A Warped Witch I Be You're absolutely right. It is sticker shock. What I bought I thought wouldn't be enough. So I ordered this time from Amazon another bag to be delivered ASAP on Friday. I hope they make it in time. Otherwise, if I run out, kids will be getting home-made cookies.
Spiderman! So cute!
And thanks for reading.
I have only one bag of candy this year from Amazon. I'll get more probably tomorrow or the day after when I do my food shopping. I'm hoping the lines won't be too busy.
I think my grandson has a costume that will still fit - the boy loves his Spiderman! I've also put off buying a few bags of candy about as long as is prudent. I'm not sure the prices of the remaining bags go up appreciably, but the length of the lines at the stores sure do!
The writer values the horror genre for addressing tough themes, but she dislikes it for remaining unhappy. Her first scary story was "Jack and the Beanstalk", sparking a fear of the dark. She prefers stories with meaningful lessons, favouring "The Phantom of the Opera".
I really enjoy horror as a genre in general... when it's well done. I don't find jump scares (in movies) or gratuitous gore and gross-outs particularly appealing, but if it's psychological horror, supernatural horror, etc. I'm a lot more interested.
Stephen King's writing I wouldn't say is total horror because many people say it's more psychological suspense, thriller, fantasy, or crime fiction. I like that books can be in multiple genres.
I do like horror in some versions like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Bram Stoker's Dracula, think about it even some of Poe's writing was considered to be in horror genre and I love his writing.
I enjoyed Psycho because Alfred Hitchcock was an interesting director and this was hailed as a huge success. I read the book Psycho by Robert Bloch and I found it okay but seeing it on the screen was much better.
Slasher movies, they're not interesting to me because the goal is to simply scare without a plot beyond that.
I don't like evil stepmothers. Poor Cinderella and Snow White. Phantom of the Opera. I felt sorry for him. We do need horror. I won't write it. I will let Stephen King do that. Good entry
Prompt: Do you ever write stories just using dialogue? Write about this in your Blog entry today.
-----------
No, I don't do that. I like a healthy mixture of everything. I might have, however, tried doing that for a long-ago contest or Slam or something like that. I'll see if I have.
I just ran a search in my port and found one with no dialogue. It shows that no dialogue is not my strong point, either. "The Ice-Cream Truck"
I couldn't find the only-dialogue item; however, I do recall writing something like it. Chances are I might have deleted it.
So, since you asked, here's a short short I just cooked up right now. with only the dialogue.
"Who goes there, in my domain?"
"A friendly seeker."
"What is your business in my forest?"
"I seek the wisdom of the ancient ones."
"Do you have the password?"
"Ooops! I have forgotten."
"Forgetting the password, ha! Wait till I drown you in messy codes!"
