Spirited Scriveners

Words. Paragraphs. Chapters. Stories. Poems. Exploration through ideas and concepts. Tutorials shared. Haiku. The creative writings of the Spirited Scriveners collective.


Today at Spirited Scriveners

Valentine Haikus. And writers’ updates.

Ann shared an early draft of her upcoming blog post. Look for it. It’s good.

Susan re-read her poem “The Journey” for Michael and Kit. Looking to see it posted here sometime soon.

Kit shared the next Chapter of her Cordelia novel. Some great character development and the pace is picking up!

And Michael discussed query letters. Next week: the first draft of his query letter for the Dalloway project! Really. I promise. (Not promising it’ll be any good….)

AND THE HAIKUS FOR TODAY

A Valentine’s Day Theme. In advance.

Ann:
It was long ago
Perhaps only a moment
When we fell in love

Susan:
Red shoes, pink jacket,
Ding Dong! Roses at the door!
Dream on, Broken Heart.

Kit:
How do I love thee?
Arms open wide, wide, wider
Halt the rushing tide.

What was your first poem?

About

Sometimes it seems everyone is an aspiring writer. May be. Everyone has a story. Everyone has something to say. Although not everyone makes the effort to share it. The Spirited Scriveners exists to encourage that effort. Pen to paper, as it were. Fingertip to keyboard. However it happens.

Here you will encounter the results of our own efforts. Sometimes serious. Sometimes comedic. Sometimes romantic. This group of authors operate in very different worlds. Yet, find it mutually supportive. Whether creating science fiction or romance, children’s picture book or young adult, medical or architectural history, we all look to improve the telling of the tale. We teach each other as we teach ourselves and we navigate the dusky, ever-changing paths of publishing together.
