Welcome back readers, to the final entry in Being a Better Writer‘s Summer of Cliche Writing Advice!
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.
Hey guys! Got a question for you:
At this point, I'm prepped and ready to write Book 2 of Synthesis/The Distant Princess. However, I've got a decision to make.
Should I keep it all as one big story, and release each book on one fic? Or should I split it up into books and release them as different stories? There's both pros and cons to this approach, from what I can tell.
Releasing it all as one big story:
--Allows readership to grow over time.
So, I was trying to write my OC's story again but from what I had written before, it made no sense. So now I'm back to square one and am currently just a little frustrated, cause I have no idea where to start. If any of you have any ideas or advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
Gonna try something new with blogs or something while I'm in between stories or in between completing one story and finishing the next. Off the cuff blogs, where I just write what comes to mind when it comes to mind and throw it at y'all.
Today's topic that brought up an off-the-cuff idea was writing about what, and reviving a dead or dormant story.
What, or more specifically, what question should be asked to revive a story?

Time for yet another season of horse related programming!
Why has there been a wave of depression posts out there? Are people just going through the Summer blues... Even though it's still technically Spring?
DISCLAIMER!!
Just so nobody gets their panties in a knot, I want to say depression is a serious issue and I have no idea what each and every one of you go through daily. So don't take this the wrong way like I assume some would.
Welcome back readers! Another Monday is upon us, and I’m diving right in today. by picking up a request topic from Topic List X!
So, I want to take a moment to talk about the delay on Chapter 7, section 3.
What level of ‘Dark And Troubled Past’ would be acceptable for background ponies.
I plan on giving a few of them...uneasy upbringings but they’re incidents that are well behind them and has been greatly improved by their time in Ponyville and the friends they’ve made.
But I don’t want to go too far.
If you’d like an idea, I can enclose the trailer.
This is sorta behind the story blog, and also telling you all the truth. I've been struggling with writing. Constant thoughts of feeling I'm not good enough of a writer, that I just write on Google docs and never share my progress, because I'm terrified it won't be good.
["Gonna be honest. Feelin' a bit attacked here."]
Dear Readers (including all those writers feeling a sense of impending dread):
I'm only just now starting the seventh season (the last month of school has been busy as hell), and I literally have no one else to discuss these or watch these with, so let's go! (Obviously, this will be a long one.)

So, the following blog post is, at least partially based on the writings of others. Primarily, I recommend you peruse SoloBrony’s (unfortunately incomplete) writing on art under ADPA. I must also acknowledge that GhostofHeraclitus wrote a blogpost that has a similar theme in addressing the same problem. I recommend that, after you read this, you follow
Long-time followers of mine will notice I often make reference to original fiction I’ve been working on. The project in question has hip-hopped and changed numerous times, and my short attention span and work schedule are certainly contributing factors.
Fanfic can be very different from and very similar to published fiction. One major similarity is the importance of titles and descriptions. There is a lot of equivalency between a back-of-the-book blurb and a fanfiction’s summary.
Your title and description are what hook your readers. They are (in most circumstances) what convinces your audience to devote time to your story. They require brevity and a dash of wit, while still being informative.
