Stine Writing and Miniatures

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 07/18/2023

Welcome to the 6-minute challenge!

Today’s prompt is:

*****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. […] When Carl was 10, he had fallen and broken his leg resulting in a plaster cast that spanned its entire length. He found that an itch under that cast was impossible to scratch so he learned to convince his brain that a large, clawed hand was doing the scratching. It helped.Now with the heatwave and the depleted green power grid not allowing for air conditioning, he used the same method. His imagination convinced him that he was in the Arctic diving into cold water and his t-shirt, soaked with sweat, was the result of that glorious plunge. For a moment he was spared the ‘heat calamity’ of the Climate Change policies’ disinterest in health and safety until, delirious from the extreme heat, he dove forward out of his door and face planted in the sand!Reality shocked him really good! All he could do was hope and pray that reality would soon do the same for those who seem willing to kill people to further their ridiculous Climate Change assault on reliable power.https://christinebialczak.com/2023/07/18/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-07-18-2023/ […]
