Been a lazy Saturday, so here – enjoy a picture I saved back in 2009 called Dragon Elixer, submitted by Todd1000 for a contest on Worth1000.com, a neat site to browse when you’re bored. Todd’s description: A very tricky potion. Get it right and the drinker temporarily gains super human strength, courage and near invulnerability….get it wrong and…
Marc Gunn, also known as the Celtfather, is a popular Celtic Geek musician and podcaster beloved by fans all over the world. But did you know that this happy-go-lucky autoharpist also has a dark side? I recently chatted with Marc about his upcoming CD, Dragons vs. Pirates, and I discovered some nuggets that could curl…
Today’s Blogging 101 Day 5 email challenge was all about experimenting with new themes and layouts for your blog, “even if you’re happy with the one your first chose.” Well, the theme I use, called the Expound Theme, is certainly not the first one I chose — I spent hours trying out dozens of layouts, colors,…
So, it’s Day 4 of Blogging 101, and to be honest, the assignment is asking for a longer post than I feel I can commit to, after the wonderful progress I made last night on the first chapter of Finding Dragons. Because I only have four days until my self-imposed deadline and I really want to…
So today’s Blogging 101 Day 3 assignment is to follow five new tags in the WordPress Reader, and also five new blogs. When I first started this blogging adventure, I only glanced at the Reader occasionally, thinking I was “too busy” to read other people’s stuff while I tried to write a post a day…
“Take control of your title and tagline,” the assignment for today says. Funny enough, I actually changed the tagline slightly just yesterday, while I was watching my number of page visits and views climb through the roof. My “Why Writing Dragons” post was by far my most viewed of all (two weeks) time, so thank…
Hello! And thank you for visiting my site. My name is Jamie Lyn Weigt — pronounced “White,” like the color — and I’m a writer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I’ve written articles, short stories, and longer fiction, but this blog is dedicated to the fantasy YA novel trilogy I’m currently working on. I’m calling the first book in…
So today is the day I start the WordPress “Blogging 101” class on how to become successful at this whole blogging thing. I’m looking forward to learning new tricks and techniques to beef up this blog, and I’m going to do each assignment post as a writing exercise as the course suggests. Today they’re all…
So last night, I introduced a random writing exercise I found in one of my writing books. To reiterate: The S+7 Exercise: Take a line from any text, and begin to copy it. Every time you come to a noun, you look up that noun in a dictionary, then count seven words forward in the…
Once again, I’ve procrastinated writing anything for the blog today, but to be fair, it is a super-long vacation weekend, and I know things will get back on a more regular schedule come Monday. However, I am still committed to one post a day, so here I am. I’ve been flipping through the many books…
