Surely you'll have noticed that all successful Hollywood movies are constructed with the same, essential ingredients (you've got your hero, leading lady, official bad guy, etc.) and follow a certain pattern with their story line (starts with some kind of background story, then there's some type of key event, sexual content in a strategically placed spot along the lines for when things would otherwise get boring, I guess, you also get your gay character in there somewhere, and a little something for the kids, like some pet or cute person, etc.). My impression is that commercially successful novels do the same - and I would like to use that template for fun to write my own.
But where can I find out more about it? Does anybody know?
Thanks.
