Monday Motivation: Dragons!
Puppies, kittens, and bunnies are all motivating in their own way, with cuddles and soft fur, but let me just propose this: dragons. Dragons are one of the more popular mythological creatures, it's true, yet we don't always appreciate their inspirational and motivational magic. searching for source... Take the above draconic artwork, for example. The dragon is large, dark, mysterious, ominous, perhaps even threatening. But consider this: a dragon leaving its cave in the morning, full of sleepiness and yawns. It trudges about the small clearing outside its cave, yawns and sits for a moment, and then trudges back to the cave and back to bed. Monday mornings are hard, even for dragons. (c) TSRodriguez, DeviantArt The copper dragon above, whose hoard is clearly the most wonderful books, looks somewhat ferocious, malevolent, or at least growly. However, it's entirely possible that this dragon woke up early, hasn't had his coffee yet, and realized that hi

Daily Writing Blurb
Prompt: Late one night you see a man jump off the bridge. You run to where he jumped only to find a handwritten book entitled "The Lessons We Should Learn From Dead Men." You open the book to the first page. When the fog rolls in across the bay, and you can hardly see your hand in front of your face, the saddened and desperate multiply in the darkness. The bridge, scarlet arches of golden opportunity, is there to welcome those who have shut the doors to any other opportunity. Once there, the air is suffocatingly fresh and the only reminder of the ocean below is the crashing of the waves. You can stand there all night, surrounded by fog and dark thoughts, as I once did, and you can even gaze around in the faint hope that someone will see you, ask you what you're doing, try to stop you. But, rather than spotting a guardian angel, I saw only another man, a man whose face resembled my own in its desperation and hopelessness. Perhaps that is why I hesitated my own destruct

She could hear the music from the library; she probably shouldn't be there during the party. But the dancing had grown dull and her sister mentioned a library of enormous variety, having allegedly visited herself. The door swung open and she dropped the book with a jolt.

Prompt: A pair of twins are born minutes apart on both sides of midnight. the twin of yesterday is similar to the twin of tomorrow in all aspects except one... Her eyes were light - blue as the sky on a bright summer morn - and her eyes were dark as a night without a moon. Anyone who didn't know them well would get them confused, but one glance from someone familiar would tell them exactly whose eyes they had met. The dark was calming, cool and mysterious, but the light burned with an intense heat only certain souls could stand. Find this blurb on Pinterest !

Prompt: The fence was ten feet high, smooth as glass and black as tar. We spent every lunchtime pressed against it, straining to hear through the cracks. Some claimed they could hear the voices, murmuring, whispering, muttering. Some claimed they could make out the words: "Doom is near! Danger! Death!" But they were the troublemakers, the sensationalists, the attention-seekers, and the wannabes. If they could truly hear the words, they wouldn't be so inclined to repeat them.

Daily Writing Blurb (+ Friday Writing Exercise!)
As sort of a combination prompt and Friday Writing Exercise, today's Daily Writing Blurb actually comes with multiple prompts. A deep part of world building is the culture and history of a civilization. A big part of civilization is the mythology (whether it's believed to be truth or legend is up to you). Write a myth to explain: ... why the sun rises and sets. ... why leaves change color. ... why the sky is blue. ... why we are born and why we die. ... why the grass is green. ... where human beings come from. ... why birds fly and fish swim. ... thunder. ... lightning. ... why tsunami happen. ... why it snows. ... why flowers lose their leaves. ... why snakes have no legs. ... where we go when we die. ... why volcanoes erupt. ... why the moon changes shape. ... how bees got their stings. ... why droughts happen. ... why people are different colours. ... the tides.

She didn't have it when they killed her by the river. And when they waded in, stepping carefully, they didn't find their prize. They were oblivious guardsmen who hadn't the thought that perhaps, just perhaps, the sparkling orb might float lightly on the surface. With that perhaps come true, it came upon a particularly fine length of shore, with long reeds and lilies. Find this blurb on Pinterest ! Photo: (c) Caleb Tenenbaum.
