Inspiring A Writer— Laidly Wyrm of Spindleston Heugh

Random Bits of Fascination Posted on June 5, 2018 by Maria GraceMarch 1, 2025

I’m not the only one who enjoys telling a good dragon story– Elizabeth tells the story of Laidly Wyrm of Spindleston Heugh.     Last week we talked about how the story of Maud and the Mordiford Dragon shaped the character of Elizabeth Bennet. In thinking about her character, it seemed pretty obvious that she would think about dragons a great deal. She would read about them a lot, fact and fable, and probably, given the … Continue reading →

Inspiring A Writer—The Mordiford Dragon

Random Bits of Fascination Posted on May 29, 2018 by Maria GraceMarch 1, 2025

When a myth comes along and hands you your heroine, who am I to argue? Meet the Mordiford Dragon. Most of the time when one is slogging through the research process in hopes of getting the right information for a story, one ends up doing some head thumping. Ok, maybe quite a bit of it. Like discovering that, although I desperately wanted my characters to put something into a spray bottle (atomizer) the necessary technology … Continue reading →

Inspiring A Writer—The Lambton Worm

Random Bits of Fascination Posted on May 22, 2018 by Maria GraceMarch 1, 2025

The Lambton Worm–when a dragon shows up that close to Pemberley, one must take notice! Part 3 The last couple of weeks we’ve been talking about how it is even remotely possible that the world of Pride and Prejudice could make any sense with dragons. With the help of Uther Pendragon and the various dragon mythos of Britain and Europe   I hope you’ve started to see the possibilities. Last week we left off having populated the … Continue reading →

Inspiring A Writer—Jane Austen’s Dragons! part 2

Random Bits of Fascination Posted on May 15, 2018 by Maria GraceMarch 1, 2025

What goes into inspiring a writer? You might be surprised how much research it takes to come up with mythical creatures! As I mentioned last week pondering Uther Pendragon’s story gave me inspiration for the Blue Order, the group of humans and dragons who oversee the peace treaty and the affairs of British dragons and their Keepers. But who were these dragons that inhabited Britain? A good time to dive back into mythology! If you … Continue reading →
