Dragons and Redshirts is the exploration of my dream as a writer. Listen in as my characters undergo trials and tribulations spanning a very eclectic range of subjects. Some of these characters and plotlines will make the grade and go on to star in books. Others won't work at all for one reason or another and will be shot down mercilessly. Writing involves this adversarial experience and I welcome feedback from my guinea pigs...I mean...my loyal readers. Is there a character you especially like? Is there something you think I didn't explore enough? Feel free to let me know as you enjoy my romp through time, space, and soul.
Welcome to Dragons & Redshirts, the podcast where I get to hone my writing craft on your ears and give you something pleasant to listen to. Yep, you're my practice buddies! Thanks to my friend Nici for being responsible for this lovely little story! Originally it was slated to be entered into a contest for Doomsday Diary on Vocal. However, I didn't realize that Vocal requires a subscription in order to enter their contests. So now it's a story for you!
This is a Post Apocalyptic story that is less than 2000 words long with one requirement. It had to include a locket. I decided to make something that is only relevant for this time. A casual little story for the here and now here is "The Bet"

Dragons & Redshirts Ep 14 (A Mouse Tail)
Welcome to Dragons & Redshirts, the podcast where I get to hone my writing craft on your ears and give you something pleasant to listen to. Yep, you're my practice buddies! I got the idea for this story after catching almost ten tiny little field mice in live traps in my apartment. After photographing each one, I then started to think about where they came from and what their little lives were like. As a child, Aesop and Watership Down were some of my favorite inspirations for my imagination, so it was no surprise to me when this story popped up into my brain. I hope my little invaders are happy in the field where I released them.

Dragons & Redshirts Ep 9 (Only in my mind)
Welcome to Dragons & Redshirts, the podcast where I get to hone my writing craft on your ears and give you something pleasant to listen to for about 20 minutes. Yep, you're my practice buddies! In my Valheim stories, I write a short story based on the streamed game that I've played. The main character of my Valheim game is Grillain, a viking woman warrior of little reknown who perished on the battlefield and is taken to Valheim to help Odin defeat all the enemies there.
This week Grillain is facing fear. It seems so simple and straightforward. Stop being afraid of the big bad monster. Just another problem to be overcome...right?

Dragons & Redshirts Ep 7 (The Race to Nowhere)
Welcome to Dragons & Redshirts, the podcast where I get to hone my writing craft on your ears and give you something pleasant to listen to for about 20 to 30 minutes. Yep, you're my practice buddies! In my Valheim stories, I write a short story based on the streamed game that I've played. The main character of my Valheim game is Grillain, a viking woman warrior of little reknown who perished on the battlefield and is taken to Valheim to help Odin defeat all the enemies there. This week, Grillain is rather quiet. Her whole target is to gather enough resources to get to her next prey, The Elder. She has no idea what this prey is, but she knows she's going to have to go a long LONG way to get to him. She's going to have to secure enough meat, enough weapons, enough wood, to get there and set up a raiding camp!

Welcome to Dragons & Red Shirts. This podcast is where I get to hone my writing craft on your ears. Yep. You're my practice buddies! In Valheim stories, I write a short story based on the game that I play. In this episode, my character Grillain has her first experience with sailing. Other players of Valheim will recognize the heart pounding moments that poor Grillain is about to experience as she works out what to do next to fulfill Odin's command to wipe out the monsters of Valheim.

Dragons & Redshirts Ep 4 (Obsession?)
In this stream, I was specifically asked about the current books that I was reading. I must admit, I gave a lackluster answer. Me, the queen of description can't talk about books I read, yet I can navigate my way through complicated scientific papers describing immunity, microgravity experiments, or genetic shifts in wheat. I don't think this is a problem in my expression, but rather my emotions while actively speaking. The best thing for me to do in this case, is to go back and try it again. Inevitably I do get better at it. So I will make you this promise. The next Valheim stream, I will go back to the subject and describe the books I am reading in much more detail than just "It's a good fantasy." For now, come and join me in Dragons & Red Shirts where I give you a look in at my writing by playing games and then writing about what happens during that game.
Writers also need to challenge their own views and ways of thinking, much as scientists do. This gives us "the whole picture" as it were. So this week the story is a little different. You've been looking at Valheim from one viewpoint, but what if you saw it just a bit differently? Can I convince you that this vision is just as valid? What will you feel as you read and listen to it? I wish I could know what you think as you do, for that is my job, to make you take your own journey, even as I describe Grillains.
