Scratch

I tried to write a novel for NaNoWriMo, but I only got 1/5 of the way through

I love to write!  I want to be an author when I'm older. 

Whenever I try to write, I usually accidentally make it kind of flat and emotionless so it doesn't come off as stupid or overreaching
This, I believe, is pretty much the best paragraph in my 'book' so far. It's really sarcastic, though.

But, of course, none of them knew how to do this. They had no experience with surviving somewhere alone. Max and Fynn, having both passed English 6.3 on e-School, had read The Swiss Family Robinson, though this was small comfort. The Swiss Family Robinson was a large digital novel, and they had all been tested on it so thoroughly, drilled on it so constantly, that it lost its meaning; every paragraph attacked and ground down by the analysis of the interface so that its story was stripped bare, save for a few excellent vocabulary words.

Making fun of the way English tends to be taught?

I love writing!! I joined my schools writing club and I'ts really fun.

I love creative writing. I've written a 40 page book (It'd probably be about 80 pages in a paperback size, though.) and I'm trying to get it published. 

My characters always smoke

So I don't post anything here :>

You'd be surprised!!!

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.

Can I haz story? lulz

I know.
I was just remarking.

I like creative writing, but I tend to only do it for school assignments. I used to write a lot for fun (back in elementary school and early mid school) and I used to want to be a writer when I grew up, but then I discovered math.    Don't get me wrong, I still like reading and writing, but I prefer math most of the time.

I can't write a story, but I like to write informational pieces (STOP JUDGING ME).

That's not Creative Writing. 

That is, if you have the truth in it.

I'm writing a story about this virtual reality shooter-like action game that everyone plays to escape thehorrors of the world around them (you know, pollution, the impending nuclear war, things like that), and this group of hackers (or some sort of virus or bug, I can't decide) makes it where people can't leave and if they die in-game they just die, then start klling all of them taking advantage of the game's huge arsenal of readily-available weapons, and some people team up and try to stop them.

A certain movie comes to mind.  A certain 1980s movie.  I can't remember the name.  Gah!
