Stine Writing and Miniatures

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 05/19/2026

Today’s prompt is:

LongExposure 1
This is an image of a city built as if it were in the middle of the water. Instead of roadways, everything is water.

*****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!

  2. […] 😻Hop in, I meowed to the lady hanging her arms over the railing. Do you see that window up top in the middle? That is my home. My favorite place to be. You won’t believe your eyes when you see what they’re seeing. My gift to you is my catch of the day😻. “A gift”, you say. Why yes, I meowed while we were floating on the water! This evening I will cook supper for you, my dear friend. Then we will chat long into the night. We have some catching up to do😻. Writing Prompts – Esther Chilton, #RDP, #Simply Six Minutes […]
