It was a chilly August afternoon. I lay on my quilted sheets fully dressed doing absolutely nothing. I glanced around the room and noticed some additions that had been added to my room that summer: my new bulletin board withe the green trim, and a 12 inch TV that had been placed uncomfortably on top of my already creaking dresser. A sick feeling entered my stomach as I thought of those things, because my best freind Elizabeth had given them to me. She had moved to another state last week, but to me, it felt like another country if not another planet.
My room started to get darker and I glanced at my alarm clock; it was almost 6:00 pm. My step mom would soon call me down to dinner and eat leftover beet soup. I hated beet soup almost as much as I hated my new step-mother and her new diet plan for the whole family. But I wasn't even overweight. I was just an average teenager with many annoying little problems.
"Alexa dinner's on the table!" came my step mom's voice from the kitchen.
But I didn't respond. I told her as long as she called me Alexa I wouldn't answer her. She told me I had to otherwise she wouldn't talk to me at all. I told her than would be good. Then that afternoon she called me Alexa again and I didn't respond. So I hadn't been talking to for a few weeks now and I liked it that way.
Alexa was my middle name, and I hated it with a passion. My real name was Samantha but she never called me that. And wehn she had mvoed in 4 weeks ago, my dad had started calling me Alexa too and so Istopped talking to him, too.
It was a silent battle and I knew I would win.
But my stomach pained with hunger so much that I felt ready to faint. So, I locked my bedroom door, turned on my TV, and climed out my bedroom window with 10 bucks in my pocket to by dinner for me at the local Denny's.
As I quietly passed my livingroom window, I spotted my step mom talking to my dad. She was saying something about his lousy parenting and that he had a lousy daughter. I stopped breathing and strained to hear my dad's reply. He had noddedn in agreement. Over a sudden i felt a voilent urge to strangle that woman living in my house, eating of the plates my real mom had loved so much. I wouldn't tolerate this. I decided to leave. I would run away and never see her or my dad again.
(continue saying how she found a bird with a broken wing and couldnt leave it out in the cold with her where she slept near the garbage can's behind Denny's, and decided to bring it home, even though it ment facing her step mom and dad again.)
Good Luck, hope you liked it!!!

Write about a guy that had a short story to write, and didn't know what to write about so he went on line to get some ideas and gets sidetracked by weird stuff- describe the weird stuff and end with the guy getting an F in the class for not writing anything, but with great stories to tell about weird stuff on line( a Alice in wonderland kind of thing)

well... that happened to me like last week and what i did was write about this girl that had a hard life everyday (and explained a bit of course, like chores at home and stuff) and did not have enough time to write an important short story so she made something up pretty fast and the best teacher in the whole wide world gave her a 100. and if you don't like my idea (which is very likely ) you can write any simple idea that you come up with and that will eventually develop into a good story rather you believe it or not. trust your mind.

Tell your teacher you're trying an "automatic writing experiment" like the Surrealists used to do 100 years ago.
Begin with a word and give yourself 5 minutes, writing whatever pops into your head. Grammar, spelling and coherence be damned, just don't take the pen from the page, or your hands from the keyboard as the case may be. Then do another one, starting with a different idea. Four or five of those will take you 1/2 hour, and the results might be fascinating. Good luck.

Your teacher didnt assign anything?? Well then just write about something you love doing. Or get in the Halloween spirit and write a spooky halloween story. It will feel like less of an asignment if you write about something fun.

Write about something funny that happened to you. When I need to write a story it's always easy for me to write about something funny. It's makes the writing easier.

Write a about something you wish would happen except, put a little bit of a surprise or odd twist at the end. Use creativity.

Well, first you need to check your grammer and spelling (no=know), and second of all you failed to mention a topic or range of topics.
So, if anything, write about an experience that meant something to you; a touching story will always give you an A+.

Write about your most memorable moment and what it meant to you. Or write something about a situation you went through and what you learned from it. You'll think up something good. Good luck!

Halloween is coming up you could write a horror story.
Write a story about how you would ask the girl of your dreams out?
Your dream holiday
