Masked Beauty was one of my first few stories and I have grown and changed with my writing a lot more. I originally wanted to have it be an all happy story, but after I published the first few chapters, I wanted to have a twist, so I added in a few things and it got more and more hard for me to write the way I wanted to write it. I realized that I was updating it monthly by the most, so I can't figure out a way to put it all together. I have decided to think more on it, and keep the current one

So hello everypony, My name is Midnight mane and as the title suggests, I would like to start writing a fanfic. My only problem is I don't know where to start, I got the whole story practically playing in my head. But when I try to get it out, I just get lost in words. So if you have any advice on how I could get more organized I would greatly appreciate it.

To see the self-demonstrating version, go here

First, and most important: The View From the Window. If you're looking for a fanfic that reads like a novel set in Equestria, this is it. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I haven't been this excited to see more from an author since I found a weird, sprawling fic by this guy named Church.

It's not THAT important, but like-- keep in mind, monocles work like glasses, but for one eye. So if a character loses a monocle, this should affect their depth perception! It's not necessary to mention if it's unimportant, but it might make for an interesting inconvenience. Which is why I'm mentioning it.

Monocles are my favorite thing, so I felt like I had no choice but to point it out. Also, have a nice day! Remember to eat lunch and take medication and all that.

Alright guys, I've reached that point. I'm officially stuck with fixing the balance. I have no clue how to continue the story.
I'm just going to give it to you straight; FTB has more views than my other story, project horizon, yet I feel a lot more comfortable writing for the latter. This comes down to P-horizon being set in a first person perspective, whereas FTB is third person. And given that I'm arguably better at writing first person perspective stories, I'm unsure about it now.

So one of my family members is slogging through the utter hell that is a Masters program at university and she needed advice about friendships. Won't go into details, but she mentioned, for the second time, "vren55, when did you get so wise?" after I finished giving her a particular tidbit.

I like to try finding someone/some people to talk to or that I know I can turn to for company (Maybe even by the 1 in a million chance, a girlfriend), the problem with that is the fact that I'm incredibly introverted; I kinda have a hard time listening, plus I can never really find anything to talk about other than my interests to others and barely anyone in my area share the same interests as me resulting in it being incredibly hard to hold a conversation with someone i'm trying to meet for

You’re working on a bunch of stories all at once right? Do you ever feel like you’re spread too thin? Or, do you have some kind of system? I kind of want to write myself, so I’m asking.

I need an opinion... It has come to my attention that some people don't like time skips. Later on in the story, I was going to do a three years later thing for Dylan, making him 18. After a few chapters I would get him into a sex scene...

BUT... What do you guys think? Should Dylan go through his puberty phase instead of me skipping to him at 18? It would make the story MUCH longer.

Honestly... I wouldn't mind working on the story longer. It would give Dylan more character development.

Hey guys.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve written any blogs like this. I’ve looked back on some of my other advice blogs I’ve written some time after I first joined this site. And while I’ve gotten mostly positive feedback for them, the advice itself in the blogs, or at least how it was presented, could use some work.

And I’m here to talk about a bit of a delicate subject, which is homosexuality representation in stories.

Hello dear readers, Warrior Priest here. I'm reaching out to you all today with a humble question. Well, maybe it's not to humble. You see, I have had a few ideas for stories floating around in my head, some even have a full synopsis and chapter lists. But, being so abound with energy and inspiration can be a detriment as much as it is a blessing. I simply cannot decide which story to focus on writing next. That is where you all come in. I ask that you consider the following options, and give

Hello everyone of this beloved community where we all gather to share our tales! (Pun not intended. Seriously)

So I wanted to make a part two of my other Advice For New Writers post, for I thought that there is still more things that are needed to cover. And in fact, I was right. I only provided how to fix writer's block, but I didn't proceed further by giving more for you newbies here. So, to fix that, I will make this one dedicated to First Appearances!

I've been really busy. Too busy to do anything for anything I write. If anybody has any advice for writer's block or making time, please leave a comment below.

After some thinking, a lot of advice, and a bit of writing and writer's block, I'm starting to think that writing isn't supposed to be fun anymore. I'm not trying to cause trouble. I just wanted to know if writing is supposed to be fun or not. What do you guys think?

I've written a lot of horror. Some of it good, some of it bad. I like to think I've gotten sort of okay at it.

Hi-ho, Merc here! It's been a while since I've actually talked about writing on a writing-based website—most of them lately have been about vidya games or how awesome tits are.

Sometimes how awesome vidya gaem tits are, in a divine infusion of tastes. It's like a metaphorical PB&J of combos

Hello Everypony!

Since the end of the hiatus, I have been working on creating a Cosmare magazine site with the intention of using it for a Brony Advice Column, however, now that I have become more active on tumbler, I might even use it to post stuff about fashion other things similar to Cosmo.

Feel free to trot over to the site and check it out!

Another addition to the Cumulative Advice blog I've been writing; this one focuses on misconceptions as a core idea. The most fundamental misconception in all of literature occurs when the reader assumes that if a character believes (or says) a thing, then that thing must be true. This assumption undermines the very concept of characters as people, since it goes against the first rule of humanity:
