Dragons and A Brand New Year
Happy New Year, everyone!I hope you all had a lovely holiday break :-)I know I've been a bit absent from the blogosphere this past month - I've had a terrible virus that stole my breath and sense of smell and taste, so Christmas wasn't quite the eating festival I envisioned. However, I finally seem to be on the mend and so, I thought, it might be nice to write a post and say hello.I've had dragons on my mind of late. Part of my virus seems to stem from the fact that I am a watery person, and there were times I longed for flames and heat to dislodge the permanent feeling of being underwater - a pet dragon would have been most helpful, though perhaps left me a bit singed around the edges ;-)Now that I'm feeling better, I'm excited about the new year and the promise it holds. I've been working on a collaborative project with someone which should come to fruition this year, and my vampire WIP has been ripped apart and reassembled, ready for a fresh round of submissions. I'm also going to be exploring some different fields of study, walking another path. I can feel my wings unfurling, ready to roar.Finally, I've been thinking about this post I wrote, almost five years ago, right at the start of my blogging career. A portent? Perhaps. At the very least, it's a cool cloud formation. What do you think?
The other week I saw a dragon in the sky.Outstretched wings, a long curving neck, all gleaming golden beauty.‘Do I need to build a windlance?’ I thought.And then, as I struggled with cold fingers to get my phone unlocked, the dragon drifted and changed, the sky taking him away.But I think, perhaps, I caught him. No black arrow required.Wishing you all a powerful 2020!
