I’m struggling today.
I had written a thing for H about a man named Henry, but on
reflection I didn’t like it and have deleted it.
It was a two part story about a man named Henry who had a
gun to his head. Beyond the first sentence I had no idea what was going to
happen and I just kept writing.
I had done around four or five hundred words and posted it
last night.
As I drifted off to sleep I realised that it just wasn’t
good enough and I had no idea what so ever how to finish it.
So I got rid.
In retrospect, as I write this, I now realise that THIS post
is no better.
If anything it’s worse. There is no suspense, no drama, no
gun and so far, only a passing mention of the main character – Henry.
I’ve buggered up really. Maybe I will post “Henry” at some
point in the alphabet, when it’s a bit more polished.
I don’t like to try too hard with posts (as you can tell!). I like to just type
and see what happens. But today, for some reason, it’s all gone a bit wrong.
The Letter H is more rubbish than the letter B I think.
Sorry.
Well I think you are doing fine Mr H, the fact you are trying to write about Henry rather than Mr H shows great modesty, and in your effort to remain a Modest Man (if I had not already finished M I would be thinking OOooooooo right now) Henry is not playing ball, much like your dog (HAH HAH AH HAH HAH HAH AHH AH Ahah ha hhahahaha ha ha), I think the best thing you can do if forget Henry and never mention his name again.
ReplyDeleteIgor his brother seems a much better bet, all that playing with insecticide in Ipswich sounds dead interesting....
Modesty has nothing to do with it Rob.... I'm just too thick to come with something as obvious as that.... DAMN! hahahahaha
DeleteMr H, I read the original post about Henry and I wish that you had kept it up.
ReplyDeleteI was gripped by the end and really wanted to know what the secret was.
Hope you do re-post it at some point. :)
ah! that was you was it? I knew at one person has read it, but didn't realise it your good self. I will at some point in the A-Z bring back Henry. I may even do a choose your ending style post.... got to keep it fresh. :)
DeleteThere's always hope!
ReplyDelete'I' will be here soon.... see what 'I' did there
ouch my sides :D

Hey there Ficticiousamo (did i get that right?) I have actually managed to get myself ahead of schedule and am quite proud of I, even though none of it is my own work... but all will make sense. stay tuned!
DeleteI love this post, it shows you are only Human, and struggle with writing, just like I do!!
ReplyDeleteThankyou Madeline. It is true that I am human but only just and struggle with thinking more than anything... haahhahahaha.
DeleteLove the post, but I do hope 'Henry' gets an airing as well.
ReplyDeleteHenry will make his mark in the world in one form or the other. As I said on your blog a few days ago, I have millions of half finished bits of work and never ever delete anything. you never know when it might come in handy.
DeleteStupid letter H, making you feel bad! Not to worry, there's another letter coming up tomorrow :D
ReplyDeleteYea, the flippin' idiot letter... What's it's problem. Half the time it's silent like in which and hello (!) it's so pretentious, like a hipster (what ever one of them is) or something.
DeleteJust realised that Which and Hello are two magazines.... there could be more to this than meets the eye.. hmmmmmm. <--- THERE IT IS AGAIN. It's now at the beggining of my thoughts... I'm outa here. eek! :)
