Dragons were notoriously finicky about whom they ate, and thought it the height of bad manners to be kept waiting by their selected fare.

Noontime was absolutely the perfect time for a duel in the dragon’s opinion as this was also lunchtime, his favorite part of the day. As the saying went, he could kill two birds with one stone.

Not being published doesn’t make you a bad writer. Nor does being published make you a talented writer. Enjoy what you do. Criticism will be forthcoming in either case.
