I have invited Zen to be a contributing writer to my Incitement 2007 - Young Writers’ Page. Zen is a homeschooled gifted 14 year old that comes to the site through a mailing list designed just for families who are homeschooling in the Houston area. Please take a moment to visit her first posting. I expect that she will be submitting creative writing in the near future.
If you are interested in ‘infusing your creative thoughts into the world’ and you are a young writer, email me at teachagiftedkid@gmail.com about your intentions.

Alrighty, I’m Happy Zen, or Zennie. Any friends will, of course, know my real name. Ayway, I’m fourteen, and I live in Texas, which is cool. I don’t, however, plan on living here for the rest of my life. No way. I want to live in Italy….or Spain. Or both, haha.
I LOVE theoretical physics, and I have a proffesor mentoring me. I’m also a big philosophy person, and I really liked a three week class I took on philosophy of the mind. I think I’ll be a neurologist someday, so you can all look for Dr. Happy Zen when you’re older. I would probably go into neurology research though, because if anything else happens to have something to do with sticking a needle in somebody’s brain….forget it.
As far as recreational goes, I have been fencing competitively for about three…almost four years. All around, four and a half to five years. I started in foil and I am now in epee, and I love it. A recent hiatus proved that. Oh I missed it…and my Russian coach of course. So I went back this months before the competitive season really kicks off to get some lessons in which(may I add) are going fantastically. I love to write and draw, but I stick to what I know so if anyone knows a good online place to learn how to draw realistically(animals hopefully) I’d love you forever if you gave me the link.
I love Phantom of the Opera, and I saw Wicked in April, which is so amazingly fantastic and I cried in both. Hahaha, I guess that’s not saying much because it doesn’t take much to make me cry. Oh well.
TTYL,
happyZEN

My HomeBy Rishabh
I see a red brick house with damp green grass. When it is spring where the birds sing on the branches of the trees. When I come closer I feel like I’m going in to the future. When I open the door there is a rush of cold air that hits my face and smells like modern appliances. I see a leather couch ahead and a new polished dining table at my right. I go to my left and open a door to be welcomed by peaceful music. Now I feel I am going into the past with all the simple painting on the walls. I come closer to an instrument, my favorite instrument. I examine like I have never seen it before. I go upstairs to go into the future with video games and DS lites. Where there are laptops, computers, remote controlled vehicles and other things to see. Then, I enter the kitchen being confronted by new and refreshing smells of different kinds of foods. I now feel I’m in the present time. Next I go to the bedroom and I feel cozy and sleepy. Feeling that the bed is pulling me towards itself and telling me to take a nap, a short nap. I thought maybe another time, and I walked out to the backyard where nature welcomed me with lots of things to do, I walked back to the bedroom and looked at the time and fell asleep on the cozy warm bed saying its bed time.

Guided Writing
Of My House
By: Manisha
I am right across from my house and I see a big tree on the left. There is a palm tree, bushes, and a few flowers on the right, same for the left side of my house. When you enter there are to sago palms and a gate.
You enter the gate into a small courtyard then there is a door, my front door. The door has shiny windows on it. It is bordered by an olive green color.
When I open the door there is a living room and on my left there is a hallway. The living room is in front of me. You can sort of see the backyard.
I will enter the living room and there will be a door to the kitchen. I go to the kitchen first thing. Usually my cat(s) are there meowing for water from the sink. The cats are usually on the counter or the kitchen table.
I like the fridge, because when I walk to it I’m hungry. I also like the pantry, that’s where the good food is. I am hungry when I go to these places.
Next, I go to the bathroom, because when I come home I usually have to go to the bathroom.
I have 4 cats and 2 dogs. The dogs are in the backyard. The cats are usually in the kitchen or in my mom’s bedroom. I also have 2 fish, but there at my dad’s house.
In my kitchen there is a table. That’s where I eat, or I eat at the counter where there are a few stools. I have memories of conversations with my family and eating. Well of course eating, because it’s a kitchen!
Then I go thru the dining room into the hallway into my bedroom. I like sitting on my bed with a laptop or with my cat purring while I pet her. I like to pace in my room while I talk on the phone. I also like to read in my bed. I like my bed, because I like sleeping in it and it used to be my sister’s.
I walk thru the hallway, and into the living room, out the back door in the kitchen or the living room. I see my dogs, usually sitting or sleeping. I look at the rocks and trees behind it; I take a deep breath and Splash! I’m in the pool and swimming in the heat of the sun.

My House
Jerel
I see a 1 story house with 3 pine trees; the driveway is empty, and the curving path to the front door is surrounded by bushes. The bricks are red. I walk towards the front door, and I see a regular-sized door with a beautifully designed window. I see a tile with a rug in the middle; straight ahead I see my living room. To my right I see my music room, and to my left I see a hallway. I go to my living room, and I see my parents. I can smell something cooking, and my 1-year old brother is walking around. I move towards my brother. He makes me happy when he giggles. He looks at me and starts laughing. I go to my room and I play with my miniature basketball toy. It makes me smile. I have a hamster, and his name is Fidgety. He is cleaning his face. I go to my kitchen my dad is there. He is cooking my favorite food, steak. It smells very good. I see the sink full of dishes. As I go back to my room, I walk past the hall. I see pictures of me when I was young. I trot into my room, and I get my baseball cards. They are special to me because I have collected them for a long time, and now I have a huge collection. I look at the pictures of the players, and then I turn them around and look at their statistics. I remember when I got my first baseball card. I go to my backyard and it is very muddy. I sit down in a chair, and it is hot and humid. I look at the clouds. For awhile, I just sit there, thinking of how lucky I am compared to some people in the world.

You got to warm up a frog slowly,
By Scott
First, put a frog on a bed of wood. Then, get a long, straight, sturdy stick and rub it on the frog. Blow on it. Don’t let it in contact with wind. After five minutes, it should elongate and turn brown. Then it should ignite. A perfect campfire!

I am from China. I am pretty glad I’m not living in China. For one, in China you’ll live in a small house. For another, if you are a girl, you will probably be adopted, and everybody will probably ask you, “Are you adopted?” If you are interested in asking me, that’s what happened to me.
Also China is a great place. Just like July 4, June 1st (my birthday) is National Children’s Day. In China, I am from Guan Dong Province. I think I was adopted because my birth parents already had another child, or they needed a boy to work on the farms.
My dad promised me, “If we ever go on a trip to China, we will definitely go on the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall was built to protect the people of China from the people of Mongolia. China’s also super awesome! My dad says, “The Yellow Mountain is probably the most beautiful scenery. When I was born, I was raised in a hospital by a woman named Mrs. You. I also have a few good luck charms from China. I once went to see a few shows fromChina, like the one when the Chinese people fought with the
Mongolian people. First a lady did a few amazing things. Then the bad guys surrounded her…….boom! I thought the good guys came just in time because the bad guys wereabout to kill her They fought. I love China!

Where I am from
By Nisha
I am from the beaches of
Minnesota, swimming in swimming pools, playing with friends and having sleepovers.
I am from the jungles of
India, the Rainforests of Africa, the tiny forests of my house.
I am from Webkinz World, watching TV, the fireworks of 4th of July and waking up after dreams.
I am from Christmas, Easter, Halloween, New Years Eve and Valentine’s Day.
And I am from a leaf of my family tree.

Once, there was a frog circus, where frogs were trained to do amazing tricks like jumping in the air, rolling over, and doing flips. People from all over the world came to watch these performers. It was a magnificent sight. Sometimes on special occasions, they would bring in the “Golden Frog”. This was the elite frog. Although he was not really golden, they always showed a bright gold light at him to make him look golden.
On one special occasion, The Golden Frog was brought out to do amazing tricks like it was supposed to. The crowd was pumped up and excited to see the golden legend. They laid the frog on stage without any warm-up. The frog didn’t do anything. The crowd started to chant, “GOLDEN FROG! GOLDEN FROG!” The frog just sat there. When they bribed the frog with some insects, the frog jumped high in the air! The crowd got louder. The frog was about to land…
