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…
I’m a little pressed for time tonight as I try to keep up with the AtoZ posts that are steadily creeping up on me, so I’ll leave you with this adorable baby dragon and in the capable hands of the great Ira Glass, public radio broadcaster and producer, the host of the popular PRI program…
“If there is a special Hell for writers it would be in the forced contemplation of their own works.” — John Dos Passos Hi everyone, thanks for checking in. I hope you had a good Wednesday (or are having a good whatever day it is for you now). I’ve been in a bit of a…
“Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” ― E.L. Doctorow I came across this quote today, and thought it quite aptly described what I’m going through with this Neeka story that’s become my Tuesday obsession.…
Oh my goodness! I totally dropped the ball on revealing my theme for the Blogging from A to Z April 2016 Challenge that I signed up for! Many thanks to Ryan over at leet_geek for the reminder! So, it might not be hard to guess, but for the A to Z Challenge, I’ll be posting a…

Today’s writing quote comes from the always amazing J.K. Rowling: “The idea of just wandering off to a cafe with a notebook and writing and seeing where that takes me for awhile is just bliss.” She said this in an interview she gave just a few days after the release of the final Harry Potter…
It’s nearly the end of Wednesday, the day I’m supposed to post some Writing Craft and Wisdom, but my own writing has just been so stuck lately that I had no idea what to even say. That’s a great quote from David Sedaris, a favorite of mine, but really, I feel like if I could…
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…
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…
