Interesting thoughts. Good start. I'll be tracking.

These thoughts are worth of
beard scratching.

Hmmm, *rubbing fuzzy chin*

Cheers

While there are a noticeable amount of grammatical and canonical errors in it, this was a solid first chapter!


Can't wait to see more!

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

My faithful student, I'm afraid you'll have to ask somepony else about what it's like to have unlimited time. I never seem to have enough time. My duties are a full-time job, and I never get to take a vacation, and I never get to retire. Like a thief, I try to steal bits of personal time for myself -- an hour here, a few minutes there. It has been enough to keep me sane, thus far.

With regard to my life span, I know it must seem long to you, but even that is an illusion of sorts. Clover the Clever once told me, "We all get the same deal: one lifetime, no more and no less." I am sure if you meditate upon the relative nature of time you will see the truth in her words as I have.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Too long,didn't read.

:trollestia:

Dear Princess Celestia:

Today I learned about paragraphs and spacing. Apparently, they help turn a wall of text into something ponies can actually read. They seem to be a pretty important part of writing in general. Without them, a story truly becomes a disaster that nopony would ever want to read.

See, look at the space I added there! Doesn't that make things so much easier? I guess I figured this out by reading actual books. Books use this sort of thing, and so they are a much better place to learn how to write than just reading stuff off of the magi-net. Also, I suppose it might not hurt to pay attention in class if they happen to be teaching these things.

Your student,
Twilight Sparkle

Thank you! It's great that you found it worth your while.

Thanks for the response, but maybe you can be more specific?
I mean I assumed that a fan fiction was meant to be, wrong, in a certain way, or did I miss something out that they talked about in the show?
And on the grammer, I never enjoyed it, but I'll try to get better!

I laughed when I read that, that's some writing, much better than mine.
And yes I do know I may not be the best writer when it comes to these things. (Referring to the grammer AND spacing)
But that's why I write, to get better at it! and yes, I do read books in my spare time and I did attend classes at school when they taught us these things.
But if I may respond with this; one does not become an author simply by reading books, one has to write too!
But reading other books helps.
And mabey you can teach me some? You know point out the wrongs I did (if you want too) and how to improve.
Thanks for reading!

What I meant by canonically-wrong was that many times you used words like "everybody" and words that would otherwise fall under different names in-show. It's nit-picky, but when you're writing an FiM fic, Bronies gotta pick up on it...:applejackunsure:

Ah!
Thank you, I guess I just never got that part into my head!
Thanks for pointing it out. :twilightblush:
