ON THIS DAY: In 532 a quarrel between supporters of different chariot teams [the Blues and the Greens]in the Hippodrome escalates into violence in Constantinople which come to be called the Nika riots. In 1569 the first recorded lottery was held in England. In 1759 the first American life insurance company was incorporated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1787 William Herschel discovered Titania and Oberon, two moons of Uranus. In 1922 the world's first insulin [then called isletin] treatment was given at the Toronto General Hospital on Leonard Thompson, age 14. In 1927 Louis B Mayer, head of film studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), announced the creation of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, at a banquet in Los Angeles, California. In 1935 Amelia Earhart became the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to California. In 1996 STS-72 launches from the Kennedy Space Center marking the start of the 74th Space Shuttle mission and the 10th flight of Endeavour.
Sooner or later, every person who has determined that they need to write gets constipated. Well, actually everyone has a problem with constipation at one time or another, but I am not potty-talking at the moment [you’re welcome] today at least. I might save that for a later post! No I am talking about not being able to put the words that are floating around in your head onto paper in any form that might be found interesting by yourself much less another reader – and it is apparently a wide-spread issue because a quick Google search on “writing prompts” turns up around 11,800,000 results. Now I don’t know if all of them are really links about ideas to journal about because like everyone else, I only really look at the first two pages of the search. Out of all of them, I picked 365 Creative Writing Prompts and scrolled down to #11
11. Dragon: Envision a dragon. Do you battle him? Or is the dragon friendly? Use descriptive language.
Shades of UnderTale, neh? My son got that game and was so amused by the novelty that he got it for me, although I haven’t had much time to fool with it.
According to Wikipedia, “a Dragon Lady is usually strong, deceitful, domineering, or mysterious. The term's origin and usage is inspired by the characters played by actress Anna May Wong, the term comes from the female villain in the comic strip Terry and the Pirates.” Calling a woman a dragon lady in Western society implies that somehow she is offensive [mainly to men], a sexual predator, and a bit evil/maniacal, plotting for world domination or something. In the East, a dragon lady is more of a compliment as she is seen as highly independent, very honest, queenly, and alluring.
Yup, I need a third option so I can BE the dragon!
