          I do dabble with maps… I have a picture of one of my old maps that I can post here, but, alas, I don’t have any photographs of my lovely watercolour one right now.


          This map isn’t in a polished state, but I used it to help me with worldbuilding.

            That is an awesome dragon. Such design and detail! I would frame it.

              First of all, sorry for the late reply. I haven’t been on KP much this week… Second of all, I love your parody lyrics! I can definitely appreciate them.
              Oof, music. I listen to a wide variety of music, from orchestral music, to rock, to musicals, to bluegrass, et cetera. (When I say bluegrass I mean the gospel-bluegrass-Canadiana that characterized the music of Tim & the Glory Boys before they went country.) As a rule of thumb, I like older music. Clean music. If you would like, I could make a list of all the artists I listen to regularly.

              Ooh! Sounds like you have a pretty good musical ear! I’m working on developing my musical ear, which includes practicing harmonization when I’m alone (so when I get it wrong, I won’t be embarrassed), and practicing the flute.

                Wow… from what I know of you so far, it seems that we are kindred spirits. Whovians, dragon-lovers, veggie-tale-veterans, old souls, artists,  writers, Christians, The Princess Bride lovers, Narnia lovers… I could go on.

                Meatlug is adorable! Valka’s dragon (is it Cloudhopper?) is also pretty cool, but rather large.

                Are you homeschooled or do you go to a school?  Have you watched the old Doctor Who episodes (with Tom Baker or Jon Pertwee)? Out of the New-Who doctors, I also like David Tennant and Matt Smith the best (although I always wish that Matt had been named John instead… because… you know).

                With elephants at least there is a precedent of flight (though fictional). I  think a flying giraffe would probably look ridiculous.

                Do you have any musical endeavours? What sort of music do you generally listen to?

                  Nice job! I like those designs. Now, what is the story of these villains?

                      I just remembered a song I like to listen to during rough times. It is called I Will, and it is by Citizen Way.

                        Great job on forcing yourself to write! I’ve been trying to write a little bit every day… I’ve written maybe once sentence in the past week.

                        And thank you for the compliment! 😊

                        Soooooo true.

                          Hmm… do you find it slightly worrying that most of us writers have a procrastination problem? How will I ever finish my book?

                            I am glad you asked. I gathered inspiration from more classical scientific ideas, namely “ether”. People used to believe that space was full of this energy-stuff. So, dragons are a sort of life form that can be sustained by ether.
                            My story is centred in a certain kingdom. It is a sort of feudal system with multiple moons orbiting a gas giant. The moons are ruled by lords, who are ruled by the king who lives in a special city on the planet (outfitted to sustain human life). Humans cannot survive in the “ether-sphere.” (I just made that term up and I think I like it.)

                            That explanation was quite rambling, but I hope it was effective.

                              Yes… I am such a terrible procrastinator. Actually, if you think about it, I am very good at procrastinating. I am the bane of my own creative existence.

                                That white creature is a dragon that I didn’t bother doing any details on…

                                Do you also wish to find a TARDIS?

                                  Why, thank you! *blushes*

                                  Usually I don’t have the patience to spend a lot of time on a piece of art, but I’m working on that because I find that if I ACTUALLY SPEND TIME ON IT, then I am  happier with the result.
