Stine Writing and Miniatures

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 01/21/2025

Welcome to the 6-minute challenge!

Today’s prompt is:

This is a picture of a man holding a baby and a woman holding a chimpanzee

*****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. […] Charlie the Chimp always knew he’d been adopted. He loved his parents for the acceptance and care they’d given him.But as he grew, their clear differences in appearance from him were troubling.Their human hairlessness and less prominent “eye ridges” became hard to ignore. He was always thankful that his family’s activities only took place within human communities even though a sense of conspicuousness over his own appearance was growing inside of him.When Mom and Dad announced they were taking him to a zoo to see other chimps, he felt terrible! Those chimps would no doubt mock him, but more importantly, he wouldn’t be able to shield his mom and dad’s certain feelings of ugliness when compared to the side-by-side contrast of all that chimpanzee naturally endowed beauty. https://christinebialczak.com/2025/01/21/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-01-14-2025/ […]
