Why Another Blog

Conventional wisdom has it that if we cling to the hobbies we had in our youth, we’ll be more fulfilled as we get older.  That’s why I started the horror blog, “Just Dread-Full” (www.justdreadfull.wordpress.com).  When I was younger, I reveled in ghost stories with good friends and binged on horror movies over the weekend.  When I re-discovered this passion, I combined it with my interest in writing and decided to blog about all things mild to moderately terrifying.  My blog is young and slowly growing, but I very much enjoy running it by reading and writing about horror.
