So as a budding fanfiction author I am running into a wall here. I have decent grammar and vocabulary (I get lazy sometimes in online forums and stuff when I'm being quick with the replies or writing with more slang in my speech). I also have no problem coming up with conflict chapters and those just flow pretty easy. But as we all know making character development or characters to relate to you need some chapters where no serious conflict happens and they just interact with other characters to enrich the world they live in as well as flesh themselves out even if their characters are well established in the show. My main issue is that when i write slice of life chapters the situations seem bland and incredibly predicable, also the characters speech patterns and flow of tone seems rather forced. So I guess what my question is for anyone who might want to throw their two bits into the collection hat here. Any tips for writing slice of life chapters? Any advice for making the characters interactions flow and not seem forced? How do you write good chapters while having no serious conflict? Any ways to decide who or who not to put in these kind of chapters in a story about the mane 6 aka putting all of them seems like too much but general advice on who to pick? Any advice would be great y'all don't have to answer all of the questions but a few pointers would be just the best!

My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Twilight Sparkle How did you find MLP Forums?: Through a friend/google search, can't honestly remember where I first heard of this place How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Funny enough I live in TN in the USA but I first heard about it from a pen-pal in the Netherlands. At first it wasn't my cup of tea but I've had lots of things grow on me before so i stuck it out and then magically around the end of season one and the beginning of season two I because entranced by it. Found the fandom, became really involved in it and the rest is as they say history. I'm 23, work in IT and just like to live my life as i want to. I don't really have ambitious career goals as I prefer to just be happy and do what makes me happy. I like to write but due to a massive lazy streak plus a really hard time of writing slice of life chapters I haven't actually written anything yet (working on getting better on that). Love reading fanfiction and some of it is just the best. I love meeting new friends and networking with others. I would eventually like to be a good artist but that's a long term thing I'd rather get better at what I'm already kind of good at.
