Fellow Scholars and Scribes! I bid you welcome to the first annual SCRIBE SPOTLIGHT! π a friendly brawl ensues π
At the end of each year, we will take a couple of weeks (maybe more actually π ) to highlight our most diligent and talented authors. π±
Of course, there are other factors at play: your activity in the community, the number of writings you have posted, as well as your overall conduct with other members.
All quotes in this showcase are from the spotlighted creator's works.
In this corner, hailing from a land far from here - yet keenly felt. She is the designated contest queen (sorry Lily), and a mighty Scribe to match. My fellow Scholars, I bring you you... π₯π₯π₯
π samsmith1971 π
This spotlight might have come as a surprise to some of you (not sure why it was pretty obvious honestly, jeez) but @samsmith1971 most certainly deserves it . π
While yes, most of her Scribe earned has been from the best written and formatted contest post (sorry Lily), her pen is still deadly. π±
And being an amazing ambassador is nothing to scoff at. The dreemers have been a contributed sizably to the growth of this community, and it would be amis of us not to acknowledge that. π Thank you all, deeply. β€οΈ
And most importantly thank you to your leader @samsmith1971 (sorry Lily). π»
Sam wields her quill with a deft hand. Her knowledge of pace, sentence and paragraph structure, along with a well thought out approach, can only be honed through years of experience. I honestly wished she posted more of her fiction since her works are always a treat to read. π
In all respects, Maxine and I were divergent personalities. She preferred the masculine contraction of her full name. She was bold, aggressive, and domineering. Our strengths shone in different hemispheres - I was the creative one, into Arts and the Humanities, and she was the intellectual, a Maths and Physics fiend... although I preferred to imagine her as calculating and manipulative.
As such, @samsmith1971 has embodied what it means to be both a thoughtful and approachable Scholar and a dedicated Scribe. Take notes people of power (I am not naming names, ofc ourse). π
That last excerpt was from the short story The illusion of self. As is this one:
As I lay there, my thoughts turned existential. Max and I were both distinct persona existing disparately within the contours of my mind. I was only aware of her emergence as she took over... then it was all a blur... a blackout...I gleaned everything I knew from those moments of transition as I grappled for dominance on the virtual wrestling mats of my mind. It was a fight that had been ongoing since I was twelve.
Another well made piece is the three-parter The Water Guardian something I personally wish she did more of (shorter serialized fiction I mean).
He reached for the manual, a thick leather dossier that lay pristine on the small table beneath the largest of the trees, and ran his fingers gently over its spine, the pages between its covers seemingly untouched, a testament perhaps to how well-oiled the machinery was and how smoothly things actually did run. Next to the manual was a large red button and a sign that simply read: Use Only In Case of Emergency.
And for me, the fact she isn't Scribing as much as I would like - her Sholaring and being an awesome ambassador more than makes up for it. π

hehehe why so many apologies to this Lily person?? π Seems that it forced the reader to think there was some competition there with the well-deserving Samantha Smith! and that this Lily lady would feel slighted in some way???? hehehehee
When on the contrary, I'm sure that anyone who is familiary with the fantastic Sam knows that there is no way that she is competition with anyone but herself. She strives each post - to hone her talent, sharpen her skills and outshine only her last efforts to write her absolute best. And... she succeeds!! hehehe
It's my great joy and honor to be friends with her and constantly be inspired by her. She knows that she is God's answer to my prayers! hehehe I love her dearly and continue to have my life blessed by her in every way!
love you @samsmith1971 Congratulations on being yet another amazing writer featured in these posts by @grocko!!!! hehehe it will be my sheer joy to update the DreemPort site right now with a new scribe! hehehehe

I was also thinking who this Lily is..... The only Lily I know is Tiger Lily π€
Samantha Smith is one of her kind. Unique and special. I am so excited to see her featured. Thanks for directing me here
Just some harmless fun. π Thought it would be a nice jovial throughline through the post. π
And yes, Sam truly deserves this spotlight. She has been an integral part of this community and I hope she keeps blessing us with her writings. π€
hehehe yes - loved teasing you though ;)
I have been offline for almost a week, woman down with flu. Still recovering but I saw a few notifications from Ginabot yesterday as I was lying in bed, scrolling up over the past few days... trying to get my head back into Hive... and then I found this! What a lovely surprise, thank you, Grocko π I wish I had more time to write too. If I did, I would. I adore the written word. I am going to try to work a bit smarter with my writing time this coming year so that I can generate more fiction content. And who knows... I may just try another few 3-parters hehe...
Hope you had a lovely Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

Next one should be your favorite relf. ;)
Looking forward! :)
@grocko Yeah you are right to select sam smith. @samsmith1971 is a great writer who always writes uniquely on a different topic.
Illusion of self is one of my favorite posts written by her. She beautifully describes the influence of homosexuality and the dominance of anyone on some personalities. I like the character of Emily in the story.
I always like to read posts by her.
I got this post through @dreemport.
and once again!!!! you got the BOUNTY!!!
Nice job - entering into the bounty @abdul-qudus, @amberkashif, @wrestlingdesires hehehee be sure to check out the new one for @relf87!! :)
but today - tehseen won the 100 Dreem bounty!
good luck to you all next time! hehehehe
Thanks for the mention! :)
Thank you so muchπ€π€.
I am so happy to win once again.

hi... thank you for enjoying my piece - the Illusion of Self. It was written as an exploration of Dissociative identity disorder or D.I.D (also known as multiple personality disorder). There was no intention to infer a homosexual relationship between Max and Emily as they exist within the same person but as they say... once the writer releases their story to the world, the interpretations are in the hands of the readers. π

Heheπ€, I hope you don't mind that I just express my feelings about the story of both characters and don't focus on the topic on which you wanted attention to be paid.
Thank you to correct my interpretation about the story.
Happy new year in advanceπ€π€.
@samsmith1971 is one of the best thing happened to me on this platform. She is one of her kind. Unique, Energetic, full of wisdom. She is not only an amazing writer but a wonderful personality. Supportive
kind and considerate. With her dedication and diligence she really deserved to be featured here.
!LUV you Sam
