Welcome to the Wattpad Writing Great Fiction introduction! You can browse through the chapters and use them as a reference when needed, or you can treat this like a class in writing fiction. There are assignments you can do, but don't worry, there aren't any due dates. There are lectures, but you don't have to take notes and there are no tests. But, if you work through it, if you do the assignments and think about how the lessons can apply to your writing, if you really push yourself, we guarantee that your writing will improve. With just a little bit of effort, you will feel more confident and your readers will see it in your work. You'll learn more about how to structure your stories, how to write great sentences that pull readers in and how to write characters that people will relate to and want to follow. A note on how this book is organized: The first eight chapters are devoted to the fundamentals you need to know to be able to craft stories that will draw readers in. The next seven chapters focus on different ways of planning and crafting your story, and after that we go over a variety of things including style and common story problems. So, jump in with us! Explore the craft of writing, work on the homework, try some of our contests and meet other writers who want to push themselves! We all look forward to reading your work and helping you become the writer you want to be. -The Ambassadors on the Improve Your Writing team. This instructional book is primarily written by Bruce Elgin, Wattpad Ambassador and 2014 Watty Winner. He has his Master of Fine Arts degree in creative writing and has taught writing for years.

"That would be doctor to you, Commander, not sweetheart." Sienna Dreis is the lead doctor for the Resistance. She is dedicated and witty. Poe Dameron is their best pilot. He is reckless and charming. The two of them have seen their fair share of casualties. The teasing comments, endless flirting (on Poe's part), and the dedication to their work helps guide them through one of the most unstable times in the galaxy. Learning to lean on one another for support, the doctor and commander navigate their growing relationship in the hopes that they are able to live long enough to see the Resistance overcome the constant threats it faces. *Everything belongs to the StarWars series except my characters and elements to the plot*

**Nanowrimo 2023** Savannah is creative soul fatigued by the doldrums of her banal day to day who finds herself hopeleslly under the spell of an abandonded victorian house on an idyllic seaside cliff in Astoria Oregon. Against her better judgment, she sheds the life she knows to jump at the chance to make the house hers, only to find out too late that it comes with the benefit of an obnoxious ghost, a storied past that has marked it with disaster, and that it has a disquieting tendency of drawing all manner of strangeness to its door. -----This is a very rough draft. I am posting my 1600 words nightly without any editing at all, in hopes I can keep the momentum without getting too caught up in the weeds of polishing so ye be warned - there be typos and worse.

Two witches, a cheshire cat and a changling guard an in-prisoned ancient horror that slumbers under the cottage floorboards. Read on as rituals pan out differently than intended, no one is who or what they seem, books of shadows take on lives of their own, misfits survive on creativity and the merit of prescribed reality is questioned... but at what cost? The beginning is the end and the end is the beginning. So mote it be. ------- Original cover art created by myself using watercolor. --- Posting rough draft as it comes so pardon the slop :P

Banished from his home, with no hope of clearing his name or honour - Galahad had few choices and even fewer good ones. Thrown from her world into one of magic and monsters - Robin has only one chance to survive and maybe get home. With a tailor who is terrible with money but great at talking himself into and out of trouble and a mage who hasn't actually passed his exams yet, can this motley band get Robin home in one piece and clear Galahad's name in the process? A Knights Gambit has been taken down while I work on finishing the second half (and making edits as my beta readers have recommended). I will bring it back again as soon as I am able.
