SUPER UPDATE: Hint #1! · 4:41am Feb 22nd, 2018

(And probably my only hint, since I don't want to spoil it too much.)

I'd recommend looking in the Latest Update box at about 6 on Friday for more info. (Or 7/6c, at least. I am the Kansas City Coco Chronicler, after all. :raritywink:)

Until then, have a great week, and I'll see all of you this Friday night~

Being a Better Writer: Tension and Slow Pacing · 9:35pm Jun 21st, 2021

Hello readers! Welcome back!

So updates! I did manage to hit my quota last Friday despite being a little sick. And while I wouldn’t put it past that segment to need a little editing, overall it was a pretty kick-butt segment of [REDACTED] battling [REDACTED].

Against Literalism · 7:01pm Jan 16th, 2022

“I think I see it,” Rainbow Dash whispered. She squeezed as low to the rocks as she could and crawled forward over the tumbled-down ruins of the jungle temple. “It’s just up ahead, in the nave.”

Once more we gather writers, for another installment of Being a Better Writer!

reflection 🪞 · 3:11am Dec 12th, 2023

2023 is almost over.

Quite a few things have happened.

I got a new job and my mental health has improved since then.

I've been creating again after over a year of nothing. I'm hoping to sell at a con just to say I tried.

I also got engaged.

I've felt like a failure, merely existing. I hated it. Feeling the way I did absolutely sucked. Now I'm slowly finding myself again. I'm doing a little better now.

I'm thankful I'm still alive.

Alice's perspective


"No, Shy, I'm fine," I assured her, wrapping my arms gently around her neck and hugging her to my breasts. The resounding squeak and heat filling her cheeks brought a smile to my lips. Adorable Shy was still adorable.

"I-I missed you..." she mumbled against me, nuzzling between my tits. Yea, I know what you missed ya adorable yellow thing you.

Writing Concept: the virtues of being wrong Also: JW Update · 8:28pm May 11th, 2016

Alright, so I am tagging Joker's Wild in this because I feel like this is a concept that could be useful for a lot of FOE stories. A short update before we begin, I have finished the major overhauls to the last section of chapter 3, and hopefully with edits we will be dropping that off to you by Joker's Wild's birthday. So far the word count is 11k, but it is a really good section and I am proud of how it is looking. My focus lately has been editing, since I've got such a back log on content.

Being a Better Writer: Fleshing Out Ideas - From Idea to Story · 12:35am Apr 4th, 2017

Welcome back, readers, to another Monday post of Being a Better Writer! Sorry for the delay. As many of you likely guessed, I was given a morning shift at work to deal with. Half-shift, but even then there's the prep time around it, afterwards, travel time, etc ... Hence why I'd rather sell more books. But that's a case for another post. Being late, better I dive right into today's topic!
