Celebrating Spillwords Press October Publication of the Month!

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Awards, Poetry

Happy Friday and Happy November!

Thanks to your generosity and for taking the time to vote, my poem “Treats only, Please!” won Publication of the Month for October on Spillwords Press!!! 🎉🎉

I am so excited to receive this award among 15 other wonderful nominees! Thank you to Dagmara K. and her team for providing a welcoming literary site for authors to share their emotions through words. I’m honored to be a part of the Spillwords Press community!

I offer my deepest gratitude for your vote and ongoing support, and for visiting Spillwords to read my poem, “Treats only, Please!” I’m delighted that my light-hearted, entertaining take on Halloween resonated with so many! A poem that was inspired by the days when my children were young and had a blast dressing up in their cute costumes to trick-or-treat! I took a stroll down memory lane to find the pics below…

My angel and lion!
Lion meets cheerleader!
Harry Potter meets a vampire, and our Lucky Girl joins
in the fun! Lucky Girl was given her wings in 2011. ❤️

My poem is displayed on the sidebar of the Series tab at Spillwords.com for the month of November, if you’d like to take a peek!

Have a wonderful day and weekend ahead, and thank you again!

~ Lauren ❤️

  1. Huge congratulations!! I am so pleased your poem won Publication of the Month. The kids in their Halloween costumes are adorable. I loved creating costumes for my kids too.

  5. What great news, Lauren and congratulations on this wonderful news. Who who, publication of the month is fabulous and I love the photos of your adorable children when they were young! 🎉👏🎉💕🎉

    1. Thanks for your lovely words, Sue! I love looking back at those precious photos. And I’m so grateful for all the support for this nomination. I’m over the moon again! Much love and wishing you a wonderful weekend! xoxoxoxo

  8. Enjoyed the poem and photos, Lauren. Congratulations. Takes me back to my youth. We lived next to an old, overgrown graveyard when I was growing up. Plenty spooky at Halloween. My brother and I would hide in the graveyard and make ghost sounds when trick-or-treaters went walking by.

      3. This will work, Lauren. Just go to your browser and type in: Nancy Jo and the Graveyard Ghost. Scroll down a tad and you should come right to it. I just tried to make sure it works. Choose the ‘blog a book’ entry. It’s worth a laugh. I’m surprised my sister didn’t kill us.

      2. Oh, Kym, you’re funny! I think the fact that I didn’t submit a scary piece kept telling me that it won’t be accepted. So, ‘unexpected’ because of the light-hearted take on Halloween. But I guess I’m not the only one who likes fun more than spooky! 👻 That’s the reasoning! Thank you again, and of course, I’m over the moon and very grateful for the support I’ve received. Hugs and smooches, dear friend! 🥰🥂🎉👻🤗

      1. Aww you are very welcome Lauren.
        Kym and I are heading over to you now 🍾🍸🍾😁
        Bask in your well deserved success my friend!
        Thank you 🙏🏻
        Hugs and a wonderful weekend to you 🌹🥰❤️

  13. Congratulations, Lauren. What a ” Treat.” I’m so happy for you. And I just love all the photos. Those old Halloween photos of your kids are wonderful. Love the smiles. ❤ ❤ ❤

  21. Congratulations Lauren!

    You deserve all accolades for your heart warming writing: not just this poem, but all of your writing.

    There’s not much else to say..

    YAHOO, YAY, OBOY, YEEHAW, HURRAH, HURRAY, WAY TO GO, YAHOO (did I say that already?)

    🎉🥇✨🌟🏆💥
