Mariposa Aristeo

Hi, @photobloggergal! Welcome to the forum! Are you a pirate (I see you like to shoot canons)? 😜

I’ve found that the best way to find a name is by purchasing a baby name book. I have one with 5,000+ names and I get over 50 percent of my characters’ names from that. How would the gender affect the plot? If it won’t, then just have the baby be the…[Read more]

Thanks, @aislinn-mollisong!

Here’s one for my short story, The Legend of Dragonwood.

Now that I can directly upload images, I am celebrating by posting a collage I made for my favorite movie company, Pixar. 🙂

@kate-flournoy That quote is beautiful!

@winter-rose That’s awesome! I love it!

@daeus Yay! I cannot contain my excitement! I’ve been eagerly anticipating being able to directly upload images! 😁

@winter-rose I’m not doing NaNo either (it comes at a bad time because November is a super busy month for me—it’s when I’m finishing up all my Christmas cards and paintings). However, Aberdeen is tackling NaNo and is ready to devour everyone’s books as soon as they write them. 😉

@emily-d No, I’ve never read any of Chuck Black’s books (I’m not much into fantasy). And like @salome01w4g and @perfectfifths, I’ve never heard of Sigmund Brouwer. What kind of stuff does Sigmund write? 🙂

@ethryndal Hmm…when I think of fairytales what comes to mind is apples, slippers, princesses, magic mirrors, stepmothers and stepsisters, castles, knights, dragons, fairies, elves, dwarfs, trolls, love’s first kiss, sleeping, roses, being betrothed to a guy you don’t want to marry due to the royal marriage customs, swans, frogs, talking f…[Read more]

@ethryndal Someone should start a thread titled “Why Drinking Coffee Can Ruin Your Writing” where all us coffee haters could unite, listing all the reasons why it is so utterly awful. 😉

@ethryndal On which one? Coffee, cocoa, or Diet Coke? 😜

@anne-of-lothlorien “We also will fight over which writing drink is right –” I love that line. I know, @the-real-kapeefer should recite this poem in his next video!

@dragon-snapper That quote is hilariously awesome.

@dragon-snapper Neat! I like that quote about her heart being a flower.

@ethryndal I don’t think I want to meet your…er…other very cool personage. 😉
@dragon-snapper Cool!
@daughteroftheking I love all the photos in your collage. It reminds me of beauty and the beast.

@dragon-snapper Ooh! And a hibiscus! My favorite flower besides plumerias!

@dragon-snapper “Just because I’m kidnapping you doesn’t mean you need to starve to death.”

Awesome line.

@dragon-snapper Cool! What genre is this new book idea? 🙂

@jane-maree Those collages are super! I love that quote on the last one.
