Mariposa Aristeo

@anne-of-lothlorien Yes! *hands you award* Now it’s your turn again!

Rose sat all alone in the big best parlor, with her little handkerchief laid ready to catch the first tear, for she was thinking of her troubles, and a shower was unexpected.

A Little Princess?

@winter-rose That blue door is so cool!

@perfectfifths Cheesy children’s literature (I intend to primarily write children’s books anyways). Definitely not sappy romances. I’m not a fan of romance in books or movies unless it’s done just right.

Would you rather write with your toes, or have to wear an astronaut suit every time you write?

@perfectfifths I’d rather only be able to eat after I wrote 2 chapters (that actually would be a good incentive to write).

Would you rather write a book you love but everyone else dislikes, or write a book you dislike but everyone else loves?

@emily-d Wow, yes Kate’s right, that is an enormous question.

Here are a few other things you could do in addition to Kate’s and Daeus’s awesome advice: Try to get to know your character as much as you know yourself. Write a list of the things they like/dislike (you’ve probably heard this before) that no one will know but you. What’s your cha…[Read more]
