Stine Writing and Miniatures

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 04/04/2023

Welcome to the 6-minute challenge!

Today’s prompt is:

_Doggo_00005743

In “Doggo” by Esa Ringbom, a brown bear picked an unsuccessful hiding place. It is a picture of a big brown bear hiding behind a very thin tree trunk.

*****For any participants that do NOT like restrictions, please feel free to participate in any way you would like. It is great to read the contributions!****

  1. Set up a timer or sit near a clock so you can keep track of the six minutes you will be writing.
  2. You can either use one of the prompts (photo or written) or you can free-write.
  3. Get ready and write for 6 minutes, that is it! Can you write a complete story? Can you think of a new Sonnet? Can you write 400 words? 400? 500? There are no restrictions on what kind of writing you do, but you should try to be actively writing for six minutes.
  4. After you are done writing, include your word count and then post back to this page #Simply6Minutes or include your link in the comments section. Pingbacks are enabled.
  5. *Feel free to leave your work completely unedited. I believe it is good to see, especially for new writers, that even very seasoned writers don’t write a perfect first draft.*
  6. Have fun, challenge yourself if you’d like, read and respond to others’ posts.

Thank you for participating!

  12. […] Emmet was not only the happiest bear in the whole world, but he was also a very special one. Ordinarily the special animals born in the wild don’t have much of a chance at happiness, but Emmet was lucky enough to have a supportive family and community.From his appearance, they all realized early on that Emmet had the animal version of *Down’s Syndrome.As he grew, everyone was patient and protective of him. What he gave back were endless smiles and giggles. Emmet loved making other bears happy through laughter and even though he wasn’t always sure what made him so funny, he didn’t really care.Pictured above, Emmet plays hide-and seek. Emmet was indeed a special bear.* Down syndrome is unique to only human chromosomes, however, animals can have similar mental illnesses to what humans can have1. While it is not exactly the same disease as down syndrome, animals like tigers, dogs, monkeys, lions etc., can have similar visual and mental characteristics1. For example, white tigers2, mice2, cats2 and many other animals have been found to have similar genetic disorders.https://christinebialczak.com/2023/04/04/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-04-04-2023/ […]
