On Losing the Christopher Paolini Writing Challenge
It all started when I was perusing Paolini's website to find his fan mail address, as I had done a few months ago. I had just published my first book (a children's picture book) and wanted to thank him for his encouragement after I'd sent him a letter a few months prior, and he'd responded telling me to go for it. I scrolled mindlessly through his website until a blog post caught my eye, clicking on it to reveal an opportunity the likes of which I'd never seen before. A chance to not only win thousands of dollars, but also to get a one-on-one meeting with the man himself.

Laila's Lament
Fragility. That was the thought that always came to mind whilst Laila roamed the forests when the leaves turned to colors of gold and crimson. Every leaf, branch, and bark would crumble beneath her weight, becoming nothing but dust whenever she deigned to move. The forest itself seemed to shudder beneath her body, every movement causing leaves to detach from their branches, encircling her frame as if they were drawn to her very presence. So often would they blanket her dark blue scales that she would sometimes feel as if she was one with the forest, becoming nothing more than a mirage of morning colors that blended into the background, isolated from the gazes of the living.
