Lol! My husband says I act like Halloween is Christmas, too!

I don't know why. Maye because the decorations are already up and I watch scary movies every day during the month of October. (This is why Nanowrimo always turns paranormal.)

Cool contest. I'll help spread the word. :-)

Heather Harper said...

I'll post at midnight to make it an October post. ;-)

Okay I have a ghost (Charlie is his name. Don't ask me how I know) who use to be mean to me by like messing with all my electronics and stuff while I was sleeping and then after I moved into every room to get away from him. I stuck with the one I'm in now and I decided to try the Winchester method and put salt in front of every window and door in my room and then it stopped for awhile. Until my idiot friend knocked the salt away. But the other day I couldn't find my notebook, which is very important, so I asked the ghost for help and voila there it was. So we're good now.

Hello, Paradox here. I posted about the Monster Month of Giveaways on my blog:

http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/weblog.php?w=1301

I also posted a reminder for zombie week:

(click link above)

Oh, and I signed up for Blogger and signed up to follow your blog (that's got to count for something). I could have done that for other contests, but I want to win the Paranormal Powerball more than any other blog contest I've ever entered (somewhere around 100).

Cheryl said...

Books would be great Trick-or-Treat surprises. But they might not fit in those candy bags.

Bunny B said...

I've put up a reminder this week here!

Oh, I'm following too!

As a kid (or now!) I'd so prefer getting books to candy! That's a real treat to me.
