Ah, Tuesday, here we are again… Today’s Discover Challenge is all about Risk, and publishing something that you’re maybe “not 110% comfortable with.” The prompt is inspired by a recent interview with Professor Tressie McMillan Cottom, a successful contributing writer for the Atlantic that had this to say when asked “why she continues blogging despite having many other avenues for…
We’ve reached the halfway point in the A to Z Challenge! Today we have: N is for Norbert, the Norwegian Ridgeback Yay for more Harry Potter geekiness!

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…
Identity is the theme for today’s Discover Challenge, and I think it’s a great prompt, falling neatly into line with the rest of the challenges that have been pushing this cyberstory about Neeka forward. The prompt says, in part: Consider this bit from an older post from author Alexander Chee on being “Asian American”: I…

The fourth day of the A to Z Challenge! Today we have: D is for DRAGON! We’ve arrived at the day that epitomizes this blog! And I even found the perfect art. This D is for Dragon picture comes from Kory Bingaman’s old blog, where he posted an original Bestiary A to Z series back in 2006. Now he…
Welcome to the first day of the A to Z Challenge! Today we have: A is for Ancient Snake-Dragon I thought I would start off my daily A to Z posts with a very ancient dragon image, the Snake-Dragon symbol of the god Marduk.

“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.…
