All right! And we’re back with today’s follow-up to one of our more recent posts! Remember? The one about health?

Okay, I’m actually joking. This isn’t a post about that. But it was too good an opportunity a joke to pass up. Sagging middle … anyway …

Been a while since I've done a PMV!

So I watched a playthrough of “The Beginner’s Guide” recently (GREAT game) and loved it, so I decided to do a video about Starlight Glimmer and Trixie Lulamoon with the credits song “Turn Back”. Probably one of my more gentle PMVs, not to mention shortest. I really wish the song was longer.

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.

Hello readers! Who’s ready for a busy week?

Why ask? Because it most definitely is going to be a busy one. For starters, Axtara – Banking and Finance completed the Alpha 1 this weekend! Which means it’s time for Alpha 2!

Well, I said I'd do it. And I did. Doctor Whooves: Friendship is Wibbly is officially a thing that now exists! Because of some earlier confusion with the order of stories which led to the creation of the Discontinuity Guide, I'll be using this blog post as a similar sort of directory for Series 1 specifically, for the greatest possible ease of navigation. I hope you all enjoy reading these stories as much as I enjoyed

It’s back! The time has come! Topic List #16 lies broken and battered, all but one of its topics spent. While Topic List #17 is fresh and pristine, ready to be decorated with concepts and ideas.

So the time comes once more, readers: What do you want to see Being a Better Writer discuss? What writing topics do you want to know about? What writing concepts do you want to hear more of? What puzzles and questions do you seek answers to?

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.

Halfway through the winter semester, and I'm already seeing leaps and bounds in my understanding of the English language, thanks to university-level editing courses. Seeing the problems everyone has (and I had, for a long time) with grammar and punctuation and the like, I figured I would make a series of blog posts to finally make these concepts clear for the average Pony Joe Blow fanfic writer/editor/reader.

So let's try it, shall we?

Part 1: You Are Here!

I'm going to file this one under Being a Better Writer, but as most of you can tell from the title, I consider it more in line with the act of being a good reader than a writer. Though I suppose as a reviewer, you're going to leave a written review ... but by the terminology of what I usually refer to when I say "writing" it is a little different.

Okay, first of all, I need to apologize for this post coming so late in the day. I know that yesterday I said I would have it up this morning, but as some of you likely noticed ... that didn't happen. What did happen was that last night, as I sat down to put together what would have been this morning's post, it ... Well, it wouldn't go together. I was nursing a headache, tired, and after a frustrating time spent slapping together a less-than-subpar BaBW post, I canned the
