Mariposa Aristeo

@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?

@mariposa I think it gets bigger every year XD
Gosh, it’s so hard to choose! I loved Mary Weber, Nadine Brandes, and Tosca Lee the most. It’s impossible to decide between those three!

@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? 🙂

@mariposa I only bought three, which is shocking XD But I did bring half a dozen to get signed and then won some in the raffle. Did you get any?

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

I see 😉 It must have been amazing to finally meet them in person!

@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? &#x1f64…

@mariposa Thanks! You’re probably right about people thinking they’re doing terrible when they’re really doing just fine. (And I think you did fine too. 🙂 You were quiet, sure, but I’m also quiet when I don’t know people very well or when I don’t have any ideas as to what to say.) My favorite part of RM was getting to meet a couple of my favorite…[Read more]

@jessi-rae Wow, that sounds fun. Where are you going overseas? 🙂

I love the grammar Gnatsee idea, but I’m not sure how to work that in there with the way the story is going. Now the milking puppy idea, that could work. *rubs chin* So much epicness to pack into one story. 😅

@mariposa We’re planning to go to Russia to finally meet in person some really cool family members. We’ve been talking over video chat the last couple months, but we really want to meet in person!

Yeah, I’m not sure how it would work either… Is Dan technically a Gnatsee or no?

Lol. Every part you’ve written thus far has been epic, and if…[Read more]

@jessi-Rae Wow! You have relatives in Russia? Cool! I’ve never been outside of the US (planes and boats terrify me 😅). Have you ever visited another country before?

No, Dan is just a crazy villain who wants to start his own empire. 😜

Yes! They’re so fun! I really liked the one Dragon Snapper wrote for KP (The Legend of King Daeus). &#x…

@mariposa Yep! It is pretty cool… And no, I’ve never been out of the U.S. Russia will be the first country I’ll have ever visited! (I know I don’t like heights, but hopefully the plane won’t be too terrifying of an experience!)

Lol. Dan sounds like a cool villain! XD

I’ll have to read that! I think I read the first couple segments, but then I…[Read more]
