DAY ONE!

Hey guys!
Since we are just starting out, lets all share a piece of our writing. Then we can help each other, by critiquing or other means. (And so we can read your stuff :))
 I'll start!
The kid stood on the edge of the roof looking down. Jackson stopped, “Kid, get away from the edge, right now.” The boy turned around. He had a smirk on his face. “Korey” the girl said, her voice warning him not to do what he was thinking about doing. Korey spread his arms out and fell backwards. “NO!!!” Jackson said running to the edge. He looked down and gasped. Korey wasn't falling, he was flying. “KOREY LUCAS SCOTT! YOU IDIOT!” The girl yelled angrily. Then she did the impossible. She tore a satellite dish from the roof, as if it were a toothpick, and threw it at Korey. He dodged it and it crashed into another building. He flew back to the roof and said angrily, “Jeez Kamryn, I was just having some fun. I haven’t flown in at least two years. You didn't have to throw a satellite dish at me.” Jackson stared at them with a shocked expression “You’ve got powers … How?” Kamryn turned and apologized “Sorry about that, we were given special powers by Harold Manser. My brother Korey and I volunteered along with the other kids you just set free. Then Dr. Manser turned psycho and locked us in those cells and started torturing us.” Jackson looked from Korey to Kamryn, “Whaaaaaat?”
Normally I would of just left it at a cliff hanger but... I like to imagine the look on Jacksons face when he's like "Whaaaaaat?!"

Also Here is helpful post #1!

Day 1 Writing may sometimes be hard, especially when the inspiration that drives you is lacking. However the best thing to do is to keep writing, you will find that inspiration can come from literally anything. For example, you could be stuck on a scene and just be sitting at your computer or with your notebook trying to think of a good scene to write; when you overhear two kids arguing over a bandana. Immediately you get inspired to right a scene about your MC and your SC get into a fight on how MC always wears his/her bandana. Now I know that this is a silly example, but inspiration can come from anything. Today try and find something that inspires you to write and write about it. It can be from a baseball game and you can write about how the pitcher is an undercover spy and the criminal mastermind is the catcher, it could be from a boat and you can write about how a movie stars life is threatened by "accidents" on a commercial cruise and the only one who can figure it out it the janitor and a wanna-be journalist, or even from a flower and you could write about how this one flower is the key to human survival.

So in a shorter, less wordy way. Today, find something that inspires you to write and write about it. If you want, you can even share it with me.
