And we're back to another Monstrous Monday. I figured I'd finally touch on one of the other creatures in the actual header image so why not mermaids / mermen, otherwise known as merfolk. Keep in mind these creatures are different from sirens and the like, which might be a good topic for next week in … Continue reading MM – Merfolk

MM – Cockatrice
And we're back for another Monstrous Monday! I'm on a role! As promised, today we're going to be taking a look at the cockatrice, a creature that is as deadly and evil as the basilisk we took a look at last week. For the sake of separating these two critters, I will be doing a … Continue reading MM – Cockatrice
MM – Basilisk
Yeah... that whole new year, new leaf thing got off to a great start, didn't it? XD Anyway... Welcome back to another Monstrous Monday! At least I'm getting to another post in the same month this time. 😉 Moving in the right direction! So, to the topic at hand. I kept trying to figure out … Continue reading MM – Basilisk
MM – Ouroboros
New year, new leaf. At least that's what I keep trying to tell myself. I'm not big on making New Year's resolutions. I've learned I don't have a great track record with keeping them. But that doesn't mean some things aren't worth trying again. And again. And again. And as many times as it might … Continue reading MM – Ouroboros
MM – Phoenix
Narrated by Naomi On to another Monstrous Monday. Perhaps this one is largely because I actually mentioned a phoenix in my previous post but why not? Welcome to a short discussion about everyone's favorite firebird! And even if they're not your favorite, they're still amazing in their own right. If you've seen the Harry Potter … Continue reading MM – Phoenix
Vampires
Ah yes. The tried and true monster of the night. Vampires. I'm sure we all know the basics and while I could find resources and go on at length about them, I wanted to take a look at a few of the common traits and then how you can sort of play with them. Personally … Continue reading Vampires
Canva Magic!
*gasp* Several of my students have told me about Canva and just how accessible and easy it is to use. I can be a bit skeptical at times but they have honestly spoken nothing but the truth here. While I may not have the creative writing bug yet, or lately in general, the ability to … Continue reading Canva Magic!
Cuddles Are the Answer
In which one werewolf has a bad day and the rest of his packmates decide he needs cuddles.
TMMD Chapter Five: Time Will Tell
It took a few days, but the tension between Amarynthe and her father eventually worked itself out. They had their talk – a couple in fact – and though neither was entirely happy with the outcome, they did manage to come to a compromise of sorts. Madeus promised that he wouldn’t attempt any more … Continue reading TMMD Chapter Five: Time Will Tell
TMMD Chapter Four: Secrets Laid Bare
Amarynthe fought with her dress as it clung to her legs in awkward clumps. Her knees pulled at the durable material and it threatened to bunch and tangle at any given moment, only fueling her irritation. But it did not stop her. Not at all. Her path took her away from the tower, away from … Continue reading TMMD Chapter Four: Secrets Laid Bare
