When Marie returns to her hometown for the first time in years, she never thought that she would discover an untold dark mystery hidden in Sierra Port. ***** When Marie Jamison decides to go back to her coastal town, Sierra Port, to get away from her past mistakes from her college years, she thought that it would be easy for her to reconnect with her old friends and relatives she'd left behind, as well as wanting to relive her reckless youthful days back in her teens. But things aren't the same since she left years ago. Everyone she knew had grown and changed into a different person, and summer didn't felt the same to her when spending time with her friends. The ocean becomes violent, with waves crashing onto the seashores. Something sinister lurks around town, and for some reason Marie is dragged into it by an unknown force. All it takes for things to take a dark turn is to revisit the lost memories of Sierra Port. --- Updates every Friday Started writing: April 10th, 2017

These are NOT your typical writing prompts. I find most writing prompts too general or specific to be helpful. The ones in this book are just generic enough to spark your imagination and everyone's response will be completely different. Depending on your story idea, plot, characters and writing style, the response to the following prompts will look vastly different from another writer's. How does this work? Well, when you hit a roadblock in a particular scene, play with one of the prompts and see how your character responds, what comes out of their mouth. Then, let the other characters respond to that line. Here's an example. For the following prompt, I can have a character respond one of many ways (and I literally just came up with these as I'm writing this book summary). SAMPLE PROMPT - Ask someone to leave Now, what's the next line out of your character's mouth? Is it: -- You know what, get the hell out! -- Look, I'm tired. Can we talk about this tomorrow? I'll have Peter drive you home. -- Will you please just leave! I can't do this. I can't talk to you anymore! -- Either he goes or I go. Which will it be? See how all these are very different ways for a character to essentially ask (or try to force) another character to leave? The key is to work with the response that works best for your situation. You should have a sense of what the scene is about and your character's goals, but that's all you really need! I love these prompts. You can insert them any time you hit a wall. They always seem to get my creative juices going. Sometimes I find that I've gone on to write an entire scene and I didn't even end up keeping the lines that the prompts generated! It was enough just to get me unstuck and get my characters interacting again. I hope these prompts can help others too. If folks vote and comment to let me know that they've helped, I'll post 10 prompts per chapter for the next 10 weeks. Cheers! We'll start with a chapter and a bonus one too.

Sick of cliché Wattpad books? Then this isn't the book for you. We take every single over-used plot, character and trope on Wattpad - from player-meets-nerd to my-boyfriend-is-a-vampire - and mash it all into one, awful, hilarious parody. NOTE: This is a parody. Characters have not been created to mock a race/nationality/sexuality, they have been created to lightly poke fun at the way certain teen fiction writers reduce them into crude stereotypes. Thanks for helping this pile of junk get to #1 in Humor!

While marked as complete, expect ongoing editing and bonus content to appear. Cover made in Canva
