While I´m working on the next chapter (yes, indeed thats still happening, don´t hit me!), I thought it would be a good time to continue this blog series to tie you guys over until the release.
As usual, these are only guidelines not rules, so if you disagree with my advice feel free to ignore it. These blogs just serve s window in how I write my stories and what elements I use. Now without further ado...
Worldbuilding
Games are an important form of ancillary worldbuilding. They create verisimilitude by showing that characters do play games, but can also create a fundamental alien-ness. Think of the Dejarik from Star Wars or the 3D chess from Star Trek.
Unicorns present an interesting combat scenario. Not only do they lack traditional human biometrics, they have telekinesis. This means that traditional single combat applies even less to them than it does to the other ponies, because their options are much greater and varied.
This blog post is a meandering mental exercise about one possible form unicorn combat may take.
We just came across the video for my 5 Steps to Writing Anything seminar, so first off, let me post it here for y'all! (along with the playlist of all the online cons I've had recorded)
That done, consider this the first announcement that...

Hello readers! Welcome back to another Monday installment of Being a Better Writer! I hope that all of you had an enjoyable weekend!
Hello every pony. It’s been a while.
A lot has happened for me, though I won’t go into too much detail about my personal life (it’s boring anyway), so instead I’ll just cut to the chase.
Those who have been following me for a while know that I find pony kinesiology and biomechanics to be an interesting topic for musing. Because ponies are so physically different from humans, any and all of their technology and day-to-day objects would have to be fundamentally different to work for them. Designing something as simple as a door handle or pair of scissors requires a completely new approach and mindset when dealing with ponies.
As y'all know, Jinglemas is a two-way street; not only do we write a story but we're gifted one in return.
My request was basically the same as it always is: background ponies, any generation; prefer SoL; human okay but no Anon.
For today’s worldbuilding exercise, let’s look at something that is at once universal and distinctive. Everyone eats food. At the same time, eating unfamiliar food can be a very alien experience. Food is a big part of cultural and geographic identity. Real life cuisine has countless gradations and variations. The ingredients and resources available give each real life culture a distinct history and evolution.
