The Dragons of Cronesboro

1937 Ford Model 78 Deluxe Roadster Green Dragon by Teagan via Night Cafe

Welcome to The Dragons of Cronesboro

This is a recap page for the Dragons of Cronesboro writing exercises.  These posts combine writing exercises with a serialized urban fantasy story.  It includes reader participation where I ask for various items, places, and whatever “things” to allow followers to become part of the posts.  The focus is as much on reader participation as it is about the craft of writing.  Follow along with the story.  Maybe try some of the exercise topics yourself.  Plus, feel free to leave a suggestion in a comment whenever I open the floor to your suggestions for “things.” This page hosts links to the various posts.
