Being a Better Writer: Concluding a Subplot · 10:22pm Sep 21st, 2020

Hey people! First off, apologies for being a bit late today. I stayed up late making sure the ad campaign for the Big 300 Sale had properly launched, slept late as a result, and then got sidetracked by a lot media news (Bethesda, if you’re curious).

Well...this sucks. · 10:59pm Oct 2nd, 2015

I can't seem to write my own material anymore :raritycry:

Not that I haven't tried, but for the past month, I've only been able to work together with DJ or otherwise help out others with their work instead of my own for some reason.

And then there's the videogame addiction rearing it's ugly head again :rainbowlaugh:

DJ "Convinced" me to get Terraria, and then later Dragon Ball Xenoverse, which we have been playing together nonstop.

Fun! :pinkiehappy:

Writer's Workshop: How Characters are Blind · 2:50am May 2nd, 2015

All fiction is, at its core, a morality play. By which I mean, every story is meant to convince the reader of the goodness of some method of thinking and the badness of some other one. Children's TV is much more overt about it, of course, but in the end, everything does this to some greater or lesser extent. This is that central inequity I'm always talking about. You write the story with two different, conflicting approaches in mind, then you prove through your story which one will make your

Writer's Workshop #15: Show, Don't Tell · 10:02pm Mar 7th, 2015

Seriously, what the heck does that even mean? "Show, don't tell," I mean. You're writing as best as you can, but then some jerk editor like me writes, "Show, don't tell here" on your work like it's a gift from the gods, drops the mic, and walks away. And you're left staring at your story wondering what you did wrong. Truth be told, it, like all writing advice, is very complicated and not always correct. But I'll try my best to help you look behind the curtain and understand what exactly "show,

Writer's Workshop: Writing Female Characters · 8:55pm Jan 6th, 2016

As fans of this particular series, we are, in a sense, extremely lucky. Something like 90% of the characters are female in persuasion*; not only that, but we get a wide variety of archetypes and expressions of that femininity. Many shows aren't so lucky. If you're lucky, you get one, maybe two, and they're usually generic girl characters, a token effort to make the story more inclusive. The truth is, the writing world is still trying to figure out who these strange creatures we call "women"

Writer's Workshop: Seeking Pagliacci · 3:43am Jan 3rd, 2017

Well, well, well. It's certainly been a while, hasn't it? I'm sorry it's been so long. I've been meaning to get back on the saddle, but you know how it is. Always some easy distraction close at hand. Well, this year, no more! (Ignore the last time I said that then didn't update for six months.) I'm going to pump out regular Workshops and make the most of it! Today, I thought I'd cover a topic that recently came to my attention: comic relief. What is it, and how do we use it in stories? That's

Vertigo and Writer's Block · 7:41pm Feb 3rd, 2016

I know its been a while since we've posted a new chapter, but we've ran into some difficulties. We do have some ideas on the next chapter, but getting it down is the problem. All writers run into this problem, so I know it will pass and we can put the chapter. If any of you can give us some advice on how to get over it faster, it will be greately appreciated.
