Creative Writing: Writing Territories

1. Writings that I like to read usually include some articles in the Newspaper and mostly science-fiction/fantasy novels. Some of my favorite books are science-fiction/fantasy, like Lord of the Rings, and the Redwall series. These intrigue me because I love all of the epic storytelling and the adventure that takes place. The most fun style of writing, I think, is that of a narrative. Unfortunately outside of the class I do not write at all. I do read books outside of class, but he only time I write is for a class assignment. When we do have school assignments, I find that the topics that essentially have no bound of styles are the most fun. Usually just telling a story, or a narrative is the most fun to write. I like to write those because I can add epic tales into them and have huge battles, and do it all without trying to prove a point.

2. Once upon a time there was a little man, about four and a half feet tall. He was known as the outcast of his village. Even thought he was very small for a grown man, he knew how to fight. He was very proficient in sword fighting and archery. He wanted to join the village army, in case of any attack, he could help the people protect their village. But they declined him, only because of his height. This little guy was named Jared. Now Jared had grown up in a "normal persons" house, and had a "normal" mother and father. When he was a teenager he was often made fun of for being so short. But his parents kept telling him that he would grow, he was just a late bloomer. But as time passed he never bloomed. Once he was old enough to live on his own, his parents kicked him out of the house and banned him from the village. Jared, being torn by the love for his parents and a girl named Catie, decided to hide in the mountains near the village. Always looking after it, especially Catie. This girl Catie was his childhood love, and still is his love. He admires her, and wonders at her beauty. But no one knows of his secret love for Catie. And Jared cannot tell anyone of this love because he is an outcast and Catie is the daughter of the mayor. Jared waits in the mountains until his day may come, when he can ride off into the sunset with Catie, on horseback. One day, towards dusk, the warning bell of the village rang. This warning bell warns all the people of an attack. The army mobilized near the gates of the village, men clad in heavy armor with swords and shields, and archers behind them. Jared ran to the top of the mountain overlooking the village and saw the enemy running in, an enemy village had gathered an army to attack Jared's village. Jared became outraged. He ran over to the pass where the army would have to come through, ready to pounce. As the enemy village's army walked through the pass he set off his little trap. He pushed a boulder over, blocking the pass from the back and spliting the army in two. Then he released a lever, this lever was holding the latch that held up a pile of logs, which spilled into the pass. The enemy army was dumfounded. The back half ot he army retreated while the front half surrendered. After that attack the village was never in danger again, due to Jared's craftiness and knowledge of the hills.
