So I’m thinking about doing a series of stories that I clearly wont be able to do on my own. Damn…
So I was conversing with one “FoxWithAMask” however long ago about one of his stories. And everything you’re about to read was from one reply. =P

Short D: Let’s meet a bunch of ponies and other creatures that can’t die. Yay!
The best way to grow as a writer, I'm told, is to challenge yourself. Deliberately try to do something different. Unfamiliar genres, Oblique Strategies, artificial conditions, whatever.
All right. Time to snap out of my head and into reality for a moment.
Hello readers! Welcome back to another episode of Being a Better Writer! There’s no weekend news (or rather any you didn’t already know past Episode 10 of Fireteam Freelance dropping), so we’re just going to dive right into things and get down to it!
Four ponies share similar backstories, in some sense, a what could have happened had this happened, and different reactions. Many only see them in pairs, such as Twilight and Sunset. Maybe, for some, Starlight. But, Moondancer should also be included in this. Yes, there are times when I feel like an analyst, even though I am a story writer, and perhaps I am partially so, I do enjoy studying these sorts of things.

still just as judgemental looking, now in a different gender
“Fly Hard is not your favorite Hearth’s Warming story.”
Rainbow Dash blinked. “Uh, yeah it is.”
As impurturbably as before, Twilight repeated herself. “Fly Hard is not your favorite Hearth’s Warming story.”
“Uh, yeah it is. That’s why I said ‘Fly Hard’ when you asked me what my favorite Hearth’s Warming story was.”
Ok ok I thought I had posted this earlier but I guess the website ate it up or something and it wasn't actually posted. I tried writing it in my own words, but I guess now that's gone I'm just going to copy and paste it straight from the blog post I learned from.
It turns out there is no better way for me to change my opinion on a character than to convince myself I had to write them, because wow I did not like Wallflower when I first saw Forgotten Friendship and a few thousand words later I can say that I have no idea what I was thinking.
Seriously, just look at her:
For today’s worldbuilding exercise, let’s look at something that is at once universal and distinctive. Everyone eats food. At the same time, eating unfamiliar food can be a very alien experience. Food is a big part of cultural and geographic identity. Real life cuisine has countless gradations and variations. The ingredients and resources available give each real life culture a distinct history and evolution.
So before we get to the reviews, a little announcement. I fear I am slowly approaching a financial crisis, and if things don't turn around at work within the next two or three weeks then I may have to take extreme measures. To try and pad this situation, I've finally caved into my friends' suggestions and started work on a Patreon. It's not ready yet, but I wanted to go ahead and let people know that it's coming and I will appreciate whatever help can be offered. I'm trying to think on rewards
I'm surprised that I slept well, considering that I stayed up later than usual to tell a friend happy birthday. By that I mean I texted "Birth." at midnight. Last night I shaved, plucked, and moisturized my entire existence. I reached the ultimate form of cleanliness. I just hope that someone sees how fabulous I look today. My mom just told me that a good grocery store opened 5 minutes from my house, so I might go there to get some yogurt for a cucumber
I think I need to share a few more infos about "Letters to Cozy Glow". In the two weeks that passed since the last chapter, I noticed that the views on the story essentially froze. And the overall views grow much slower than I expected it for this story, so I'm thinking a lot of my readers might go into it with wrong expectations.
Seeing this, I figured it would be a good idea to clarify a bit what kind of story it is.
You all know how each and every person is different, right? Some may need a huge crowd around them, and some are trying to avoid attention at all cost. Usually, I belong to the latter category. I like to have my own space and be alone, but that doesn't mean that I don't want to communicate with other people. Not at all. I like a good conversation.
