Floral Breeze was a young Earth pony filly who got herself lost in the Everfree Forest. Will she make it out, or has her fate already been set in stone?

Okay... I am just going to start reading and hope to see improvements.

Floral Breeze was a young Earth filly who's got her name due to her fur being as green as the grass and her mane was as yellow as the pedals of a sunflower. She was an orphan who only found happiness from planting flowers across Ponyville, hence why she became a gardener as evidence by her cutie mark that resembled three purple lilies. However, one Nightmare Night, her life has been changed in a way that is not what she expected.

Okay... still needs work, but in comparison to your earlier descriptions in writing, this is certainly better! Still, keep working. You have a long way to go as for improvements.

Then, she heard some rustling noises coming from the bushes behind her. Not willing to stay there and not wanting to know what was making the noise, she starts running to find another place to hide, quickly forgetting about the fog due to being in a state of panic. Unknown to the scared filly, the noise was from a creature that has a deadly stare and is actually chasing after her once it determined that she was its next victim.

...once again, we don't need every detail. It kinda takes away from the actual thrill that such a chase would provide. I'd recommend writing in third person limited, at least for this kind of part. Or maybe try rewriting this in first person.

Much to her horror, she felt her back legs becoming stiff and no longer being able to move a muscle despite her numerous attempts. It was then that she realized that she is being turned to stone...

You don't say... (sarcasm). Like I said, not every specific detail needs to be given; maybe you should tell me how she feels as this is happening, rather than what she, and all of us, already know.

To be fair a chararcter we never seen before, being an OC, a detailed description is kinda needed in my opinion.

The next morning, various ponies in Ponyville searched all around town for Floral Breeze, whom they haven't seen since her last gardening spree before the Nightmare Night party, but to no avail. They even search around her known path through the Everfree Forest, but they've found no trace of her and have given up their search after looking for her for 4 straight weeks.

Four. It is four straight weeks. You are not a mathematician... at least not here. You are a writer. Act like it...

Okay, all in all, I am glad to see some clear improvement in your writing, I would recommend rewriting the synopsis/description though. Still, while you are improving, you have a long way to go.

That's what I am saying, it is certainly an improvement. I'm also saying it still needs work.

I'm glad you liked it. I understand that I have a long way to go when it comes to writing, nobody's perfect. I'll keep the criticisms in mind. As for the synopsis, I tried to keep it vague while still telling what it's about

Perhaps... one thing about writing is that repeating words a lot at a high frequency gets annoying.

I am pretty sure you have been taught that before in some writing class or another, but saying "the forest" twice feels... redundant.

Because I am nice, I will give you a better description you can use. Use it, toss it, scrap it for parts, completely forget about it, I don't care but here it is. Do with it what you wish.

It was the usual walk for Floral Breeze. Go around, sniff some flowers, plant some by her favorite statue. Not much ever happened... at least, not usually. Little did she know, that Nightmare Night, the young florist had the surprise of her life lying in wait just for her...

Okay, that description is definitely better! You are starting to get the hang of this.

*rereads the story*

Okay, glad to see all that improvement you have made in the rewrite. Now, I could go on nitpicking every little detail that I still find unsatisfactory, but that will only result in an infinite loop of me telling you things to do, you doing them, and the story actually looking worse off after the cringeworthy tailoring to whatever user says needs done.

That said, I would recommend we move on from this. Onto what, that's for you to decide. In any case, have a good day.
