How Many Halloween Costumes Are Enough?

Some people go to a Halloween party...but someone I know goes to Halloween partieS!

(I think her real name is Party Girl.)

She was a witch at one party. (The pointy hat kept falling off, but she kept her witchy purple hair, with one magical streak of blonde.)

Then, at ANOTHER party, she was Cinderella! (Oh, yeah, she's got the princess attitude, bearing, AND sparkly dress. No question that she's royalty!)

And then when we went to the haunted Desert Gardens, she was fearless Malificent! Nothing scared her. (She just scared it right back!)

If that's not enough, she was Pumpkin Girl at home. (It even looks like she has little pumpkins on her head!)

So if you're a party person, you'd do well to hang out with Carolyn.

Do you like to go to parties?

Or would you rather stay home?

Book Ideas are Everywhere

What would you think if you saw an apple rolled up against a store parking lot curb?

That it dropped from someone's cart?

That an obstinate child threw it on the ground because s/he wanted a candy bar instead?

That its chief aspiration in life was to become apple sauce, and it hoped a car would pull up close enough to the curb to make its dream come true?

The first thing that came to mind was that it was a poisoned apple, and a witch lay in hiding, waiting for a hungry, health conscious, five-second-rule passerby to pick it up. 

Then she could entrance him/her to go into the store and pay for all the witch's groceries, which would consist mainly of candy.

What would the witch do in your story?
