January 16 is the seventh annual Appreciate a Dragon Day. This holiday was begun by Donita K Paul, author of the YA fantasy series, The DragonKeeper Chronicles.
And hey, a lot of my buddies are writers…and a lot of you write fantasy. So I thought it would be fun if we’d celebrate this auspicious together holiday tomorrow. Think about what you can contribute. Perhaps a brief snippet of one of your dragon scenes? A piece of art or jewelry? A salute to a favorite dragonish fantasy author, book, or series?
Here’s a preview–a dragon rock painted for my birthday last year by my daughter Hanna. Join me tomorrow with more dragon fun, and be prepared to drop a link in comments here to your own blogpost so we can enjoy Appreciate a Dragon Day together! No flame wars now, you hear?




I was wondering just how one might go about expressing appreciation for a dragon. Thanks for the ideas. And, Hanna, that’s a gorgeous dragon.
The farm cats like playing soccer with the dragon eggs, unfortunately. No respect.
Looking forward to seeing what you might come up with, Jean
What fun! This has been a great AADD. Thanks for spreading the cheer.
