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. Other experienced writers will help cover a wide range of topics to help give you the best instruction possible.

Hei! Tämä teos ei ole tarina tai kokoelma runoista taikka novelleista. Halusin keksiä tavan jolla tuoda ajatuksena olevat tarinat teidän tietoonne, kommentoitavaksi ja tämän parempaa en keksinyt. Aika ajoin keksin uuden juonen uudelle tarinalle tai pikkuisen siemenen, joka voisi lähteä itämään, mutta en tiedä oliko sillä halukkaita lukijoita. Siispä tämä teos on se johon tulen näitä kirjaamaan ylös ja sinulla on mahdollisuus kertoa kuulostaako tarina mielenkiintoiselta. Sinulla on mahdollisuus antaa ideoita joita sinulla tarinaan liittyen syntyy tai jos itse keksit täydellisen kokonaisuuden voit kysyä; "Hei saanko napata tämän idean itselleni." Ideoita kuuluu minusta jakaa. Niitä ei pidä lukita pieneen laatikkoon, pitää omana ja toivoa että se kasvaisi niin suureksi, että siitä tulisi tarina. Jokaisen tarinan täytyy päästä kerrottavaksi ja joskus minun idean siemen ei pääse kukkimaan, mutta sinun kanssasi se voi. Enimmäkseen tämä teos on minun julkaisemattomia tarinoita varten, mutta jos itse tahdot oman tekeleesi tämän teoksen sivuille niin ihmeessä pistä minulle viestiä ja voin sen tänne laittaa muiden ajatusten armoille. Love, Paula

Probably the biggest list on Wattpad of different Names. I have had so many different kind of name requests. This book will be full of names from Cyberpunk- to steampunk- to time period and genre to even nationality popular names. I hope you do enjoy. This book is much broader than the others. But if you need a name go check out Girl Character Names and Boy Names as well.
