How much should you use dialect or constructed language? Very little. Note that I did not write not at all.

By dialect, I mean implying a southern drawl, or using specific words that imply a regional accent like “Darling!”¹ or “Don’t ya know?“ or “A?” or “Brilliant”. By a constructed language, I mean everything from completely made up words to totally made up grammars. This includes writing in English but using a foreign grammar like Spanish or Japanese.

I am feeling 99.9% better and got my writing rhythm back in force this week. While it isn't for The Prince's New Sweater, it is for Mad Seeress of the North and that story is seriously overdue for an update, so why the hell not?

I just posted a very personal story for the Pride and Positivity event:

EThe Third Pony

• MLP: FiM
• Drama
• Slice of Life

Trixie nervously refers to herself in the third pony when Maud is around, and Starlight wants to know why. Is it because they're both transgender?

• Maud Pie
• Starlight Glimmer

A sequel, set many years in the future, is on the way. More blog soon.

Also, this tool to search FiM scripts is awesome.

Hi guys! I had a question for some of y'all. I've been teasing that true crime-y/NSFW gore story project for a while. It's currently 7/11 chapters into it's first act. I have the eighth on the backburner while I work on Enemy of Mine first, of course. I don't normally do research on stories or for their content beyond "How can I make a pun out of this?" and "How does this thing work?" because I generally do not need to. Fantasy story research doesn't generally fall in the realm of

Oof.

So I just got done updating TPOH, I finished moving to a new dorm, I’m currently at work, and I still have to pack after I get off. Needless to say, I’m pretty wiped right now. I would fall asleep at the front desk right now if I thought I could get away with it, but I’m probably gonna have to soldier through.

BUT NEVER MIND ALL THAT! I'M GOING TO BRONYCON!

Yes guys, I'm still alive and doing what comes to mind. Writing, apparently, wasn't on it (or at least it's been on and off) for the past couple weeks. You may have seen my newest story, "The One Who Is Always There," that's become a WAY outdated Mother's Day special short story. It started out as a way to take a break from my few other main stories I've been updating, perhaps gain some new ideas to how I progress them, and get what I thought was an interesting story out in the open. Now, I've

Chapter one of the re-write is ready to go. Crystalline is born anew, the writing is no longer that bad. Old readers and new readers may rejoice while the editor cowers from all the words to be edited. The quality is now that of Tomb Of Magic and there's all sorts of new things if you're new to the story or wanting to re-read it. I really hope you guys like it and read all the crazy sequels if you do. Be sure to comment and upvote all those things.

I don't have much time to write now. I mean I have over Labor Day but writing while in school can be very shoddy work imo.

Also I am going through my history capstone which I hope goes well. Fingers crossed on that so that makes me even more leery about writing fun stuff/ I would be mentally drained if I tried. Which is also a bad idea cause I got to keep grades up and all cause its a very good idea to do so.

Lightning Dust nudged the shopkeeper on the withers. "Pally, I'm looking for this guy called Blueblood, you seen him? Blonde, kinda wimpy, talks prissy? He looks like you asked an eight-year old to draw a hairdresser."

Blueblood caught the mother's eye. "Terribly sorry to bother you, I wondered if you'd seen a friend of mine. She's a teal pegasus by the name of Lightning Dust. Short and very angry, her face looks a little bit like a political cartoon."

IN WHICH I WRITE NEW STUFF
So, in an attempt to deflect attention away from the pathetic state of my own existence, I've decided to instead channel that into ruminating on the pathetic state of Sunset Shimmer's existence.

So this is a thing, now.

Check out the original fic here. It's pretty great. It's seriously making me want to go and read the Stoppard play, and then write several thousand words about it.

I'm only half-joking.

Anyway, yeah, I read a thing. Should I do more of these?

So if anyone were to look over my stories you might quickly notice that while I'm great with short stories and oneshots, I am horrid when it comes to long stories, (past two chapters it feels like). I have problem finding the ability to stay committed to writing and often jst put them off entirely. I have a GDoc page full of such stories.
