    The needs of the many...

    I'm starting to make some real progress on my story "Danger Close" (unfortunately I'm still stalled out on "The Blue and the Grey") and I've already got almost two thousand words into the next chapter. My latest move is to find a possible new use for Daring Doo. She appeared early in my story, but I haven't worked her in very much since. The idea I had was for her is to possibly pursue a

    Uncharted Waters

    I've been working recently at the latest chapter of "Danger Close", and I've run into a problem. I've wanted to let one of my characters have a speech impediment, namely an occasional stammer. But, not having any personal experience with anyone with this issue, and having no training in the subject matter, I can't help but worry about whether I can do this and not have the character just seem

    The Cost of War

    I am making more progress of recent on the story "Danger Close" and I hope to have another chapter out within the next week or so. I'm aware that I don't have a huge following, but I still plan to finish the stories I've started. Today, my writing had to take a nasty turn as I've had to kill a character.

    Do Stories Have An Expiration Date?

    My story, "Danger Close", was originally started in the middle of 2019, right in the middle of the last season of MLP:FIM. I admit that it's been a long haul trying to figure out just how I wanted to structure it, and exactly how the story should develop. I'm not much of a writer, and even as a reader I tend to stick a little too much to history as opposed to fiction, which can limit one's

    Something is Coming

    I've been plowing ahead these last few days on the long delayed next chapter of "Danger Close", and I think I can say that it will be finished by next week. I should ideally feel a certain sense of pride, were it not for the fact that it has taken me close to two years to get this far. It's not that surprising as such things go. There are a lot of stories out there that have stalled out over the

Another perspective from another writer · 5:03pm Apr 26th, 2019

Stumbled today across another story of what happened in Canterlot during the Storm King invasion. Oh my...I'm not sure what to think. By description, it reminds me of what I have planned, though it certainly isn't identical by any stretch. I guess it shows that someone else had a similar insight as to some of the problems with the movie's plot, which I guess shows that I was onto something. (it is a bit silly to think that I was the only one who noticed) It sounds though like he took a much more straightforward course with his story though, and he's a much more experienced writer than I am. So, should I feel a bit nervous, challenged, or jealous? Probably not. But it's an interesting challenge nonetheless, and it makes me want to bring my A-game to this, whatever that turns out to be.
