Boo!
Horror scary month is drawing to a close here at WDC, and I hope everyone had fun meeting all the ghosties, solving puzzles on the Messenger console and entering lots of contests and activities. The next question is what did you do with all your horror/scary entries in all the contests? This month, all kinds of inspiring ideas come to mind and end up as great entries in our contests.
Next month will be the beginning of all kinds of holiday activity here and I definitely suggest preparing for those. But don't forget your spooky stuff! There are a lot of places like online magazines and such that are looking for stories and poems with a horror theme. Hopefully you received a review or two that will help you polish your gem and get it on the way to publication.
Don't think when horror month is over, all your entries can go to pasture. There's always a home for them in the horror contests that run year round. When your word count restriction is lifted from the contest, you can add more detail, description and characters to flesh out the story.
Write on and scare on!!!
This month's question: Do you enjoy the horror fun in October? Send in your answer below! Editors love feedback!

Excerpt:
This is a Flash Fiction Contest for Horror Flash Fiction and/or Mystery Flash Fiction. (Closes Oct 31)
Excerpt: I post a photo and you picture a story in the making. No need to write the entire story, unless you want to. All I need is a title and summary of the story, like what you might read on the inside flap of a book cover.

Excerpt: The challenge: write a poem with exactly 24 syllables! The poem can be broken up any way you like ~ 6/6/6/6, 4/8/4/8, 8/8/8, etc. any combination you come up with, but must be 24 syllables
Excerpt: Have you ever watched a movie or a television series and said to yourself I could do that? I could do better, or I would have written it differently? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then this is the contest for you. And if you are a scriptwriter or ever wanted to be one, then this contest is definitely for you too.
Excerpt: I'm looking for responses to a given prompt that make my heart sing and my toes tingle. To aid creativity, I will give you some key words related to the theme of the prompt which you must not use in your writing.
Excerpt: Welcome to the 10th Annual NaNoWriMo Write-A-Thon, the activity where you can compete in NaNoWriMo and raise GPs for some great Writing.com causes at the same time! This event is my way of showing appreciation to all the wonderful groups and activities on this site that encourage members of this site to read, write, and participate in the community. I hope you'll all join me in showing your support by participating as either a writer or a sponsor (or both)!
