I know that I’ve been kind of quiet lately. Two posts per week, one of them Being a Better Writer. But there’s a good reason for it.

Jungle is surging forward. And I mean racing. I’ve been throwing a lot of work into it as it has entered the Alpha, and currently, that means I’m getting about 20,000-30,000 words of it edited per day,

W-why...?

Why does this keep freaking happening when I want to finish an entry lately?!

I SWEAR I've been trying to cut these done to more manageable portions! Honest! In fact I've been thinking of going back to Boast Busted and putting the ending part in it's own chapter...

... but that doesn't solve the problem now!

Just wanted to know the edits on Once a Time Lord are now complete. Certain chapters have now been extended and a few new music pieces from the Doctor Who soundtrack have been added.

The segment reading:

Lyra sighed. “All right fine. Cogsworth, forget what I told you. The buffalo willingly gave up their lands to make room for the ponies.”

Now reads:

Lyra sighed. “All right fine. Cogsworth, forget what I told you — override protocol A, password twilightisaputzasterisksixnine. The buffalo willingly gave up their lands to make room for the ponies.”

You'll see why this is important in about 90K words. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Dear Bronies and Pegasisters,

I know it's been a while, but while I had some time I figured to let you all be aware of what's going on.

I have realized...it has been a year since I first uploaded a chapter and introduced my first story, "Adventures Tale." Thanks to the inspiration from other writers, Radbunny and SeaUrchin, I got into writing this book and know it should have been finished by now.

But, as a recent commentator, Glitched Grim, pointed out, the story is back and is "very active!" And you are right....

I've decided since I'm near the end of the book, to go back to the beginning and pave over some mistakes and typos I may have missed, chapter by chapter. Nothing too big, and nothing to effect and change the story. At most, different words used in some dialogue trade-offs.

Hey all! It’s been a while, hasn’t it. A lot’s been going on. Drank a lot of tea.

I have officially graduated with an associate’s degree in arts with a focus on writing! Hooray! I have a job as a writing tutor now, and have been editing professionally as a side job for about a year. So, where does that leave my ponyfic proofreading?

I am copy pasting what I have written as the author note for An Extended Holiday.

Yesterday, I 'reread' all my stories. I found faults in all of them, despite being very thorough in the editing process for each of them prior to their publishing. I guess it just takes some time before one can recover from editing blindness.

Today, I've fixed all the mistakes I had spotted. All of my published stories are now a little better.

Editing is a curious thing. Almost everyone agrees that it’s something a written work needs to have. But by the same token, it’s one thing that I’ve noticed that, in my time as an author, many people don’t actually agree upon or know much about what it entails. The most accurate consensus I could assemble from what I’ve read and heard from casual writers (not dedicated authors) or the average layperson is that editing is about making a written work better. It’s about fixing the

So RoMS has been the head of the Post Apocalyptic Emporium Discord server, and one day randomly offered to go through the first chapter of Speak to polish it. I know it's always a little risky to fix things you've already done, but about 90% of the fixes he gave me were grammatical (which proves that I did not deserve that A I got in grammar in college), but it helps the story flow and have less interruptions where you

I will write a proper con report tommorrow; right now, I'm actually trying to get some writing done.

Okay, really, there's no other reason I made this blog post then as a excuse to post cute pony art. And seeing as how school's starting back up, why not art of our favorite school teacher and some of her students?

So, a while ago now Legendbringer announced that he was going back through the early chapters of Fall of Starfleet and sprucing them up a bit, touching them up, adding some new stuff, all that sort of thing.

At the time I commented that I probably ought to do the same thing, but I never actually did anything about it.

If anyone can clear this up for me, I will appreciate it.

I have found while proofreading Volume 2 that after editing the text and adding more where needed, I find that the word count is smaller than it was before by several hundred words. And it even seems to apply with chapters before I swap out the old text for the new.

Thank you for your patience, I finished some editing. Here's a pinkie on a segway for all your troubles.

Chapter 1 is more questionable than it was before I edited. The way Ruby and Kasper meet in the few weeks of Ruby being in the castle is less rushed now and more mysterious. Questions of "who" and "why" will be asked more instead of "what" and "why". The chapter is so close to being done. The story is more interesting to me and hopefully, it's interesting to everyone else too. Once the chapter is done, I promise it will be better.

Howdy howdy~

I just had a largely productive day of writing and editing. It feels good to be in the grove again ^_^ I know that I've made it known in a few places already that I'll be returning to the The Poisoned Barb's Tale later this year, but I just wanted you all to see just how far things have progressed. When I took this picture though, I noticed something that I thought could be interesting to talk about in the meantime...
