Big News! Halloween Haiku is rebranding

I’m in the process of redoing my blog. Halloween Haiku is changing its name to Halloween Horror Haiku. There will be a new web address, but until then, I can still be reached at Halloweenkristy@gmail.com

The transfer will happen soon and it might take a bit of time, so please bear with me. You may notice little changes here and there. I’m hoping not to lose any content in the transfer. Fingers crossed and any good vibes you can spare, I’d appreciate them.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while. I was going to wait until 2022, but I realized there’s no reason to wait. Plus, I wanted to secure the domain name.

I thank everyone for sticking with me on the journey thus far. I hope you’ll stay around to see the cool things I have in store for my blog.
