Welcome to the 6-minute challenge!
Today’s prompt is:
This is a picture of a baby holding a cell phone looking like she is surprised by the conversation.
*****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!****
- Set up a timer or sit near a clock so you can keep track of the six minutes you will be writing.
- You can either use one of the prompts (photo or written) or you can free-write.
- 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.
- 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.
- *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.*
- Have fun, challenge yourself if you’d like, read and respond to others’ posts.
Thank you for participating!

[…] Baby Polly (aka Polly the Parrot) was a precocious child who learned to speak before she could walk. Her favorite activity was mimicking her mom when she was on the phone.Her daddy was a jealous type and had found how to get information on his wife by asking Polly to “do Mommy” and she’d break into phrases that she had overheard her mommy saying. On a particular day, Polly’s routine caught her Daddy’s attention.“That Dickie…He’s gorgeous! I want him!” was Polly’s animated reenactment.So, Daddy needed to find out about this homewrecker, Dickie, and secretly followed Mommy to the local animal shelter (where she volunteered her time) only to see her hugging a handsome grinning attendant!This time, Daddy had the goods on her, so he went to work and plotted his “Ah-ha!” moment.Later on, when Daddy came home, Mommy greeted him with a new family pet. “I couldn’t help myself, Dear. Meet Dickie. Isn’t he Gorgeous?”https://christinebialczak.com/2023/09/05/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-09-05-2023/ […]
