Tossed and turned much of the night last night, as ideas for the follow ups to the October story wouldn't leave me alone. I think I'm going to have to call the first my December story, and worry about the others later.
Of course, I now understand the conflict much better, and have a better idea what the dragon got himself into when he agreed to marry a 9-year-old human girl....That was her idea, BTW, the price for fighting another dragon. I forgot that the other dragon had 12 hatchlings (previously set free by the then-8-year-old girl, but very short in memory, as they feel a need to avenge their parent.) So now the dragon is having to guard himself against attack, and trying to figure out how to be human. (He's never taken human form before, so it's confusing for him.)
( snippet )
I'm having fun, even if I might be stepping all over Chinese folklore. I'll write now and apologize later. ;o)
Plan to work on the rewrite of Shared Dreams on Monday, then the rest of the week on DitD. (Hoping to get to page 200 before I have to switch over to TWQ)
