Isn’t [a writer] knitting together scraps of dreams? She hunts down the most vivid details and links them in sequences that will let a reader see, smell, and hear a world that seems complete in itself; she builds a stage set and painstakingly hides all the struts and wires and nail holes, then stands back…
Well, it’s the end of the month and time once again for a Random Writing, a chance for me to post something that’s unrelated to dragons or either of my WIPs, just a piece of my own writing from the past that I want to share with the world. And today I’m going to share a really personal…
This image of the constellations Draco and Ursa Minor comes from the Old Book Art Image Gallery, and specifically from the book Urania’s Mirror, or A View of the Heavens; Consisting of Thirty-Two Cards on Which are Represented all the Constellations Visible in Great Britain; on a Plan Perfectly Original, Designed by a Lady. Sidney Hall, 1825, by…
Since I didn’t get it posted last night, today I’ve got another awesome image to celebrate the epic Season 6 finale of Game of Thrones. This is Visenya on her dragon Vhagar by U.K. professional artist John McCambridge. This isn’t an image of anyone alive in the current series, but a famous Targaryen from days of old…
Check out this adorable little sculpture called Chasing Rainbows by American professional artist Christina Yen, posting as The-SixthLeafClover.

Thanks so much for coming along on my…
More rainbow dragons for Pride Weekend! I finally get to share some art by the really talented American professional artist Katy Lipscomb, posting as Lucky978.

We’ve finally arrived at the start of my official Pride weekend! So I’m going to share rainbow dragons from today until Sunday to celebrate. While June is LGBTQIA+ Pride Month all month long, the Minneapolis festivities really swing into action this weekend, and I’m excited to check out the event space at Loring Park and…
I did get some writing done tonight, yay! But not enough to post, boo. I’ve also been distracted by our new trio of adorable calico kittens (and our other cats too of course), so I found this cute picture for tonight, called Happy Year of the Dragon by American deviantartist and crafter Micha, posting as…
In honor of the first full day of summer (here in the Northern hemisphere, at least), I thought I’d share another great illustration by famed artist Todd Lockwood, from his debut novel, The Summer Dragon. I read and loved the book, as did my husband, and I wish I had more time to write a…
