Who Are We?

The Failed Attempt is one writer's blog designed to expose the author's work to criticism, cynicism and enjoyment.

Cuz you know you do.

A Little Update from the Writer at "The Failed Attempt"

Another day, another dollar I am not making running this hoblog (Get it? Its hobo+blog=hoblog?). Now, I don't have an actual post this time because I haven't written anything yet. The weekend was very long and very not conducive to writing anything. But, I do have a few things lined up for you and this sneak peek is to make you salivate for more of our gourmet Failed Attempts.
1) GRADES FOR THE ENGLISH HOMEWORK ARE IN!!!!! Understand now, that all three posts count as one essay to these people. It is a three part essay. So, the official grade for the three part essay is- B (range of 87-89% on the honors grading system). This is the best grade I have ever gotten from the people who grade my papers. Isn't that sad? Kudos to my little big brother for helping me with that assignment.
2) We have more from
"2057" coming out in three days. I promise...
3) There will be a brand new piece coming out sometime next week and I promise there will be more of it than usual. However, I cannot promise any endings. There is this one thing that happens when writing fiction for a blog, you don't get any endings. Writers take a long time to round things out, so in another year, 2057 might actually be finished, but I am going to make you suffer from uncertainty for it.
4) We will have a true story told by a "Guest from Beyond the Grave." I'll give you a hint, he was from Tennessee and served in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Okay, so salivate away! Must dash...
