Success Instructions: Create Manuscript Pages to write your story. When you have at least 10, rework your story to improve its Potential and get the best price. Improve your piece to 30 Potential to continue making your name. For this short story, you'll need no more than 10 Pages and 30 Potential. Writing more will bring no additional benefit.
