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.

So I get asked A LOT how to write a good love story or what makes a good love story. The answer is I honestly have no fucking clue I cant give you any advice because i don't know your characters. But I can write about what you should and most certainly should not do based on character types. Wanna make an unyielding monstrous woman fall in love with a prince? A loner fall in love with a beautiful fae girl? Maybe a playboy in love with a nerd? Maybe I can help, even if just a little.

Here's what they don't teach you in school about what it takes to survive in the publishing business. I can promise you one thing: If you want your book in print badly enough, you can make it happen if you don't give up. #140 in non-fiction 1/19/16 #236 in non-fiction 1/18/16 #371 in non-fiction 3/1/16 #281 in non-fiction 3/3/16 #150 in non-fiction 3/18/16 #67 in non-fiction 8/19/2016 #960 in non-fiction 1/28/2017 with 6.7K views
