June Challenge Prompts: 6-Word Story Challenge (2017) #PFSixWordChallenge |

Welcome back to another month of my 6-word story challenge (#PFSixWordChallenge)! Grab your prompt sheet and join the party on Instagram for some summer writing fun!

Summer is one of my favorite seasons for creative endeavors. Something about the sunshine, the flowers, and wandering outside makes my imagination come alive! We get so busy with our activities that we sometimes forget to imagine what’s beyond our slice of life.

Ok, so maybe you don’t have time to dream up an epic novel or paint a timeless masterpiece. You do have time for 6-word stories. They add a sprinkle of creativity to your day. A smidgen. Just enough that you don’t take life too seriously.

If you think 6 words sounds easy, think again! You won’t have to waste a whole day on the computer, but it’s tough to squeeze a full story arc from only 6 words. The fun is in the trying.

Here are a few of mine to get you started:

Summer love taken away. Letters continued.
Memo: Hiring freeze due to nepotism.
“I’m innocent!” (The judge did it.)

Ready for bigger writing projects? Take a peek inside my writing journal for inspiration.

If you’re feeling extra creative, try your hand at six-word poems (rhyming) on odd days. Six-word poems are new to the challenge this year, but they’ve added a whole new layer of complexity. Micro-poetry is definitely outside my comfort zone. It’s a great way to flex your creative muscles.

Not sure where to start? See the examples of 6-word poems in the January 2017 Challenge post.

How to Play…

Six words. That’s all you get. Experiment and have fun with it!

Write whatever sparks in your mind. You are free to use the prompt words in your story, but it’s not required.
You can continue with the 6-word stories (non-rhyming) if you like.
If you’re ready for the extra challenge, try rhyming poems on odd days.
