The Pen of a Nimble Scribe - Writing Prompts for the Church Year

Writing prompts are well-known in the field of creative writing. They are a means for writers to concentrate on and explore particular topics or themes, with the intent of encouraging writers to write thoughtfully and creatively, even in times of “writer’s block,” or periods in which personal inspiration seems to be lagging. However, no collection of these prompts focused for writers in the religious, scriptural, spiritual, or liturgical fields has been available. The Pen of a Nimble Scribe was created for these writers. It uses the scriptures and rhythms of the Church’s lectionaries (Roman Catholic and Revised Common) toopen new and creative writing approaches. For anyone who writes religious/spiritual/scriptural/liturgical texts of any sort, it will be a valuable resource. Alan J. Hommerding brings more than thirty years as an editor, author, poet, and pastoral prayer practitioner to this collection.
