Don't forget that next Wednesday is Insecure Writer's Support Group time! If you've been thinking about participating, now's a good time to jump in.

Of Interest:
This being Halloween week, I thought I'd pass along a Flavorwire article on The 50 Scariest Short Stories of All Time, by Emily Temple. Thanks for passing this along, DeAnna! The best part about this list is that it links to where you can read some of these stories for free online. So go read some scary short stories!
And here's a Short List of 20 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Stephen King. What scares the King of Horror?
Any of these of interest to you? Anything to add or share? Publication news? Are you considering posting for IWSG next week?
May you find your Muse.

Sounds like there was so much going on at the Con that you didn't need to leave the hotel. As for the markets, I like the bikes in space idea. And I love to read Edgar Allen Poe stories this time of year.
That was a great view from you hotel. Can't believe it's almost the end of October.
Had a great view indeed at your feed and yep iwsg posts all done until may at my sea lol
I like reflections in buildings too, Shannon, and that's a nice one you captured. It's the only aspect of modern buildings that I like, and the view they usually offer.
Re your previous post on the Con:
I found after attending one conference, I didn't have as much appetite for going again. I learned a little, and I didn't stay the full time. Best parts to me were meeting Don Maass and Diana Gabaldon in a one on one situation (a pitch and a crit).
Wow! That view IS awesome. If I wasn't in the middle of a blog tour and all about blogging, I totally would have needed your reminder about IWSG. It's getting to be that time of the year, right? Too many details to keep straight.
Unleashing the Dreamworld
Tell you what: Denver can be quite beautiful this time of year!
And thanks for the tips on open markets :D.
That is a really cool reflection. So clear.
Thanks for mentioning the IWSG next week!
I want to want to go read the King thing, but I don't care enough to want to.
Great view. I need to think up of an IWSG topic.
Thank you for the links.
Shell, there was definitely no need to leave. We could have easily eaten there, too, but we had places we wanted to go instead.
Susan, this year has gone exceedingly fast.
Pat, wow! You've moved way on ahead. I always do it the night before since my insecurities change. :p
D.G., and reflections in water for photos! I pretty much felt that way about MHC, but for me it's also a weekend away from the kiddos, with friends, so it's worth it for that alone. If it were more than $40, it wouldn't be worth it to me, though.
Crystal, definitely. It's one of the busiest times of year for writers, isn't it?
Giles, it can! To the west are the mountains, too, with that wave of colorful trees leading up to it.
Alex, not too bad for having been taken through another window. There are a few reflections on the actual window I'm looking through, though.
Andrew, ha! That's alright, it will not rock your world, most likely.
Medeia, I usually end up making it up on the spot.
