Or maybe not as big a surprise as you think, considering I've been doing these things for quite a while now. That's right, everypony (and elk), it's time for a new panel! If you live in England you're lucky, as you don't have to travel so far to be able to witness this new shining spectacle for yourself. I will be going to UK PonyCon in Nottingham, England, to give a panel, not about writing this time, but about doing panels! Maybe this blog post is a bit of a surprise after all...

And here is a little list of keywords I used when I created my third writing panel. I thought it might be interesting to read for other people who want to make a panel themselves, so they know how to get started. It's actually really simple. I collected subjects to talk about, summarized them into keywords, and then explained the keywords to the audience using pictures and examples.

Get in character! Making of

Different writing styles (detailed sketch vs on the fly)

But wait, there's more! I finally released my second book about writing, 'Elkia's Awesome Additions' on Equestria Daily. Of course it is full of fresh, new writing tips and additions on previous tips, but there is also a whole section on poetry, which I am especially proud to present. I hope 'Elkia's Awesome Additions' will help you to up your game, and make sure your fiction will be worthy to be read by Princess Celestia herself.

But this time I'm not travelling so far. I'm staying in my home country, the Netherlands, where I will do a panel on making characters at Hearth's Warming Con 2018. I'm so excited that I once more get a chance to share my passion with the world, or, well, with the Netherlands...

As promised, here's the making of of my second book, 'Worlds Apart.' RIght here you can get an inside view into my head as a writer. It's fun to see how different the story turned out, as you can see here. Have fun reading!

Plot outline:

-Triggerhoof explains situation a little bit (scolding and swearing)

-He gets attacked by junkie

-Triggerhoof asks him where the drugs are. The junkie tells him, then Trig shoots him

The train is literally driving somewhere around 30 miles per hour. But, look at the bright side: this breakneck ride gives me plenty of time to write my blog.
