In Which I Read Twilight for Self-Improvement · 3:50pm Dec 8th, 2017

It's said that one of the best ways to improve your writing is to read. It helps expose you to new ideas and styles and can inspire you. It's also said that it's easier to define why something is bad than why something is good. Declaring something to be bad usually has very concrete reasoning behind it, while declaring something to be good can be a lot more nebulous.

Hey there. Figured you'd like to know I've been absolutely loving your writing. I've been on a pony fanfiction binge recently and yours keep coming up because so many of the premises are fascinating and the stories themselves are great. I'd love to comment on each individual story, but by now I'd have enough comments to fill an entire chapter. It's been fun noticing you've built your own overarching headcanon, or finding references to other stories. Dare I say you've been part of the reason I've decided to start writing a little pony again myself. Keep it up!
