Hello, everyone! I'm LeeLovesMLP, or Lee, if you want to be just a tad simpler. If you're reading this, you either had some sort of connection with "Your Middle Name is What," or you're following me. Either way, thank you so much, and please know that I appreciate your support more than you'll ever know!

The process of writing is as subjective as the product. Sometimes, however, hearing about the creative process of others can be interesting. It might help one consider things that you had not. It might give one insight into one’s own creative process. It might reaffirm why one does things the way they do.

For today’s blog post, I’d like to discuss the different degrees of planning/outlining I use.

Hello everypony and you dirty cloppers! This is Discord Speaking in for the poor sickly Silent Author. The poor drunken bastard has taken a sick day but was so very happy to have yours truly cameo in his filthy and poorly edited story. ;3

I'm running out of Hell puns, guys. How am I going to manage through the next 27 chapters of To Serve In Hell?

My most recent story, Dawn, talks a great deal about the implications of politeness held by the words you and thou. While the story teaches about the distinction between the words, and talks about how thou is insulting, if one was a linguistic nerd, one might wonder: why did the pronoun thou exist in the first place? Indeed, why is it that people see thou as being a formal word, if it was, in fact, so

So, in the midst of writing on and off, I've taken up drawing again... It's been a curve, but I've pushed myself to draw at least one thing a day.

So, recently I've been redoing some of my old maps for "The Song of the Spheres," and between them and my worldbuilding notes I've run into a bit of a problem: a lot of them don't make sense.

- Big honkin' gaps in borders with traditional enemies? I'm sure nothing bad ever happened with that!
- My poor, smooth, Euro-centric brain decided to go with semi-feudalism for Homestria's history instead of what it should be (psuedo-Confucism with "Harmony" instead of "The Mandate of Heaven").

Through a combination of getting really sick of seeing people butcher Luna's archaic speech in their fics and happening to be studying the subject at the time, a few months ago I decided to make a simple guide to writing Luna dialogue correctly. I put it off way too long, and I'm not even sure it's relevant anymore, since Luna's rehabilitation has kinda passed as a fad in the fimfiction community, but here it is anyway:

So I'm studying up on Early Modern English (not Old English, mind you) in preparation for a short essay on how to write Luna-speak. Fun fact I found: "derring-do" (the inspiration for Daring Do, if you didn't get that), which is a noun usually meaning "adventurous nonsense" in today's usage (as far as I can tell), started out as a verb phrase way back in the sixteenth century, "dorryng do," which literally means "daring to do," and implied manhood and chivalry ("Robin Hood's awesome. He's

'Cause I'm recovering from a minor surgery and my leg has stitches in it so I decided to finish something else. Namely, editing an interlude for a story long overdue for something of a wakeup. It's my bed-ridden recovery, I get to pick between editing and actually writing some stuff.

I've revised up to the Part 3 of the "Husband of Hers" chapters so cut me a break, thankies.

I've been trying really hard to wrap up Humility over the last couple of months. I'm constantly going back to the story and trying to find the inspiration that began the whole thing, and even though I can sense it, I can't quite grasp it. What's worse? The ending is already written. I have probably three or four scenes left out of the entire story before I consider it finished, and I can't figure it out!

Academic goals are the specific and measurable objectives that you want to achieve in your education. They can help you to improve your academic performance, motivation, and self-confidence. They can also help you to plan your study, manage your time, and prepare for your future career. Not all academic goals are created equal. You need to make sure that your academic goals are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant,

To be really honest with you, I had a hard time not putting this one on the top shelf. But a while ago I decided to be more strict on what goes where, and even though it comes close, Not The Hero isn't quite on par with, say, Background Pony or The Immortal Game. Sorry, alarajrogers. It's probably mostly because it's not finished yet, to be honest. Once it's

Yep, you heard me right. Randome, one of the world's laziest people, is going to get to work on some things. Why did you think I only had two stories, and never mentioned plans for other ones? I knew I'd start them, and never finish them. But for once, I'm going to be productive and do some things. See y'all around, after I get to work on some stories and art.

Citation: today. Don't believe everything you read on the other 364.24 days of the year either, but this is the day that lots of places decide to remind you of that. It is, of course, misinterpreted. I think AM stated my opinion on both sides of this problem:
