I’ve decided to post the first draft of the first chapter of my work-in-progress novel, Finding Dragons, because it’s a good introduction to my world and my characters, and if I’m going to continue to post vignettes from my world (like the bonfire ritual writing prompt story that I plan to continue in a future post),…
