Albert: Now, the next thing the book says iiiiiiis....... (Albert begins reading the large, yellow page, looking for the next tip)

Dave: Albert, hurry up already! You're taking like, 2 million years!

Albert: Well you try to read the biggest page on earth with writing that's the size of a grain of dirt!

Dave: (rolls eyes) whatever.

(For a while, Albert was just humming to herself, trying the read the oh-so small print, while Dave just stared at here like she was stupid. Until finally...)

Albert: Hmmmmmm....... Ah here it is! The next tip!

Book: MAKE THE CHAPTERS LONGER!

Albert: Wow, you guys really upset Mr. Book o' Knowledge.

Dave: You gave the book a name?

Albert: (mutters) mayyybeee.

Dave: (Facepalm's her forehead) 

Albert: Don't act like you're surprised. Anyway! What the book is saying, is that you should make the chapters longer. A majority of fanfiction books out there have good potential, but the chapters are only a few paragraphs long. My suggestion, is that you should combine a few chapters. If they occur in different time zones, then add a little decoration line like this:

-------<><><>-------

Albert: Or, if you think your chapters would be too big if you combined a few of them, then maybe add more description. In my previous chapter, I gave two examples to show the difference in script writing, and story writing. If you noticed, the second example (story writing), the paragraph was a little longer, because it had more description than the first paragraph. It's a perfect way to show you what I mean.

Albert: So to sum up everything I just said, try and make your chapters longer, either by combing two or more chapters together, or simply adding more description. Everybody get all that?

Dave: (looks baffled) I understood nothing of what you just said.

Albert: Well too bad, cuz I ain't writing it again. Just go back and re-read the paragraphs.

Dave: But that's impossible. I am in the book, therefore, I cannot read it. I know that it is written down in the physical form of a book, or rather, an online book, but because I am simply a character in it, I can only know that it's written down somewhere I cannot read, because my form right now is not real.

Albert: ........... I think you just broke the fourth wall a little bit.

Dave: Good. (she crosses her arms, looking pleased with herself)

Albert: ......Anyone got duck tape I can use to fix the wall?
