Hello all! It is about time I do something like this. For the next few weeks (possibly) I’ll be doing these little guides to my writing. What these will entail is little bits and bops that I do in my writing. Most of which can be figured out by looking at them... but this is a clear guide, and will basically be the rules that I follow for them. Worded a little wrong, but I’ll leave it... anyway. Below the break I will talk about... well what the title talks about: line breaks, or whatever they

Getting a story featured is a combination of reader count, likes vs. dislikes, age, and momentum. This means get lots of readers fast, and get them to like and comment. For subsequent chapters, you want the original readers to watch and favorite the story so they’ll be notified right away when you update.

How to get lots of readers fast:

Hello my beloved followers!

Some of you may know that I am writing reviews for stories for a few years now, in my group: My Little Reviews & Feedback

Today I made a Guide how to write a review. I don't know what it is worth, but I thought I share it with you too if someone is interested in reviews that is. I copied it from my thread:

Edit: The information in this guide to my writing is no longer accurate, a new one will be made soon.

As a language constructed for the purpose of standardizing speech across the Third Empire, pronunciation is uniform. This becomes apparent in several ways when Standard Angaeic is represented using pony characters, such as the lack of the letter [c], but is most notable when it comes to the representation of vowels. There are more vowel characters in Standard Angaeic, but because each has uniform pronunciation, there are actually fewer vowel sounds. To denote which vowel sound is

Welcome back, everyone! I hope you had a productive weekend. I know I did. I did some more editing on Beyond the Borderlands (who's excited for chapter 18?) and, at long last, finished up reading Ancillary Justice and put together my thoughts on it on my other site. Whether you've heard of Ancillary Justice or not, you might find it worth a read.

I've found that drawing windows for buildings SUCK
they're time consuming, you have to have set ups and guides to align them perfectly,
and even if you do align them, they tend to look too clean and mechanical that it's plain...UGLY
so here is my guide to to a rougher and faster way to draw windows

The purpose of this guide is to teach you, the writer, what you should and shouldn’t do to assure the quality of your stories, and to show you how to best communicate with other authors as well as your audience. We, the authors of this guide, understand this will come across as telling you what to do, but that is the point of any style guide or anyone offering advice. There are many ways of creating and viewing storytelling. We are merely providing our viewpoints on it.

Today's topic, despite its lateness, is one that I feel is important. It's not a long topic, nor do I think it will take much time to discuss, but it's something that needs to be said.

Set your sights higher.

In fairness, that's a good statement ... but it's also pretty vague. So, what am I actually talking about? Let's start with a little backstory.

Hi guys recently felt like I have been neglecting lulu, and was thinking of writing a few chapters focusing on her and get some development in for her. What do you think and is there any characters you wish to see more of?

Is anyone still tracking this story? I'm not whining (I promise) I know it's my own fault for not posting for so long, but I'm trying to decide if I need to post the new chapter in the next couple of days or not. I've finished about half of the next chapter and if I need to I can crank out the rest in a day or so, but I wanted to make sure that at least somebody is still waiting on it before I neglect sleep to finish it. Feel free to leave me a comment and let me know, also feel free to tell me

I've only written six stories and people are already confused about certain overarching elements in them. This is understandable, given that I haven't really explained that my stories are part of a series. This blog post is an attempt to rectify this error. This is the reading order that I believe makes the most sense for my stories, though there is an awful lot of wiggle room in there. If you want to read a given story by itself, there's usually not much need to read any earlier stories in

So, what's new on this fine overcast (here near Seattle) Friday afternoon?

I have a bunch of half-written chapters for it. I have a bunch of half-written chapters for all my fics...

You all saw this coming. I think I'm the only one that didn't want to admit it.

Sorry guys.

Hello. My name is Sudden Storm. I do hope Mr Hadley's presentation wasn't too harsh, and he didn't ramble too much. Give him a big round of applause. I'm only joking. Lighten up the mood.

Today we're tackling a topic directly. Head on. We'll be discussing a problem I often see throughout literature, especially work from new writers or in the area of fanfiction (and both are probably bolstered by the fact that most television deliberately commits this act in order to pad out run-time).
