Busy Week
Sometimes when things come together, all lines intercept at once. This is a crazy week with more to come. I can’t believe it is only Wednesday. At least dragons are not swarming around my house and as far as I know, none of the basement trolls have ventured upstairs. Has anyone opened their homes to…
Fictional Death
As a world creator who makes the attempt to capture other people’s imagination and help them see their own reality in a clearer, kinder, and more thoughtful way I get caught by writer’s advice. The most recent is the need for death, for death rituals to develop and bind the characters tighter. But the truth…
Imagination
I admire other authors who have well developed imaginations. My own ecxerience with creative thinking is that it is a muscle and like all muscles, the more you work it the stronger it gets. It is true of logical thinking, objective reasoning, and imaginative thinking and creativity. I try to set aside time for it…
Free Time
I was gifted with a bit of free time today so I took advantage and went exploring in my library pulling out books and reading well loved passages from my favorite authors. It warms my heart and fills my cup with inspiration. So many wonderful words… I have recently been looking at word origins and…
Work Hard; Hard Work
The amount of work that can be accomplished on NewEarth by people who combine power and muscle is amazing. Here are a few factors to consider before allowing envy to grab hold. In short, no need for envy, they make use of the planet’s contribution and combine it with their own skills and talents to…
Looking
I have a Kindle Fire that has a number of books that I do not have in print version. But I do not use it regularly. To that end it gets tucked away, out of the way. Today I was reading and thought of a story that was on the Kindle. I started looking. Five…
The Rules
On NewEarth, there is a set of rules known to all the dragons of the continent. Those rules come first from the planet and then are added to from the council of twelve of the oldest and wisest dragons. How are the council dragons chosen? They are not elected, they are invited to fill a…
Funny 2
I am old. I freely admit I went through college, my under graduate degree, using an electric typewriter, or paying someone to type my papers after I wrote them by hand. I grew up without a dishwasher or microwave. So I lack some of the connectedness that some younger people have. Technology whirls around me…
Bookstores
Like most writers I love books, I read books, lots of books, all kinds of books. To be clear I buy books. Old books, used books, new books, I get books in lots of places. Today I stopped by a half price book store. Yes some of the books are new, some are used, some…
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…
The 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…
A 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…
