Youngsters
I remember the day I realized I was going to be writing about baby dragons as well as human youngsters. I was really excited and started building developmental charts on how they matured and age approximations of when they changed and aquiered skills. Being a teacher in real life I think influenced my view, but it was exciting.
Later I added other details, but the neuro development of dragons was pretty fascinating, as was the physiological changes as they matured. If you haven’t gotten to any of that, wait for it. Starseth and Redseth are only the first of many youngsters you will get to know and watch mature.
The joy in writing about the dragons of NewEarth is that there are no taboos about mentioning their bodies, maturity stages, or changes. When we get into humans everything is mentioned more subtly, because we are human and nobody wants to read the details of puberty. The humans on NewEarth are definitely affected by the dragon attitudes about their bodies, but some modesty remains.
In any case, writing about dragon and human youngsters is a blast, hopefully it will be equally fascinating reading. Let me know…
