Betsy and I are hosting a costume party this Halloween, so we’re getting decorations ready. On our latest excursion yesterday, I picked up some poster board from Walmart and drew this guy with permanent marker. (Click photo to enlarge.)
I used this spider photo as a model, though of course I took some artistic liberties. What do you think? Creepy enough? I may do a jack-o’-lantern or a ghost later, if I have time.
Got any plans for Halloween?

I like it! Creepy, but not overly creepy. Anyway, myself, I’m just trying to make a decision on what to be. I’ve thrown around a few ideas, but unlike some of my friends I don’t plan out my Halloween costumes five years in advance. I probably won’t even dress up after this year.

Yeah, believe it or not, I’ve never actually been trick-or-treating myself. All my costumes have been for Halloween parties. Good luck coming up with an idea.

How did that even happen? I mean, every child goes trick-or-treating!

I grew up attending a church that did not believe in celebrating Halloween. (I’ve since left.)

Ah, that makes sense.

I think it would work nicely for a Halloween party! For Halloween I will probably write a flash fiction horror story for fun and then do some work. That’s probably about it. I really don’t do much outside of my regular routine, honestly.

Cool! If you do end up writing one, send it my way.
October 1st, 2012 at 9:06 pm
How? What precisely do you mean by send it your way? I don’t know exactly where to send it . . .
