Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic Any Advice for A Soon-To-Be Blogger? in the forum Publishing & Platform 7 years, 3 months ago
@jenwriter17 I’m not sure I’m the best person to offer advice on the subject since I’ve only been blogging since May. I agree with @audrey-Caylin that getting people to read a blog is the hardest part (I’ve been struggling with that myself). Posting about yourself and your life’s happenings is advice I’ve heard on various places (I think that…[Read more]

WELLLLLL, forget my hiatus!! I was talking about it with my mom earlier and she (being the superhero she is) led me to realize that if I rid my life of Kingdom Pen, I’ll simply fill that empty…[Read more] -

@ethryndal. This topic has become surprisingly gruesome… except for the lovely froggie kiss. Please note my lips aren’t actually touching his. I wouldn’t put my lips on something I wouldn’t touch with my fingers. He’d been living in formaldehyde solution for a long time!

Hey, y’all!! I need to let you know that starting this Saturday (or Sunday-ish if you are in Australia), I am starting a two-week hiatus. I will be back on February 3rd (Australia: the…[Read more]

*Stan starts crying*
‘But you’re the only artist who has ever made a good rendition of me!!’
🙁 We’ll miss you, too. Have a good hiatus, though. And we’ll be waiting for you to come back.
*passes out a goodbye bowl of raspberries and ice cream*-
Awww, Stan! I’ll be back! Don’t cry, dear! How about if I bring back another portrait of you? XD
*direct to Sam* Or does he need it?
Thank you, Sam! I appreciate it! *sips ice cream*

Aw, we’ll miss you! *wipes eyes* Hope everything goes as planned for you. We look forward to your return!😘

Thank you!! I hope so, too *hugs*

@Ethryndal That recurve picture looks almost exactly like the recurve we use.
Secondly, you really have researched archery. Impressive. Most impressive.
@That_Writer_Girl_99 *shoves spectacles up on nose quite scholarlyly* I back up what she said. Mostly because my dad’s an archer and several of us amateur archers, so I know at least the basics.…[Read more]

Hey, guys! (Yes, I say this every time. Yes, I have sporadic long breaks. I apologize. Life is hard.)
I am currently writing, (yes, still the same thing.) so if any of you ladies, gentlemen, droids, or mythical beasts want to hang out, I am available for the time being.

Woah. I can’t believe we’ve both been on this forum for so long and a) I never ‘friended’ you, and b) I didn’t discover your blog till yesterday. YESTERDAY! And I have to say I’ve never laughed so hard in my life before. Tears were flowing. I sometimes laugh like that with my family (they’re nearly as funny as yours! 😉 ) but I don’t normally…[Read more]

‘Unfriends’ we are no longer. 😉
BUT THIS MAKES ME HAPPY. Seriously. My blog gave you LAUGHY TEARS!!! When I started it, I honestly just wanted to bring a little joy to the world, so when people tell me that it made them laugh, or it brightened their day a little, or whatever… It’s terribly fulfilling.

My mum loved the severed wampa arm cake. I would have done exactly the same thing. 😛 I dissected a fish today, and this is a picture of it by the time I’d finished. My thoughts during the process were disturbingly Gollum-like. “Aren’t we a nice little fishiessssss. Looks! there’sss your liversessssss!” 😀

I don’t actually know how to post a picture, so let me keep trying! 😉

I’ve tagged you.

ROCK AND POOL, IT’S NICE AND COOL, SO JUICY SWEEEEEEET….
That is so stuck in my head now… XD “Look at the fishiesss! Nice fishiesss. Smeagol eats the tasssty little fisshieess…”

I know! 😀 I haven’t even watched the movie, just read The Hobbit, and starting LOTR soon. But a friend of mine and I often swap Gollum and Bilbo’s riddles…

Well sheesh. The first part of my comment probably just went completely over your head then.

Oh, no, don’t worry, I got it. 😛

When you’re a part of a community like this, you can’t stay in LOTR ignorance for very long!

Mariposa Aristeo started the topic Email List 101 in the forum Publishing & Platform 7 years, 3 months ago
I’m seriously considering creating an email list and I needed y’all’s sage advice. What are some ways to attract people to sign up? A free ebook is a good incentive, but right now I haven’t any books to offer. 😉 I was debating about having free short stories like Josiah, but I also thought about offering a free downloadable card (if that’s p…[Read more]

Anne of Lothlorien started the topic If You Know Anything About ASL in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
So, in my new book, Firefly Town, there is a younger teenager, Josh, who’s deaf. He communicates with ASL, American Sign Language. The second main character, Clay, is hearing, but learned ASL to talk with him. Felicity, the MC, when she comes into town, meets Josh. She knows a few signs, from a deaf girl at college, and learns some more.

@dragon-snapper YAY! *crys, because you finished yay, and she is crawling along pondering whether @Ethryndal should be Claw’s lawyer or if it should be a Christmas elf that annoys her. Wait! Definitely the annoying Christmas elf.* *throws confetti* Muh, ha, ha! Take that writer’s Lego brick!

@that_writer_girl_99 *sees everything on bows and archery and swords* I have a compound!
Yes, I’m still learning and I haven’t fired it much recently (It is cold here.). But I have a few things to say from what I learned.

@ethryndal You know, seeing your post just made me realize that I don’t have to write like everyone else, that I can go with my own style and structure. I can’t believe I didn’t realize that until now. *bops forehead* So thank you for saving me!

I’m glad you’re not leaving us! Also, I like your new profile picture!
That’s such a great idea to commit more time to prayer!
