"Equestria, My Home" Extended Lyrics

Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and today, I am sharing my extended lyrics for "Equestria My Home." Let's get started!
Equestria, the land I love
a land of harmony
Our flag does wave from high above
for ponykind to see
Equestria, a land of friends
where ponykind do roam
They say true friendship never ends
Equestria, my home!

Pulp Crossover: Fluttershy Joins the Dark Side

Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and today, I am exploring a crossover my sister suggested. I had a false start writing it as a first draft, but it didn’t feel like it could go anywhere. I’m iterating ideas faster than I can record them. Hopefully, I can come up with something worth someone editing into a story. Let’s get started!

Blog Reformat

Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and this month, I've stepped back from weekly posts here. Let's get started!
As I said before, maintaining both a robotics blog and a writing blog is just a little too much for me long-term. I still want to do a little writing, so here I am, now on a monthly basis.

KSC's New Manager

Good Morning from my Writing Lair. This is Shadow_8472, and today, I'm going to try writing a scene for a prospective fanfiction I want to at least toy around with without committing to a full first chapeter. Let's get started.
I've recently gotten the DLC for Kerbal Space Program. I want to try writing a scene or two and see if it turns into anything.

Random Weekly Check In · 2:29am Sep 7th, 2019

Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and today I'm really just checking in. Let's get started!

I've been working on a side project I wanted to post this week. I don't want to give too much away, but it's not canon to A Tale of Two Worlds. A lot of my time this week went into getting a lot better, hanging out on the FimFiction Discord server. (If you want to preview my new story, I'm frequenting #writing-help).

I've been learning the proper use of em dashes, and lately I've tried working on hooks. I always read stories directly from FimFiction, but I learned some people download when they see a story card, then start reading without the description. I had been trying to use my description as a mini-prologue, then start into the story, but that doesn't work for all potential audiences.

Final Question: What day of the week tends to get the best results for posting? I'm still learning the system, and I really am trying to learn things here.
