There is an old proverb that states it doesn’t matter how often you stumble and fall as long as you get up one time more than you fall. My first attempt at blogging fizzled, but I’m here to try again.
I’m Stephanie Shackelford and this last year has been full!I moved twice during that time, once from out of country, then a few months later to a different area on the other coast. I wasted no time getting involved in both those areas while there. That accounts for some of the reasons for not writing consistently in this blog. Truth be told, though, there is a small voice inside me that keeps insisting that, while I could patter on about all kinds of things, surely I don’t have anything of significance to write about. So why bother?
I’m an aspiring novelist, though. Someday soon I hope to be a published one. I want to connect with those, hopefully many, people who read my stories. One of the best ways to do that is a blog. It is also touted as a sound marketing step by numerous other authors and their publicists. If there are people who will want to read my books, it seems reasonable that many of them might also want to know a little about the author. So putting my ramblings up on the Web for all to read might not be so arrogant after all. Even if it is, I’m ignoring that voice and listening to the one urging me to “Get up and get busy!” Hope to see many more here soon.
