Scribes Blog Carnival
Hello everyone! Welcome to the [late] October edition of the Scribes carnival. We have a nice number of entries this round, and I am happy to present them to you.
One note about an issue that came into being in this round - I am limiting everyone to two submissions per carnival. I love a big carnival, but I don’t want any of the sections to be flooded by one or two people.
Thanks everyone.
Let’s get started!
Kevin Bedell presents The New Values of the 21st Century Citizen posted at 21st Century Citizen.
Samir Bharadwaj presents Lessons in learning, language and literature posted at SamirBharadwaj.com, saying, “Some people correct their eyesight with glasses and some choose another way. Some people went to school in boring monolithic prisons and some have a different story. Some people think of it as just another unventful day in the city and some find adventure and ramble about it.”
Fiction
Elvis D presents Katana Justice posted at 365fiction. [Warning: Contains violence that may not be appropriate fro all readers.]
Jill Bennett presents Day Trip posted at Wood For Trees, saying, “I’ve created a pastiche victorian blogger (eg diarist, letter-writer) - and I’d like some feedback. I hope it can be dropped into as well as read in a linear way.” - This fiction blog is easy to read and entertaining. 
Elvis D presents A Writer’s Life posted at 365fiction. - I could swear I’ve read this somewhere before, but it’s an interesting piece of fiction, albeit possibly a little confusing for some people.

Non-Fiction
Sean-Paul Kelley presents Bittersweet posted at The Agonist, saying, “After the personal vicissitudes of the last several months I never thought I’d have the chance to live in such a place. For that and for finding my muse once again, I am truly grateful.”
Michael@TSM presents Making Love to the Bus posted at Traveling Stories Magazine, saying, “Thank you for hosting the carnival, and if your interested in working on a project together feel free to let me now.
Cheers,
Michael”

I should say out of fairness my post doesn’t deal with my first professional byline, but a significant event nonetheless.
It took about a dozen tries for me to accomplish a goal, having a letter published in Sports Illustrated as a teenager. After it was published I never wrote another one.
An interesting twist is the person that appeared on the cover in which I appeared.
Beyond that, I think this is a good collection of posts.
This is my first time posting in a carnival that allowed more than one submission per blog…something I’ll have to keep in mind in the future.

I could have sworn it said this was your first. I must have read it wrong.
Thank you for your submission. While I do limit it to two, I see no reason to limit it to one - especially if you have them in two different categories.
I’ll be setting up the next carnival soon, so check back in.
