The story I've been trying to do right now I have stumbled and stop so many times so now I have writer's block which is fantastic I hate myself I thought when I went on an adventure that I'll get some more inspiration I guess not hopefully I can release this soon I want to try my best though

I need a co-writer to continue Wordless Love! No experience needed! You only need to know what the mc sees as you would be in control of the main character! Please dm me! We can also start a new fic if you’d like!!!

That's a working title, but the gist is this:

I've started a little project whereby I'll be reading and reviewing stories, in the spirit of sprinkling a little more attention and perspective on where you might need it.

The outline is a basic part of writing, it is so simple yet so vital for a writer to do in order to be successful, whether it be a fanfiction or a real story you plan to publish as a career, the outline is needed. Yet how many of us actually make an outline? I know I didn't until just recently, and writing has become so much easier now. It keeps me organized and I know what is going to happen before I start writing so I can get it all written down and start the editing process, I will get into

Replace drawing with writing obviously.

"Do you have an idea for your story yet?

"No, I'm waiting for inspiration. You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood."

"What mood is that?"

"Last minute panic."

So, I learned something new this weekend. It turns out, if you overdo your carpal tunnel preventative exercises, you will prevent carpal tunnel ... but you can also give yourself tendinitis.

Whoops.

Yeah, so my right arm is nice and comfy in an ace bandage while I type this. It shouldn't get in the way of my writing too much, but let my tale be a cautionary one: you can be too preventative of carpal tunnel, apparently.

Some of you are probably wondering why my story hasn't been updated, you know it takes me a while to update, but it's never THIS long.

Thats probably what you thought? Am I right? Or am I wrong?

Well guys, to be compelty honest, I'm not immune to writers block, I'm suffering from it right now. And in order to tank through it, I'd figured I'd take a break and focus my writing time in something else.

If you have read any of the RCL site-wide blog posts, you should know that they include an interview with the author of the featured story at the bottom. I find these far more interesting that the stories or the reviews, usually.

Hey, all! Y'all know me; I'm an inchoate half-asser. So, uh... here's my half-assed attempt at my official Writer's Workshop Compendium!

Well if any of you looked at my 'story' you can tell I'm not a writer. I've got plenty of ideas just sitting here on my iPad (some for over two years now!) but I basically have permanent writers block. Not that I've been able to write in the past then got writers block, and have subsequently given up, but I've never been able to adequately express myself through writing (or any art for that matter).

Four Ponies & A Time Machine is in a writer's block.
The future story Carnegie Porter vs. The World is in a writer's block.
The only stories I can actually write for are I, Scrappy and Dogs. Hopefully, my block will go down and I can figure out what to do next for the TROTIS crew. If you have any ideas, PLEASE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SHARE THEM. I BEG OF YOU.

Today will be the first of three blogs. I think I'm going to try a 'State of the Author' and 'State of the Reader' blog each month from now on until my whimsy flags off. State of the Author should be fairly obvious. State of the Reader will be more about the FIMfics I've read, and attempting to compile a word count read. The third one this month will be a one-off combined on my BronyCon experience, all the cons I've been to, and somewhere between a brief and an exhaustive personal retrospective

A friend of mine, An Intricate Disguise has his own Discord server now, and if you like ponies, porn, sometimes weird ass shitposting and memes, look no further. Whether a fan of his amazing work or not, (if you're not, then, what are you doing here? Go read some and love it! LOVE IT!) I highly reccomend checking it out!

So recently, I've rambled a lot about plot, character, theme, and framing. But I'm sure you may be wondering, "How can this actually help me? Do any real stories benefit from this sort of rigor?" And to that I say, let's look at a story and see how it works. For this demonstration, I've picked none other than the first Equestria Girls movie. Now, while it has some great ideas here and there, I think you'll agree that it's a bit flawed. Let's get down to the nitty-gritty and see why that

Monthly reminder that you can vote on what you'd like to see me write. I'll actually start using this once I'm done with current projects, as a guide for things to release.

I need help with this big block that's been preventing me from progressing with my "Not Wonderbolts Material After All" story. Is there anyone who can lend a hand?

Nothing directly about stories for this; just drama. If not interested, then you dont have to look ^.^

Does anyone live in Arizona, and are you wanting platonic cuddles? I desperately need affection and... I havent really been able to think straight, function or write because of it.

These days, most people get their entertainment from audiovisual media: movies, TV shows, video games, anime, the occasional play. My master's thesis was about the methods by which writers change their writing style depending on the media they are working for. The truth is, audiovisual media and alphabetic media (like stories) use very different techniques to convey meaning. Using the movie ones for a novel, or vice versa, will just make it seem weird, like you don't really understand how

So, I'm thinking of doing either another Shining Armour fic, or a sequel to "Eating Out" involving Rumble packing on the pounds with Blossomforth's help. Unfortunately, the creative well is running a little dry at the moment, so it might be a while before I get either of those out. Just thought I should keep you guys in the loop.
