I have almost the exact same PC, but with original hardware.

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.

The oppulent magnificence of a growing love has taken my mind away from such trivialities of man and pony love making.

Blech!

So I've been helping Boss Level write a story called "What Dreams Shall Come" and the guy has a much more... refined form of writing than myself. I'm a huge feckin fan of wordplay and poetry so reading and editing the first chapter has infected me with some kind of poetry bug.

As I'm sure you all know, I haven't been updating very often. I apologize for that, but truth be told, unfortunately I've had major writer's block for "WtW?" at the moment, and procrastination doesn't help much either. Not to mention I've been preparing for school as well. So major apologies to everyone! I'll update soon.

Hello again my lovelies!

I've been on this site for a while yet I haven't really even attempted to make a story, (and I know I suck at it), so I wanted to ask around for some tips before I butcher literature.

Hey readers! Welcome back to the start of another week! I hope you all had a pretty good weekend! Mine went well. In fact, I’ve got some good news for you.

.. Soft Serve.

(She's identified as "Employee" in the latest CYOE short on the Discover Family app. She works at the frozen yogurt shop.)

Over the past few years, I've participated and had my work critiqued in countless writing workshops, each one varying in both content and usefulness. After all, there's only so much that university students, most of them beginning writers, can comment on in half an hour. Yet, if there's one thing that's been constant in every workshop I've attended, it's this: when the time comes to comment on the workshopped piece's title, everyone goes silent. Or, if they do speak up, it's just to give a

I have been going on this website for years, but just now got an account. Never felt like I needed one because I never wrote anything or had any ideas. Now I do. Made and account and started writing. I have felt like I have gotten better because of this website. The first chapter of my first story One in a Thousand had a very shitty everything. It serves no purpose to the story and I even am considering removing it because it's to long (who wants a 30 minute long story with only 5 min sex

Edit: for those of you reading this from the editorial. The video is from Ckat and is the same as the link to her. The word, however, are the transcript. We both promoted her video and both got on the editorial. Sorry about the duplication.

I recently started a writing focused Youtube channel. Part of this is bringing content from others, and the first video is up. It's about how to deal with a lack of love and recognition for your work.

As my article on knowing the ending demonstrated, there are many tools you can use to help you complete a story of any length. At issue in using all such tools is building confidence while moderating procrastination. Almost all authors, especially unpublished and poorly published ones, have a crippling fear of failure¹. Going from idea, to character generation, to plot generation, to writing, to

For the lack of better words, I decided to start off this year with a list of my least favorite things that happen in television, movies, and books. Basically any form of media at one point written down. It's something someone had the balls to write, but it falls flat most of the time or leaves disappointment in its wake. This is really long I ramble on and on I'M SORRY!

What do you guys think about working on more than one story at a time? Is it more productive or is it too distracting? Let me know in the comments!

I've got so many ideas for stories, but I really want to make sure the one I'm working on now gets updated regularly, whats a pony to do?

If you think that your own writing is boring and predictable, that's because:
1)You wrote it
2)You’ve read it like eight million times.
Others who haven't read your words before won't have this issue.
EDIT: But it also doesn't hurt to have people read your stuff. People you trust to give their honest opinions.
