Daenerys and Drogon by Michał Rychtyk

Happy Game of Thrones Sunday everyone!  This is a great piece called Daenerys and Drogon by Polish deviantartist Michał Rychtyk, posting as Afternoon63.  I usually prefer dragons with four legs and wings, instead of this wyvern-type with two back legs and his wings on his forelimbs, but this guy doesn’t look like he has any trouble getting…

Neeka’s Story: Discover Challenge – Apologies (and a story recap!)

I switched up my days for posting this because yesterday the Writing Thoughts post just had to be written and wouldn’t leave me alone, so I hope you forgive me.  This week’s Discover Challenge theme is, appropriately, Apology: Apologies — giving them, receiving them, accepting them, withholding them — are powerful ….

Neeka’s Story: Discover Challenge – Chance Encounters

I used to call this the Tuesday Discover Challenge… and since I moved the post to Wednesday, I guess I could have renamed it.  But the whole point of doing this writing challenge every week is to move my new cyberpunk story forward, to get Neeka’s Story on to the page, so I thought I’d…
