I Now Have a Ko-fi Page · 1:12am Dec 8th, 2020

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.

Writing in Aesops (mind blowing moral lessons) into your story: Part 1: What not to Do · 4:45am Jul 17th, 2017

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.

The “Ikea of Games” and Why Axtara is Such a Success · 6:34pm Oct 4th, 2022

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.

A Tool for Authors: DO IT WRONG ON PURPOSE! · 8:23am Jul 24th, 2015

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.

School for New Writters Q/A · 3:11pm Aug 2nd, 2015

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.

Writing guide/video: The psychology of using swear words and expletives in writing (Video actually by Piquo Pie this time) · 12:52pm Jan 23rd, 2014

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.

Forever changing my writing, the 'he said' 'said he' debate. · 1:46pm Sep 7th, 2015

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.

When someone asks me about writing · 9:17pm Jan 20th, 2017

This has actually happened! More than once! :pinkiegasp:
Me being asked for advice on writing. Who would've thought? :derpytongue2:

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 :rainbowdetermined2:

Peeling back the curtain - How the writer writes · 1:03am Nov 15th, 2016

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.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm closing my commissions SOON. · 5:33pm Nov 6th, 2018

After 14 commissions completed in the last few weeks, I'm going to be closing my commission list the day before US Thanksgiving (November 21st). Why, might you ask? The fact is, I needed some cash to pay for much needed things, including a few medical bills and an unexpected emergency visit to the vet for my cat. The little dumbass is fine now, she just likes trying to pick on cats, and dogs, twice her size. Most of these bills are now paid, thanks in part to those

Make an outline for your chapters! · 5:50am Apr 16th, 2016

The outline is a basic part of writing, it is so simple yet so vital for a writer to do in order to be successful, whether it be a fanfiction or a real story you plan to publish as a career, the outline is needed. Yet how many of us actually make an outline? I know I didn't until just recently, and writing has become so much easier now. It keeps me organized and I know what is going to happen before I start writing so I can get it all written down and start the editing process, I will get into

Being a Better Writer: Repetitive Ticks That "Don’t Exist" · 11:17pm Nov 19th, 2018

Welcome back readers! I hope you’re doing better this Monday than I am. As I am still sick. On the mend, thankfully, and I’ll be picking up some Nyquil today to at last give this cough the boot, but it’s been tenacious in hanging on.
