This is a snippet from a story I'm writing. They are waking up, but this isn't the opening of the book. Opinions? Critiques/reviews? Thanks in advance! Something was beeping. Something loud and annoying and he couldn't figure out what it was. He rolled over and fumbled for the alarm. With a...

I'm writing a short story, but I'm having trouble coming up with a good name for one of the characters. I was thinking about naming Tobias. I wanted something older/historical(like a family name), but not too stuffy for a guy in his late teens/early 20s. What's your first idea of what someone...

I'm designing a school for my drafting class. Its a combined middle and high school with 3500 students. 1500 in middle and 2000 in high school. One building is a gym. I'm having trouble deciding what should be in it. Obviously locker rooms, and one large room with basketball courts (a standard...

I'm writing a short story for class. I didn't really plan it out, I just started writing. I like what I have so far, but I don' t know where to go with it. What do you think could happen next? (and do you like the scene so far?) Thanks! The current scene is the main character, a 16 year old...

Roughly how many kids (or classes) are allowed out per recess area at a time? I imagine there has to be a limit so there isn't overcrowding. I'm sure it depends on the size of the school/lot, but what do you think would be average?

I recently strted writing a new story. I'm not entirely sure about it though. Does it sound interesting? It is hundreds of years after an unspecified world collapse and the world has devolved into chaos. Most of it is mostly rural, very basic education/technology, very religious, and large...

I'm writing a short story, but I'm not really sure what genre it would fit into. It's set in an alternate/future world. It follows a group of kids/teens who go on an adventure to save their friend after he's kidnapped. I would think sci-fi, but with no aliens or space travel. Maybe fantasy, but...
