Learn to write like the best of writers. Learn to write beautifully. Learn to write like a rose will grow. *** How to Write Beautiful Fiction is different from other 'how to' books for fiction writers. It discusses the philosophical concepts behind writing beautiful fiction, fiction that will never leave a person's mind, fiction that engages an audience right to its thrilling, satisfying, or engaging end. In this book, you will learn secrets on how to grow as a real writer, how to develop habits that will serve you in the long run, and how to impress others with words and leave them on the edge of their seats. Covering plot, ideas, structure, tools, and more, this story is the 'soul' of the fiction writer's craft. So what are you waiting for? Read on.

On my blog (www.lydiasanders.com) I have a series called "An Eclectic Writing Class" where I gather resources on productivity, writing craft, grammar, and vocabulary into monthly lessons. These monthly posts also include updates on my own writing projects and writing prompts of my own creation. Rather than including my prompt-inspired writing in my blog posts, I've opted to post it here on Wattpad. This isn't intended to be well-polished writing, and I don't want critiques or editing help for these scenes---I know they're all kinds of messed up. The parts won't necessarily follow any sort of story structure or make sense. Aside from typing up what I've written and fixing a few spelling and punctuation errors, this is unedited. There are even [placeholder words] and {notes to myself} within the text which I'll need to change later if I end up actually using this writing for anything. Most of the prompts are phrases intended to be somehow included in the scene. Beginning sentence, ending sentence, worked into the middle somehow--it doesn't matter. These phrases can be found in the part titles. You're welcome to take the prompts and use them to spark your own work. I would love to see what you come up with. I recommend setting a timer for 20-25 minutes and writing whatever pops into your head. If you need to tweak something in the phrase to make it work for your story, like changing a pronoun or swapping an animal out for a different one, go for it. There are no rules here. Just write. If you would like to check out the blog post lesson associated with the parts, you can click the external link at the bottom of each part. Cheers!

Hello readers and aspiring authors! Living Life Authorly will be an ongoing list of articles that I write and include in my newsletters. Every other month, I will focus on some aspect of writing or some aspect of being a writer, and that piece will be included in the bimonthly (every other month) newsletter I send out to my followers. A month after sending out my newsletter, I post the article to my blog. I will also start posting them here on my Wattpad page as well. Some articles might be about my experiences in the world of writing, my adventures at book and author events, or tips and ideas about writing and marketing. Whatever I might be writing about, I hope it will offer some inspiration or encouragement to you in some way or another. Happy reading and writing! - J.E. Johnson

In this book each chapter is a writing prompt, often some dialogue to inspire you. As a fantasy/romantasy writer these writing prompts are from those genres. You'll also find common tropes like arranged/forced marriage, enemies-to-lovers, and lots more. Here some examples of what you'll find: My fiancé tried to murder me. Granted, he didn't know back then that I was his fiancé. That doesn't stop me from holding a grudge though. I loved the beast. And it cost me everything. She could have killed me. The opportunity had been there. Instead, she'd thrown me into a cell deep in her basement. A smile curved my lips. That could only mean one thing. She liked me.

Hi guys! This is a fiction high school love story. It's honestly kind of cheesy and cliche, but it's supposed to be I guess. Lol. This is for the #TKBMovieContest writing contest!! Enjoy! :)))

This book is for any writer out there, especially the ones here on Quotev and fiction writers! All the elements of writing, I'll get into them. With examples, exercises, and questions! This is a compilation of writing tips and things I've learned about writing. There are a lot of useful writing ideas, tips, how-to's, and tricks out there. Here, I compile all the ones I think are good! I don't copy others, either. I learn from others, and then write it in my own words with my own style.
