"Dear princess celestia, today I learned how to write letters without spike's help."

Tried a completely new way of painting. I like it.

I really like the background, though the objects stick out.
Look at the brightness of the books, then the brightness of the ground the books are lying on. The vast difference makes them stick out, as if they were hovering above the ground. The same goes for Twilight, and it's hard to make out how exactly the candles are connected to the ground.
As for the shading, candles don't burn in a bright white. Tone down the highlights, make the light more dim, and give it some red-yellow tint. Also, try make the magic aura more brighter, and give it a bit of a glow to make it stick out more.
Lastly, for the anatomy, two things: your necks and torsos are still too big in relation to the torso, and the flank, or rather, the tail, looks really odd. You might wanna do some sketch lines to confirm the basic proportions before starting to color it.
