Book Club Dragon by Amy Brown

Here’s another dragon with a book, a beautiful piece of art called Book Club by the very talented Amy Brown.  I’ll share a few more of her pieces below, but you should certainly check out her website, Amy Brown Fantasy Art, where you can buy prints and all sorts of gear adorned with her lovely designs.…

Wednesday Writing Craft: Why we love fantasy…

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…

Deadpool Dragon by How Many Dragons?

My husband and I are off to see the Deadpool movie tonight, so I thought this little guy by my favorite artist Lindy at How Many Dragons? was a great pick for tonight. Crude humor isn’t really my cup of tea, but I’ve heard good things, so I’m heading in with an open mind. Stay creative!…

Draigoch by gorrem

Too busy for a post tonight, but here’s a cool dragon. I went looking for pictures of Smaug (a close runner up for last night’s post), but I found this art for another Lord of the Rings dragon, Draigoch by deviantartist gorrem. I really like the body form of this guy, although he’s got a…

Finding Dragons – Chapter 1 (Part 3 of 3)

Finding Dragons – Chapter 1 (Part 2 of 3)

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…

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),…
