"Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not." - Isaac Asimov This piece is intended as a bit of a Help guide, a point of reference and hopefully something people will enjoy, as ultimately all of you will have different experiences reading and writing science fiction, and writing in general. If nothing else, I hope it inspires you to try your hand at writing Science Fiction if you haven't already.

You want to publish your book. I did, too. It happened, and the more I learn, the more I realize having an English major doesn't prepare you to be a published author. 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

This is where we talk about writing romance. Everyone is welcome! Tips Corner is an interactive learning format rather than teaching. We all love to read or write romance and whether we realise it or not, are experts and have ideas to offer. There are many 'how to' guides on writing romance so rather than provide another one here, we will learn from each other. There are no right and wrong answers and what works for one person mightn't for another. Hopefully our discussions will inspire us write the stories that attract gazillions of readers.

This story is to simply help those who don't understand the werewolf stories and would enjoy reading some. This is like a beginners guide to the were wolf genre. All the information in this book is mainly what I have learned through out my 2 years of reading this genre. I love it and understand how it feels to not understand, ( I know that sounds weird, but just go with it) If you are having trouble understanding the ways of werewolf's then, by all means, read this book. P.S. Thank you to everyone who votes for my story and comments if I should add something in, I really appreciate the support. An additional thanks you goes to people who add my story to your reading lists. I didn't expect many people to support the guide so THANK YOU! P.P.S Please do not take my ideas or take my writing. Thanks! ----------------------- Thank you @lovetowrite2222 for the cover!

(Editing in Progress) 👑 2016 Watty Award Winner - Writer's Debut 👑 -Milestones- •1K Votes - (1.2.17) •44K Reads - (8.15.17) •Highest Ranking: #18 (Short Story - 8.16.2017) **Ranked #1 in BDD Prince William is one of many well-known princes' in New York despite the fact that no one has seen him in person for nearly four years; he has the fame, the fortune, and the power. However, he is battling a mental illness that he just can't seem to get rid of. After being diagnosed with BDD-Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Jack begins to fall into a sense of depression. His mind begins to play tricks on him, making him believe that his outer appearance is grotesque and needs to be hidden from the world. He's lost nearly all self-esteem, making it very difficult for him to find his lovely princess, and live a "normal" life; that and the fact that he never leaves his humble mansion...EVER. He's been turned down repeatedly in the past from true beauties, such as, Rapunzel, Snow White, and the one and only, Cinderella; even her ugly step-sisters wouldn't give him a chance. As time passed, his numerous experiences with rejection, his undying fear, and heart-breaking memories made his life seem hopeless, pressuring him to do desperate things. Jack later decides to seek out a way to alter his appearance. He stumbles onto what seems to be the prayer he's been asking for but he accidentally finds it in the wrong place leading him to an evil-minded con-artist. To beat all odds, Jack must face his illness head-on and overcome it before his life is left with nothing but pain, negativity, and regret. Original cover design by: @zuko_42 Art of Zuko
