I'm a high schooler from Indiana, and I'm so excited to meet the writing community here at Schoolhouse!

I primarily write a lot of essays and short stories. Something I wish to improve on is writing longer. A piece that I'm proud of is my flash fiction.

I can't wait to get to know you!

I'm Khush! Nice to meet you.

Hello, my name is Vansh and I am from the US. I enjoy reading and writing for fun. I am proud of some stories that I personally wrote and my essays from ELA class. A goal of mine this summer is to improve the quality of my writing.

I'm also working on a novel called 'An Accidental Murder'. Here's the first issue

Hi! Nice to meet you! I'm Ella

2022-06-29 18:10:32 UTC

I'm a middle schooler from the USA. I like writing on my own time, but I do dread it in school because I have a lot of writer's block. Writing on my own time at home helps me focus better. I love reading fanfics :) because it let's people choose the characters they want but also changes the backstory.
One goal that I have is to start writing more and get out of writer's block faster. I'm really excited to get to know all of you! :)

Hey, I'm Namann >:)

2022-06-29 18:11:00 UTC

I'm Namann and I'm Indian but live in NJ. I often write action and fantasy scripts in my free time (Writing one right now), but somehow, I hate reading itself. I love baking and drawing along with watching animated shows (Favorite ones are Attack on Titan and Owl House) I used to play hockey and am still into it (Maple Leafs superiority)

A goal of mines is to have the motivation to write full stories instead of writing short scenarios.

Grace's Writing Idea:

choigrace32 — 2022-06-29 18:31:46 UTC

I'm thinking about doing the first prompt about a story where a gift gets wrongfully mixed up. So everyone thinks it's a miracle until they figure out the switch-up.

The mist curled around her lithe body. The scent was intoxicating, welcoming, and mind-reeling. Her feelings would have to be put aside for now though, the emperor awaited. Was it really a lie if you changed someone’s life? If you had their best intentions at heart? The people of Kandavia had long been plagued by disease, war, and famine. However, there just was no place else to go. The people were stuck. After watching their king die right in front of them, Sky knew what she had to do for her country. Live a double life, giving hope at a cost. So far, her tactics had been godsend for her ravaged country. But it still hurt to lie to their face, her friends, her neighbors, her ruler. Her ruler, the person who was supposed to make everything better. Pah! He was rubbing salt in the fresh wound. Lying around having parties with the rich and declaring more wars. The only reason why the people hadn’t revolted yet was because of their loyalty to Kandavia. The emperor! Slowly she pulled herself back to the world of the living, entangling herself from her thoughts.

“You will have victory if you depend on your people. Trust them. Do not waste your time. Prepare your warriors diligently.” She gave her declaration boldly but anyone with 2 cents would see that it was common sense. However, this was the king she was talking about.

“Thank you, my lady. You have my word.” Then the king turned tail and galloped off.

Short Story: Life Changes for Better

Hank Thompson is a 32 year old coal miner from the US state of West Virginia. He was born and raised in the state of West Virginia his whole entire life. Life has been tough for him, as he was raised in an impoverished, dysfunctional household. His parents were constantly bickering, and the environment caused Hank to become quite resentful in life. During the entirety of his education, he knew that he would be working in the coal mines, as that was what the economy of his whole entire region was built on. However, Hank always felt he was different from his peers, as he was always looking at the complexities of life. Hank loved technology, and anything related to it. He was always taking apart various pieces of technology, and then rebuilding them from scratch.

The Scholar

2022-06-29 18:47:26 UTC

The village was in drought. Plants were drying and fields were eroding, the river had decreased in depth by a meter or two. There was nothing to eat, the children looked malnourished and the adults were starving.
That's when a renowned fortune teller roaming around the world stumbled upon their village. The villagers swarmed him and pleaded for answers, unable to tolerate this cursed life anymore. They asked him about when it would rain, and he answered.
"No less than 3 days of wait." He said.
The villagers felt a mix of emotions. If he was right, it would be beneficial for everyone. Had he been wrong, it would only be the villagers who suffer. They waited, and soon came the day.
It rained heavily that day, the villagers were overjoyed. For the whole next week, they treated him as a God. He was the greatest fortune teller on the face of this earth.
Or maybe he was not. He, in fact, was a scholar. He would go from one place to another. By scientific derivations he would give people hope. Hope that didn't exist, but hope that he made out of fact. A con-man, some would call him. Yet he called himself a man of science.

(This part is the back story of my character and their past love)

It all started that one august day when you asked for my eraser. You had just moved to town and were already the most popular person in our seventh grade class. I remember looking at you and immediately falling in love with you. at the time, i didn't know what love was. all i knew was i always wanted to be around you and dreaded the goodbyes. Time grew on, and through an unlikely twist of fate, we became friends. I still remember the first time we had a sleepover.

Prompt: Lawyer at Nursing Home Teaching Competitive Debate

Timothy J. was a middle aged lawyer from South Carolina. As a kid, he loved to argue and ended up channeling that passion into the form of debate. In high school, he was a national debate champion and ended up going to Harvard, where he competed on their debate team. He always knew that he wanted to be a lawyer, as he felt that it was a perfect career for him. After attending Yale Law School, he worked as a corporate lawyer at a large firm in New York City for about 25 years. As he approached his 50th birthday, he realized that while he achieved financial success, he felt empty on the inside. So, he made what some would call an irrational decision: he abruptly quit his lucrative job and he relocated back to his hometown of Charleston, South Carolina.

After moving back to his hometown, Timothy purchased a beautiful luxury condo on the beach.

Vince had been in the mafia for all his life. He was a criminal; he lived a risky lifestyle. He had been steadily and proudly climbing the ranks of the FBI's most wanted list just as he climbed the ranks of the mafia. But he had never faced anything as dangerous as this.

He could admit, as the faint sounds of unearthly, high-pitched shrieking reached his ears from outside the building, that he was terrified. His hands were clammy, ready to grab for a weapon at the slightest provocation; sweat trickled down the back of his neck and wet the starched collar of his shirt.

The aliens—Vince wasn’t convinced they were really aliens, and was still ready to blame this on some trick of rivals, but what else was he supposed to call the sleek gray squid-like creatures flying through the skies?—were outside somewhere, but they were irrelevant. The real threat was in the elevator with him.

“Vincent,” said his companion, who was exactly the type of little old lady everyone would instantly expect to have a bizarrely large stash of candies of dubious provenance in her little purse, “under your shirt, why do you have a—”

“Don’t worry,” he said, too loudly. “Everything’s gonna be alright, mama.”

So Vince had admittedly never gotten around to telling his mother that he was a criminal. She still thought that his odd hours were the result of him being a really dedicated plumber. This had never been a problem, nor hard to maintain. He’d been very careful to make sure law enforcement never found out his mother’s identity—he may have been a criminal, but even he took care of his mother. The woman had raised him, after all! He’d even convinced her to legally change her name so that they couldn’t be connected by explaining that his plumbing business was so popular that he didn’t want his customers to harass her so that they could get discounts. It had the added bonus of explaining how he’d gotten his ill-gained fortune.

“You know, Vince, I know these are special circumstances,” his mother continued, undeterred, “but you know I don’t approve of weapons. They’re just too dangerous.”

“I… need them for my job.” As a plumber.

Computer Science

2022-07-20 18:32:36 UTC

There are lots of programming languages such as Python, java, java script, C++, HTML, etc! Coding is so important because that's how websites get created! And if coding didn't exist, your favorite video games won't even be here! Programming can create games, such as Hangman, turtle games, etc.! Coding is such an interesting subject to talk about!

The Knight In the Principles Office Cleaning the Toilet With a Plumber

White armor shined like silver in the moonlight as the figure wearing the armor walked into a small hut by the sea shore, just on the edge of the forest.
"You are here at last!" The man said, who greeted him from inside the hut.
"Now, tell me how to create the emerald portal." The man in armor demanded.
"I already told you I wasn't sure how to do that, no one ever known in history has created the portal."
"TELL ME!" The man in armor said, unsheating his sword. "I am not sure if you know, but I am the royal knight of the Emerald Empire, and I will do anything to protect my Empire. The dark ages have been very rough for all of us, if there is any way to survive, I need to find it and help my people. If there is another world out there, I need to find out and move my people there. The black death is wiping out whole populations!"
"I understand, but I don't know-
"Too late now," The knight said and disapreaed behind the bookshelf.
The man who lived in the hut chased after the knight but just to find him vanishing into the purple flame of the Emerald portal, and the Portal shrinked into ashes.
The knight was falling, and he fell until he hit a hard concrete floor, in front of a building looking like nothing he had ever seen before, he was in a new world.
He walked into the building, saw children and adults with much different cloths and big yellow rectangles with wheels.
"Onto the school bus kids!" He heard one of the adults say.
He kept walking, eager to explore this new world, and entered an office room with the sign that read 'principles office,' although he did not understand at all what this meant.
He opened a door in the principles office and saw a white seat, a mirror and a sink which looked very different to him than it was in his world.
He took the stick looking thing, which was the only think he thought was a weapon he could use to protect him self and started sharpening it on the white seat's surface just when he heard the door behind him swing open.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH A PLUMBER CLEANING THE TOILET IN MY OFFICE, THE PRINCIPLES OFFICE!!!???" A man with a suit and bowtie screamed at him even though he didn't understand a word.
The knight was taken to prison by security for 3 months and then released.
Soon after being released, the knight continued to explore the new world learning the language and their way of living, when he finally found out he had made his way to the future.
