I've got a dragon.........

award that is!  Here it is....

A group of dragons decided they needed their own blog and so Dragon's Lair is born.   The first post on this bright new blog reads:


Nine valid entries today. The choice was very hard. We used a different system. We read the stories out loud in groups of two and kept the one we thought best.



We continued that process until we had four blogs left. Then each dragon took a blog and read the entry out loud telling the others what he or she thought was best about that blog entry.


Then we voted.


After several rounds of voting we finally picked the best wordzzle this week.


It has humor, a suprise ending, and did all three challenges. It also made good use of pictures.

 
And the winner of this week's dragon award is.

Congratulations Akelamalu.


Thank you to Dr. John's grandsons for helping us poor dragons with the judging.


WOW!  This came as a complete surprise, I had no idea Wordzzles were being judged for an award, I am honoured as there are so many fantastic wordzzles out there.  If you haven't already, do visit Raven the founder of Wordzzles and click on the Mr. Linky to see who has joined in the weekly Wordzzle challenge. We know that most bloggers are budding writers and love a challenge, so why not have a go yourself ? 


Dr. John, whose grandsons helped to judge the wordzzles, has his own blog called Dr. John's Fortress where he writes about all manner of things and in particular about Pigeon Falls - The little town in his basement where the trains still run and dragons fly.  Do pay him a visit you won't regret it!

Thank you Fandango and the Dragons for this most prestidgious award - I am truly honoured.
