What I would do: 1. Allow yourself to put your writing (as you have done it until today) on hold for a year or so. 2. Use this time to try to approach writing differently. 3. First, take a month or so to learn what characterizes bestselling novels and movies. 4. Construct an outline according to these principles. 5. Write that book. Think of it as a writing assignment or job. 6. When you are done, evaluate your experience. 7. Try to write "a bestseller" using your own interests. That is, use the "bestseller code" you have identified and fill it with what you like to write about. That is, force your own writing into the bestseller format.
