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.

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),…

It’s…

So, today my cold kicked my butt and I couldn’t make it to the Harry Potter marathon party I’ve been looking forward to for weeks, but since I own all the movies too, I just watched movies 1-5 by myself. The cold medicine knocked me out at times, but all in all it was a…
So today I am still going to focus mainly on finishing the first chapter. But I’ve been debating whether or not to share an excerpt with you lovely readers for a few days now, and I still haven’t come to a satisfying conclusion.
