Finding a Mate
The journey that the dragons face in finding a mate, that one compatible mind that can link with yours is almost an impossible task, yet most dragons make the attempt. Male and female, dominant or submissive, they begin to look, to search, to define what they believe the planet would seek for them. Some give…
Read MoreThe Spy Continued.
Kerg is a mature dragon, an experienced fighter, with a serious problem. He wants, needs, craves, justice for his dead friend Joons and his small youngster Denu. The council member has promised to pass judgement on the rule breakers, those raiders from between territories if he spies on Grabon, a long time friend and fighting…
Read MoreA Spy
If you can believe it I am working with a character with a bit of attitude. Kerg is a dragon, he’s been a friend to Grabon in the past, but he’s been pretty distant and upset for awhile. He had a friend living between territories without the protection of a territory dragon who had a…

Grabon and the other dragons aim snot at one another and their human friends in a display of disgust and disagreement in a hard snort.

Read MoreJustice is Not New
The concept of blind justice, applying to everyone equitably, is as old as the idea of democracy where people vote to bestow power and advance ideas and philosophy. MLK was a philosopher and a realist who knew that while the world was not perfect, it could be driven to be better. He was a driving…

With Christmas put away and real winter looking us over with a hungry glare, my car decided to have a few hiccups. Took it in for repairs and over $500 dollars later it is still running rough and hesitating and dying at times. I bought some seafoam additive and put it in the gas tank.…
Read MoreThe List
For most of my life I have been a list maker. The more stressed I am, the more exacting my lists become. Over coffee in the early morning is when I put together my lists of things that need to get done, those I’d like to get done, and if I have time…. So yesterday…
Read MoreOutgoing
People see you in a single role and assume that you are the same in all the corners of your life. Nobody is the same all the time. While nobody would say I am shy, I have my moments of wanting to avoid or dodge attention. The one that comes to mind was when we…
