Stine Writing and Miniatures

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 08/15/2023

Welcome to the 6-minute challenge!

Today’s prompt is:

funny fish

This is a picture of a silly looking fish with big red eyes and a huge underbite!

*****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. […] Jeff and James were identical twin brothers, but their likeness ended there. Opposites in tastes, politics, and life philosophies, they learned to stay away from newsy topics and still managed to enjoy each other company as adults. When Jeff hauled in (a first ever) piranha from their favorite fishing spot, James asked him to destroy it because this first one meant that others may follow and invade the whole area. James warned that people brought their kids there to swim too and asked him to do the ‘right’ thing.“C’mon! James, look at him smiling at us.”“He’s a piranha, Jeff.”“Look at his pleading eyes. He’s not very big.”But he’s a piranha, Jeff!“I’m sure he’ll just go back where he came from now that he got caught.”So, Jeff mercifully threw the fish back.Six weeks later a sign was erected closing the area:DANGER<NO SWIMMING or FISHING ALLOWED>Due to PIRANAH FISH attacks.https://christinebialczak.com/2023/08/15/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-08-15-2023/ […]
