#L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge, October 30, 2019, Things that Scare Me!
Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge October 20, 2019, Things that Scare Me. That is a long list so lets get started.
1. Monsters under my bed scare me, Yeah I never got over that as a child. Now I have drawers under my bed but they have a recesses down the middle between the two stacks.
2. Dark rooms, scary and unexpected noises in a quiet house scare me. You know the stair creak as you crawl under the bed covers and you’re the only one home.
3. I have an over-active imagination. Which is why I write Paranoramal Romance/Mystery so my characters don’t scare me.
4. But my over-active imagination isn’t always a good thing. It works over time after watching things like horror movies. They scare me. So consequently I’m not allowed to watch them. My hubby hates when I leave every light in the house on all night. The utilities company loves me. LOL
5. I fear failure. I think that’s normal for most determined people. What do you think?
6. It used to scare me to put myself and my work out there. But to succeed as an author, you have to do it. So I sucked it up and did it in 2015, never looked back. Keeping in mind writing is subjective, not everyone is going to like your work. And people can be down right mean. I’ve gotten an thick skin and I’m all right with that. Not mean people.
7. I’m always scared of burning the toast. Yeah my toaster is not the best. That smell is awful and it lingers.
8. So tell me what scares you? Please list them in the comments.
Alas, I need to get back to my writing cave where deadlines loom, so let’s see what the other authors in this blog challenge claim as to what scares them. L&SR

Teaser from A VAMPIRE’S UNLIKELY ALLIANCE –
Stefan is a Native American vampire, former assassin for the Vampire Council. In a twist of fate, he now DJ’s the midnight shift for a small radio station in Whitefish, Montana, on the edge of Glacier National Park where his secret is safe until…
Born in Ireland, Brandy now works as a park ranger and trail guide in the park. During a full moon, Stefan and Brandy’s paths cross in a near physical collision on a trail. Their attraction is immediate and undeniable, almost as if fate demanded it.
Their union was foretold long ago in Irish folk tales where vampires and gryphons, warlocks and demons, witches and faeries must work together for the good of man and magic kind. Is a trip to Ireland the key to unraveling secrets and returning the magic? And even more importantly, will their love survive the trip?

Fear of failure is a good answer. I think a lot of us have the same fear!
While I do like certain horror movies, I have to watch them in the middle of the day. Even then they give me nightmares sometimes.
My post.
Glad to hear I’m not the only one. Thanks for stopping by Lydia!
I used to fear monsters under my bed or in the closet, but it was really the fact I was awake and bored and used it as an excuse to get Mom out of bed.
The monsters that scare me now are our politicians. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/
Boy do you have that right (politicians) Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate it!
Snakes. Fear of failure, fear of putting myself out there, yes! When I was young, I had a fear of the dark. Although I insisted that I got over it as I grew up, I did NOT like living alone in the country–daytime, fine. But at night, the strange cars sitting in my driveway, strange noises from the walk-out basement. Never mind that I knew those noises came from the house settling, etc., it was still spooky. When my husband and I lived in another state way, way out in the country, I swore I could hear voices from the basement sometimes. doors slamming–Once I even went into the kitchen to greet him when he came home only to find the door hadn’t been opened and no one was there. (He was a newspaper editor and often got home late at night.) So even though I insist I don’t believe in ghosts or spirits, I have had some odd experiences.
P.S. I love living in town now. LOL.
We share a few fears. Glad you live in town now. You have to admit those are Spooky occurrences regardless if you believe in the supernatural or not. LOL Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate it!
I don’t like the dark. Or the noises I hear when it’s dark. I blame Nancy Drew. 🙂
I totally get that. Hadn’t thought about Nancy Drew to blame. Good call! LOL Thanks for stopping by!
I actually had to stop watching “Criminal Minds” because my very active imagination kept thinking all that stuff could happen to me, and I was quite literally getting to the point I couldn’t sleep and didn’t want to leave the house. I’m here today: http://www.mariannearkins.com/wednesday-weekly-blogging-challenge-things-that-scare-me/
I totally agree with you, Criminal Minds is scary. Thanks for stopping by and sharing.
Everyone can probably relate to “fear of failure” AND it still scares me to actually put some of the things I love writing about out… I have countless of saved drafts that I just won’t post because of fear of the unknown. I hope I can look past my fear and actually start posting the things I want to.
Here is mine

Fear of failure, definitely. Horror movies do sometimes give me nightmares, but they’re generally nightmares that I enjoy so… yeah, I’m weird that way.
My answer is here
I agree with the overactive imagination and horror movies! I usually avoid them at all costs. Most of the time, they’re nothing close to what my own brain can come up with on a daily basis. They just have more jump scares, which I just find bloody annoying. 🙂
I couldn’t agree with you more. Thanks for stopping by!
Oh yeah, putting your work out there is scary. It’s like, here I did this thing, now come and make your comments. But it’s good. If you hadn’t put work out there, we wouldn’t be enjoying it. 🙂
Thank you so much Megan for the kind words and for stopping by. Happy Halloween!
Loved the post! Ghosts, as a rule, don’t scare me. Anything that can bite, or sting do. Best on your new book!
Thanks for stopping by llona!
