Welcome back readers! It’s another Monday and that means it’s time for another installment of Being a Better Writer!

Hey folks! Despite that ominous title, I'm here to let y'all know that I think the metaphorical "bumps" are behind me, and I should be able to get some more stuff out soon. Including the most recent thing I've previewed, which I cannot give a release date for yet, but I believe will be ready before the end of the year. At least, that's the hope. (Also, thank you so much for all the enthusiasm about it. I hope it's

Good news, folks! I’m almost back!

Almost. In transit, either physically, mentally, or both, but that’s still almost. Which means the return of new Being a Better Writer posts at last!

I have an idea for a story.
it goes like this Trixie was trying to absorb Celestia´s magic, while Celestia tried to do the same to avoid Trixie dooming the world, accidentaly, the alicorn amulet reacted due to the magic overload, a blind flash happened, and end it up fused together.Trixie is now happy that she has alicorn magic and want to rule everything.
Princess Celestia is so not happy to be apart of her and what worse Trixie has control on there shared body!!

Or "The Journey of an Unlikely Fanfic Writer"

I know this is a bit late for the New Year, but in my defense I was working on Chapter 2 for The Ponies who Played with Fire.

(Regarding that: I wasn't able to get that chapter finished by the end of 2015, but I do have most of it written and am currently doing the editing and rewriting. So I can say that the chapter will be posted in January.)

It's kind of weird for me to look back and remember how I ended up on this site.

Hey Guys, This is Darklordcomp here to update you on that Live Stream Idea that I had a while ago.

Oi, having the most terrible scourge of writers block trying to get the next chapter of Sins out... I've got an idea of where it's supposed to go and how I'm going to get there, it's just putting words to electronic paper.

This time it's a offshoot of The Moon In The Dark by Tatsurou titled The Moon In The Dark: Alt-Endings and Doomed Detours in which different paths or decisions are made that deviate from the original story, as the title implies. There's only 3 chapters published currently, but there are several others I'm working on.

Aranel the Cyborg did this nifty cover as a birthday present to me!

What a wonderful way to celebrate my upcoming 73rd birthday!

There is another pony story coming in a while. Perhaps even two. Stay tuned loyal viewers.

Hey guys, I wrote a song about wishing best pink ponk pone were real. Hope you enjoy!

There’s not much I can say which adequately summarizes the last few months of my life. My financial situation, as well as the strife of everyday life, temporarily took me away from you all. This was most unfortunate, but it could not be helped.

I have no idea what the hell I'm doing anymore, but it seems to be working, mostly. All the previous stories I've told you I was working on are still in progress, but the problem is being in the right state of mind to write them. Seriously, one of the stories I need to feel like a little kid, another one I need to be depressed as hell (or drunk, but lets not get in to that,) and the last I need to be... Ahem, in the mood. I wanna finish these damn stories, but I can't unless I'm in the
