8.2.2025 11:04A First QuestionDoes it have to be up?
2.6.2024 19:59but do we grow up?The human brain has been described as the most complex structure in the known universe.– Some Human Confidently Hah, I thought I thought. I think I thought I heard someone laugh. What was it that was so funny? What could they have encountered that shook them so? What was it that brought this on? I […]
23.4.2024 11:33I may have laughedWhat have we learned? It’s not so simple. There are components tenuously but critically connected to everything. Don’t touch this, don’t even think about pulling that, and what do you think you’re doing with that one? Put it down carefully and step away. Two or three kilometers would be a good start. No, we’ve learned, […]
15.4.2024 14:36going the distanceExuberant. Elated. Joy. It slips off, that joy. It finds rest on the floor from where it cannot fall further. We’ll leave it there for now since we have other things that require our attention. What we may do is push it under the desk with the metal tipped toe of our boot. Later, when […]
15.3.2024 06:32Unhinged JoyWhat it is and what it isn’t. A scene where the MC exits the misty cloud forest onto a crustal block that had slid down the crater wall. I’ve seen it so often play out in my mind’s eye and yet I still don’t know how I will write it. It’s exhausting and of course […]
6.3.2024 11:19landfill metaphorsI write because I am. I am before I write. Write, me. But before I go on, let’s step back and take a good look at this word: Balk. It can also appear in the form: Baulk. Either way, I want to suggest caution and vigilance. When you encounter this word, mark your surroundings, recognize […]
2.3.2024 20:10The balkHere is an island and there is an island, and then for thousands of miles there is only water. The islands are not that big either, and, yes, there are many smaller islands scattered around and between them. They’re in the Pacific Ocean and I’ve never felt so alone. Is there a hospital? What if […]
14.2.2024 19:19lunch and islandsWe must continue. If there is anything else we can do be sure to let me know. Send me a memo. A sticky note on the iPad screen. Text me. @me. I will respond in a timely manner. I’m not holding my breath. It is a gigantic sheet of paper, isn’t it? A writer’s dream, […]
11.2.2024 14:12Moving on to a new MetaphorOrigami. An infinite sheet, folding, unfolding, refolding, and a hard-headed infolding. The Plane of Immanence. I’m desperately holding on to this origami metaphor so I don’t get shaken off. It’s a rough ride, a bucking magic carpet ride over the plains of innocence, the plains of ignorance. The past, the present and the future are […]
4.2.2024 15:01some three dimensional helix with light conesIn reply to <a href="https://hjholland.wordpress.com/2021/06/29/introspective-ride-on-thermals/comment-page-1/#comment-21">mattmattheisen</a>. Thank you. I haven't read Eunia but have now added it to my books to read. Lipograms...never heard of them. I cannot even imagine how one would go about writing one. Always something new to learn, obviously. Thanks again.
30.6.2021 10:39Comment on Introspective Ride On Thermals by Henry J. HollandWonderful imagery and insight. And your sentence structure mirrors the attendant thought process when writing. Bursts of various energies. Reducing the number of possibilities...Have you ever read Christian Bok's Eunoia?
29.6.2021 16:36Comment on Introspective Ride On Thermals by mattmattheisenIn reply to <a href="https://hjholland.wordpress.com/2021/06/29/introspective-ride-on-thermals/comment-page-1/#comment-19">Tom</a>. Yeah, thinking about them is easier than writing them, it seems. Maybe it's just me. :-D
29.6.2021 12:19Comment on Introspective Ride On Thermals by Henry J. HollandI've never thought of a sentence in such depth before!
In reply to <a href="https://hjholland.wordpress.com/2021/04/03/so-exciting-or-am-i-scared/comment-page-1/#comment-17">Alex Holland</a>. Laughter is always a good option :-D
16.4.2021 15:34Comment on So Exciting, Or Am I Scared? by Henry J. HollandI laughed so much reading this, that I cried... Not sure if i cried because it is actually quite sad or if it was just too hilarious? I have no idea 8)

13.4.2021 17:37Comment on A Reboot by TomIn reply to <a href="https://hjholland.wordpress.com/2021/04/11/in-the-works/comment-page-1/#comment-13">Tom</a>. For now I think I'll just write as if this is a journal. I will finish the novel one day and then I will get back to these ideas for other stories. Or that's the theory anyway.
12.4.2021 09:37Comment on In The Works by Henry J. HollandIn reply to <a href="https://hjholland.wordpress.com/2021/02/21/a-reboot/comment-page-1/#comment-12">Tom</a>. Yes, I think I will just keep going and, like you, see it as an experiment. The social awkwardness, the anxieties - some days are worse than others. Fortunately, I don't have to actually say anything, I can just write. :-)
12.4.2021 09:35Comment on A Reboot by Henry J. HollandI just write and post. If I think, I get stuck. I do think a lot... and get stuck a lot... but somehow get through it!
