An older Rainbow Dash recalls her short lived attempts at writing, her experiences with a most vexing writing group, and how she dealt with a curiously obsessive Twilight Sparkle: the pony that signed her up for the writing class in the first place.

In a story on stories, and the trials that lie behind writing them, Rainbow reflects on her larger struggle of creativity and purpose, and in the process gets to contend with the art, if it can be called such, of critique.
