A House With A Garden Gnome

I have many irritating difficulties while writing just about anything because I do not enjoy writing very much at all. That is my main problem with writing that makes tasks that involve writing hard. But a prime example of something that I found difficult would be any creative writing that I have ever done in any class setting because that is what I don’t like about writing the most. I find it very hard to think of an original story and write it down and keep the way that I wanted at the start of it. What I’m talking about is quite hard to explain but I will attempt to with this short little essay.
I remember when I was in fourth grade sitting in class writing a story about a man afraid of garden gnomes because they were constantly eating …show more content…
In this story a man named Carl Shoe owned a house with a garden, this garden won many award. I never went in detail about how much he loved his garden I just said he owned a garden and it won many awards. So he has a garden and he needs to keep it nice or he’ll lose the house. Why? How? To this day I could never think of a reason why he would lose his house because of something so trivial as a garden but that just proves my point, this story is terrible. But that isn’t the whole story, oh no, it goes further. So a little bit later into this story he buys garden gnomes. Because every nice garden has garden has gnomes, right? Well that was his reasoning if I remember …show more content…
Now these gnomes seemed normal but in reality they were alive and ate gardens. Not only is that uncreative and stupid, it only gets worse from there. Now instead of destroying these demons Carl, the main character if you’ve forgotten, break dances with them. He danced with these monsters for no reason other than to get them out of the garden for good. How did he know that would work and why would he do it in the first place? I don’t know either and I wrote the piece, because I never explained it, it just worked out in the end.
That was the end of that story too, it just ended like that with no real epilogue or reasoning behind any of it. Also I think I stole the idea from an episode of the twilight zone I saw when I was younger. That is why I hate writing so much now at least in the creative sense. I think maybe if I actually cared about school at that time it could have maybe been better but i’m not sure about that either. I remember that story very vividly because how much I use it as an example of why I don't enjoy creative writing. That is pretty much when it started and even back then I did not like the
