Welcome to the tenth Creative Perspective Challenge! I can’t believe only two more challenges are left this year. In honor of Halloween, I went through many haunted castles, stairs, and houses and settled on this one. Can’t wait to see what creativity comes from this.
All you have to do is write a poem or flash fiction story and post it on your website. Leave your link in the comments for the post, and I’ll post it with mine next week. If you don’t have a website and want to join in, send it to me, and I’ll post it with the results. More information here. See my updates below.

I’ll post the results on October 21st!
Today I’m visiting with Teri Polen for Bad Moon Rising. Love it if you would stop by and say hello. LINK
I’m also over on Story Empire today. LINK
UPDATES
- Also, I finally got my fiber optic internet! Yay! Whole new world, but what I found is that there are many things to update to work with it. So that has been time-consuming, and I’ve filled a box with things I no longer need from my DSL and landline. That has kept me busy.
- Please forgive my absence as I put away old phone cords and try to figure out a new security camera that hopefully the only intruders it records are bears, our resident ravens, and other forest creatures.
- I plan to resume my regular schedule starting in November. The last two weeks of this month are booked solid. Next week, I have my youngest grandkids for their fall break, and their dog will be coming along for a couple of days. My cats will not be happy about the dog visit, but love the kids. Then, the last week of October, I’m on vacation.
- I will still do the results next week on the 21st and have a wonderful guest posts on the 23rd and 28th!

Yay, I’m glad the fiber optic is installed! Enjoy. Oo, so many possibilities with this image prompt…
Thank you, Priscilla. I’m leaving the 90s behind…lol. So many possibilities, I hope it inspires 🙂
I sent you an email with my Creative Perspective Challenge response.🙂
Got it! Huge thanks and can’t wait to share it 🙂
Congrats on the upgrade! I think you’re going to like it.
Thank you, Jacqui 🙂 You are right I do like it, a lot! Nice to not watch the spinning circle anymore and to be able to comment so easily 🙂
Hurray for your fiber optic internet!! It should make life a lot easier. Clicking over to Bad Moon Rising.
Thank you, Liz. Yes once it’s all set up things will be much easier! See you there xo
You’re welcome, Denise.
Yay for the upgrades! But as you say, they bring a while new set of problems. 🙂 Enjoy the grandkids! Your house and heart will be full. I’ll do my best to participate in this challenge.
Thanks Jan 🙂 A long time coming. Most of our tech is 90s.I’m looking forward to visiting pumpkind patches and other Halloween stuff. Fingers crossed you can find the time but I know how busy you are too! Xo
Hi Denise, have a fun two weeks. We have fire and 5G as backup for when we work from home. This is a good prompt.
Should be lots of fall fun here, thank you Robbie. Always good to have backup and now I have that option. Thank you, I couldn’t pass up this image.
I’m glad your fiber optic is installed, Denise! No human intruder is great. You must look forward to a little break. 😊
Thank you Miriam. We are moving out of 90s tech and I’m loving how much better everything works. Definitely don’t want a human lurking around. I am looking forward to a break and some fun with grands xo
We have security cameras, and caught only animals so far.
They are nice to have. Our house doesn’t face road so it let’s me know when deliveries come. I love the bonus of seeing animals 🙂
It surely helps to see who’s coming to your door. ☺️
The fiber optic should be really good, Denise. Just about everyone needs to take a break occasionally.
It really is Timothy! So many things I can do now 🙂 Yes breaks are good for us to recharge.
I’m so jealous you got fiber optic! I’ve been waiting for years, but they haven’t gotten to our street yet. Have fun with the grandkids, Denise!
We weren’t going to get but a determined nieghbor fought hard to get it in our area. 200 lucky people are approved for it. I hope it makes it to you, Teri! Looking forward to some Halloween grandparent time with grands. Xo
I am glad you’ve got the fiber optic internet. Congratulations Denise and enjoy your break.
Pretty excited, Balroop for the optic fiber. Never thought we’d get it here. Looking forward to the break xo
Yay for finally having that fiber optic internet. It’s not Ripple is it?
You have a full rest of the month for sure.
As far as the challenge….I’m thinking…..;) xo
Sandra
Thanks, Sandra. Long overdue! No, it’s just a local guy who started his own company. It will be a busy couple of weeks for sure, but fun ones. xo
PS. I pit stopped by, Teri’s but was unable to leave a comment. Fun interview:)

Sandra
Thank you! Happy you dropped by, sorry you couldn’t comment. xo
I’m glad the upgrade is installed, Denise. Enjoy your break, and I’ll see you next month. I’m truly enjoying your book! 💕
I’m so happy to have it. They weren’t fixing our DSL so it was a challenge to use. Can’t believe the difference. Thank you, Lauren. I know I’ll enjoy hanging out with the grands and then hubby. So excited to hear you are enjoying the collection. Yay! xo
