It was in the script. That's why.
This comment actually raised an interesting question for me. Is it possible to have bad writers in the pony universe? I'm sure there are some amateur writers around (e.g. Twilight's letters when her cutie mark is magic), but presumably anypony that pursued a writing career would get a writing cutie mark that would demonstrate her skill at writing. If a pony got some other cutie mark, she would be highly unlikely to go into a career as a professional writer.

Thinking about it, the only way I could see the pony universe relying on bad writing for major productions would be if writing cutie marks were so rare that there aren't enough of them to go around. And if that were true, pony writers might be in high demand and would live very wealthy and comfortable lives when they weren't writing.

...And somehow I just reached the conclusion that good fanfiction writers could get ponified and live like kings/queens.
