First Post Challenge

June 22, 2015 · by John W. Howell · in Uncategorized · 21 Comments

I have been nominated by Charles Yallowitz for a fun project. It is called First Post Challenge. The idea is to list your first post as a ping back to the original and then nominate five other bloggers to do the same.

So here is my first post on Fiction Favorites. I was pleased to see it got two likes. Probably by the only two who read the piece. It was about Kurt Vonnegut my hero.

Here are my five:

What made you write about Kurt Vonnegut for your first post? (Nice to read it by the way.)

  I loved him and figured he would be my choice to sit and talk to if that were possible. Since that was impossible I picked him as the first of a series. Thanks L Marie for the visit.

Interesting first post. I’m curious what made you write that as your first post. Did you already plan on being a published author with a blog at that point?

  Yes I thought it would be cool to do a number of authors and found after a while no one wanted to hear about them. So I had to switch it up.

    I wonder if you could do it now. There are a lot of ‘fan blogs’ about authors, so it might be something to do later after establishing an audience.

      I actually did several, but you may be right.

      Maybe I could throw a couple out and test the wind. Good idea. Thanks.

I love Kurt Vonnegut’s dry humor as well.

I’ll have to beg off this time, John, but thanks for thinking of me! (BTW, my first post was really just a typical bitch session about publishing. What else is new?)

Any man who loves Vonnegut is a bro to yours truly!
