Stories hold power.  The power to invoke thoughts in others, the power to inspire others to create - whether it be movies or inventions - and the power to transport others to a multitude of realities.

- LeeAnn Hagopian

Fictional writing is a creative act.  That said, structures and suggestions have been developed for the general form as well as specific genres.  While the creative part is up to the individual writer, this guide attempts to provide resources for writers of all ages on the structural aspects of the creative art of writing fiction - hoping to provide writers with the tools to help transfer the boundless world of their imagination onto pages for others to read.  Whether you are someone who is trying out fiction writing for the first time or someone who has already published a novel, this guide has resources for you.  This guide covers topics from plot structure and character development to the various popular genres and how to get your story out for others to read.  I hope you will find this guide helpful in transferring your story onto paper, creating a new world for all to read.
