Let There Be Dragons
I have been interested in dragons for many years. Not sure why but probably from stories read as a child. Then I discovered books by Anne McCaffrey and I found myself reading book after book about dragons.
One day I went to a science fiction convention across the river from my house and I began my collection of dragons. This was about 25 years ago. My first five were cloth. Two large ones in red and blue and three smaller ones blue green and gray. At that time, I had three grandchildren and bought one for each. They gladly years later gave them to Gram for her shelf.
Collecting has been fun and my friends and family got into the act. I have oriental dragons, wingless and also flying ones with rings. Glass, metal and plastic dragons in various colors and sizes. There is one very small jade dragon a friend gave me. There’s a dragon cloch and a dragon light. Some have gems they are guarding. I even have dragon pens and book marks. There is also one on a chain that’s a necklace. My latest one is a scholar dragon with glasses and a book.
Eleven years ago, I found Christmas tree ornaments that were dragons and of course I bought one and have continued the practice every year. I shared my love of dragons with Jane Toombs, a fellow writer and a fellow BWLAuthor. She had at least one of the Christmas dragons, I sent her one year. I miss her very much.
So every day when I set out writing I look at my dragons and think I’m so glad there are dragons even if they are only in my imagination.

I love that the grands bring YOU dragons, Janet!
ReplyDeleteI also used to read Anne McCaffrey and fell in love with her dragons and dragon riders. There can never be too many dragons.
ReplyDeleteMcCaffrey also was a favorite. Loved hearing about your collection. I have one piece, a necklace. Think I need more. Keep writing the dragontales.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately no more dragons on the horizon. I'm dealing with gods and goddesses who have two faces these days
