Here they are, hot off the press! July’s Six-Word Story Challenge Prompts (#PFSixWordChallenge) are live on Instagram.
| July Prompts: Six-Word Story Challenge (#PFSixWordChallenge)|
You have thousands of stories locked inside you. I hope I’m not the first person to tell you this; maybe you’ve known all along. But knowing you have a story won’t get it out into the world. You have to pull the words from your subconscious and convince them to play nicely on the page.
Harder than it sounds, right?
If you’re like me, you’ve invented every excuse you can think of to delay writing. They go something like this:
- I’m too busy
- I don’t know how
- I’m afraid I’ll screw up
- I’ll embarrass myself
- Writing is too much pressure
- I’ll fail
- I won’t finish
- I’m not good enough
STOP!
Writing doesn’t have to be intimidating. That’s I came up with the Page Flutter Six-Word Challenge (#PFSixWordChallenge). This challenge is meant to silence those doubts. Your six words are exactly that. YOURS.
Tap into creative reserves you’ve ignored for too long, and tell us a story in six words.
You may not have time to hammer out 5,000 words a day, but you DO have time for six words a day. You won’t embarrass yourself because, hey, nobody is writing like Shakespeare with only six words!
Now, let’s get down to business!
