Writing Group: Epic Poetry

This past week’s prompt was Epic Poetry. I will preface this by saying: no, we did not have time to write a full Epic. It was more looking at the elements: magic, a hero, a vast setting, etc. I did not start a new piece for this prompt; instead I worked on a poem I

Series Review: Dragon Scales

Dragons, just dragons and magic and bonds and a bit of romance. It does not matter how old I get I’m still drawn to tales with dragons. I defiantly picked up the first book based on the cover. Also duologys are great because you get more of the story but it’s not as overwhelming as

Writing Group: Dragon Distribution System

The prompt for this story is what would happen if mythical creatures were real in this day and age. What would people do? How would the creatures act? Creatures such dragons, mermaids, giants, unicorns, and so on. The stories produced by this prompt were fantastic. My story is based off what is jokingly called the
