While I was determining what stories I wanted to work on this month, I got the interesting idea of setting a few goals for myself. Again.
The description and title are some of the most important parts of a story. They provide readers with their first impression, convince them to read it, and characterize your story even after it is finished.
Salutations, writers, and welcome back! It’s Monday, it’s Being a Better Writer, and it’s our first topic from Topic List #23! Wow!
The description and title are some of the most important parts of a story. They provide readers with their first impression, convince them to read it, and characterize your story even after it is finished.
Today, we look at a set of stories, based solely on their descriptions, titles, and other relevant paratext.

Near the start of this year, 2015, I made only one resolution for myself. There's a chance you may have seen what my resolution was if you ever scrolled down my userpage past the comments section and some other stuff:
Tentative description: Starlight Glimmer has never been comfortable with friendship, but the friendship lessons keep coming; something's bound to stick. When Celestia and Moon Dancer's great aunt both aim her at the enigmatic Prince of Equestria, to teach him a lesson, unexpected feelings rear their ugly head. That her choices about him might save or doom Canterlot is simply an added unwelcome bonus.
Hit up the comments and tell me what you think of the cover and anything else.

Hey there! I've been in charge of the Submissions thread for the Goodfic Bin for a while now. I forget how long. It's been at least a few months. Anyhoo, because I've seen all manner of submissions (some good, some bad, some interesting, some not) it has come to my attention that I'm not actually half bad at getting a bit of a feel for whether I'm going to like a story solely based on how it is submitted and what it kind of looks like.
Welcome back writers to another Monday installment of Being a Better Writer, your source for writing advice, guides, and tips.
Welcome back readers? I trust you all had a pretty enjoyable weekend? Especially with the newest episode of Fireteam Freelance having released on Saturday?
Hello readers! Once again, we’re back with more Being a Better Writer! But first, how was your weekend?
Read it here: Ms. Glimmer and the Do-Nothing Prince

You find yourself in Equestria! After making friends with all the ponies, you realize how spooked you are to be away from earth...and how nice it'd be to get a hug!
So, I guess this blog entry is signifying a bit of an emergency..... As it turns out, Chapter 2 of "The Strange Case of Dinky Hooves' Cutie Mark Curiosity" isn't perceived well and only gets incredibly low views. Despite that the first chapter fared relatively well (even with the terrible quality the first version of it had), Chapter 2 has only gotten 41 views so far and it is published for 72 hours now.
Well, there are eleven days left for the deadline of the contest (remember: February 2nd), and so far we have one submission and sixty-seven goddamn applications.
Jesus fuck, my judges are going to die. I ain't, however. You can't kill what's already dead, and -- well, y'all read the berry blog already. Some things, a man can't come back from. I think biologically you can't classify me as human anymore. Gagh.
