Giant Newspaper Dragon by Himanshu Agrawal

Got to see Newsies tonight, and while it wasn’t my favorite musical (I just adore the movie and didn’t love all the changes), I did really enjoy these lyrics! Stay creative folks. “Write what you know” so they say, all I know is I don’t know what to write or the right way to write…

Finding Dragons – Chapter 1 (Part 3 of 3)

And we’ve reached the conclusion of the first chapter of Finding Dragons.  Oh my.  I just realized that I had “scheduled” this to post at 1:30pm this afternoon, because I had assumed I would have finished the draft and have it ready to upload!  But I was so ill I didn’t even think to change that, so…

Finding Dragons – Chapter 1 (Part 2 of 3)

Well, here is part two of the first chapter of Finding Dragons. I’m posting this chapter in three parts — the first was Monday, so if you haven’t read that yet, you’ll want to check that out first HERE or you’ll probably be lost.  Today (Wednesday) is part two, and I’ll post the third and final piece on Friday.  After…

Silver Dragon Pen Topper by Dans-Magic

I was thinking about writing, so I found this cute dragon pen topper by Dans-Magic that you can purchase at that link for the dragon-loving writer in your life.  (I don’t actually write with a pen, I use a keyboard, but it’s the symbolism that’s important.) Thanks for all the likes on the first part of…

Finding Dragons – Chapter 1 (Part 1 of 3)

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),…

Football dragon by Amaze-ing Hats

So here in the U.S., tonight is the biggest game in American football, the Superbowl.  I live in Minnesota, but I’m originally from Wisconsin, so I’m a diehard Green Bay Packers fan — but they didn’t make it out of the playoffs this year, so sadly, they’re not playing tonight. Ah well. I Googled “football dragon”…

Black Dragon by Ben Wootten

Look at this amazing Pathfinder RPG Black Dragon by professional artist Ben Wootten!  There are more great pieces and more about the artist at that link that I highly recommend you check out. We’re playing Pathfinder today. We haven’t fought a dragon yet, but we’re in the middle of a battle right now where my level…

Ninurta Fighting a Seven-Headed Dragon (Ancient Mesopotamian Art)…

Just look at this amazing artwork from ancient Mesopotamia, of the hero/king/god Ninurta fighting a seven-headed dragon!  The above image is a clearer rendering of the 5000-year-old carved-shell original piece below. I found this on fellow blogger Wayne Ferrebee‘s site ferrebeekeeper: Reflections Concerning Art, Nature, and the Affairs of Humankind (also some gardening anecdotes).  (His blog looks amazing, so I…
