I have just submitted a collection of narrative poems that I have written about my and friend's OCs
I hope that you enjoy them.

An obstacle is something that comes between a character and something they want.

Today we're tackling a topic directly. Head on. We'll be discussing a problem I often see throughout literature, especially work from new writers or in the area of fanfiction (and both are probably bolstered by the fact that most television deliberately commits this act in order to pad out run-time).

Hey hey! I'm almost back to full health, and it's been far too long since a Classic Being a Better Writer post went up on the site!

Greetings fellow bronies and nerds.

I just wanted to give a quick update. First of all, sorry to those who has been waiting for Rising Storm for a while, I needed to plan out the path ahead for a bit. I know the overall story and the details, but there were some narrative choices I have not settled on yet.

It's been a while since I've written one of these, but I've been hanging around in FimFiction's Discord's Writing Help chats, and one of the most common things I've been seeing is difficulty with character voicing. Character voicing is hard. It's what's important to making characters stand out from each other. So I thought I'd write a little blog about some of my thoughts on Word Choice in relation to a character's voice.

Once again it's time to opine in relative obscurity, but it can't be helped. For a new Mortal Kombat game is upon us - to be the first since Mortal Kombat 11, which was released in 2019.

I'm back! No longer diseased! Well, not fully. And still with a recovering knee injury, but those things take time, or so I'm told by the doctors. But I am well enough to write write write at last!

The editing process for Chp. 3 of “Behind Him” is at least 1/3 of the way finished. The whole narrative is completed I just have to go through all the nit picky editing. I’m honestly not sure why editing took so long this time other than I’ve been busy. Anyways, just letting you all know that you’ll have something to look forward to here soon, hopefully by sometime next month

Hello readers! Welcome back!

So updates! I did manage to hit my quota last Friday despite being a little sick. And while I wouldn’t put it past that segment to need a little editing, overall it was a pretty kick-butt segment of [REDACTED] battling [REDACTED].
