You've gotta get through a million terrible words before you can start writing some good ones. So have another five thousand of them.
Hey, everypony. Long time no see, I'm a girl now, yadda yadda.
I came up with this story idea a little while ago. I wrote out a lot of it, and then I figured, "You know what? This would be a really great way to close out the show. Put this out on the day of the finale, and you can sorta bookend everything."
Then the finale happened, and 1) I totally forgot, and 2) the story wasn't done yet.
The Nightmare had one thousand beasts…
The days after defeating her were hell.
Let's talk character flaws. I know I've already covered them a little bit in some of my previous posts, but I want to take a slightly different tack. What if we wanted to make a character that was perfect? They're always right, they're good at pretty much everything, they can effortlessly conquer every challenge put in front of them?

Hi, everybody! I'd like to share with everyone this story I picked up from... somewhere. I'm sure I stole it from somewhere, but the origin is lost to time, now. Anywho, I've tried to tell this story dozens of times, and it never fails to... completely baffle everyone who's heard it. I, personally, think it's hilarious, but I don't think most people get it. It's sort of a Shaggy Dog Story, but I'll tell you now, the punchline isn't a pun or anything like that. It requires some foresight and
Hey, all! The following stories don't really have anything to do with... anything, really. They're just small moments that had a meaningful impact on me. I wanted to find some way to share them, but each individual one wasn't enough to make a post on its own, so... here you go.

She awoke to the feeling of her sister prodding her awake. She stood up and stretched before looking around in every direction. There was nothing but stars and galaxies in every direction, an endless void expanse. Her sister said quietly, “Where are we?”
“I don’t know.” She smiled despite the fear. “It feels like home, though, don’t you think?”

“C’mon, Twilight. It’s time for supper!”
Twilight Velvet peeked into Twilight’s study. The young mare was hunched over her notebook, her pen dancing across the page in long, curled strokes. Velvet walked over to get a closer look. “What are you working on?” she asked.
“Oh, I’m just writing,” Twilight replied.
