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…
It’s time for a Writing Prompt post according to my posting schedule, which I’ve been trying to follow… for the most part, anyway. I’ve been busy, and writing hasn’t been going well, and I know I’m procrastinating — but I haven’t missed a daily dragon post yet, so I call that a win at least. To…
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…
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…
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…
And we’ve reached the conclusion of the first chapter of Finding Dragons. Oh my. I just realized that I had “scheduled” this to post at 1:30pm this afternoon, because I had assumed I would have finished the draft and have it ready to upload! But I was so ill I didn’t even think to change that, so…
Well, here is part two of the first chapter of Finding Dragons. 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…
I was thinking about writing, so I found this cute dragon pen topper by Dans-Magic that you can purchase at that link for the dragon-loving writer in your life. (I don’t actually write with a pen, I use a keyboard, but it’s the symbolism that’s important.) Thanks for all the likes on the first part of…
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),…
So this is the day I’m supposed to tell you, “Oh, hey, I finished Chapter 4 right on time and I’m moving on to Chapter 5! Isn’t that great?” Well, sadly, that’s not what I’m reporting. However, I do have two exciting pieces of news to report instead which, I hope, can make up for…
