Welcome to #WEPFF - Write...Edit...Publish October Challenge - Deja Vu or Voodoo

Welcome writers! Are you ready for a spooky challenge?



OCTOBER is the month for screams and chills, ghosts and ghoulies, mystery and fear, and this month’s prompt is DÉJÀ VU OR VOODOO!.



Most WEP-ers go with horror for October but what if it isn’t your bag? No problem. Just interpret these prompts without a smidgen of anything extra-sensory. Amaze us with a romance or adventure flash without a drop of gore!



Lots of things can happen on Halloween or in October that doesn’t resemble horror…



A nightmare comes to life. A not-so-pleasant experience repeated after years. A vague memory that ends up being something more ominous. A house of horrors revisited with fearsome results. If you don’t scare us, impress us….



The Halloween challenge has proven to be a favorite, so get those stories churning.



If you need some inspiration give these stories a read: 10 Creepy Stories to Tell After Dark then make up your own “urban legend!”



Our August challenge was the first month that we welcomed the writers from the IWSG (Insecure Writers Support Group) and it was impressive. In case you missed the announcement, The WEP team have a GUEST POST on the IWSG website on August 6 that explains everything. Here is the link:


I hope we’ve tweaked your curiosity and ambition. We’d love to read your story so please, Sign up now.


Please remember to add WEP to your post title, so it's easily spotted. 


We like to have all participants on the blogroll, please have a quick scan and tell us if your blog is missing and email Renee if it's not there! yolandarenee@hotmail.com

The fifth pumpkin is kind of grumpy. This is the last time she’ll be hosting, although, never say never. I am off to other adventures, which I hope means more books. We’ll see, but other challenges await. 
Thank you, everyone, for your support!
Especially Denise, for giving me this once in a lifetime opportunity. I know that the WEP and the IWSG collaboration will prove a great success for everyone!
And WELCOME, Laura, I know you’ll have a blast being part of this unique writing group.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

    October is always superfun here at WEP.

    I dislike saying goodbye so I'm going with au revoir, 5th pumpkin.

    May your steps be on happy paths
    as you stride away
    and may they bring you back to us
    somewhere and someday :)

    I admit I'm all goosebumpy at the thought of all the funky, freaky, fearsome stories I'm going to read this month. What a fitting farewell to Renee! Nothing she likes more than horror and gore.

    Bring it on!!

    Those pumpkins are fun and freaky. Looking forward to being scared, even if I'm not a horror writer. But mysteries come in all shapes. Sorry to see you go, Renee just when I've joined. Although, I see you're hovering.

    Welcome Laura!
    I've signed up BUT when it comes to writing horror/scary stuff, I'm not very good.
    However, it's a great way to stretch the "horror muscles". I'll try.
    Yolanda, I'm sure you're going to have a blast with this batch of entries - horror is your thing!!
    Hey Denise! *waving* Hope my entry can scare you (even a little...we'll see...) Have fun reading the entries!
