I have checked and double checked that the image appears. If it does not I might lose my mind!

*****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. […] While the female fossa basked in the sun on the remote island of Madagascar, she was happy.This year’s litter had recently grown up healthy and moved on to pursue their own adult lives. The fossa had been an excellent mother and caregiver, so her offspring had followed their natural paths. Now she was free to enjoy a well-earned rest.If she only knew that human mothers in the wider world were experiencing something called “empty nest syndrome” needing counseling and drugs to deal with the same motherhood event, she might reexamine the accomplished bliss she was guiltlessly enjoying.It’s better not to tell her about that, don’t you think?https://christinebialczak.com/2024/10/01/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge10-01-2024/ […]
