I have to write a short story about book burnings during the Holocaust for English and I don’t know where to begin  it’s going to be a long weekend

  

ooooh if i had the assignment i’d get my anger running and write like a short book.  Why do you get all the interesting stuff??

  

well maybe if 1. I didn’t have writer’s block and 2. I could figure out a plot that isn’t 100% cliché then it would be interesting but sadly that is not the case.

Speaking of writing short books, in 8th grade we had to write a short story that was like 1-5 pages, mine was 33 pages and 8,436 words… and my teacher didn’t even bother to read it 

well she gave it a grade (and a very good grade it was too ) and she pretended she read it, but the paper around the staple was uncreased, so I put two and two together . Also, she wrote approximately 28,373,489,348,378 comments at the top of everyone else’s paper, but she didn’t write anything on mine.

…

Actually, I don’t think anyone’s read the whole thing besides me.

Also, I asked her what the name of my protagonist was, and she couldn’t tell me. 

It was literally the first word of the story, too 

She was a pretty terrible teacher, though. One time I didn’t say hi to her when I came in the door, and she threatened to take points off my grade and call my parents. Oh, and I had to write her an apology letter, too.

Wow that’s ridiculous!

I had a similarly bad English teacher once – I went and asked her for help, and she said ‘I’ve already helped you once this lesson, go back to your seat.’

So she proceeded to sit in her chair and not help anyone, and do nothing. Weird person…

  

That’s terrible, her job is literally to help you learn.

Fiddy, why don’t you write a book and then burn it?

(You probably shouldn’t listen to me, I got 3 hours of sleep last night)

hmmm there might be something in that…

I have the opposite problem with my English teacher. He reads every word of anything I write and takes points off if it doesn’t fit exactly what he would write. Last week, we were writing short stories and I had the sentence “I tightened my grip on the straps of my backpack” somewhere in mine. He got mad because I didn’t write ‘leather straps of my backpack’. 

  

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME unless the leather is essential to the story it does. Not. Matter.

this cow identifies as male 

You mean it identifies as a bull… meaning it’s not a cow… maybe it’s gender-fluid, I don’t know.

I need nail polish remover so i can paint my nails red.  I’m so sad. I’ll have to go to walmart tomorrow, 

  

I’ve tried painting my nails but it’s too much work for too little reward.

but how does it last a whole week without becoming a chipped mess?
