Stine Writing and Miniatures

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 05/23/2023

Welcome to the 6-minute challenge!

Today’s prompt is:

Small Fish With Ambitions Of A Big Shark - Business Concept
By Romolo Tavani

A goldfish with a shark fin strapped to his back

*****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!

  13. […] I was busy making my granddaughter toast as a news report played on the TV in the background.“Today, the NAACP has advised all ‘people of color’ to avoid travel to Florida. They explained that Govenor DeSantis was outwardly unfriendly to minorities because of his ‘ push back’ on CRT in Florida classrooms. A spokesperson further claims that the atmosphere there could be overtly hostile, even dangerous for ‘people of color’!”My application of Nutella to her toast became inadvertently hostile, when I heard that, producing a tear in the bread. I couldn’t help but comment.” The use of fear as a political weapon is out-of-control. Getting what you want by misrepresenting the truth to scare people is ubiquitous these days! Do you know what ubiquitous means, Dear? It means something can be found everywhere.” “Look Grandma! Even Goldie is trying to scare us to get attention! It IS everywhere.”https://christinebialczak.com/2023/05/23/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-05-23-2023/ […]
