    On writing: A memoir on trying to be funny [biography]

    I've tried writing comedy, and I've always failed, but I did learn something in the process. Being funny is usually a mix of being "unpredictable" while at the same time being "emotionally close" to your audience: To surprise them with something relateable.

    Biography time!

    FimFic: Approval times [silly]

    I see many posts asking about the long approval times.
    They fail to realize all the work required to approve a story.

    Most people are anxious to get their story approved. Some people, like myself, is happy for the time it takes.

    On writing: Run fishy, Run!

    As a writer, I’m well aware of my weaknesses; but I fail to fix it in my writing, and thus I’m stuck as a lousy writer with pitiful prose.

    I know the mistakes are in there, but with a direct access to the source (my vivid imagination) while I’m editing; I see my story as I imagined it, instead of how I’ve written it.

    Stories: What goes up, must come down...

    I recently published a funny/silly short story with a friendship moral.

    The moral was shown (not told) that you can be friends and friendly to other ponies, even if it’s someone different and inferior to yourself. The story used Celestia and Twilight (and with slight contrast from Luna) as good examples of being nice, while having an OC as inferior.

    Writing 101: And the worst advice I've seen

    Writing is about putting words together, so that the reader can understand you.

    It's about the choice of words. It's about the order and syntax. It's about language and linguistic, accent and dialect.
    That is the foundation of writing, and any writer who aspires to become an excellent writer must understand that.

My first blog post. · 11:34pm Aug 2nd, 2021

There once was a blog, but the blog was empty and without form (well, it had Cascading Style Sheets).
The owner of the blog wanted needed to experiment, so text was added.
Text was added... more more more and more until finally there was no more.

From that moment in time, Moondancer appeared.

"Moondancer!" her mother called out to her daughter upstairs. "There’s someone here to see you?"

"Who?" Moondancer replied without lifting her gaze from the book.

"Some Alicorn," her mother replied from the doorway.

"What Alicorn?"

"I don’t know. There’s so many now I can’t keep track of them anymore. It’s not the big old white one."

"The blue one is also old." Moondancer helpfully informed her mother.

"Well, she’s not blue," her mother said after a quick glance at the visitor.

"Is it the pink one originally from Cloudsdale?"

"No, this one is purple and doesn’t live here."

"Tell her I’m busy."

Moondancer’s mom turned back to the visitor with an apologetic smile on her face.

"I’m sorry dear, but Moondancer is busy," she said to Twilight.

"But I’m here on a friendship mission. I want to be friends with Moondancer!"

"Moondancer!" her mother yelled from the door, "She says she has no friends."

"Ah, it’s Twilight!" Moondancer called out from upstairs. "Why didn’t you say so mom? Down in a second."

"So what happens next?" nobody ever asked and never will.
"Well," the voices in his head replied, "We will add a comment to keep you company. That way the voices are not only heard, but also read."
"The voices in my head are all writers!" the blog owner exclaimed with a happy smile on his face.

Never before had his unseen company consisted of fab intellectuals. This was much better than the easily seen company in white coats who used soothing voices while dressing him up in a Love-Thyself jersey.

EDIT 2021-09-20: Bah! Why did you delete your comment? Now my comment looks silly. =(
