With practice, you can expect to improve at whatever skill you're working towards developing. Even if you feel you're ill-equipped or lacking in talent, the repetition of exercise will undoubtedly result in progress, whether remarkable or incremental. It is important to remain steadfast and focused throughout any creative exertion, as therein remains the truest growth.

If you'd like to participate in fun writing exercises, you've come to the right place! We're all fledglings in the literary field, and even as fanfiction goes, there's always room to improve when attempting to convey a meaningful written message - we're all hopeful to produce the next great pony work, and there's hundreds of reknown pieces we've read and adored.

Imagine if you were the author of one of those notable pieces. You really should - you're already there! All you need to do is hone the necessary skills: learn, listen, and repeat over and over again. To truly recognise your personal voice, you have to converse with yourself ad infinitum. It's tough, it is embarrassing, and it will pull you in all sorts of emotional directions.

This is where you can do that. This is where we want to learn along with you, celebrate the effort, and cheer you on. You will find a spark of brilliance, and eventually create a wonderful story that, upon publishing, shall forever be archived in our "Winning" folder, for the rest of us to quietly hate you for succeeding appreciate and enjoy!

Come and join us, won't you?
