The whole audience is asleep!

*****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!

  7. […] The people finally found rest. Their lives were feeling safer, and their once, near empty, bellies were full. They’d lived with fear and uncertainty for too long before they elected a new government on its promises to resupply all of their missing comforts and to vigilantly protect them. The weight of responsibility for raising and educating their children had also been terribly heavy. This new altruistic savior spared them these worries too, so they slept. As they slumbered, that government did as it wished. Those people remained blissfully unaware of atrocities and unconcerned about losing their voices because of an utter trust born in the return of their long-awaited safety and comfort.Propaganda was their lullaby every time they stirred, and all was finally well.It was such a fortunate time to be a German citizen. What could go wrong?https://christinebialczak.com/2024/03/19/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-03-19-2024/ […]
