Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it. This is me saying thanks, for Wattpad people that have made my day better.

Every girl is wondering about two things: 1. What do I want to do with my life? 2. What kind of person do I want to marry? So I traveled around the world looking for answers. Five men, three continents, one prophecy... And an appearance on Chinese reality TV. I thought fairy tales only existed in leather-bound books... Until the phone rang... This is a true story.

Hi y'all. Last year I quit my job, married a Canadian, and uprooted my entire life - old typewriters, vintage costumes and all - to Toronto. We called it our Canadian adventure and we're living in Apartment A, or as we call it, Apartment "Eh?" Collected here are some of my thoughts about the Great White North and I'll be updating regularly with new musings since I'm still adjusting to my newfound home. Follow me on Instagram @zoedinovi for my visual diary and tell me your own tales of 'innocents abroad' in the comments!

I was the 6th-grade "slut." And I kept a diary. So I decided to create The UnSlut Project in the hopes that my own diary entries could provide some perspective to girls who currently feel trapped and ashamed. I am publishing these entries one at a time, without changing a single word except for the names of the people involved. My limited commentary, which is confined to brackets in each entry, is meant to provide the relief of my current perspective, fifteen years later. The UnSlut Project: Working to undo the dangerous slut shaming in our schools, communities, media, and culture by sharing knowledge and experiences.

REAL LIFE STORY: I was a stereotypical high achiever in an Ivy League school who got suspended for plagiarism; April was a sweet girl who worked in a high-end prostitution ring. We were both in our early twenties when we became friends. A perfect timing, because my heart was full and swollen, so was hers. With the help of vodka, we began spilling our secrets one by one. Our hidden wounds, our dirty laundry, our youthful ambitions—everything. QUESTIONS EXPLORED: Why am I unhappy? What is the meaning of friendship? What makes someone sexy? What is the purpose of life? Why is love so confusing? Is it wrong to be selfish? What drives you? How insecure is too insecure? Why do I feel jealous? What triggers a quarter-life crisis? Why are some girls so crazy? Why are most guys dumb? What is philanthropy? What do we owe to homeless people? What should we do about loneliness? Injustice? Depression? What if I really, badly want to be beautiful? What am I most ashamed of? What do people I dislike have in common? Who is God? Why do we pray? What do I know for sure? Why tithe? Why love again?

A day by day account of my 2014 Nanowrimo journey. NaNoWriMo for those of you who don't know is a challenge to write 50,000 words in a month. That month is November, and for over ten years writers have been gathering together to attempt this feat. I first heard of NaNoWriMo in 2013, I managed to complete the challenge that year and the draft I wrote will form part of the second Portal Wars book. More importantly the challenge kickstarted my writing, showing me what was achievable if I applied myself to the challenge. This year I will be drafting my new book Cleansing River, and hope to share a slightly edited version as I progress through the month. I am aiming to complete the entire story this time round but will be happy with writing 20,000 words if life gets very busy. After all its the taking part that counts not the winning. For more information about NaNoWriMo have a look on their website. http://nanowrimo.org/ Have a look at Cleansing River. http://www.wattpad.com/story/18663484-cleansing-river-nanowrimo-%2714
