Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic Audiobooks (and all the jazz) in the forum Book Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
@christi-eaton I’m afraid I can’t recommend any since I’ve never listened to audiobooks. 🙈 Being an introvert, I retain things better by reading rather than by listening. 🙂

Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic Character Dilemma! in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
@emily-d Maybe instead of using all the characters, she could just take her two favorites and incorporate them in a new story. Or she could create a new story with different characters but have the characters be similar to the ones in her abandoned story. 🙂

Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic Writing Advice Short Quotes in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
@rochellaine @jenwriter17 Love the quotes! ❤️ 🙂 Here are some Charles Spurgeon ones I like (they aren’t exactly writing related, but they could be applied to writing):
“Rome was not built in a day, nor much else, unless it be a dog kennel.”
“He is not the best student who reads the most books, but he who meditates the most upon them.”…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper @dekreel @catwing *whistling triple dent gum* Anger yells “No!” and pounds the control panel. Mind workers solemnly resolve never to forget these songs and decide to throw the memory of algebra into the memory dump.

@dragon-Snapper It’s your punishment for getting that Moana Shiny song stuck in everyone’s head (except mine because I haven’t seen it 😋).
@dekreel Aw, that song isn’t as bad as all that, especially compared to “Oh My Precious Cheeseburger,” “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything,” or “Oh Where, Oh Where is My Hairbrush.” You’re welcome for ge…[Read more]

Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic Weird Things People Tell Me 'Cause I'm a Writer in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago
@jenwriter17 I really haven’t had people say anything particularly humorous or weird about me being a writer…most of the time they’re just like, “how you going to eat? Or pay the bills?” 😅
I have wrote some funny things though. Like I wrote “he was carrying five sacks of grocery bags” when I meant to write “he was carrying five sacks of groc…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Hi! I’m good. 🙂 Well, I started out by helping a friend whose life had gotten hectic and was having trouble keeping up with the workload at KP. As the months went on, they decided to add me as an intern since my friend still needed the help.

@catwing Well, that’s a difficult question…some of the dinosaurs are trainable whereas others…er…not so much. 😉🦖
@daughteroftheking It’s kinda funny, when you wrote “talking plants” all I could think of was that Veggie Tale episode with the talking weed. 😅

@daughteroftheking “Long live bacon” ? *dies* 😅 Though I do happen to prefer sausage… 😉
Now you’ve got me curious about the plot.

Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic Hello everyone! in the forum Start HERE 6 years, 10 months ago
@valtmy Howdy! Me and my assistant, Aberdeen the Authorosarus (he’s an ink-drinking, book-eating dinosaur) greet you! 🦖
What are your favorite things to bake? I love making double chocolate cookies, cinnamon rolls, muffins, and scones. 🙂

@daughteroftheking @ingridrd @jessi-rae Thanks! 😊
@dragon-Snapper Thanks! I’ll be happy to grant that wish, as soon as I get it written (but that could be a long wait 😅).
Oh! Neat, I like the quote! What’s the name of this character? 🙂

Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic My Favorite Music. What's Yours? in the forum Music 6 years, 10 months ago
@dekreel No, I don’t have the Finding Dory soundtrack yet. I just started my Disney playlist last July and I’m slowly collecting the various Disney soundtracks. 🙂
@jenwriter17 I’ve never seen Star Wars, but I hope to purchase the soundtrack sometime because the music is so epic.
Oh, yes do! Dinosaur is actually about 18 years old, but the anima…[Read more]

Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic Any Manga Style Artists Out There? in the forum Art 6 years, 10 months ago
@jenwriter17 No, I’ve never drawn in that style before. Other than my Aberdeen comics, I don’t usually draw in cartoon. 🙂🦖

Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic My Favorite Music. What's Yours? in the forum Music 6 years, 10 months ago
@jenwriter17 I’d thought I’d pop in here and join the discussion. 🙂
I’m one of those weird writers who don’t like to listen to music while I write, I find it too distracting. However, I like to listen to music before I write because it inspires me. The type of music I like best for that are tunes that remind me of my WIPs. Here are some of my fav…[Read more]

Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic Any Advice for A Soon-To-Be Blogger? in the forum Publishing & Platform 6 years, 10 months ago
@jenwriter17 If your blog is mostly text, WordPress would probably be fine for you (even if you included post graphics, it’d still take a while for the memory to be used up). My blog is image heavy so that’s why it wasn’t right for me. 🙂
