Believe it or not, it was an editor who put me up to writing this. 😆

@brandon-miller Well, it’s your fault. You’re the one who wrote an article about killing characters. I was just following your advice. *blinks innocently*

@evelyn Thanks; I hope the ending will be the best part yet. 🙂
@scribbles As long as someone has red ink and Edna, they’re well-equipped to handle all of life’s problems. 😜
@cindy I almost feel sorry the story is almost over. 😥😜
@j-a-penrose Plot twists are always good for grabbing readers’ attention. 😜

@morreafirebird No, I’m a rare species who doesn’t read much fantasy. ;P I only came so I could meet the SE staff.

5 Stylistic Mistakes Most Writers Overlook
Writers tend to treat the fine points of writing like chemicals in a science lab. Some jumble style and grammar in an intellectual test tube, uncertain […]-
*applauds* Your explanations are so spunky. I love them! 😀

Thank you. *bows* I never thought of my writing style as spunky, but I like it! 😃😉

I appreciate this article so much. XD

Believe it or not, it was an editor who put me up to writing this. 😆

As an editor myself, I henceforth place my blessing upon this. 😛

This is really helpful! Thanks 🙂

You’re very welcome! Thanks for reading! 😃

Quite good. The idea of Expletives being a problem had never occured to me. Many thanks!

Thank you! I’m glad to be of help to a fellow writer! 😃

This is *deletes the very* helpful!

😅 You’re welcome. 😉

You’re muchly welcome and thank you for your lovely comment! 😊 It’s comments like yours that inspire me to write articles and stories! Thank you!

#5 was especially helpful for me. Expletives always get me! (I think I’ve also heard them called Glue Words.) Thank you for the article, Mariposa!
-
You’re welcome! I used to have trouble with expletives myself. 😉 They still sometimes sneak into my writing. 😅

Sorry for the wait, folks, but Aberdeen was busy helping me come up with battle strategies to conquer some writer’s block I was facing.

@jessi-rae Really? I thought you did great conversing with people. 👍🏻🙂 I think that’s how it is with a lot of us—we feel we’re doing terrible when really we are doing just fine. Like I felt so awkward and nervous but everyone else thought I did fine. 😅 What was your favorite part of RM? Do you think you’ll go next year? ὤ…

@morreafirebird In that case, I may be too frightened to go next year. XD But seeing the SE staff is worth tackling social anxiety. 😜 Did you buy a lot of books while you were there? 🙂
-

@jenwriter17 This may be shocking, but I actually didn’t buy any books. 😅 I don’t read hardly any fantasy (I only went to the book festival so I could meet the SE staff for the first time 😂).

@wonderland7 I like drawing people mostly and Disney fan art. However, for painting, I like scenery (especially tropical landscapes). 🌴🙂
What are the names of your superheroes? What are their superpowers? 😃

Mariposa Aristeo posted a new activity comment 7 years, 12 months ago
@morreafirebird Yes, I felt the same way. I can hardly believe so many people were there! 😮 If I go next year, maybe we’ll have a chance to talk to each other more. 🙂 Did you have a favorite speaker at RM?

@jenwriter17 I hope you can come next year. ❤️ How many books did you end up coming home with? 🙂

@the-fledgling-artist Thank you! No, I don’t believe anyone has ever told me that, but when you have an authorosaurus as an assistant who lives in Alabookma, coming up with names for nonexistent creatures becomes easy. 😜🦖

Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic Help from Worldbuilders and Artists ! (Please) in the forum Art Discussions 7 years, 12 months ago
@the-fledgling-artist Aw, it sounds as adorable as it looks! ❤️ Here are a few other names I came up with: Amethysties, winter womcats (instead of wombats 😜), cappies, snow chirpchillas, and periwinkle poppums. If I think of any more, I’ll let you know. 😊

Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic Where do you read new poetry? in the forum Poetry Discussions 7 years, 12 months ago
@scribbles Other than a certain awesome poet I follow on Instagram called Hazel Stenographer 😉, and Story Embers, I really don’t read poetry anywhere else. 😅

@brandon-miller Excuse my ignorance, but who is Mr. S? 😉
Gabby didn’t answer my question either, but I’m aware I asked a hard question. 😜 Maybe this question will be easier: was there a speaker you *didn’t* like?
-
Mr. S is Daniel Schwabauer, creator of the One Year Adventure Novel curriculum and derailer of my life (in all the coolest ways.)
And no, there wasn’t a speaker I didn’t like. That would have been sad.

@the-fledgling-artist That creature is adorable!!! 😍 Here are a few names that popped into my head: mufflin, icesqueaker, a purple pishma, floffy, and that’s all I can think of for now. 😊 What are the creature’s tendencies?
