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.
