Mariposa Aristeo

@Ethryndal ………what she said…
Really though, @mariposa covered pretty much everything that comes to mind for me—castles, damsels in distress, princes…the usual. 🙂 Out of curiosity, why do you ask? Are you writing a fairytale??

@Mariposa Oh, good grief. Cocoa. Everything else is an abomination and should not be tolerated by respectable human beings. *firm nod*

Another one by Snapper? What?

Well, I couldn’t resist. You all are a bad influence on someone who should be writing instead of spending an hour on these things.

This one is for the last book of the trilogy, the problem child, but I finally found a plot for it!!!!
So here it is.

This one is for Tallore too, but it defines him a bit more. @mariposa @shannon @emily @kate-flournoy @catwing @ingridrd @daughteroftheking @jessi-rae

And don’t forget that’s he’s Dyemon’s brother.

@ingridrd Thanks! Yeah, Caroline loves ladybugs. It will probably become a sort of code word between her and her friends. @mariposa I never thought about it before, but my story is a little reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast. 😀 @Shannon Yessss. Interesting is the word for it. XD

@shannon Yay! *fistpump* I love her too. 😀
@jessi-rae Indeed. *ponders thoughtfully* Very intriguing. 😛
@mariposa ikr? 😀 She absolutely loves color and flowers and everything pretty.
@ingridrd Thanks!
@that_writer_Girl_99 Excellent question…I’ll have to consider giving it a significance. You’ve got my gears turning now. 😀

@mariposa So glad you asked! 😀
It’s a Utopian Science Fiction, the setting is Earth in the 22nd century.

@Emma-Flournoy @Mariposa Thanks! And yess, I picked the name Rosso because of her hair. 😛

@Emily I’m unnecessarily hard on myself and use photoshop. 😛
@Shannon thank you! You hadn’t mentioned that, but… I can put you on the list, if you like. 🙂 And no, I love that movie. One of the most quotable movies of all time. 😛
@Mariposa mmm… more like a lonely villain. 😉 Thank you though. 😀

@Daeus it’s… um… for the eleventh book.

@emily-d I use thesaurus.com regularly. I also use music — not for inspiration, but songs that I’ve already heard a lot and am familiar with. It helps to block out background noise/talking, but since I’ve already heard them a million times, I can focus on my writing instead of the dynamics of the music.

ALSO @emily-d @mariposa I grew up…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Hey! WOW that sounds totally epic! I might check it out. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂

Also, have any of you used the writing software by K. M. Weiland? She’s based it off her Outlining Your Novel Workbook… it looks sooooooooooo good. There’s a video on this page:…[Read more]

. @reaganramm Good stuff…I keep thinking that I have to go and check Scrivener out as so many people have recommended it. Must do that! 😄
@mariposa. Yes, thank you I will check the Mandisa song out. And I really like all of those songs too! 😆@joy. Great! Especially Youtube: epic free music!!! 😜 And I love medieval music too, though I’ve…[Read more]

@mariposa
Yeah, the title is actually Substitute which is the meaning of Jaclyn’s name. 🙂

Thanks for the welcome, everyone! Sorry if this doesn’t tag those of you who asked me questions. I’m still learning the ropes of forum land….

@mariposa, @aratrea – My favorite books include Lynn Austin books, The Baker Family Adventures by C.R. Hedgcock, Millie Keith series by Martha Finley, This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti, and The…[Read more]

@mariposa *pops in* Did I hear someone mention the Andy Griffith Show?

@daughteroftheking and @mariposa
Thanks, guys! 🙂

@mariposa Actually, I don’t think I should give Raruus any bullets at all…. (And yes, I love the Andy Griffith show!) 😀

@mariposa I just read a book where the country was named Aberdeen! Even spelled the same way!!!!

@dragon-snapper Oo, money! (first thing I noticed)
@mariposa *hugs you for a brilliant Andy Griffith Show reference*
@kate-flournoy *unexpected and unnerving laugh*
