Welcome back writers! It’s another Monday, and you know what that means. It’s time for more Being a Better Writer!
Chapter 10 is typed out and edited, now I'm just trying to get one of my prereaders to look it over and see if I messed anything up royally XD Very excited to be putting out more content, though I've been slow with my writing and editing lately. Gonna try and pace it up, but I can't promise anything
I've inserted a paragraph of foreshadowing to Part 2 of Project Pink Slip in Twilight's Secret Journal that I'd mistakenly left out of the final edit.
Of course, I'm not telling you which one it is.
So as you guys have likely seen, I have a new story goin' out right now. It's not exactly right to call it a story, though. Talking is Hard is meant to be an exercise so I can practice dialogue, which I've gone on record several times to say is the bane of my writing. But I'm not here to talk about that. Not quite.
I'm here to share the process I typically use when designing story covers.
Do you guys see what I see?
Need a closer look?
I was going through some EqG trying to get some idea how the journal works for a story, and I found a scene in Sunset's room in Forgotten Friendship and... wait, what?
Today’s post is going to be more about editing. Sort of. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
So first, welcome back readers! I hope you all had a good weekend! Especially with Episode 12 of Fireteam Freelance having dropped on Saturday. Was that a ride or what?
After much editing and revising, and not having a chance to have anyone proofread or edit it because my friends are busy, it has arrived! Chapter 11 of my FoE fic!!!!
Hey guys! New story up tonight! This one is called Home, Sweet Home, and it's dedicated to all the underappreciated writers out there who work so hard, but still feel like they're not improving, or that they'll never be noticed. I know for a fact that I feel like that all the damn time, so writing this was definitely very personally cathartic. You can find it on the sidebar, or down here:
Not the action, mind you, but forcing myself to actually do it. It's doubly hard when the stuff you're working on is just fine, but you came up with a much better idea for how the story should go.
Blegh.
Stay classy.

Firstly, firstly, firstly… a shout out for Arian Blaze, a friend of mine who's got a tiring week ahead of her but is on 99 followers, so please somebody push her into triple digits!
Secondly, I've been doing a bit of editing and proofreading lately. Mostly little one-shot stories, because I don't have the patience for anything long. I keep a bookshelf of stuff I've edited and proofread here:
...when this happened:
