Being a Better Writer: Gradual Character Development · 10:13pm Jan 23rd, 2017

Hello readers! I'm back!

I know it was only a week, but honestly, it felt much longer. Funny how time works like that. It feels like forever since I've worked on a Being a Better Writer post, but at the same time, it feels like just yesterday I finished editing Colony ...

Time does weird things. And moves in odd ways. Speaking of which, that's probably a good topic for another BaBW post: Time. That one's on the list now.

Being a Better Writer: Empty Details · 10:11pm Dec 5th, 2016

Today's topic is a bit of the inverse of the one I wrote last week. I didn't intend for this at first—in fact I had no plans for an inverse article when I sat down last Monday; the appearance of this one is entirely coincidence brought about by something I was reading.

Being a Better Writer: Balancing Readers' Suspension of Disbelief · 1:02am Dec 13th, 2016

"Go! Go! Go!" Natalie didn't need to be told twice. With the clock ticking, the building was only minutes from coming apart in a blast that would level half the block. If she could get away before then, she had a chance, but if not ...

"Go!" the voice in her ear shouted once more.

"I'm going!" she snapped, crouching by the body of the colonel and retrieving his sidearm. Some of his thugs could still be standing between her and the exit.

Being a Better Writer: Writing Warfare · 12:27am Jun 14th, 2016

Welcome back, readers (and by extension, writers). It’s time for another Being a Better Writer post. The topic for this week? It’s another request, and an interesting, if complex, one. Today, we’re going to discuss how to write a scene of warfare. Not a shoot-out, or a simple fight, but a full-on war.

Being a Better Writer: Sentence Construction and "Run-ons" · 9:13pm May 2nd, 2016

Sentence construction is one of those touchy things with a lot of novice writers. Personally, I blame the education system for not doing an adequate job explaining things, but the truth of the matter is that there are a lot of young writers out there (or worse, novice critics) who pass judgement on their own or others work without knowing much about what they’re actually passing judgement on. In the best case scenario, this leads to confusing feedback. In the worst-case scenario? Bad

Being a Better Writer: On Writing About Race · 10:40pm Apr 18th, 2016

Oh boy.

Yep, this post had to come at some point or another. Given the charged climate of “PC” these days (that’s “political correctness,” not “Personal Computer,” sadly) days, this topic is one that’s come up again and again in writing. Online, offline … just about everywhere.

Being a Better Writer: Keeping Character Variety · 3:37pm Apr 30th, 2018

Welcome back readers! If you’re seeing this early early early Monday morning, that means that I succeeded in getting it written on Saturday before my work shift … so that I wouldn’t have to worry about not having written it during my Monday and Tuesday work shifts.

Whispers from the Future is Discontinued · 12:26pm Jan 23rd, 2019

Hello everypony, I am here to tell you that my story Whispers from the Future is being Discontinued as of 01/23/19 due to myself losing track of where I wanted it to go.

I do have plans of rewriting it later on, however I am focusing on a new story idea right now and not worrying about multi chapters at this very moment.

Thank you for understanding.

HOW TO WRITE PRINCESS LUNA · 3:15am Nov 30th, 2021

"Oh Tumbleweed!" you cry.

"It's been awhile since you've done one of these dumb posts! But, since you continue to be BEST AT PONIES (and not just because the fandom is barren and fallow in the post S9 era), please, tell us, how do you write Princess Luna? Given she's been one of the most fanfic'd characters since the beginning of the dang show, we probably should have asked you this sooner, but hey. Got any tips?"

WELL LET ME TELL YOU.

Weekly Update · 5:09am Dec 20th, 2019

Got to 2700 words in total for the chapter this week. Would have finished the Diamond Tiara part this week, but for some reason I got really ill for my two days off so I was definitely not in my right mind to write anything truly coherent. Hopefully with how the next week is, busy but not as bad as I expected, I might finish it.

Next Week... · 6:54am Oct 14th, 2022

Dunno when, but I'm going to start posting stuff next week. Don't know how much stuff I will post, but something is going up. I've been on a roll with my art, and I've been trying to get more and more writing done on top of that. Maybe it's because I've be re-immersing myself into more and more music, or I'm finally getting out of this weird funk I've been having for a couple years. Whatever it is, it's effective.

I watched Jurassic World and... · 12:41am Jun 22nd, 2015

It was awesome! I think it could have more dinosaurs, because great part of the movie focus on people. But Blue and Rex team up to end with Indominus was... AMAZING. Best part, 'nuff said. Also the Mosasaur part was amazing too when watching in 3D. BTW, I learned that: Blue is best dinosaur.

You are being watched.

The Government has a secret system, a Machine, a Machine that spies on you every hour of every day.

I know because I built it. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything, violent crimes involving ordinary people. The Government considers these people irrelevant.
