  "Name That Dragon!" (Nomenclature in Imagined Worlds)

  I wrote this a long time ago, posted it (under a pen name) on some writers' web site that doesn't even exist anymore... and then today, something reminded me, which is why I'm sharing it with you now.
   
  When naming your characters, take care. ...

    Danielle Ross Hi.
    My name is Danielle, but I use the pseudonym T. S. Rider on all my art and stories that I write. I am an avid reader since the summer before third grade. I remember, as a kid I was only allowed 10 books on my child's library card, but my mother was...  moreHi.

I remember, as a kid I was only allowed 10 books on my child's library card, but my mother was allowed as many as she wanted on her adult library card. So I'd get my 10, and then she'd check out the next 15 with her one or two books for me. XD
    
    I write mainly epic style fantasy stores, but have a few mysteries, urban fantasies, and sci-fi stories. I am currently working on getting a short dark fantasy novella sel-pubbed, and am trying to raise funds to that end. Donations are accepted here: https://www.gofundme.com/publishing-funds, and here: https://www.patreon.com/TSRider.
    
    I also do many crafting and costuming activities, and do do custom orders for many of the crafts that I do. Everything that I make can be seen at ww.handmadewands.com. I have an etsy shop where I sell wands and wand accessories that I make. My etsy shop is here: ...    less

Paul just finished his latest sci-fi novel, titled The Sleeping and the Dead. Next week, the manuscript goes to the editor (*waves*) for a round of copyediting, and as soon as that's done, WE NEED BETA READERS. :-) If you're interested, please comment here or send me a private message.

    Danielle Ross I may be in the middle of revising a novel, but I'm still participating in NaNo. I'm the ML after all, I kinda have to. XD

    Lucinda Moebius I don't always have time to write every day and when I do write it's usually in short bursts of less than 500 words at a time.
    I don't want the pressure of a word count. it cuts in to my creativity.

  Cover Art Concepts

  These are a few of the coverart concepts I've come up with for some of my stories. Not all images are owned by me, so I can't actually use them, but I like to play with making them. Some of them are my own artwork, and I could use them if I wanted to. ...  moreThese are a few of the coverart concepts I've come up with for some of my stories.
