    A quick Slamjam postmortem note

    So, the creator of one of the OCs I wrote about just about flipped his lid at me because I gave his character a gay shipping story, ruining his message of platonic bromance and emotionally vulnerable heterosexual dudes.

    Part 1: Poetry

    “But I hate poetry” well that’s because you’re doing it wrong. A poem of the type that we were told to write in this class is just a short, condensed piece of work that shows who you are and what you do as a writer.

    Lesson 0: Learn the rules before you break them

    I know full well that I'm talking down to a lot of people in this post--my excuse is that writing it out is also a way for me to refresh the lessons in my own mind. Story tags are because I plan to go back and "grade myself" based on my own advice as i write these.

    All is right in ponydom

    I know, I said I would do a thing, and then I didn't.

    I will. I promise. Next post.

    But first, I need to share this with you: a friend has informed me that One Terrible Writer has posted all of his stories, previously thought to be lost forever, on fanfiction.net.

    Knighty HATES him! Honolulu-area baker reveals how to improve your writing with 3 simple rules!

    I’ve seen it a few times, and you probably have too: people will say stuff along the lines of “I bet this person took a community college course in creative writing and now they think they're so great.” It’s a very resonant insult for classists like me. Besides, it’s rooted in fact: the level of literacy needed to pass community college courses in this town is miserably low.

Just another day at Canterlot High · 7:30am May 4th, 2015

The air was burning with the smell of brimstone and magic, and the echoing silence was punctuated by the thumping tumble of the last pieces of rubble rolling to a stop on either side of where the front door of the gym used to be.


I blinked hard, squeezing the dust from my eyes and the haze from my memories.


Less than an hour ago, my name had been Blue. The students and faculty all knew me by that name, an abbreviation for a longer name that did matter. “Blue” had been thin and gawky and somewhere around sixteen years of age, which was just right for a high schooler. Blue had been a quiet boy, friendly enough, but with an odd way of disappearing into the background when asked about his personal life. In a way, of course, I was, or had been, a boy named Blue. I had certainly attended this school. I had made friends, of a sort. Most importantly, the students had known a boy named Blue, and that meant he had been real.


Blue took just one more long, slow breath. I opened my eyes.
