Why hello there! My name is Osamu Dazai; a dashing, charming, and handsome young lad in search of a beautiful maiden to commit a lover's-suicide with! But alas, my search remains fruitless. Unfortunately, I simply cannot die without that lovely lady, therefore forcing me to live an empty life of sorrow until the day we meet. And so, out of boredom, I have wrote you all this fantastic book on how you can live in such a cruel and meaningless world! (thank me later~) ----------------------------- This was inspired by chuuyanakahara's "Chuuya's book of advices and tips." The link to the book can be found here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/94950586?utm_source=android&utm_medium=link&utm_content=share_reading&wp_page=reading&wp_uname=Sukaretto_Kozai&wp_originator=KfhPStTrUPz%2BFYHZTkgO9DEf2DPNoRTMQbEWv83k3gYGS6Xv%2FPXOlImVPkLtV7nRDMJWdtt2Wc8UmhUoYE1Y6jQ0s2CD08%2BKieOThkOn2X2G8s1xULdSqBaM%2FbUNhHR6

Is it just me, or is learning to write fiction just a series of questions and answers that lead to more questions? The longer I spend with other writers, the more I realize I still have to learn. This book will discuss some of the many questions I have had (or still have) about writing. I'll also answer some questions people have asked me. How do I write good stories? How do you write so many words so fast? What genre is it anyway? Do I really NEED to do it that way? Is there a way to find readers for my work? What is a critique partner? How can you know what you don't know? The list goes on. I'm sure I'll come up with even more while I'm writing the book. Which is why I don't know exactly where this book will take me. I just know I'll learn a lot and, hopefully, give you something of value as well. Join me as I write about what I've learned so far and ask the questions I'm still working through. Share your own knowledge in the comments. Ask questions you want the answers to. No matter who you are or how long you've been writing (or if you're just thinking you might want to start), this is your place, too. Welcome.
