Being a Better Writer: Author Morals and Story Theme · 8:52pm Jun 20th, 2016

So, right now, I think I may be able to guess what many of you are thinking, which is, upon looking at the title: Hey, didn’t we just read this like a week or two ago? To which I say, yes, almost.

For those of you who weren’t yet thinking, but now have looked up and noticed the similarities in the title, yes, it’s almost the same topic. In fact, there’s only a single word of difference.

So where do we go from here? (A favor to ask.) · 2:15am Sep 4th, 2015

Just Like Old Times managed to land on a Ponyfic Roundup post by Louder Yay yesterday. I'm kinda glad that it gave the story some exposure, and they even gave it a two-star rating out of, what I believe, five. Before this, the story was sitting at a 24/1 ratio with about 350 reads, and now it stands at around 660-ish views with a 60/1 ratio. These are good things, honestly. It means people

Being a Better Writer: Tragedy and Hubris · 9:56pm Aug 14th, 2017

"All the honors go to the tragedian for chewing up the scenery, while the comedian, who has to be much more subtle to be funny, is just loudly criticized when he doesn’t come through."
Attributed to Edmund Gwenn

Being a Better Writer: Imitation ... or Copying? · 5:18pm Sep 4th, 2017

This'll be a short one today, guys. I'm actually still sick, but I really feel bad about missing last week's post (in truth, my whole week went by in a blur of "ack, bleck, cough cough cough, can't think, play Sonic Mania/X-Com 2). So you're getting a post today. Not the one I'd planned (my brain's not quite functional enough for the more in-depth companion piece

Being a Better Writer: Writing for Yourself · 9:45pm Oct 2nd, 2017

Short one today, readers. Mostly because I’m writing this between conference sessions on a Saturday, as I’ve got work shifts Monday and Tuesday, among other things, and so it’s literally a case of “Blitz this while I can!”

Welcome and Merry Christmas, readers, to this quite delayed Being a Better Writer post! First of all, it must be said, I'm sorry for the delays. I try to avoid letting these happen, but with the Christmas rush being what it has been ... I'm fighting to get a lot of things done.

Rewrites and chapters · 8:59pm Oct 8th, 2015

Righty, almost done with my rewrite of My Little Panzers prologue. I wasn't really happy with it, it felt rushed and not particularly well finished. I was eager to get it started and the result wasn't that great. So, I finally sat down a rewrote it. Well, the second half mostly, but it reads a whole lot better I think, not trying to cram so much information in there this time around, leaves me with more to work with later on.

Conflicting Ideas · 11:38pm Nov 14th, 2016

Do any other authors ever get writers block from two or more conflicting ideas, to the point where you end up writing very little? I have at least two stories that I know how to complete, yet I have STILL started a new one because the idea really grabbed me!

Being a Better Writer: Haters · 6:55pm Sep 10th, 2018

The moment you create something worthwhile, someone out there in the world will start to hate you. I wish this wasn’t the truth. I wish I could say that people were always going to be rational and capable of thought, but that’s not how it is.

After two whole chapters of talking... · 5:04am Dec 23rd, 2015

... comes another fight.

I know, no one asked for any of that boring, talky plot and character development, just bring on another firefight!

But seriously. I'm beating my head against my desk trying to get these chapters out. It's so incredibly frustrating having all the outlines done but none of the meat ready to string up on the bones. It's even more frustrating already having run these scenes in my head enough to get sick of them and still not having transcriptions of them down.

I'll Watch Season Six Eventually. · 2:00am Mar 27th, 2016

I don't usually do a custom title for these anymore, but I figured this one was worth emphasizing. I've mentioned before about the very old laptop I use for basically everything. Well, it's so old that I can't upgrade my browser or download a new one. This means I lost the ability to watch Dailymotion last Fall (doubly annoying because I had been watching the episodes of Classic Who that weren't on Netflix). If the powers that be continue the Youtube crackdown, then I won't be able to

Writers Block for Grimlock, Dinobot and... Father? · 9:08pm Sep 6th, 2016

Okay, just want to announce that this particular story will be going on a short hiatus due to the fact that I've run into a case of Writer's Block. Hopefully, I'll have some new ideas shortly, but I'm not making any promises.:twilightsheepish:

Updates! · 1:35pm Jun 16th, 2018

Hello to my 3 followers! :pinkiehappy:

So, a few things you guys need to know.

1. School just started for me. Yeah, where I'm from, our School Year is off. The previous administration tried to switch to match the US, but ever since then our latest president has basically allowed schools to no longer comply with that rule. Yeah, I live in the Philippines. Anyway, that means I'll be offline more as the school year marches relentlessly onward.
