Happy Halloween, everyone!

October 31, 2011 by Ally Carter 57 Comments

Hi gang!

Are you having a happy Halloween?  I sure hope you are. 

I turned in the FINAL version of GG5 over the weekend, so I am really looking forward to tonight.  Candy! Spooky tiny people coming to my door!  It’s going to be epic.

Now what does it mean that I’ve turned int the final version of GG5?  Simple, it means that I will never again change, alter, or write a word for GG5.

*insert picture of Ally FREAKING OUT!

Does this mean that the book will come out early?  No.  Sadly, even though my work is done there is still a lot of work that has to happen before the book can hit stores (which will still be in March 2012 here in the US and Canada.  For international release dates, please check with a local book seller.)

What do I do next, you might wonder.

Well, I’m going to walk on my treadmill; take a shower; and give out some candy.

And then tomorrow morning I start Heist Society 3.

Happy Halloween, everyone!  Be safe out there tonight, and have a great day!

Ally

 

ps Please take this suvrvey for me and Molly so we can help bring you lots of new content πŸ™‚

    Tomorrow? Today? It’s surreal. GG5 is finished. The written work is absolutely, completely finished. Right now, in my house, I can know for a fact that Ally is not pounding away at her keys, giving a little more information on Mr. Solomon or Cammie’s dad. And tomorrow, I can think that the first fresh words of Heist Society 3 are being released. Knowing that somewhere at that time, Ally is writing something that I will be fiercely anticipating. It gives me shivers.

    SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ YAAAAY!!!

    There was a snowstorm and my whole town lost power. Power lines were down too, so the mayor postponed halloween to Friday. It was too dangerous with all the live wires to go trick or treating. So I’m all depressed that I have to wait to get candy and I have to wait to wear my awesome costume. Oh well. lol

    Wow!!! You are a busy, busy. busy writer! Thanks so much!!!

    As much as I dislike this holiday-no, I am NOT a Halloween hater; I just extremely dislike the scary factor (traumatized as a little kid- you know)-…….
    HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!!!!

    I got hit by the storm too. It was really bad. We went trick or treating on Friday, so we are good, but we STILL don’t have power. It’s been like this since Saturday. And I’m living at my grandma’s( for heat throughout the storm) with 11 other people. My familly an my uncles. Wish me luck. We have heat, but no light here so… Well, you can just say it’s a bit hard to study for a test on bacteria and viruses when 10 other people are living with you, and your only light is from Vanilla cake and cinnamon spice candles. It was hard enough with 5 other people. POWER COME BACK ON! πŸ™

    Random question, I know this is NaNoWriMo… is it coincidence that you’re starting HS3 on Nov. 1 or are you doing NaNoWriMo again?

    *sigh*
    i wish i had a happy halloween. but living in southern NH in one of the worst hit towns by the record-breaking October Nor’Easter, halloween is non-existent this year. 17 inches of snow tends to put a damper on it.
    well, technically, my town has post-poned trick or treating until next sunday. but its not the same when its not ACTUALLY on halloween. it’d be like going on an easter egg hunt in july. or having thanksgiving in december. or celebrating new years two weeks into the new year.
    and my best costume idea yet- a cool bean (i say it all the time, i might as well dress up as it!!)- gone to waste.
    so all i can do is sigh. and wish that the snow would melt off of my jack-o-lanterns. and finish reading the death cure by james dashner (SO GREAT) so that i can re-read the GG series. and wait to have school again. and wait to have my power again. and wait to have internet at my house so that i don’t have to spend 2 hours in jam-packed Panera Bread to be able to catch up in all the author blogs i follow (including this one!!).

    P.S. If you’re wondering why someone on the survey put their age as 1, they most likely meant 13… *cough cough*…

    ours was cancelled……..we had too much snow, and no one had power, and no one had heat with like 20-30 degrees outside, so the town wouldn’t let us go……….but on the bright side i got to eat all of our lefover candy!
