Stine Writing and Miniatures

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 01/24/2023

Welcome to the 6-minute challenge!

Today’s prompt is:

Cat up or down stairs
Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. 
9GAG

This picture shows a cat either walking up or walking down a set of stairs, but you can’t tell the direction it is going.

*****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!

  10. […] My people called me “Fluffy”. But you can call me “Maximus”. That’s what my homies called me. Yep, I was all THAT after dark with the ‘ladies’ too.I lapped saucers of milk (that gave me gas), squeezed into tissue boxes, sprawled on keyboards, but mostly lazed on windowsills during the day… every day, until last Spring.It was then my people decided to renovate the cellar, but they conveniently forgot to barricade the crawlspace under the front porch, so it was then I found my avenue to FREEDOM.Tipping garbage cans and yowling at the moon made me feel alive! Then I saw her. The prettiest little calico on Earth!Matty was her name and lovin’ was her game. M-E-O-W!Now it’s over. My 9th life left me after an ill-timed leap showing off for my Matty at the dump. My only regret is all these darn steps on this stairway to heaven! I wonder if they’ll have windowsills up there. I could use a rest.https://christinebialczak.com/2023/01/24/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-01-24-2023/ […]
