The World’s Best-Loved Authors Breathe Life Back into A Girl’s Prose

As life has happened to my subject outside of the writing world, she decides to find help from her favourite authors. This is her story of the renewal of her creativity.

As she watched from afar, Ev she did spy. Life was hard in the year that whisked by. Wrist broken on a campsite spun her to unspoken pain. Picture wilderness all around, thankful air ambulances abound.

After eight weeks of heavy casts then therapeutic measures need to apply, day by day it all slips by. Then summer turned to fall, before the woman knew it, it was Santa’s time to call.

Life rushed by she heard whispers on the side. It’s true no Ev hadn’t lied. He’d once more changed the rules. Gotta rush so you don’t lose the tools.

What to do? Where to go? How can you reclaim your prose?

Go to those you love and they will help you through. Ask them all, they’ll know what to do.

So she sped out the door, to the library Elle tore.

It was Milne found first, but he politely waved her off. “Bother, I have a small bear stuck in a honey jar”, he mumbled as his scarf he did doff.

From the corner of her eye, there was a hole in the sand. Then Stevenson spoke with a spade in his hand, “I know there’s a treasure. It’s buried deep, until I have it I will not sleep”.

Dejected and sad another friend swung by, it was Salinger on the heels of the catcher in the rye. No, he couldn’t stop, he didn’t spare a glance. Poor girl never had a chance.

Oh, what to do? Where does one go next? Stoker is watching Drac and vampires biting necks.

The magic of Rowling is at the top of the keep. With a wave of her wand, the washrooms begin to speak. As she rushed up the stairs to get her question out, the whole flipping floor did a spin about.

Asimov spoke with Sagan about the dawn of time, as Hawkings made a quip that nearly blew her mind. It all went sideways when Elle tried to make sense, as she saw Twain and Huck sitting on a fence.

Brontë was laughing at the lovers in a field. Do you even know if they did yield?

Conan Doyle traded wit with his dear friend Watson, as Sherlock simply wished to study the toxin. On the trail of a mystery, they had no reason to help a girl in her quest. She turned away with her dilemma and no sign of rest.

As she sauntered on there was Verne at the bottom of the sea. Trying to fathom whatever the heck that might be.

She’d talked to Plato but it’s all been said before. Moving on she almost bumped him, right out the door.

Einstein summed it up in relativity … it’s simple it’s all energy to me.

While King sat on the sidelines watching with a sneaky little grin. That crazy guy let all the ghouls in. As they crept around her mind she heard a loud silent shout, someone dared to let Johnny out!

Then Shelley was in the attic and put her stein down. “Let’s be frank, I have a new friend in town.” Her monster did quiver when she wrenched on that switch. Elle swore he sat up straight when the lightning bolt hit.

Next, she saw dear Shakespeare but he was busy taming the shrew. It brought to mind a thought of Steinbeck he had mice, too.

Thank goodness for the likes of Tolkien who takes the world to a simple place. With rings and magic in an ever-greening space.

Hemingway’s on the beaches in the sand, she thought she’d rather go fishing with the pipe-smoking man.

As she left the library there was one last man to see, but when approached Carroll just turned quietly. It’s all in the looking glass can you see it now? Yes, she just wasn’t sure how.

She only saw Mad Hatter dashing off somewhere, with nary a moment or two to spare. He caught my eye and muttered “I’m late, I’m late, I’m late! Come to the party anyway, it’s just one more plate.”

These friends of Elle’s have helped her to continue through. Something she thought they were too busy to do. Help her they did as once again they bring to mind an everlasting win. A subject here, a thought there. It’s meant to be a razzlebedewzer, even Seuss wasn’t a loser.

Thank you Ev for urging me to once more create. I only hope my effort was not too late.
