Writing Skill
The Writing skill starts out with the options to Practice Writing, start Fiction Novel and start Non-Fiction Novel. As your level progress you have the added options of additional Novel types, and the royalties paid for these also increase.
- The option to write Children's Books appeared after writing the first Fiction Novel. Unsure of what skill level this requires (Sim was at 10).
