@lizzie_zehnder13 It's okay, i couldn't figure it out either.
You go to "My Works", and do new story. If you already have wrote a story but can't publish go to that story/chapter and press "edit".
Then make sure you have a title, wrote a fair amount of writing (which you may edit later).
Sometimes it will ask you to pick a genre, tags, or rating (like PG and stuff). You can do that, but Genre is required for other people to find you stories and stuff.
Once you do that press "save". It will say saved in the (close to)upper right hand corner. If it doesn't it might ask you to fill out more information down there.
Once you save it you can click "Save and Publish", but you have to read the terms and conditions first or after that, it depends what it asks you.
I think thats pretty much it.
Sorry if that was confusing.
I had Amelia go on my account and do it for me LOL. But i got used to it later and figured it out.
