Disciples of the watch

Disciples of the watch What's a warm up?

Joyce Fetteroll: Medfield, Massachusetts, United States; I find self-reflective writing prompts uninspiring. I suppose they're good for you. Like vitamins. At least with a vitamin you swallow it and it's gone in a second. But writing prompts you have to live with for 10, 15, 30 minutes. More like a meal. I wanted fantasy prompts to savor so I started collecting and writing some. I named the site after the main character from my first NaNoWriMo novel who was a dragon rider. I wanted a name that said "These aren't your dig deep and tell about your most humiliating childhood experience writing prompts." That was a bit long and, though I didn't love it, Dragon Writing sounded better. I've grown used to it. I write fantasy. I read historical mysteries. I grew up on science fiction. I'm Joyce Fetteroll, wife to Carl, homeschooling mom to Kat, writer, artist, computer nerd, (rusty) black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I was born, grew up, and went to college (Carnegie Mellon University) in Pittsburgh to get a degree in electical engineering. After college, by way of the middle of Pennsylvania and Nashville we eventually arrived where Carl grew up in Boston where we’ve been unschooling Kathryn for over 16 years.
