Stine Writing and Miniatures

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 05/26/2026

Today’s prompt is:

*****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!

  5. […] Fluffy had tried not to be overly judgmental but since these people gave him such a lame name, he had been a bit of a sour puss.He was eternally grateful to be adopted but their ignorance of “cat language” got on his nerves. And those treats! Really? Did he look like he could hunt a cow?! Beef just didn’t appeal to him.He had tried softening them up with rubs and winks, but they have been oblivious to his requests.So, all he could do now is push everything off of counters. HELLO?The bathroom was especially effective. All those little bottles and tubes were easy. Today, he even shot one into the toilet. Geez! His facial expression still hasn’t gotten through to them, either.Tonight he would be coming up with a new plan. Perhaps he would leave a hairball in someone’s slipper?Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 05/26/2026 – Stine Writing […]
