Dragons, magic, more dragons and magic, and adventure.<br /><br />What do I like about it now. Dragons, magic, adventure, and beautiful writing. I guess I've grown up some. Not much, but some. <br /><br />Love the post. :)Hermana Mawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743516008894676257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962109490336177665.post-3256228407747016322010-09-06T22:04:58.125-07:002010-09-06T22:04:58.125-07:00Great post!

I write for much younger readers, but I am working on a chapter book also. I don't try to delve too deep into all the endless philosophical avenues (and they are endless). It gives me a headache. So, I think about the things I liked reading about as a child, and the things I like reading now (not much of a change!) and try to paint a picture for my readers that will take them to a wonderful, safe, fantasy filled wonderland where anything and everything is possible. I can't write about the everyday norm. If a story doesn't have magical creatures, unknown lands or reality defying happenings, it bores me tremendously. That's how I gauge my writing.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342965114698039232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962109490336177665.post-64044665321241278202010-09-06T12:20:59.439-07:002010-09-06T12:20:59.439-07:00LOL!

I love your lists! V...LOL! Yer hubby cracks me up.<br /><br />I love your lists! Very similar to mine, and my boys are similar to your husbands. They keep asking when I'm going to blow things up and have more adventure. Sigh.Susan Kaye Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348197999397141067noreply@blogger.com
