As per the title, I now have a Ko-fi page. Find the link here, or in my bio.
The site is so named, because the default donation is a cup of coffee. But I like to characterize it more as a deeply discounted paperback.
(TLDR: There is a concise list of tools and points at the end of this post. However I encourage people to read the entire thing so they have a better understanding of the content and purpose of these tools. Still, if this is too long for you you can skip to the list of 12 things at the end.)
A bold title, yes, but not an untrue one.
You see, I’ve been working on a number of writing projects and one of them is an actual book to be published. Because of this I’ve been doing a number of things that are new to me and I came to a realization; I can research how to write all I want, and I can practice trying to be the best I can, but you learn stuff differently when, on purpose, you do something wrong.
As part of the School for New Writers I was part of a recording discussing questions asked of the teachers. It's been a while sense I did a video but I figured I'd give it a try. I still hate editing, but with some help it only took me a few hours so it might become somewhat regular.
You can follow the School for New Writers Here.
My first video is up on my channel and this time it's actually my video.
It helps a lot when you watch it and like it on Youtube so even when I put it here please don't forget to like it on Youtube.
The video is better than reading it in my opinion.
So, you want to make your story have a bit more oomph. You don't want to simply make it about characters resolving a conflict in a setting of your choice. Instead, you want to make it leave an impression on the viewers, teach the reader a mind-blowing lesson that will stick with them for their entire life.

So, hi! Thanks for clicking on my blog! I hope this becomes a fun thing to read and getting writing tips, some general writing tips but considering this is a fanfiction website there's going to be more fanfic tips, mostly pony-based of course, like writing in character, ocs, shippings, yeah you get the point. I'm going to try to make this a weekly thing.
Welcome back readers! It’s going to be a great week here on the site. More stuff coming, as usual. Follow-ups to prior posts, feedback … Basically, there’s a lot going on at the moment, so expect to see quite a bit of that on display here as the days come along!
As always, the full post in full is at my site.
Hey writers! Got a short post for you today. Yesterday, after I wrapped up Being a Better Writer and started on some chores I had to take care of, I finally put on a video that had been sitting in my watch-later queue for quite some time and was immediately struck by the lessons in the video that apply to writing.
With a title like that, I’m sure some of you thought that this was going to be about relationships. Maybe even romance, or even something steamier.
Yeah, no. Sorry. And for that last one, don’t get your hopes up. That’s not what I write (and yet people keep requesting it …).
You guys asked for it and you guys got it! Blog posts about cooking and recipes... however, this was probably not what you were expecting for my first blog. Simmer down though (hah, cooking pun) because I did this for a very good reason. As far as recipes go, most people want to know how to do something extreme, hardcore, fancy, unusual, or fast. I'll get to that, believe me, but we're going to start with a simple thing that I use every single week of my life: basic dough.
I planed to finish chapter two for my story One in a Thousand YESTERDAY, but all I did was add a few paragraphs and then give up. I am realizing how difficult it is to write a story. I have never written anything more than an essay for school. This is proving more difficult then I expected. Need to stop summarizing things. Also, I don't even know why I am making blogs about this. My last on has zero views. I guess I just want the world to see what I'm going through. Idk, maybe i'm
So, I decided to enter something for the writeoff this time. Let me tell you, it is the worst thing I've ever written. But, I have a reason. I was writing a review and reading Pegasus Device at the exact same time, which means I was constantly losing my train of thought while writing said write-off entry.
I have come to a realization that will forever reverse my writing style. I will change to the format ‘she said’ for speech actions/noun relations rather than ‘said she’.
Just now I was working on a new story that had piqued my interest. I had decided to change my actions for speech to have it come after the name in an attempt to try something new and then I saw that I had already started a paragraph as follows.
Rarity snickered.
This has actually happened! More than once! 
Me being asked for advice on writing. Who would've thought? 
So a new chapter, and as of the moment of writing this: twenty one upvotes, three downvotes. It's better than when I got up this morning, but still, tut tut. Seven to one? Can’t have that. Gotta step up my game for the next chapter 
At the risk of of perhaps revealing too much, I've decided to pull back the curtain and show how my work progresses into what it is. It starts simple, I approach it almost as a screenplay, and then, after a few rewrites, it gets constructed into something greater. This is the secret to how I write.
Look its a pony! 
*bats at ball* Oooooh it's on a string....
