Author Advice: I'll be giving out some advice for authors that I found very helpful. Don't mean I'm 100% accurate, but I am going to do my best to help out!!

(Left typos and mistakes BC I'm human too).

1) How Do I Come Up With A Title?

A: I think I got this question about three times in the past month so ima try making this an easy to understand answer.

First, you must have the plot, characters, setting, and even a theory going. The best book has a small sort of mystery attached to it which adds to the readers being able to make a theory of what will happen or what has happened that no one has seen, (I'll elaborate on this in another part), but with this in mind, a title should come after you have this.

Second, make sure you have everything set up. A title, cover, and summary can come AFTER you have the story though out. Don't do what I did and make a cover without knowing where you want the story to go.

And lastly, the title should have the story focus at heart.

For instance, a story of a girl dying and someone trying to solve the mystery behind it can be called many things. Maybe "Ghost of the past" or "Till Death Do Us Part" with a title like that we could say the person solving the mystery in one way or another had something to do with her death or maybe she had a secret crush on the investigator so now he's trying to see how this killed her.

DON'T EVER USE CLICHÉ TITLES. THEY ARE EXTREMELY annoying, obnoxious, dumb, overused, and boring.

I can't tell you just how many times I've seen: "My mate the alpha... " "Falling in love with my bully... " "Married to (insert name of some idol or famous person)" "Kidnapped by... " "Arranged to... " and any sort of books that fall in this category of Bad Book Titles.

Seriously, you want to use a catchy new title that people haven't seen often, but that still relates to the book. Something fresh and not used often without spoiling the book.

2)I want to write fanfiction but I don't know where to start? Help?!

Basic starter pack:

-Plot
-Characters
-Setting
-Grammar/Spelling (Editor)
-Present or Past
-POV
-Pre-written Chapters
-Authors Note
-Prologue
-Epilogue? (Optional)
-Plan Out
-Timeline
-Summary
-Tittle
-Cover Photo

I will cover all these in order to show you just how difficult writing should be, and why it's all-important.

Plot: Most important thing is to have a plot thought out before anything goes down.

The best FF are the ones that don't follow the norms, that are new and creative and have a venturous side to it.

Many books have "been there, done that," so try coming up with something new and unique.

Also, remember the audience you want to reach and the amount of time you'll spend writing.

Characters: Next are characters.

Who will be involved and why?

Why are they important and how will they progress the plot in any way, shape, or form.

It's important for characters to have a point in the story. Don't just throw characters for no reason.

Setting:
