much to learn but as long as you follow your heart and never give up you'll be a positive asset in the bigger battle of good vs evil.

      You'll notice my style resides on starting with the fundamentals and building upon that. This may take some getting used to but if you think about it, it's the only way one should do anything.

      I have always been mystified by the power of story itself. And it's intangible threads of what makes a story truly something.

      Wether documentary, self-help book, novel or movie all forms of the written word must be done with the intention to make a difference within the mind of the audience for the better. That is also, after all, the only goal worth the effort of the writer. This book is not necessarily written for documentaries or self-help books per say, but you'll still find plenty of ideas and guidelines to help you. :)

      In my quest to learn how to become a better storyteller, I had to first read the biographies and reports on JK Rowling and Tolkien... And was surprised that both shared a love for a part of writing I had never heard of or read about- Creating your world before you write the story itself. I was blown away. Many of you may be already thinking, Oh yeah, I already do that.

      And thus I would like to issue your first warning. Anytime you think you 'know something enough' or think 'you’re good enough' instead realize this is only what novices believe. In every area of life there is an infinity of potential of knowledge and skill.

      For example I was talking to a student the other day and I said, "I don't feel that you fully get the heart of your hero. I don’t think you fully understand his fears and motivations or have a strong sense of how they would personally react. You should spend some time daydreaming till you can feel your heroes own heartbeat and personality like you would your own wife. To which he replied, Oh, yeah I did that." He thought the ability to love his character was a yes/no challenge, and from that alone I know how much work he needs to do in this though area of love itself.

      Without further ado I am J.M. Barclay and I'm a small time bestseller with my first novel of "Unchosen: Rise of The Secret Wizard societies. I am writing this e-book for free in the hopes that I can inspire countless writers out there, who maybe didn’t even
