Stine Writing and Miniatures

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 08/05/2025

Welcome to the 6 minute challenge!

Today’s prompt is:

This is a picture of a cat driving a car with two mice on the hood of the car.

*****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!

  9. […] Tony began his life living on the streets until a well-to-do young woman rescued him. Her name was Tessa, and she cleaned him up giving him a real taste of “the good life”. She even got him a spot in a cat food commercial where he made friends with the Dice Twins-Maude and Mack. His eating of live mice had long ceased. (Too gamey.)But Tessa loved every “fad”. Her rescue of Tony was actually an attempt at one after attending a PETA convention. Now, she’d crossed a line! She insisted that he also become a vegan! So, the next chance he got “on set” of his commercial, Tony enlisted the Dice Twin’s help for an escape.Mice (as everyone knows) have connections all over the city. Last they were spotted; the threesome had stolen a car and were headed for a downtown Deli that gave out generous samples.https://christinebialczak.com/2025/08/05/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-08-05-2025/ […]
