Entry #35- Manic Magic · 2:08pm Jun 11th, 2017

Hey Everypony! A new season of MLP started back in April, and I’m finally getting around to talking about it now. :facehoof: Truth is, it’s been a little harder for me to keep up this Season. Really, these first three episodes are all I’ve seen so far. :rainbowderp:

As you may have well known that it has been more than a Year since I have joined this Site. And still a Year that I have truely and Passionately Worked and have Written on my story.

Thus far it has gone through several different Location, Story, Background, and Theme Contexts within my Head that I started to believe that I was never going to be able to work on it in the same light again.
But that changes tomorrow.

Story Titles, Cover Art, and Descriptions 101 · 8:14am Jul 5th, 2020

Imagine this: You wrote a story that you deem great. You may have even shown it to a few folks for beta-reading and might have it edited, so the fact the story ain’t bad is most likely not just your subjective perception. Then you publish the story. Nothing happens. No comments, a modicum of votes, and a few views. Maybe it’s just bad luck. Or maybe the story’s boring and fails to maintain the audience’s attention—however, if you had a bunch of good beta-readers helping with the story, this

Finally a useful tip · 7:26pm Oct 15th, 2018

So I got some advice for my writing that actually is helpful. A friend of mine said that while the action scene in the first chapter was fine, it kind of dragged on too long. This is something that I fully understand. How I'll do things now is cut up actions scenes and cut to different scenes in the meantime, then get back to the action later. This will give the reader make everything much more well paced.

Guess who's back? · 11:38pm Aug 6th, 2015

It's me!

Okay okay, nobody cares. But anyway I'm back! And I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that the 3rd chapter of "Always" is 85% done and that means that it will be out before you know it. I don't want to set a release date cause I'm bad with those sort of things, but it will be out eventually it's not cancelled or on hiatus.

I'm writing another thing. · 6:36pm Mar 20th, 2019

Hey all 2.3 people who follow me, and or have the slightest interest in what I do. I'm writing another thing, and I am going to try to make it much longer, but no promises on that. I'm going to try expand on the things I tried in my previous two stories. Hopefully, or rather assuming I'm not completely incompetent, there will be an actual character arc, and growth.
Basically I'm just saying this to ask, "Hey, did you see something in the other two stories that I should try to improve on?"

Work in progress · 11:40pm May 2nd, 2020

I’m starting work on a second person multiple chapter romance series called New Life With. Currently I’m writing the first one titled New Life With: Vinyl Scratch.

Each one of these stories I write will be a second person romance of the reader (Anonymous) and the character for that story I.e. twilight sparkle, Rainbowdash, spitfire etc.

Any advice or help from fellow second person human x pony writers is greatly appreciated (considering this is my first try 😂)

Near Future Story? · 9:26pm Aug 10th, 2017

Dear Bronies and Pegasisters,

Currently, I am going to be focusing on “The Lioness and the Unicorn” for a while until the thing is finished. But in the mean time, I have been thinking about stories that I may do once that story is done. To which, I want to get some of your opinions on the idea that I came up with today.

Ponies Aren't Hobbits, They're Dwarves · 5:14pm Feb 5th, 2018

A common writing fumble I see in pony fanfiction?

People treating ponies as Hobbits, when in actuality they would be more comparable to dwarves (fantasy dwarves). By this, I mean people tend to treat them as 'light and small' creatures. This is not the case.

Writing 101: Neologisms and Technobabble (How Much Is Too Much?) · 8:48am Oct 2nd, 2017

So I recently finished playing Tales of Berseria. Like many games in its genre, it was a dense experience, both in terms of gameplay and story. This density has many expressions, but one that I noticed in particular was its use of invented terms and technobabble. Here’s a partial list of some of the world-specific terms it uses;

* Malevolence – Evil energy. Related to the next item.
* Demonblight – A disease that turns people into demons.

tl;dr: I want to name a writing project and have no good ideas. Skip down a bit for story info.

I don't really have too many people looking my way yet, but I figured I'd drop this for whatever random people scan random blog posts or the few that might have this pop up in their feed.

Smoothing the Knots: Addendum? · 9:59pm Aug 22nd, 2019

Despite the bangout success of my last fic, I'm tempted to add a tiny change.

I don't think I stuck the landing. I wanted to add something like this at the end:

In the middle of their embrace, the tiniest twinkle appeared in the tip of Luna's tail.

Should I? :trixieshiftright:
