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…
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.…
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…
My goodness, there is no shortage of talented artists out there… this is an amazing Dragon by an Albanian deviantartist named Edli, and after finding it I browsed through more of his gallery and was just blown away. You should certainly go check out his work at the link, but I just had to share…
Short on time, I found this really neat Chinese dragon, but I can’t find the original artist. 😦 (Oh… apparently I liked yesterday’s dragon so much, I found another one just like it! Oops.) I hope to have some time to research the artist tomorrow, but for now, enjoy, and stay creative! Image credit (*)…
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,…
And here we are at Wednesday, so according to my big new plan (that I’m following about… 85% of the time, I’d say, so that’s good) it’s time for a Writing Craft post. I realized the other day that I hadn’t read any fiction in a really long time. I couldn’t remember the last novel…
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…
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…
Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans… I really wanted to finish chapter four by the end of this week, but it’s just not going to happen. But I am happy about what I’ve written so far this week on that promt about the bonfire ritual, and I plan to keep…
