@sffworld.com's latest book review in their Countdown to Halloween is the 2026 re-released HAMMER HORROR OMNIBUS, written by John Burke and originally published in 1966, now with new foreword and afterword. Read it at www.sffworld.com/2026/10/sffw... #booksky #horrorbooks #spookyseason #halloween

I'm a Millennial. I've lived my whole life in Washington and Oregon. I have no clue what Hi-Chew candy is and had to look it up. Apparently it's from Japan. And here I thought it might have cannabis in it, as that would explain my ignorance. #Halloween www.visualcapitalist.com/halloween-ca...

I'm writing at the cafe and it's a bit chilly. Seriously?! I'm wearing three layers. T-shirt, long sleeve shirt and flannel shirt. Okay, so I've been here for a while now. My hot latte is long finished and I only have cold water now. I could go home, but then I wouldn't get anymore writing done.

Something I wish more people would realize.

I already voted! But I'm sure there's other Americans out there that can use this. Maybe you? Or others among your friends, family and followers?

I'm writing at the cafe this morning. I've got my #pumpkinspice latte in the cafe's oh so fun pumpkin cup and just did a 30 minute sprint and got 506 words down on the scifi 🔱 novel. I could do more, but will leave for next time and do some other writing stuff atm #amwriting #writingcommunity

I voted! Dropped off my ballot and everything!

This owl was getting banded and tagged by the Rocky Point Bird Observatory. For the owl’s safety, he/she was wrapped up. These photos…🤣🦉. So cute.

I'm falling behind in sharing @sffworld.com's Countdown to Halloween book reviews. Check out Monday's review of @thomastessier.bsky.social's 1998 novel FOG HEART. www.sffworld.com/2026/10/sffw... #booksky #horrorbooks #spookyseason #halloween

Fable pushed his food button, so I'm trying to give him food from the green foodball. But all he wants is a bite of my maple pumpkin scone. He's rolling around, trying to act cute to convince me to share. #cats #catpics

@sffworld.com keeps pumping out horror book reviews in their Countdown to Halloween! Check out their review of Katherine Daniel's debut (published today!) Appalachian Folk Horror novel WHEN THE NIGHT COMES KNOCKING www.sffworld.com/forum/thread... #booksky #horrorbooks #spookyseason #halloween

Back at the cafe for Sunday morning writing. The scifi 🔱 novel WIP is still a struggle, though that might just be me struggling to write after weeks away. I've been thinking of a new short fic idea, but realized just now that it may have no audience. 😞😢 #amwriting #writingcommunity

This afternoon's #halloween #spookyseason movie is a black and white classic from the age of color. I'll give you a hint: - "You must be Igor?" - "No, it's pronounced 'Eye-gor'." Do you need more? Perhaps Igor/Eye-gor: "What hump?"

I did the thing! Wrote over 700 words on the scifi 🔱 novel WIP, all on the new idea I recently had for this chapter. Also made good progress in the write up I'm doing for the book I recently finished critiquing. Nearly done with that now. #amwriting #writingcommunity

Another review from @sffworld.com in their Countdown to Halloween: Katherine Arden's 2024 THE WARM HANDS OF GHOSTS. www.sffworld.com/forum/thread... I listened to the audiobook and loved it! Wonderful narrator and even better story. #booksky #horrorbooks #spookyseason #halloween

At the cafe to write this morning. And today, I'm ready to write! Got my muffin, got my pumpkin latte in the vampire mug, and got a story idea and plan to do it. #amwriting #writingcommunity

2nd loaf of pumpkin bread of the season. And the cat who really really wants a bite. #halloween #fall #cats #catpics

At my second weekly write-in thing. Last night and tonight I'm working on the write-up I need to do for the book I finished critiquing a week or more ago. Have I used the words "week" and "write" enough in this post? 😜 #writingcommunity #amwriting

Continuing their Countdown to Halloween 2026, @sffworld.com has reviewed Rachel Harrison's 2020 novel THE RETURN. Check out the review here: www.sffworld.com/forum/thread... #booksky #horrorbooks #spookyseason

Just left home for the first of my two weekly write ins after taking last week off. Work was chaotic last week and writing hasn't been going well. I've had an idea for the scifi 🔱 novel, but... Wish me words! #writingcommunity #amwriting

Fable really REALLY wants my attention. This is a new behavior. Laying in his bed on my desk, kneading the bed like preparing for sleep, then he reaches out to put a gentle paw on my arm as I type an email or other thing. And TODAY he really tried to get my attention. #cats #catpics

Just gave a friend advice on his writer's block. It struck me that the advice was as much for him as for myself, as I'm struggling too. I'm an outliner & know the full story. But are my characters saying they want to do something different at this point? #amwriting #writingcommunity 🔱

So. Many. Leaves. To. Kick!

Exactly my experience! This duology is extremely enjoyable. Even the parts that didn't have me genuinely laughing out loud and busting a gut IN PUBLIC had me grinning ear to ear. This is one of those that made me want to read faster to learn what happens &, simultaneously, slow down just to enjoy.

OMG! The cafe's barista gave me the pumpkin mug again! I'm irrationally excited whenever I'm lucky enough to get it. Yay! And with my partially eaten pumpkin streudel, Halloween sweatshirt and flannel jacket on, it's just the perfect fall morning. 😁🎃😁

I got my annual flu shot. Now I'm protected from all your coughing and sneezes! Still, you really need to wear a mask when you're sick. When I see someone clearly sick and not wearing a mask I always think "You survived a global pandemic and learned... nothing? Seriously?!?!"
