Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! Check out this Irish Drinking Dragon by artist Bruce Bolinger. I don’t even drink beer, but I came across this piece on a marketplace website called ComicArtFans.com and couldn’t resist. I’m planning a fun evening out on the town with my better half to celebrate tonight; we’ll hit at least a couple Irish bars…
Whoo boy. The second installment of the WordPress Discover Challenge has dropped, and it’s a doozy, or at least, it hits me pretty hard. The challenge topic is “Witness,” and I won’t be reading today’s inspiration post, but I certainly invite you to read what is described as: a guest post by Elizabeth Marro over at…
Greetings everyone! Check out this nifty set of bookend dragons I found, initially through a post on the blog Hobbit Feet, and for sale at the website design Toscano. I had planned to do a WIP post on Saturday but I got caught up in writing, which didn’t go quite as smoothly as I’d hoped,…
It took forever for The Daily Post to update their Discover Challenge page and give us the first weekly challenge, but now that they have, it’s pretty exciting! Today’s is called Blogging the Senses, with a short prompt post to read by Cheri Lucas Rowlands, who “recently interviewed Erik Kwakkel, a book historian in Leiden, Netherlands,…
Today I found an idea that really intrigued me, so I went looking for an “intrigued” dragon picture and came across this absolutely stunning painting by Chinese freelance concept artist Xiaodi Jin. I was only able to share a small part in the Featured Image, so be sure to click into the post to see the entire…
Wow. That is one crazy Steampunk Dragon by Turkish deviantartist kerembeyit. The detail on it is amazing! I had to share it, even though in my search tonight I was looking for more of a cyberpunk versus steampunk look. That’s because I got some pretty good advice tonight from some fellow writers about what to do…
Today is the last Friday of the month, and that means it’s time for a Random Writing — something I’ve found in my archives of completed works that I’d like to share, that may or may not have anything to do with Finding Dragons. I’ve chosen an essay I’m particularly proud of from 2012 about a book I…
Today I want to share a great piece I read about why we read and write fantasy that really struck a chord with me. I admit, I’ve often felt my own story isn’t “fantastical” enough on this first pass through, because I’m also trying to portray real cultures (the hunter-gatherers, the river culture, the City-State, etc.), but…
So today I went looking for a famous, named dragon, and I found this amazing fanart of Dany and Drogon from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire by deviantartist nell-fallcard. I kinda want to scream like Drogon right about now too, so it’s fitting. I’ve been obsessing over names the last few days,…
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),…
