Remember when you first started your blog and didn’t know a single blogger? I sure do. It was a bit of a scary undertaking, not to mention a bit lonely as you wonder if anyone is ever going to read your posts. Every time I hit “Publish” I felt a bit nervous.
I don’t usually do this, maybe because I’ve never thought to do it, but allow me to direct your attention over to a new blog Steve Vernon just started today. Friday the 13th ? Oh yeah. Steve’s a writer of of horror and ghost stories, so Friday the 13th sounds like a good time for beginning a new blog, don’t you think?
Recently Steve has penned a young adult novel titled “Sinking Deeper: Or My Questionable (Possibly Heroic) Decision to Invent a Sea Monster ”
I’ve read it and it’s great!
So head on over to SteveVernonStoryTeller and say hi! I bet he’ll appreciate it, being new to the blogging world and all.

/ May 14, 2011When I first started blogging I wasn’t scared that nobody would read what I had written, I was scared that they would! When I saw I had my first comment I had butterflies in my stomach. What if this person didn’t like my post? What if they didn’t like me? Now I love getting comments 🙂

Okay, so I have to mention that you’re comment is (naturally) number 13. How fitting for a horror writer. Don’t you think?

As usual, I’m the cow’s tail – always behind. 😉
I’m on my way to Steve’s blog now, but .. horror? um, that’s scary! and I don’t like scary, but maybe I will have to give his book a try. Think I can handle it?
Thanks for the wonderful support you are to other writers and wannabe’s. Blessings.

/ May 21, 2011Oh no, Lynn, Steve’s new book is YA and far from being horror although he does write both horror and ghost stories. I don’t think you’ll be frightened at all. Steve’s writing style is quite refreshing and the book is for young and old as YA books tends to be.
