Welcome to The Ink Well Golden Quill Writer Showcase!

In this series, we are selecting one writer to showcase in each edition. The selected writer may be a rising star or an author whose work consistently demonstrates the writing skills we promote in our writing prompts and our catalog of fiction writing tips.

In all cases, The Ink Well Golden Quill will showcase a community member in good standing in The Ink Well who regularly publishes in our community and supports other community members by reading and commenting on their work.

In addition to showcasing one of the author's recent stories, we will also reward a Golden Quill badge to the writer.

This Week the Golden Quill Goes to: @popurri

Story Excerpt: Their Yellow Eyes

As the hours passed, the storm subsided and the sky cleared. The moon was once again illuminating the night. José Eduardo had fallen asleep and through the window my dad had a vision of a beautiful animal, a puma, standing on the rocks, staring at him.

For a moment he had a premonition and quickly woke up his friend. "Quickly we have to get out of here". At that moment, a loud sound of falling rocks told them that they could not waste time. They grabbed the rescue backpack and ran out of the train into the forest. The rocks had fallen on the locomotive, burying it completely. My father and José Eduardo were still staring in disbelief at the disaster.

What We Loved

With this story, @popurri creates a wonderful tension, which is an important component of any great story. She introduces a powerful wild animal into the story — a beautiful and dangerous creature — at a moment when the lives of the two people in the story are already in danger. For their survival, they must decide whether to trust that this animal is there to help them, and not to feast on them.

Author Accolades

@popurri writes with grace. She has a writing voice that makes us want to sit down by a fire and read her tales. They are stories the reader can immerse in. Stories that resonate and make us want to read more. Well done, @popurri. Keep writing!

I felt a great emotion when I saw my name... my eyes watered, as we say in my country. Thank you very much to the The Ink Well team for this beautiful encouragement. My experience in this community has been wonderful since my friend @katleya invited me to participate. I never imagined that I could write stories that others would like to read and here I have learned with all the help you give us and with the interaction with all the fabulous writers in this community, that it can be done.
Greetings and blessings
