Fellow Scholars and Scribes! I bid you welcome to the first annual SCRIBE SPOTLIGHT! π several mosh pits erupt everywhere π
At the end of each year, we will take a couple of weeks (maybe more actually, probs like a month at this point 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.
Our last two spotlights are of Scribes with a deft penship. The first is no stranger to anyone browsing the writing communities of Hive. Someone who we are proud to call one of our own. My fellow writing enthusiasts, I brind to you... π₯π₯π₯

The sight of sunflowers, tall and bright
Golden petals shining in the light
Portraying gifts of friendship and stories yet untold
Of joy and happiness to behold
As for her prose, I really enjoy Snow's Time To Fly. Her use of dialogue shines here, but is not the only thing worth a merit. If you have the time, I recommend you give it a read.
"Daughter, please. I worryβ¦" Amira started to say when Snow turned to look at her mother, her amber eyes glowing brightly in sharp contrast to her silky ebony hair. The colour of her hair was the only feature Snow got from her. She always cut it short to frame her oval face. Every other feature was from her father.
Even though see prefers one-off stories,
I shrugged. "It could be an emergency," I moved around him to reach my phone. He sighed. A glance at the screen revealed a number I was not familiar with. I hurriedly pressed the red button, perching it between my ear and shoulder while I kneaded his shoulder, my way of calming him. Jacob raised and dropped his hand in resignation and walked out of our bedroom.
