Some rewrites are on the way for A Dream of Sunny Days · 12:21am Mar 4th, 2016

As I mentioned in the past, I started reworking the early chapters for Sunny Days. I gotta say, it's pretty painful to read my early stuff, haha. I imagine I'm not the first author to cringe at older chapters. Either way, this is mainly a heads up that the early chapters will get changes in the coming days/weeks. I'm removing a lot of descriptions I consider useless, so don't be surprised if you see the word count drop considerably. I'm hoping that these changes will make the story more

I finished writing A Dream of Sunny Days · 11:39pm Feb 22nd, 2016

I just finished writing A Dream of Sunny Days. It's taken me around a year and a half to do it, but all the first drafts are finished. This doesn't mean that I'm done though, far from it. There are still a lot of chapters that have yet to go through my proofreaders. I'll probably end up rewriting parts of it. At the very least I'll have to fix things up. Still, the story is on paper.

Writing Discord · 9:56pm Jan 5th, 2016

Discord is often mentioned as the most difficult character to write. He's certainly one that a lot of writers seem to struggle with. I've been told that I wrote him fairly well in "Discord and Harmony", and I've been working on some of his incoming scenes for "A Dream of Sunny Days" lately. I figured I'd put some of my thoughts about him on paper, and list some of the issues to avoid when writing him.

This is what A Dream of Sunny Days' timeline looks like · 9:06pm Dec 19th, 2015

Hey guys, this is just a general post to let you all know that the work on the story is progressing really well. I have nine chapters left to write, including both the epilogue and one I'm currently writing. I think I'm definitely past the point where there're any chances of me giving up on the fic. As a little bonus, here's the full story timeline that shows where all the chapters fit in relation to each others. I censored some things I felt were too spoilery, but it'll still let you guys know

A Dream of Sunny Days is one year old · 5:53pm Sep 7th, 2015

A Dream of Sunny Days turns one year old today. More precisely, it's been exactly a year since I started writing the prologue, just to see how it would go. Within a week, I had a plan for the entire story and had already began writing chapter one. It all went by so fast, it feels like yesterday.

How to write more words per day · 3:30pm Aug 31st, 2015

I've been told by a lot of friends that I write fast. If you follow the fic progression on my profile page, you'll see that I tend to come out with first drafts faster than my proofreaders can review them.

Would anyone be interested in proofreading? · 10:58pm Jul 27th, 2015

So, as the title implies, I might be looking at getting a second proofreader. This blog post is mostly me testing the water, seeing if anyone's interested.

My plan for A Dream of Sunny Days · 6:48pm May 23rd, 2015

I was talking to a friend recently, and the topic of long fanfics came up. We talked about what works, what doesn't, and why so many readers seem to dislike them. Two major reasons came out. The first one is that a lot of longer stories are abandoned by their author before completion. The second is lack of planning on the part of the author. A lot of multi-chapters stories have little to no plan, so they eventually lose themselves, getting confused in plot holes and diverging storylines.

All Foals Are Born Equal made it into Nonpareil Fiction · 2:36am May 11th, 2015

Technically, A Dream of Sunny Days did too, but they didn't have ribbons back then. Plus, I haven't posted a blog in a while, so this is as good an excuse as any, haha. Anyway, they gave me a shiny ribbon, so here it is.

All Foals Are Born Equal - New story · 9:32pm Apr 10th, 2015

As you can all see, I just wrote a new story based on the season opening two parter. Writing and editing the entire thing in a week was a challenge, but I think it turned out well.
