Tip Writes a Poem

 

Tip the elf thought that he'd be the perfect person to write a poem for National Bad Poetry Day.

How do you think he did?

Help Me Cast My Next Character!

 



I’m auditioning a new character for my next fantasy adventure in the Chronicles of Nadavir series. Three bold young candidates have stepped onto the stage, hoping for a debut part. I can only cast one (for now) and that’s where YOU can help! Which one should I write into the story?
Candidate #1: The Rebel Dragon - Tired of the cold. Tired of the rules. Tired of never being taken seriously. This young dragon is itching to fly beyond the misty glaciers of icy Niflheim and finally have an adventure of his own. Enthusiastic, impulsive, and strong-willed—he’s a firecracker in a frosty shell. Do you want to see him break free and spread his wings?
Candidate #2: Fireball with a Grudge - Is he a friend or an enemy? Born in the blistering heat of Muspelheim, the fire realm, this young fire creature does not generally like visitors. He’s got a short fuse and is smoldering with anger. But he knows how to blaze a path for the friends on their perilous journey. Could he be the spark this story needs?
Candidate #3: Human Tree Guardian - Hailing from the human realm of Midgard, this young girl has one mission: protect the environment. Trees are her family, and she’s not a fan of unexpected guests stomping through her forest. She’s clever, fierce, and determined to keep the world green. Does she belong in the spotlight?
COMMENT on this post to tell me why you think
1-Dragon,
2-Fireball, or
3-Tree Guardian
would make an interesting addition to help Tip, Frigg, Ping, and Cricall on their next journey. I’ll reveal the winner in a future post, and who knows…maybe your choice will shape the whole story and determine the fate of Yggdrasil, the World Tree!
