So have you woken up today with a candy hangover? Or worse, for those of age, a real hangover from partying too much? Well time to pack away the ghosts, goblins, ghouls, and drama queens (like that will happen ).

We had a little different week here at the GA news blog for this most festive weeks of the year.

Monday saw our monthly CSR Discussion Day. This month we not only had 1, not 2, but 3 stories, hahahaha (done in my best Count voice). Three stories were up for the month to be read and commented on. Gee Whillickers, Cynus and Bill W were our featured Authors. Cia asked all 3 some questions about their own experience with Halloween and how it played into their stories.

Wednesday was a very, very, very special treat with Renee giving us our 4th Word Search. If just the thought of doing a word search hadn't scared you away, then the fact that she scrambled up the words that you had to find must have sent everyone screaming and pulling their hair out. If you didn't get it all figured out, here at least is the unscrambled words:

Ghost, Pumpkin, Happy Halloween, Candy, Costumes, Bats, Spiders, Spooky, Trick or Treat, Scare, Jack-o-lantern, Haunted, Mummy, October, Witch, Vampire, Skeleton, Boo, Haunted House, Candy Corn, Monsters, Werewolf, Goblin

Friday was the most skariest Prompt Me! in a long, long, long time, as I had to do it for the first time. Actually it wasn't too bad as I took a couple of Comicfan's previous prompts from a couple of years ago. Both were creative ones, the first being a First Line of "Because, I'm leaving you". The second was using a Tag of 'Murder'. There may have been some insinuation that I may be eliminating certain staff here at GA, but I'm totally innocent . We also looked at prompts from the previous week by JohnAR, jamesavik and albertnothlit.
