This store advertises that everything is 99 cents, or more…or less…

*****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!

  11. […] In an attempt to “stay afloat”, Mr. Davidson decided he could avoid the ubiquitous “snatch and grab” thefts in his city with false advertising. His regular patrons went along with the scam too. He kept a faux storefront and only allowed people he was familiar with into the backroom to actually shop.As a virtuous man, the false advertising was a big personal compromise made in desperation. His patrons consoled him when he expressed guilt by listing all the lying that our media and government are doing in support of (or at least unconcern over) such thievery. The ruin and unrest no longer seemed at all purely accidental. He came to realize that using one’s head to deceive evil intentions is not a commission of evil but a better way to combat it and survive it. https://christinebialczak.com/2024/04/09/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-04-09-2024/ […]
