Random Writing Friday – Forever Home

As you can see by my new schedule, today is a Random Writing Friday, where I post a finished work I’ve written that may or may not have anything to do with Finding Dragons.  These will be the only days I don’t always use a dragon picture for my featured image. Today’s work is a short story…

Here be dragons…

My post from yesterday had me thinking about maps, and a quick Google of “dragon maps” gave me some neat results worth further digging into, but also reminded me that the phrase “Here be dragons” is thought to have been used on early maps to describe unknown or uncharted territory. I’ve always thought the phrase was…

A new roadmap for my blogging adventure…

Hello again, and thanks as always for reading my blog!  As I’ve been hinting lately, now that I’ve been at this for about a month, and I’ve gotten some great ideas from Blogging 101, and from reading other blogs and seeing their different structures, it’s time to announce some changes to my format here on Writing…

Today’s short post is about a fabulous picture book I recently found called The Moon Dragons, by Dyan Sheldon, illustrated by Gary Blythe.

Alien Dragon for X-Files premier…

Did anyone else catch the premier of the X-Files tonight on Fox? Overall, I’m not sure what to think yet… I’d like to rewatch the episode, and then see what tomorrow’s second part is like before I make any judgements. I was a big fan of the original series, but time is great at blurring…

Sick day spent with Harry Potter…

So, today my cold kicked my butt and I couldn’t make it to the Harry Potter marathon party I’ve been looking forward to for weeks, but since I own all the movies too, I just watched movies 1-5 by myself. The cold medicine knocked me out at times, but all in all it was a…

Fixing my copyright notice…

Quick editor’s note from October 2017:  The info in this post is no longer current, as I changed up my copyright notice yet again months later, but I hate to delete things, especially my old and just-figuring-things-out work. I’m feeling a little better today, thank goodness, but I am a little hopped up on cold…

Under the weather…

Whelp, sadly, I couldn’t keep the flu bug at bay. No post today, but I did manage to find this adorable dragon by Vincent Ballard. See more of his work at the link.
