Stine Writing and Miniatures

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 07/09/2024

Welcome to the 6-minute challenge!

Today’s prompt is:

Overseer of small mammals at Bristol Zoo Gardens Caroline Brown with the young aye aye named Raz, (Daubentonia madagascariensis) in Bristol Zoo in Bristol, England, Wednesday Jan. 9, 2007. The aye aye is only the second of his species to be born in Britain. The rare species of lemur, hunted to near-extinction and seen as a bad omen in its native Madagascar, has been born at the Zoo.

This is a strange little animal called a aye aye.

*****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!

  8. […] The magic wand had suddenly appeared in David’s hand. He hadn’t asked for it and was quite calm about this astounding event. He felt an impulsive urge to wave the wand at the TV. There on the screen was a meeting taking place in the Senate. Impassioned speeches echoed in the chamber. The majority leader stepped to the podium and David waved the wand wishing that all the bold-faced liars would get their “due”.Immediately, almost every Senate member turned into a freaky looking little creature!One of the staff members raced to the podium lifting one of them to the microphone. The creature spoke without pause in Chuck Schumer’s voice.Startled to the core, David sat up in bed covered in sweat. The wand was gone and so was his vivid wishful dream. https://christinebialczak.com/2024/07/09/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-07-09-2024/ […]
