Shoutout to the teacher in Denver who made us write a story with only 6 words
Back in 2019 I was stuck on a prompt for 3 days and almost quit writing for good. My old teacher said to try a 6 word story instead of a full page, so I wrote about a lost dog and it broke the block in 20 minutes. Now I keep a list of tiny prompts on my phone for when nothing comes out. The trick is starting small instead of forcing a big idea on day one. What short prompts do you all use when you feel stuck?
