In a very real way, one writes a story to find out what happens in it. Before it is written it sits in the mind like a piece of overheard gossip or a bit of intriguing tattle. The story process is like taking up such a piece of gossip, hunting down the people actually involved,…
Only a few days left in the A to Z Challenge! Today we have: W is for White Dragon Hatchling This is a wonderful digital painting called White Dragon Hatchling, courtesy of the multi-talented German deviantartist dashase. I love the detail in the scales and even in the crystals surrounding this little cutie! But today we don’t just get…
Moving right along in the A to Z Challenge! Today we have: V is for Vegetarian Dragon A goofy dragon to counteract yesterday’s terrifying one. This is Herb, the Vegetarian Dragon, in a children’s picture book illustrated by Debbie Harter, published by Barefoot Books in hardcover in 1999, and in paperback in 2007. The story of…
Starting out week four with a shriek in the A to Z Challenge! Today we have: U is for Underworld Dragon Happy Monday everyone! This is the last week of the AtoZ Challenge, and finding a “U” dragon wasn’t easy, but when I saw this terrifying Underworld Dragon by professional artist Michael Clarke, also known as SpiralMagus,…
Game of Thrones is back tonight! So here is an adorable picture of the dragons Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion called Sleepy Dragons by the Australian deviantartist vasssel.

The third week is finished of the A to Z Challenge! Today we have: T is for Temple Guard Dragon Here we have the very serpentine and seahorse-like Temple Guard dragon by German deviantartist CHAess. Beautiful, despite the rows of pointy teeth this dragon seems to have! The letter T has been a bit of a pain…
Next up in the A to Z Challenge! Today we have: S is for Spring Dragon In honor of spring finally springing here in Minnesota, and because we could all use something bright on this day after the loss of musical legend Prince,* today we have the Spring Dragon from DragonVale. If anyone else has ever gotten…
Onward for the A to Z Challenge! Today we have: R is for Rainbow Dragon So, this is the Rainbow Dragon by American deviantartist Hannah Swedin, aka DragonsPainter. Now, I know what you’re thinking — this might look like a Night Fury from How to Train Your Dragon to the casual observer. But the artist assures us in…
To write something you have to risk making a fool of yourself. ~ Anne Rice Staying with the “risk” theme of the week, I thought this quote was especially fitting and good advice for everyone to remember. Just look at the stack of manuscript pages beside this Dragon Writer‘s typewriter. Wouldn’t that be a nice thing…
Continuing on in the A to Z Challenge! Today we have: Q is for Quiet Dragon Here we have another of my favorite artists, Nico Niemi, with her painting Quiet Dragon. I really like this little guy’s face, and the play of red and blue overall. He does look like he’s just sitting there maybe dozing, like…
