The guide for aspiring fiction writers who want to improve, sharpen, review, and/or learn. Warning! This book encourages editing and contains many tips that often require revision. Practice makes perfect, and it's good to workout your mental muscles. The more you do now, the better your writing will be later (because you'll correct yourself *before* you get it on paper). If you think your writing is perfect or you're lazy or unwilling to try new shoes on your baby, just turn away now. You'll find this guide about as useful as hoarding frozen peas.

(Sequel to Watty Award Winner "Dear Sydney") College isn't for everyone. Sometimes school is meant to end after the twelveth grade. So when Sydney Porter decided to leave James Madison University after her sophomore year, her boyfriend of two years did what any good boyfriend would do: he encouraged her to follow her dreams. So Sydney followed her dreams of becoming a concert violinist...all the way to New York City. 350 miles is less than 3,000, but it's still a ways away. And what better to do during long-distance relationships...than write letters? Yet success in a career sometimes means leaving behind people who used to mean the world to you...and sometimes letters become addressed to whoever will receive them, instead of to the person they'd been written to for years. Because, as much as we don't want them to... Every letter has to end. **And naturally, it's written in Dear Sydney's signature style...so don't worry.** First official chapter published: April 24th, 2017 Highest Rank: #77 in Teen Fiction on 9/7/17 Cover by @Queen_InTheWild

It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE with an upcoming film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios coming to Tubi. Stay tuned for film release updates! In the meantime, read the original story that inspired the film. KISSING IS THE EASY PART is published by Wattpad Books. Please order from the link in my profile. *** Being beautiful might as well be Flora Morgan's only talent. Some of the words she hates include economy class, second-hand clothes, and budget. She likes fashion, dating, not being on time and getting what she wants - until she meets Sean, who is like the clock striking midnight; he erases all her magic power. He is as mature and sophisticated as the dark roasted coffee he drinks, while she is like a lollipop: colorful, dazzling on the outside but empty calories and artificial sweeteners on the inside. The attraction is instant, but getting a kiss is only the first step. To keep their fire burning, they must accept each other's differences and decide if what they're building is strong enough to survive trials, jealousy, expectations, and the fear of becoming someone they no longer recognize.

Lana Jane Willson, just a depressed and misunderstood geeky teenager because of her glasses and her dad being the Sheriff. Yet all she wants is to get into Yale, far away from everyone, the incidents, the heartbreaker and the bullies. Four popular boys, suspicious about Lana, reignite an old bet that her 'true' self will be exposed as time goes on. One night in Lana's life changes everything. The only people to help her are her tormentors. This causes the boys to have more questions, fights, and arguments more frequently. The more people involved, the more questions arise, secrets reveal themselves, trust is shattered, feelings become blurred and friendship is ripped apart. While Lana sees, the good and forgives easily, others search for the bad to try and defeat it. People cross our path for a reason but for a second chance, it does not always mean to have a happy ending. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PART 1 & 2 Highest Rank: 1 in Teen Fiction (27/12/16)
