Mother Of The Dawn

Mother of the Dawn

She stands amidst a waste of life, 

the ashes of a birthright burning,

a dragon in a land of sheep, 

willing to kill her kingdom to be queen. 

Decrees that those who do not bend

must break, the pieces of the 

shattered remains of her madness. 

The breaker of armies and 

pyro with soldiers and their sons, 

soldering any will of iron. 

Born of lightning and smoldering legacy,

she claims what is hers with Fire and Blood. 

But as she stands amidst the requiem of a funeral pyre, 

her determination is as bright as her dragon’s fire. 

Declaring that no flame is to be bought or sold, 

and with dried blood makes her declaration known. 

They called her “mother” 

as she stood in the light of day. 

Sunlight can start wildfires, 

and she is burning her path in the world as both. 

Change is a fire, 

and she’s the first of embers. 

Dragons of conquest, 

a sunrise over the water. 

She is both, 

mad with her power and 

the mother’s mercy, 

the Promise of the Dawn.

As Game of Thrones’ Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, 

The Mother of Dragons, 

The Unburnt, 

The Breaker of Chains, 

her actress, Emilia Clarke, survived two brain aneurysms. 

“You walk out on set, and you play a badass, and you walk through fire, 

and that really became the thing that saved me from 

contemplating my own mortality.” 

The Mother of her Own Dawn, 

she broke her own chains, 

tamed her own fire, 

and she didn’t need her dragons to do it. 

Ladies- there is nothing wrong with not being like "other girls," because we are, in fact, all different.

If you don't want people to criticize you for your interests, then don't do the same to other women.

It’s great to live by the philosophy of “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything,” but also “if you have something nice to say, say it.”

There’s never too much kindness in the world, and the more of it the better.

I’ve always been annoyed when people call out a character for doing something irrational. I once read a story where the wife stabbed her husband and then called the police, to which everyone in my writing class pointed out “why would she do that it makes no sense.”

Your characters don’t always have to make sense to your reader, as long as they can make sense to themselves.

imo the best way to interpret those “real people don’t do x” writing advice posts is “most people don’t do x, so if a character does x, it should be a distinguishing trait.” human behavior is infinitely varied; for any x, there are real people who do x. we can’t make absolute statements. we can, however, make probabilistic ones.

for example, most people don’t address each other by name in the middle of a casual conversation. if all your characters do that, your dialogue will sound stilted and unnatural. but if just one character does that, then it tells us something about that character.
