The Story of The Henchman - Author's Note

Picture taken from: Jimmy Wellington

I do not want everyone to think that I have not been working on my supposed short story of "The Henchman" or have given up on this blog. The answer to that is Nope, I am still writing, rough drafting and noting. Just with everything that is going on in my life, needed to focus a bit on those external distractions before moving on to something more personal and rewarding to myself. Now while I am still working on the first chapter, I want to give a bit of a background not about the story but about the titles that I have decided to go with. 


When I started writing the first chapter, I wanted to make sure I gave it a title that quickly described what the chapter and mood of the story would be about. So at first I was going to go with popular English Lit titles that I had read in the past and use that as title chapters, that didn't work out as well as I thought. So as I was scratching my head here at the office the song "Fear the Reaper" came on, and that's when it hit me. Instead of going with popular English Lit titles I would go with classic songs (all genres). Here are all the titles that I have decided to go with:

Chapter 1: Unforgettable
Chapter 2: Echoes
Chapter 3: Darkness on the Edge of Town
Chapter 4: Diary of a Madman
Chapter 5: The Man Who Sold the World
Chapter 6: Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere
Chapter 7: Fear the Reaper
Chapter 8: You Can't Always Get What you Want
Chapter 9: Hero
Epilogue:   Life Goes On

Again I cannot wait to clean and write the final draft for Chapter 1: Unforgettable, but at least you see where I am going with the story.

Thank you for sticking around and hope to have something up soon.
