I added more to my story. Instead of making an entire chapter and then publishing it, I dicided I would write a few paragraphs and publish that, adding more every time I got on. It fits me, but I have a feeling people would rather wait a long time then to slowly read a story over a long period of time. I want to just unpublish the story and publish it when it's done. I want to, but I don't have the balls lol. I have officially unpublished the first chapter of my first story. The 2nd unfinish

In the beginning there was a Game Master, and over the course of seven days he created a perfect world full of intrigue, villains, heroes, and magic.

I've had a Patreon for a long while now, but I need donations now more than ever with the winter coming. Pretty soon I may need to rely on my supporters just to pay rent.

It's not like you all won't be getting anything out of it. I'll be posting Patron-only content both SFW and NSFW. I've already got a few things up that I'm sure will appeal to fans of Maud Pie. Limestone is next.

Welcome back, all, to another Monday! I've got to type fast with this post, as I've got another shift at my part-time today. This time, it's in the afternoon rather than the morning, however, so as long as I keep my fingers moving, you're getting a Monday post! Really quick, however, before I get started: some quick news updates!

Greetings everyone!
I’m sure many of you have noticed the “How to make a good story?” threads popping up from time to time in many groups and blogs of FIMFiction. While it is impossible to fully answer that question in a meaningful way, certain aspects of a good story can be elaborated on.

Ever thought of playing cricket without a bat and ball and winning it like a pro champ?

What if we tell you that now you can make a lot of money not by just playing cricket but by predicting it using your simple tactics, that too from the comfort of your home!

Hello, readers! I hope you’ve all had a pretty good weekend and are back and ready to talk about writing, because we’ve got an interesting topic here today. Which is a request topic, but in a broader sense than the original seeker intended.

You know, this is the first time I think I’ve had a post fall on April 1st, also known as April Fools’ Day. And part of me really wondered if I should do an April Fools’ Day post with this week’s Being a Better Writer.

Or: Yet Another Way to Manage Pacing.

Welcome back readers! How are things going with you? Well and healthy I hope? Washing your hands? Using a mask? Doing your part?

In this video I show you the basics of world building. Consider it a sneak peek into the panel I’m going to give at Galacon 2019. But of course, the panel itself will be much longer and much more interactive. This video is also a chance to find out how I look in real life, if you were wondering about that. I hope you won’t be disappointed with what you see. ;P

After having written each of the main cast in this fanfic, and while I suffer through a period of writer's block in it, I've decided to write a blog post about how I capture each of their personalities and ways of talking through text. I've ordered them by their first appearance in my fic.

For those that don’t know, I am in high school, not only that, but it’s also an early college program.

One of the classes I’m taking happens to be a college level English class (English 101). Now, I’ve always found the concepts behind high school English interesting, the same way I find Music Theory interesting. When picking up these ‘proper ways’ to write a story or a piece of music, I realize that these things I love doing are incredibly complicated underneath the hood.

Hello writers! It’s time for Being a Better Writer once more, and once again we’re returning to a topic that’s so well-worn it may as well have left a groove in the site itself.

All right. So, yesterday's incarnation of this post, to what is now great irony, started with a worried critique of Wordpress' freshly rolled out posting interface. To be specific, it critiqued the poor interface design, but also noted with a faint hint of worry that something so new was bound to have some surprises of a possibly unpleasant variety.
