𝟐𝟎 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑... ୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ It's been 20 years since Juliette Ferrars and Aaron Warner have taken over The Reestablishment and rebuilt the lives of the world for the better. 𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒊𝒍𝒂 𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒓 is the light of her parents lives: clever, cunning, and unafraid to resist anybody who dares to challenge her. But beneath the ruthless exterior lies her mother's heart, gentle, kind yet determined, and she's ready to show the world what she's got. 𝒌𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒐 is his fathers son. Mischievous, loud and impossible not to laugh with. He has Kenji's warmth, but Nazeera's quiet strength. Deep in his heart, he wants to make a change-he wants to leave his mark on the world. Kian is more than just the legacy of his parents, he's his own untouchable forced, and he's ready to take to his place in a world that's still finding balance. When a group of old Reestablishment supremacists suddenly emerges, the-already-fragile peace that Aaron and Juliette fought so hard to build begins to crumble. Elodie and Kian find themselves thrusted into a world that they've only ever heard bedtime stories about. When their past refuses to be silenced, how far will they go to protect what they love?

The advice you will find here follows the Chicago Manual of Style which is widely used by American publishers. There are some variances in style from country to country (and even from American publisher to American publisher.) **It may be easier to search the Table of Contents, as there is no rhyme or reason right now to chapter order.**

|| ✨ 2022 WATTYS WINNER ✨ || || x8 FEATURED || Kill the monsters. Claim the bounty. Escape to Alaska. ------------ Ten years ago, an event known as The Turning upset the balance of Earth's ecosystems. Demons emerged from the depths of Hell, dragging along with them obscure creatures from old myths and legends. In the midst of all this chaos, eighteen-year-old Raine Barlow makes a living by hunting monsters. No price is too high, no monster is too deadly. Her goal is simple: to make enough money to escape to Alaska -- where her parents are rumored to be held. And Raine just might be able to do it: the mayor of Eureka has agreed to pay her $10,000 to escort his young daughter to the City of Dust -- a former metropolis surrounded by walls and secrets. Armed with poison-tipped crossbow bolts, her own brand of small magic, and an aging battle-elk named Winston, Raine and her charge must trek across the dust-covered and desolate stretches of a California highway, all the while trying to avoid the monsters and demons who are trying to take over the world.

I add to it every time I think of something else that beginners would find useful. These are in no particular order, so feel free to refer to the Table of Contents to skip to a topic that you're interested in. **I am currently working on rewriting and editing this into a real book, which I'll publish on Amazon** PS: I am rarely ever on Wattpad, so if you message me, I'm very unlikely to answer.
