Advice from a Retired Fimfiction User · 5:31pm Sep 13th, 2017

This is probably the most important blog post I ever create, so show this to any noobs you encounter and stuff. But seriously, do give it a look.

A lot of you guys know me as MargopoloGX. I’ve taken on a new identity now, however, because I am ashamed of my old name and the things I have done while carrying that title. I just want to clarify that, that is why I changed my username. Just a little backstory on why I changed my username, for those who are wondering.

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!

Being a Better Writer: Body Language · 7:43pm Jul 11th, 2016

How do you show that a character is angry? Or nervous? How do you show that two characters are not on the best of terms with one another while they are on decent standing with another member of their group? Or that one of them is nervous? Jumpy?

Being a Better Writer: The Thought Process · 7:23pm Dec 3rd, 2015

So, today's topic actually came to me only yesterday morning whilst on my flight home. I was at 30,000 feet (or whatever cruising altitude was for that flight) and suitably armed, as is my custom, with every type of boredom-defense I can fit in my backpack that will work on an airplane. At the moment, my tool of choice was two-fold: My Zune (yes, I have a Zune, and it has endured eight years and far, far more punishment than any other MP3 player my immediate family has tried), and my kindle.

Being a Better Writer: Adding Meaning · 10:12pm Dec 5th, 2017

Hey there readers!

Yes, once again this post is falling on a Tuesday. I've taken a larger than normal load of shifts during the Christmas rush to help keep myself afloat (and maybe afford a little advertising on the side), so my schedule has been in a bit more of a time crunch than usual.

I'm back! No longer diseased! Well, not fully. And still with a recovering knee injury, but those things take time, or so I'm told by the doctors. But I am well enough to write write write at last! My mind is clear! And so after a long, unwelcome delay, we're finally getting back to a follow-up post I alluded to some time ago.

A Look into the Macabre: What makes something scary? · 3:53am Mar 8th, 2019

This isn't a guide so much as it is me gushing over this show I started watching because holy shitballs is it good.

"The Promised Neverland," AKA, "oh my god what the fuck," is easily the best thriller anime I've seen in a very long time.

Without spoiling too much, here's the synopsis for the story:
