I like to think that I Remember the Clown was a success.

From the people that told me they read it, also said they loved it, which is very nice to hear. But, it could just be them saying it out of sympathy, which is far, far worse.

So as the Halloween story came out pretty good, I think I'll continue to write stories from here. Then again, even if people didn't like it, I would continue writing these anyway.

I am in the process of writing something right now, and because I like to think I'm big and well-known, I'm going to pretend to tease you all by not telling you the title of it.

The story came about from a mini-competition in my school, which was to write anything under the title of "*** ******e**e*". Unfortunately, I managed to not finish the story by the due date of today (I was on a writing binge on the last few days and the story just kept getting longer.) But I sent it in anyway, and so it's just fingers crossed from here.

This story will be different from what I've been writing because it's in... wait for it (you'll be so shocked)... first person! Whoa! (I usually write in third person). The main reason for this, I think, is that the style was main inspired by a book I read recently called The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, which was, by the way, an amazing book. I do recommend. I might end up writing about that book in a post here at some point.

But anyway, I'd just like to thank all those that read I Remember the Clown, and those who come back to this blog! Thank you very much.

What's the Story?

Ah, my first story published (well, posted) onto the internet.

So, after however long it has taken me to write this, I can now let you lot enjoy it. Providing there is anyone actually reading this.

The story itself is titled I Remember the Clown, which hopefully doesn't give anything away.

I should put down a small blurb here, but I can't write one without making it sound really cheesy or ruining the whole plot (I'll get better at writing blurbs soon enough). But I'll give you a little go at a blurb anyway:

The book is about five trick or treaters that visit a house that they usually wouldn't visit, and the events that follow lead to even worse events.

To sum it up; classic Halloween.

If you would like to read it, please click here.

If you have anything to say about the book, or would like to do a review of some sorts, please comment it here. Or don't; do what you want.

(I do not recommend viewing the document on mobile...)

EDIT FROM 2016:

So looking back at this, I've realised that this story is basically almost a rib-off of Stephen King's It. (Which, I'd like to add, is actually a fantastic book.) So apologies if this upsets anyone. I mean, look, it's still a different story, but a lot of the same elements are there. Just — just ... please don't sue me or something. I'm only a kid, man! Sympathy?

Nevertheless, please do give my short story a read, and tell me what you thought. It could probably do with another read through, and a few corrections, from my part — but still, I enjoyed writing it, eh?

Right. I'm going to blog now.

The only struggle with doing this is that if anyone I know finds this, I could either be made fun of, or just be left completely embarrassed. So while writing this I need to pretend that someone I know is reading it.

I've tried blogging before, but I quickly discovered I didn't like doing it; I just felt a bit odd, you know? Also, the factor I mentioned in the previous paragraph could have something to do with it.

But unfortunately, I am blogging. I have a relatively good reason for this.

I want to be an author, and to be one, I am told, it is best to start blogging. I think it's so people recognise my stories or something - I don't know. But yes, that is why I am currently making this blog post.

And I should probably have something better to say on my first post but I don't have anything more to say other than the fact that I will post a Halloween story on here tomorrow.
