Halloween is my favorite holiday. It is the day and night in which you are encouraged to be someone or something you are not. It is the time you can allow your alter ego to run free without the fear of repercussions. As a writer putting on a costume is like a three dimensional form of the written word, another form of freedom. Halloween is an unofficial kickoff to the major holiday season of the year and as a writer of dark fiction I have found that for as much light and happiness this time of year brings there is plenty of darkness to explore. Enjoy this time, my readers and my fellow writers, as darkness is a time to dig deeper into yourself, pull back new layers and see what you find!
The changing of the season has brought on my first cold so as I enjoy the Halloween holiday it is with the burden of a runny nose and scratchy throat that I write this. Karma is always the great balance of my life!
