Stine Writing and Miniatures

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 08/29/2023

Welcome to the 6-minute challenge!

Today’s prompt is:

This is a picture of a flamingo looking at its reflection in the water

*****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. […] Larry had always been an oddball. His habit of eating what he pleased instead of the ‘proper’ flamingo diet even made him visually stand out as pale and weird.But Larry’s stand-alone attitude made him a bit lonely for good company. His position on world politics was unwavering as he was a visionary and ‘head and feathers’ more intellectual than his peers, so he was widely “cancelled” by the ‘head-in-the muck’ flashy flock. In his belligerent fashion, he just resigned himself to keeping company with himself.Until a bright clear day produced a stunningly clear reflection at his feet. He eagerly befriended the pale, yet handsome, bird he observed and found him to be famously compatible in his worldviews too!https://christinebialczak.com/2023/08/29/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-08-29-2023/ […]
