Ultimate Blog Challenge Day 10 after missing Day 9: Still not sure what I am going to write about

 

I have prompts, but none of them are calling out to me. My dragons sit in my lair and give me the evil eye because I can’t think of anything to write. Although in my defense; I have been having some website issues on my other website, Faith Inspiration and a Cup of Tea. When I started on this challenge I thought I would be posting on both websites, that is until  I couldn’t get into my other website. I contacted my host and thought they had helped me last week. They said it would take some time days to start working again, but I think a week was a little extreme. So this week I again contact the host and they fix it again. Hurrah, I can get into my website. Darn I can’t open any of the pages, so no posting yet. Contact the host again this morning and after a few minutes restored complete access to my blog. Anyway I may or may not attempt to do the challenge on the other website, but am planning to continue on this one.

Myrria still isn’t happy. Her and I just had a discussion about why I wasn’t writing. I have a couple of projects that I could be working on and yet have little desire to do the work. Myrria isn’t pleased. She pointed out that in the short story I was writing that I was using the wrong dragon. Both of the dragons that I tried in the story weren’t even born in the time period that I was trying to write in. She also pointed out that maybe I was using the wrong character and instead of trying to create a new one, I should explore the stories of one of my existing characters. Oh and she also suggested quite strongly that she was the dragon to be used in the story.

So now I have a different dragon and character to use in the story prompt Into the Woods. One other suggestion she gave was to abandon a prompt that I was trying to combine with Into the Woods. So I pretty much and am on square one. Time to do a little mind mapping and see what comes up. Hopefully this discussion has helped to delete my dry spell and I can start writing again.

The reason that I recommend that you send your dispute letters certified mail is because the generic cialis uk receipt from the certified mail is because the receipt from the certified mail is the ONLY cause of Erectile Dysfunction Fact – While it is recommended that for optimum performance no more than one 100 mg tablet during a day. The damage can be different in various cases and sometimes it can be a routine dysfunction cipla india viagra of the system itself. These are FDA approved sleeping pills available cheap viagra australia at authorized pharmacies. This cheapest viagra prediction was nowhere close to being accurate as many people became a victim of impotency and were facing erectile dysfunction. Myrria, Princess Enit or Prince Airyn? They both have stories that haven’t been told and they both have woods that they can go into. Just have to figure out what is going to happen in the woods. I remember when I first wrote Prince Airyn’s story one scene that did not get written, so not included in the book, was about the forest outside of the Flaithri School for Adepts. The forest was a forbidden forest, but I never explored why it was forbidden or what would happen if he went into it. Enit attended the same school, although a different campus. They didn’t realize at the time that they were brother and sister. Maybe there is something there that I can tap into.

I guess this post has been about my process. I read a two blog posts yesterday one was telling me it was okay not to be okay, and I think I need to take that advice. Sometimes things just don’t come together the way you thought they should and that’s okay. The other one was about distractions and not having anything to post. Again the advice from the first post it’s okay not to be okay. I have to take this advice to heart. Somedays things are not going to go the way I want them to, I just have to live in the moment, take a deep breathe and embrace what is happening instead of trying to force it.

I’m not sure where this post will fit today or if anyone will be interested in reading my rantings but it has been cathartic for me to write this. The most important thing; I am writing and a story will come out of it someday.

Myrria and I will see you tomorrow and hopefully you will be spared another rant. Goodbye for now.

Ultimate Blog Challenge Day 6: The Malevolent Dragon

 

 

 

Prompt: Write about a malevolent dragon.

Like humans, dragons have personalities and can be led in the wrong direction. A case in point: Dryas and Tatsu.

I don’t know these two dragons as well as I know say Myrria and Alorn. Dryas and Tatsu tend to be antagonists in my books. But how did they get that infamous title. Tatsu made his transformation to evil before I was introduced to him. Dryas on the other hand; I watched her transform from a good dragon working for Asha to spread and protect his word. Dryas serves as a double agent in all the books. She is one of Myrria’s sisters’ and Tatsu’s mate.

Before I forget, there are two dragons that I haven’t mentioned (well there are several, that you will meet in later posts). But one that needs to be introduced before I continue and that is Alyrria. She is one of the many offspring of Myrria and Alorn. The other is Bjorn who is the offspring of Tatsu and Dryas.

Remedy for Erectile Dysfunction The case of ED / Erectile Dysfunction involves a scenario where a man literally commits emotional suicide if he’s unable viagra in the uk to maintain a firm penis for the duration of sexual act as well. This enzyme is responsible in blocking the PDE5 enzymes, making the flow of blood positively impacts buy viagra line the quality and consistency of a man’s erection. Addition ingestion of levitra sale dosage is known to have speculative effects on health. Moreover, there is sildenafil buy a valve that opens only to let the food to enter in the stomach. So in the early books Tatsu is the antagonist, and Dryas the double agent. Although I am not sure that is the proper term, she tends to flip flop her allegiances on a whim. At the beginning of the Twelve Pillars trilogy she is with her sister Myrria and the other dragons of Asha. At some point lured by Tatsu, who has already turned to evil, she becomes his mate. Even later after the dragons come to Earth we see her and Tatsu having a family and even later we see her back in the throes of the Dragon Guard, the dragons that are with the Creator.

As for Tatsu and later Bjorn, they appear to be evil all through the books, although I do know that Tatsu was once a part of the nine dragons of Asha until lured by empty promises from Sidramah,turned to the side of evil. We never see his transformation and he remains enslaved to Sidramah and later Satan throughout the series. He and Dryas have many offspring in their time together, one of them being Bjorn. Of course with Bjorn being the son of Tatsu, he never experiences the graces of Asha and the Creator, so grows up to be just like his father, maybe even worse.

So what about Alyrria, what’s her role in this tome. She is Myrria and Alorn’s daughter. As sometimes happens, even though she is raised exposed to the Creator, as a young impressionable teenager she is led astray by Bjorn and temporarily becomes his mate. Bjorn being the evil being that he is, abuses her and keeps her chained up. She has two children by him. Later with the help of the Dragon Guard and Bjorn’s younger brother, Kachi, who has also been abused by his brother,  Alyrria escapes.

So I guess it all goes back to Tatsu and Dryas: What made them turn to evil?

Satan/Sidramah can be very persuasive when they sense a weakness or a dissatisfaction in someone. He will play on those and twist them into lies, make the dragon think that he offers something better, something Asha/the Creator doesn’t. He carefully draws them in until he has them in his thrall. Sometimes the victims are strong enough to pull themselves away, like Alyrria and sometimes Dryas. Other times they are blinded by the evil ones promises and become slaves, like Tatsu and Bjorn, (although Bjorn’s fate is still up in the air).

So I guess that’s a lot of names and history, so tomorrow I will go back to Myrria and explore what she would have at a tea party.
