Hey folks, welcome to a Random Writing Friday, the last Friday of the month where I post a finished piece from my writing archives instead of a Finding Dragons WIP (or more recently, Neeka WIP) piece. Today I’m sharing an op-ed article I wrote last year that I’ve updated to reflect recent events. I was limited to 750 words…
Go slowly. Love your story. It will wait for you. ~ Allan G. Hunter Happy Wednesday, everyone! This bit of writerly wisdom comes from the blog of fellow writer Rosanna at Writing on the Pages of Life. I found her site through last week’s Discover Challenge — she submitted a wonderful piece called “Zen and the Art…
Today’s Discover Challenge is Snapshots, and I’ll let the idea speak for itself… In a guest post on Jenna Schwartz’s blog, writer Andrea Jarrell told a powerful personal story about coming into her voice. … Rather than summarizing how she felt at a particular age or telling us about her year generally, she narrows the focus of each…
“Write what you would love to read. Finish what you begin to write. Your voice is uniquely yours and we are all waiting to hear it.” ~ Jody Lynn Nye This is a wonderful bit of inspiration from Jody Lynn Nye, the author of one of my favorite books growing up — The Dragonlover’s Guide…
Whoo boy. The second installment of the WordPress Discover Challenge has dropped, and it’s a doozy, or at least, it hits me pretty hard. The challenge topic is “Witness,” and I won’t be reading today’s inspiration post, but I certainly invite you to read what is described as: a guest post by Elizabeth Marro over at…
Greetings everyone! Check out this nifty set of bookend dragons I found, initially through a post on the blog Hobbit Feet, and for sale at the website design Toscano. I had planned to do a WIP post on Saturday but I got caught up in writing, which didn’t go quite as smoothly as I’d hoped,…
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 took forever for The Daily Post to update their Discover Challenge page and give us the first weekly challenge, but now that they have, it’s pretty exciting! Today’s is called Blogging the Senses, with a short prompt post to read by Cheri Lucas Rowlands, who “recently interviewed Erik Kwakkel, a book historian in Leiden, Netherlands,…
Today I found an idea that really intrigued me, so I went looking for an “intrigued” dragon picture and came across this absolutely stunning painting by Chinese freelance concept artist Xiaodi Jin. I was only able to share a small part in the Featured Image, so be sure to click into the post to see the entire…
Wow. That is one crazy Steampunk Dragon by Turkish deviantartist kerembeyit. The detail on it is amazing! I had to share it, even though in my search tonight I was looking for more of a cyberpunk versus steampunk look. That’s because I got some pretty good advice tonight from some fellow writers about what to do…
