To Blog

After much prodding from my friend Sarah I've decided to blog...

For those of you who have seen the Corner Gas episode called "Hank Talkin" fear not I won't be writing about who would win in a fight between werewolves and robots. Nor will I talk about which super hero is stretchier.

Lee Horne is going to be my alter ego, my pen name if you will for my endeavors to be published in the future. It's quite a bit easier for potential readers or publishers to say "Hey have you read the latest Lee Horne book?" than to butcher my married name. Also since my genre of choice is Fantasy I'd like my gender to remain anonymous. For those of you who are wondering, Lee Horne is from Leanne (my middle name) and Horne (my maiden name). I also think that there was a great grandfather or something named Lee Horne in my family tree.

Now on with the blogging. I read an article not too long ago by the illustrious George RR Martin about the pitfalls of blogging authors. They spend so much time writing on their blogs that they forget to write on their novels. But you all know me and you all probably realize that my blogging will go in spurts of frequent updates and then none at all for months. Just like my writing.

I've never really blogged before, although used to have a "xanga" back in high school. The goal and intention of this blog is simply to keep a record of my writing progress as well as provide excerpts if they're requested. Of course I also wanted to grab the domain of Lee Horne as my chosen pen name before anyone else did.
