I'll show you how to improve your story with just a few tips and exercises. Writing a novel can be confusing, especially if you're new to it. Even if you're a pro at writing, it still helps to be refreshed. This is my way to help you. Hopefully it WILL help in your journey as a writer, and if you have questions, please ask me. I'll address topics such as: ~The five senses ~Believable characters ~Improving first drafts ~Plot twists ~Dialogue ~Descriptions ...And much more. Oh, and one more thing before you begin reading. I know there are a lot of chapters, and a ton of content, but don't overwhelm yourself! Try starting off with a couple topics you know you could improve on, work on those, and then read a couple more. If you read all of these chapters at once it may be a bit too much to take on! So take your writing journey as slow as you need, and work on it one step at a time.

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.**

There's rejected mates, White Wolf Syndrome, stalking, abusive behavior, and rouge or rogue? Who knows the answer to these burning questions? I know. Well... sorta... It's all just my opinion to be honest. Warning: contains cursing, sarcasm, and terrible jokes. (written in 2016 with a few edits up until present, may add stuff as people suggest them. please feel free to converse in the comments. leave a question and i'll be happy to answer it... eventually... hopefully sometime in the same year....)
