Fun Combined with Distraction - 2020's Prescription
With so many challenges in 2020, finding distracting things to do has been priority number one for my family and me.Simply enjoying each other's company and being grateful for what we do have has been a priority in our life these past several months. But truth be told, it's still a conscious effort to keep the mind clear and hope alive. Life has a way of sneaking up and challenging our sanity. Sometimes getting back to the basics is the best solution.
So that brings me to riddles. Lol. Truth.
I decided to write riddle books as a form of entertainment and distraction. Strangely enough, I started writing them in late 2019. Premonition maybe? To date, I've self-published five riddle books. My latest book is Halloween Riddles, featured below.
Available on Amazon |
When I created the books, and the related website, "StumpedRiddles.com," my tag line for both became, 'turn the world off with a smile.'
My latest project, Halloween Riddles, was a time-consuming venture. It involved approximately three months from writing to publishing. It was published on Amazon in August 2020.
This book features eighty riddles divided into eight chapters. The chapters are Unseen Halloween, Dead Halloween, Costumes, Halloween Food, Halloween Decorating, A Famous Cartoon, Halloween Emotions, and Halloween Noises.
The book was written for the avid Halloween fans and for parties.
You Can Also Solve Riddles Online
I built StumpedRiddles.com to coincide with the published riddle books.
The site features a growing list of originally written riddles to solve. When you need a mindless activity, head over at your leisure to tackle a few.
Some of the riddles are unique to the website, while others are from the already published riddle books.

Oh, what the heck, I'll give you one more to ponder:

Riddles might seem mundane, but these days, that's a feature, not a bug!
I created the books for multiple purposes: Parties, Games, Loot Bags, Stocking Stuffers, Mental Challenges, Family Gatherings, and of course, Distraction.
Have fun, and lose yourself in brain teasers :)
We all need distractions at times, and having such fun ones as Riddles seems perfect. The Halloween ones sound delightful and I have a relative who is the worlds biggest fan of Everything Halloween. Couldn't be more perfect.

ReplyDeleteHow great that you publish Riddle books! I am intrigued by them anyway and now they seem like necessary distractions from the world at large. Congratulations! Wish you every success. Will take a peek at them.
ReplyDeleteHeather thank you!
DeleteWow Barbara, another one? You certainly have the knack for riddles and puzzles to keep me on my toes. Then again, I'm not very good at riddles, but maybe with some study I could get better. Good Luck with the newest venture and the website!
ReplyDeleteAwesome about your riddle books! (I'm terrible at riddles. Absolutely terrible).
