Being a Better Writer: Getting in the Zone · 8:11pm Jun 5th, 2017

Welcome back, all, to another Monday! I've got to type fast with this post, as I've got another shift at my part-time today. This time, it's in the afternoon rather than the morning, however, so as long as I keep my fingers moving, you're getting a Monday post! Really quick, however, before I get started: some quick news updates!

Greetings everyone!
I’m sure many of you have noticed the “How to make a good story?” threads popping up from time to time in many groups and blogs of FIMFiction. While it is impossible to fully answer that question in a meaningful way, certain aspects of a good story can be elaborated on.

Grammar for Real People, Part 1: Magic and Science · 10:35pm Feb 24th, 2016

Halfway through the winter semester, and I'm already seeing leaps and bounds in my understanding of the English language, thanks to university-level editing courses. Seeing the problems everyone has (and I had, for a long time) with grammar and punctuation and the like, I figured I would make a series of blog posts to finally make these concepts clear for the average Pony Joe Blow fanfic writer/editor/reader.

So let's try it, shall we?

Being a Better Reader: Leaving a Good Review · 10:47pm Nov 21st, 2016

I'm going to file this one under Being a Better Writer, but as most of you can tell from the title, I consider it more in line with the act of being a good reader than a writer. Though I suppose as a reviewer, you're going to leave a written review ... but by the terminology of what I usually refer to when I say "writing" it is a little different.

Being a Better Writer: Giving Characters a Leitmotif · 10:10pm Jul 26th, 2016

Okay, first of all, I need to apologize for this post coming so late in the day. I know that yesterday I said I would have it up this morning, but as some of you likely noticed ... that didn't happen. What did happen was that last night, as I sat down to put together what would have been this morning's post, it ... Well, it wouldn't go together. I was nursing a headache, tired, and after a frustrating time spent slapping together a less-than-subpar BaBW post, I canned the
