Creative Writing

Is fun. Anyone else like to just write when they are bored? What have you written?

You can share and critique others work here as well.

Math is just too solid for me, as many people elaborated on the Math thread.

Re: Creative Writing

I once wrote a short story out of boredom that I submitted for an English assignment because I had nothing else.  That being said, I submitted it without actually reading it, as I was writing without reading it.

My teacher handed it back and said it was really good, so I reread it.  It was really depressing... about a guy locked in a room for eternity and slowly going mad.

Re: Creative Writing

I write when I have something to write, which isn't usually until the midnight hours

I wrote a song and started a story last night, the story being centered around a party the narrator attends, the only person he meets there, the crash that kills him on his way home, and what happens afterward [A majority of the story is what happens afterward, but the beginning is quite lengthy too]

Only he gets a lot of flashbacks because he's like dead and looking back on life so it really drags on

I would love to read that.

I'm writing a rather depressing story about a boy who can't help being depressed, or maybe more so a boy who wants to be depressed because the world makes sense to him when he is. I've started it but the idea is still largely being worked on.

We creative writers of Scratch . . . seem to like dark stories.

Re: Creative Writing

I wrote a few-thousand-word story from the point of a view of a man who rambled on seemingly endlessly about how a man named David hated him immensely and made his life a living hell, then he proceeds to describe a typical day in his life. At this point the reader can infer he is in a mental hospital, with his schedule being incredibly bland and in-captive like, and his thoughts being so twisted and uncertain

And then at the end a nurse says "The doctor is here for a visit, David." :>

Re: Creative Writing

Here's a piece from that story I'm working on:

Life makes more sense when it's unhappy. We've all been thrown into a pool of despair and the ones who don't care and just go on will be the ones that live the longest. I found my brothers journal today, and since he was gone I looked through it. Most of it was your terribly bland entries, not that any journal entries are ever interesting to anybody besides the author that thinks they will be worth something someday or whatever. It's like, the only time words in a journal have meant that much is when 6,000,000 people died in the subject matter. That's the sad way the world works and you have to learn to live with.

Re: Creative Writing

"I Had No Reason For Writing This"

I often dont know what to write
Til I start to let the worlds flow
Then they tend to come and go

As I sit here righting this
I'm unsure of its purpose
What is the reason for it

Why do I write this poem write now
Why not just go milk a cow
Or something of the sort

Why do I keep on writing
As I'm writing I keep on typing
But why do I

Do I sit here because it's fun
Wouldn't I much rather enjoy the sun?
Wait, the sun's not out

I don't know the reason for lots
Maybe we're all robots
Maybe I should stop worrying either way

Re: Creative Writing

I've been writing satire for my school's paper recently. Well, not too recently, for homework has prevented my from such leisure activities... Anyways, here's a piece not yet published, and a bit out of date  wink


Seniors Scramble to Drop AP Sleep before Quarter Ends

Thursday, November 3— and only a few hours after their first test, nearly every student enrolled in Advanced Placement Sleeping at Nicolet attempted to suddenly drop the class.
    “I didn’t mean for [my test] to be that hard,” claimed the course’s instructor Mr. Insom, “I just wanted it to challenge even the laziest of students… They do know I’m curving it, right?” Based on student reactions, that was likely not the case.
    “I studied all night!” furiously complained student Bill Sterner before falling asleep on his desk. Later, he followed up, “Huh… What… OH! Oh, right… The no-blindfold portion of the test really messed me up. How are we actually supposed to fall asleep with strobe lights flashing and no way to cover our eyes?”
    Distress was even more potent in less studious scholars.
    “It was just too easy to cheat on the homework!” confessed an unnamed student in an extremely private interview, “I just had my cat do all of the homework for me. There’s obviously something wrong with the class, or at least certainly the teacher!”
Mr. Insom took offense to this comment. Only leaving once to enter grades into Skyward, he hid in the men’s bathroom for three days, sobbing about how he, “fought to make the class 1st hour” and “requested 5 hour energy and coffee be banned from being sold at the Nicolet cafeteria at least one week prior to any test.”
    There were also many complaints from parents that the class expected students to “just do too much darn work.”
    “Upon signing up for the class, [the course outline’s writers] did warn us that eight to ten hours a night should be spent on homework,” reported Ciera Broking, a confused parent, “but do they really expect any kid to have that much time?”
    Juan Leach, a student at White Fish Bay High School, said, “I was totally prepared for my first AP Sleep exam. I guess being forced to take Accelerated Study Hall I and II, along with Intro to REM, was actually a good thing!”
    Due to many complaints about the class from schools all across the nation, the Collage Board has decided to drastically adjust the course material for next year. They promised: to lessen the student’s need of mathematical proficiency by giving student’s their Sleep Number, rather than having them derive it for themself; to use cheaper technology to measure consciousness level, thus giving students an easier time “tricking” the machine; to let test-takers listen to their iPods— as long as they’re not listening to lullabies; to reduce the difficulty of the desk-drooling portion of the test by grading it based on aesthetic appeal, rather than the student’s psychoanalytical interpretations of their work.

You seem to have a knack for satire. You definitely hit on all the common complaints of the average class, and applied the snoozy one run by Mr. Insom to it hilariously.
