So, what's new on this fine overcast (here near Seattle) Friday afternoon?
So, what's new on this fine overcast (here near Seattle) Friday afternoon?
I have a bunch of half-written chapters for it. I have a bunch of half-written chapters for all my fics...
You all saw this coming. I think I'm the only one that didn't want to admit it.
Sorry guys.
Hello. My name is Sudden Storm. I do hope Mr Hadley's presentation wasn't too harsh, and he didn't ramble too much. Give him a big round of applause. I'm only joking. Lighten up the mood.

Today we're tackling a topic directly. Head on. We'll be discussing a problem I often see throughout literature, especially work from new writers or in the area of fanfiction (and both are probably bolstered by the fact that most television deliberately commits this act in order to pad out run-time).

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!
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
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.

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

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.
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.

Dear FimFiction~
You are a wonderful place, full of friendship, rainbows and magic, with tens of thousands of stories which just take you away in infinite variety of directions you can imagine.
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.
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!
