How to write like a Pirate, Get readers, and other inspirational crap
I get asked a lot for advice so I'm going to sum up all of it here. So sit down, shut up, and don't go anywhere because this book will change your life. Or at least it better, otherwise you're probably doing something wrong. I'll cover things like: General Advice on being a better Writer or anything really. Why you aren't getting any reads, and how to get more. Tips, life lessons, and what I learned the hard way. How to be a good reader and why that matters. How to fix basic problems about your story to help it get noticed. Basic advice on Tags, cover, description. I'll talk about things you may not even know you are doing wrong yet. What it means to be a Pirate as a writer and why you should be one too. And I'll update more as needed. Generally, it's a bunch of stuff that's not always obvious or you didn't think about at first. Lessons that I discovered through a long painful process of trial and error. Everything may not be exactly right in everyone's eyes, but nobody's perfect. Be aware, this book may both change your life for the better and unapologetically attack you on a personal level at the same time. Because how can you know what to fix if you didn't know what is broken? You can write. You can be a writer, novice or professional. And maybe you are simply failing in some way because nobody told you what-not-to-do yet. Let me tell you. Let me break you down and build you up so that you can succeed. But I can't help you if you don't let me. So give me that chance and read this from start to finish.Complete
junk journal
This is simply for the junk that doesn't have a home elsewhere. This is a home for collections of OC work, AU plots from other works of mine, cut chapters, mixed fandoms, or just insane ramblings. There is no rhythm or reason to what gets posted here or why. Updates will be as inconsistent as my brain. Each work will have a word count, short descriptions, and (if applicable) trigger warnings, included at the beginning of each work. General trigger warning themes throughout the story will include violence, language, sexual conduct, etc. Trigger warnings will be included at the beginning of each story with a full description in the comments to expand upon the specific details of each chapter. Please note that some points are unclear or implied for plot purposes, but suggested in the trigger warnings to not be overlooked. If anything is missed, please don't hesitate to reach out! *Sexual conduct chapters are marked. Female x Male - Male x Male - Female x Female 𓇼 ⋆｡˚ 𓆝⋆｡˚ 𓇼

Elijah Grant and the Professor's Compass
True Words from the Author: Before you start to read I would like to say, first and foremost, thank you for your valuable time. Every writer likes to be read but every great writer loves to be followed in their own way. I think I am somewhere in the middle. I have a great story to tell but my writing gets in the way at unpredictable intervals. Forgive me for this. The story which I am now sending you has a few historic innuendos and timeline changes that may make you think that I am crazy but believe you me there is a purpose to my madness. I am not a great or even a good writer as of yet but my drive to become so is second to none. I say this not as an excuse for my shortcomings but as a plea for you to be harsh and openly honest about what you think. Do not deliberate for a second that anything you say will hurt or discourage me from writing more. This is my passion. I can never achieve my goal if I only hear opinions from people that believe what they are saying will make me feel better. I need opinions that will make me work harder. Lastly, after reading the Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, Twilight, Artemis Fowl and of course Harry Potter, I am convinced that this story can be just as special with your help. YOUR OPINION IS VERY IMPORTANT... so don't waste it being worried about my feelings. Now without further ado I bring to you: Elijah Grant and the Professor’s CompassComplete
Evolution
There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.Complete

SomeGuy's Writing Advice And Tips And STUFF
I am SomeGuy. People have enjoyed reading my chapters across all my fics for some reason, and I saw that a handful of my readers were people either interested in writing or already writers, so I decided to make this to help everyone else out. I'm not a professional writer though, and some of these things might not apply to you, so take some of my tips with a grain of salt. Writing isn't as easy as people think, and I would know, 'cause I thought this would be easier than it actually turned out being. I've been writing for a few years now, but it's still hard at times, and it probably won't get any easier. I doubt this book will change much for you, but I still want to make life easier even by a little bit. This will include writing advice, tips and stuff. Let's cook together, chat.Complete
