A tip on writing/editing. In other words, my writing process in a nutshell. · 7:06am Apr 7th, 2018

Personally, while my preference is typically to self-edit with occasional help from prereaders, it is still important to have a good method of writing.

Reviewing By HapHazred (as seen on the Goodfic Bin) · 8:05am Jun 7th, 2015

It just so happens that I'm nearing 141 stories reviewed, which I think is rather impressive. Over the course of that time, I've developed a system. Whilst not completely methodical, it is a check-list of sorts that helps me come to conclusions regarding the story and whether it is objectively good or not.

What's Your Writing Method Like? · · 2:39pm Sep 29th, 2016

Snagging this from one of my friends(who gave their permission of course) naturalbornderpy since well, I am curious about how my own readers/followers do their own writing. So I just have some questions for you all to answer and I will start with that by answering them myself. Hope to see you all letting some light on what you like to do as well! :raritywink:

Haycartes moves forward. · 4:11am Apr 29th, 2019

Just sat down and wrote 3,400 words in three hours. Words flowed freely (mostly).

Unfortunately, I'm at least a thousand more words from end of chapter, so no post tonight. Definitely post tomorrow, though.

The Night Shift · 4:21pm Jan 2nd, 2016

Yup, new story coming! A while back I asked for a name for my main villain. I had lots of great submissions, and it was super hard choosing a name! I finally went with Dr. Greygor submitted by The Daring Cookie. I want to thank everypony for giving me such great ideas! It was super helpful. ^-^ In fact, for the grey/pink mare below, I will use the name Mechanical Method given to me

What's Your Writing Method Like? · 8:44pm Sep 27th, 2016

Since I'm procrastinating like a madman at the moment, I thought I might as well make one random blog post to keep my hands from freezing solid. (I live in Canada, remember? The film "Snowpiercer" was based on the place. :trollestia:)

The question of the day is basically: what is your preferred writing method? Not why you write, just how you write. I'll start.

Stupid sinus infection... and the New Project Revealed · 4:25am Feb 4th, 2019

I'm still a day's work away from releasing the next CSP chapter. Sinus headaches have wrecked my concentration.

But I've decided to explain my next project.

There were three core points to my thought process:

(1) Not a CSP/Maretian sequel (though large Ko-Fi or PayPal donations might persuade me to do that "return to the cave farm" bit you all keep asking for- the car repairs put me heavily in debt, and I'm missing my second most profitable convention this year)

What does the truth and electricity have in common?
Twilight has a twin sister?

Harry and Harry, a brief note on magic and differences in style · 12:30am Jul 31st, 2018

I touched on this in the comments section, when I answered Mr. Cold Ghost and aceina about the most recently published chapter of The Issue of Multiple Sunsets, titled "A Harry situation." However, I thought I would fill it in a little more. How, even though I do have a Harry Potter reference joke, and I introduce to magic user versions of Sunset Shimmer, they are more in line with the Dresden series. Essentially, I am going to explain a bit of the difference between the two, and why

Tuesday will be Changeling Space Program Day. This I decree. · 7:25pm Apr 8th, 2019

... well, technically not me.

Someone actually plumped for the top tier of my Patreon, partly to get a particular cameo in CSP, but mostly to get CSP moving again.

So, Haycartes' Pluperfect Method will skip at least one day per week. Tuesdays, at least for the time being, will be set aside for work on CSP. Those of you who are Patreon supporters will see a post tomorrow with a link to Tuesday livewriting on Google Docs.

Check out their page!

They hosted a thread in which they offered to draw commenter’s (commentor’s, commentator’s?) OCs! I was lucky enough to catch the thread and posted mine! Obviously, I’m very pleased and would like to extend my gratitude by doing a bit of advertising.

What do I write next? · 12:03am Dec 18th, 2015

You, yes you, can help me choose!

There's a bit of a predicament, you see: I have three different ideas for novella to novel length stories competing in my mind as front-runners for my next project. I'm probably going to write all three of them eventually... but the question is, in what order?

The difference between intuition and deduction... · 6:14am Mar 23rd, 2016

What's the difference between intuition and deduction?

Not much, I'm afraid. In the ,,My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" episode 'Feeling Pinkie Keen,' we learn that Pinkie Pie has some form of extra sensory perception that allows her to predict the future. This act of precognition could be labeled intuition on Pinkie Pie's behalf. But, is it really?
