Fellow Scholars and Scribes! I bid you welcome to the second annual SCRIBE SPOTLIGHT! π mosh pit ensues π
Each year we take a month to celebrate and commemorate our most diligent and talented authors. πΊ
All quotes in this showcase are from the spotlighted creator's works.
Our first spotlight is on a long-standing author in the Hive ecosystem, and one I am proud to call a member of this community. It is an author who takes her work very seriously, and one that has shown marked improvement in her work over the years. Guys, gals, and non-binary pals, I present to you... π₯π₯π₯

@esther-emmanuel has been with us from the beginning. A diligent Scholar to loves to read anything and everything. And a talented Scribe who has dazzled us with her amazing writing more times than one person can count. πππ
As a Scribe, she is not afraid to embrace the darkness in the human heart, and the amazing stories it brings out in all of us. She is no stranger to writing fantastical, crime dramas and paranormal action pieces alike. As a Scholar, her passion for the craft is unmistakable. It's always a pleasure to see someone appreciate other people's work as much as they do their own. π
The emojis chosen above were not random. Esther's diverse habits compliment her diverse taste in stories. It is only natural that someone with such a rich spirit writes with a force that can be felt reverberating off every paragraph. π―
The story I linked above is ongoing, thrilling, and dark. Very dark in places. Which suits me just fine. π I might be projecting here, but I feel Esther understands that we can only see the light when we're in darkness. "The glimmer of stars can only show up at night." Or however that saying went. There is no greater thing to write about than the conflict of the human heart war with itself.
And now for an exert from 'The Awakening.'
Right before my eyes, after they confined me to a chair with my hands and legs cuffed to it, I watched as my two boys and beautiful daughter were brutally tortured to motivate Jackson to return the money back. I looked into Jackson's eyes and all I saw was an innocent man who didn't take the money. We both begged for the torture to stop and our lives be spared but our plea fell on deaf ears.
Another twisted tale is Boot Print. Linking the final part here because it has all the others linked inside. But this is another gripping story where Esther's characteristic style is on full display. Spoiling anything would be a disservice to the amazing plot she weaves, so I'll just leave you with this excerpt.
Peter took the letter from her, tore it open to see its content and after reading, his hands began to shake. He then folded the letter into a small shape, pocketed it, and asked Sofia to pack a "getaway bag" so they could leave their apartment immediately.
@esther-emmanuel's penmanship is unmistakable. I believe she is only now coming into her own as an author, and I cannot fathom the heights she will reach if she keeps improving at her craft. I wish her luck on her journey, and I am happy and honored she has decided to share some of it with us here. π
