Hey, so I've got this story idea but I'm unsure if I should write it. Lemme know what y'all think.

I am distraught. I am figmented. I have had my mind twisted and bent beyond explanation. I feel like I have been dumped right in the middle of a train station amongst complete and total strangers, and dumped out into the world to fend for myself. Or an elaborate shopping mall sized town buried deep within what was once a bustling major city. No one likes me very much, and around a quarter of them have an immediate leeriness about me. They will avoid me if they can help it, and they will

Surprise! This isn’t an ordinary Being a Better Writer bit. Many of you likely guessed that based on the day (Friday versus the traditional Monday), and you’re right.

That’s because this isn’t your usual BaBW post, it’s a Topic Call!

So in the last piece I published on this blog, Princess Twilight Sparkle's preface to Discord's magnum opus here, I established that according to Twilight, this work is filled with words, most of which are in sentences that are syntactically accurate. Here's some of the actual work that she's talking about, though I still feel as if I need to write more of it before I could publish it as a story.

Alright. Okay, alright. Today has been a productive day. Once again, I have informed a party of passengers who were oblivious to their own plight, only knowing they might have one. I may have ranted again, no intent to ramble. But what can I do? They never told us anything in advance, and they cruelly kept it a secret even when the opportunity was ripe. Water under the bridge, I suppose. What's worse is how woefully unprepared they were to do anything, it's a miracle it even had *some*

Is there any particular reason I am being escorted up a fire escape on a building that hasn't seen a good word in two decades? And is there a point to whatever they want to show me? I emerged in the middle of the desert five days ago, an Amtrak passenger with dozens and dozens of others, and never thought the populace would vanish. Only recently did I get an explanation on how or why we had all been distorted in an awkward manner, and made to endure a painful lecture that can't be true.

I have been boozed out of my brains for the past six hours. For good reason. I don't find losing all contact with any and all acquaintances a particularly pleasurable experience!. Never you mind having your body and all the equipment it came with taken away for good. God damn it. Damn them all to hell. I think I hate Equestrians. I'd burn them all into oblivion if the chance made itself presentable. They meddled in thing that ought not to be meddled in. They rubbed salt into an

Hey, guys. How you doing?

I’m going to try something a little different in this blog, which is attempt instruction on a thing. That thing in question in this thing is writing a thing.

Thing.

Thing.

Anywho, let’s get this show on the road.

Another day in the world of transit. Wouldn't I like to have a little something to break up the monotony? Unfortunately, I got my wish, even though that did not cause it, and remorse would not do anything for me, as it got no one else anywhere either.

Hello everypony! I've considered doing something like this for a while, and I thought it'd be appropriate for various reasons.

This here, as the title says, is a guide to my original characters in the different parts of Wherever the Light Shines' overarching story. While they are different parts that make it seem like they're sequels, they're actually all one big story rather than separate from each other.

In my defense, I didn’t say when this post would be up today. But readers! Do you have your list ready!? Topics you want to hear about? The get commenting below!

For those of you who need a bit more context, I’ll assume that you are familiar with this site’s weekly feature, Being a Better Writer, all about—What else?—how to improve one’s writing. Pretty much the most popular bit of this site, and referenced in a lot of places.

Disclaimer here:

This is not a guide on how to write better. Improving how you write is a matter of time and practice. This guide is a culmination of general observation and trial-and-error as to what people look for in a story and what will net you a higher view count. I'm not a spectacular writer, but I do know how to recognize what people want to see.

* And yes, I realize the inherent irony in posting this as a blog rather than as a forum thread.

Hey! Welcome to the tenth edition of Grammer a Week, the periodic blog program-thing where I would normally address a frequently broken grammar rule and tell you how to fix it. This week will be a little bit different; in celebration of ten weeks of pedantic grammar soapboxing, I'll talk about where I get most of these grammar rules from. Style guides!
