Stine Writing and Miniatures

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 02/17/2026

Today’s prompt is:

This is a picture of a little girl standing in front of a wall of pictures of different people of all ages, colors, genders, etc. to celebrate Who Shall I Be Day

*****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!

  12. […] Grandma was NOT happy when Maria came home with her preschool photo from “Who Shall I Be?” Day. Grandma constantly reminded her of her singular uniqueness. “There’s nobody just like you in the whole world, Baby. Always be your best self.”Apparently, the Pre-School was starting early with the brainwashing. The whole educational system was teaching those beautiful, original, children to compare themselves to each other. The current culture also inspired Pop hero worship and envy at every turn.Kids should be asked to look inward for their God given talents not to copy others.Grandma decided to spend extra time with her dear grandchild from then on. Maria’s chances of avoiding this mental marginalization would be up to more family presence and less exposure to indoctrination practices.Grandma was going to start campaigning for homeschool! https://christinebialczak.com/2026/02/17/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-02-17-2026/ […]
