13 Poetic Days of Halloween Contest 2025  (E) Let your spooky poetry shine. Oct. 13th 12:01 am WDC time. - closes 11:59 pm WDC Oct 25th #2328177 by A Warped Witch I Be

are over and I had a great time. But again, it's all about the definition. How do you define great? For me - it great included budgeting my time so I had time to work on creating the poems. That said, I hadn't watched any of these movies (except maybe ET when I was a kid) so I had to do some research. I watched all the movie trailers and reading the Wikipedia pages so I had a "feel" for the characters. I also had to research some of the poetry forms so I made sure I was accurate with them when I wrote them. The most challenging poems for me were the Shape poem and the Limerick poem. Out of all the movie inspired poems I'd be intrigued to watch "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Trick r Treat." oh - and "Practical Magic."

I can't imagine organizing and hosting and keeping track of the posters is easy so let me give a BIG SHOUT to A Warped Witch I Be who did a great job keeping us poets all together.

And, because of Habit Heroes, I've been slow, but steady progress my edit for "Gifts." It's a Christmas story, and I don't know if it will be ready for Christmas, but if it wasn't for Habit Heroes, I wouldn't have made the progress I have. I'm about 3/4 done. I'm going back and doing a bit of a content edit before I work on the ending.

I do know as the holidays gear up - finding time to work on personal projects will be challenging but hey, life is what happens when you're busy doing other things.

Smiles to all
