As with all activities, writing fiction involves getting to grips with professional jargon. The following are some of the more common terms you may come across as you learn your craft and market your writing.
POV (Point of View): the eyes through which the events…

Friendly reminder that pride isn’t really about cute homosexual OTPs, but about all the people with different sexual preferences and gender identities who struggle for acceptance simply because of who they are.
From left to right, they represent genderqueer, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, polyamorous, and asexual. All awesome, all adorable, all beautiful, and all should be supported and encouraged to be who they are! QUEER PEEPS AND STRAIGHT PEEPS AND SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN PEEPS AND JUST ALL PEEPS EVERYWHERE 5EVER!!!!!!!!
When I was a young mare, in late middle school and early high school, I spent a lot of my time feeling sad. Around my friends and family I was normal and happy, but I spent most of my time alone feeling melancholy. It went on for about four years in total, and it felt like I was in a really really deep hole, so deep I couldn’t even see the opening anymore, and I felt like there was no way out. It wasn’t fair, and it felt like I was upset for no reason!! I had a great life, and I had friends, and I had a good family that loved me a lot, but I just couldn’t bring myself to be as happy as I thought I should have been. It was a hard time.
I couldn’t say any one thing that brought me out of that slump; it was a lot of things that worked together to make me feel better. The most important thing, though, was that I started talking to people about my feelings! I talked to friends about how I was feeling down and lonely, and it helped having people to confide in. I thought they wouldn’t really care, or they would only make me feel worse, or they’d act like it wasn’t a big deal, but I was wrong!! My friends were such a huge support, and they wanted me to tell them when I was sad so that they could make me feel better and feel loved.Another thing that helped was that I took a lot of time for myself. I did things that made me happy, like reading and painting and taking long walks in pretty places. I thought about what I wanted, I took time to fulfill my own needs before thinking about other people. I did the things that made me most happy. It took a while, but with the help of my friends and by doing things for myself, I started feeling so much better. Just remember that this sad spell will pass. It may feel like there’s no end in sight, but I promise you it will end. And know that there are people who love you and care about how you feel, maybe people you wouldn’t expect, maybe even people who barely know you. Good luck friend, I hope this helped <3
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE
Let’s say it’s 6.15pm and you’re going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!!
NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE…
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.
A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.
A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.
The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can perhaps buy precious time to get themselves to a phone and dial 911.

A very important message to our friend Tilted Easel, and actually just everyone everywhere. If someone doesn’t like what you draw then TOO BAD. Maybe if you start putting your art on the internet, then people who do like it can get a chance to appreciate it. We will be happy to promote anyone who wants their art to get more recognition <3
