Dear SSS readers and writers,
✨We are continuing our 2024 prompt challenge. Join us!✨
I learned that with a community around us, we can create better things and improve our writing skills through honest feedback and others’ perspectives.
In case you missed the previous weeks, please check the list below and you can use the prompts anytime and send in your stories to us. 😎 There is no deadline. Just make sure you use the correct tags each time.
I learned that with a community around us, we can create better things and improve our writing skills through honest feedback and others’ perspectives.
So I challenge you, Simple Story Seekers, to write a simple story this week also, from your life on, with a particular prompt.
This exercise will bring out wonderful ideas and probably trigger some memories. By reading the stories of others in the prompts section on our homepage, you will find fresh inspiration and motivation to write.
I assure you that you will start seeing the world with different eyes as you think of the weekly prompt.🤞
Simple process:
- Write your draft 📝
- Edit the tags to include SSS Prompts, Challenge and Simple Story Seekers 🏷️
- Submit it to us 📤
✨The prompts for this week will be five in number.✨
(If you are not yet a writer for our publication, please check the Guidelines here, here, and here.)
Feel free to write on all five prompts or choose one. 🤔
I do hope you will try your simple story skills and come up with more than one story, though.
🎉 So, here are the prompts for week 6. Let’s get started! 🎉
1. Share a childhood story about your first friendship.
Do you remember your first friend from your childhood? Do you still keep in touch? Do you have good memories together, or did something happen and you lost contact? Draw a lesson from your story.
2. Write about a time when you asked for help and received it.
Try to remember what you needed help with and why you couldn’t do it by yourself. Did you know the person who helped you? Could you repay him or her? What was the lesson you drew from that story?
3. Write how determination helped you overcome a certain event, hardship, or difficulty.
Tell a simple story about what the event or difficulty was and what you did. How did persevering make you feel? Was it worth it? What did you learn from it?
4. Write about how a particular teacher you remember used to behave in class.
This prompt might trigger some memories or feelings. Did your teacher shout, or was he or she very calm? How did it affect you? What did you learn from their behavior?
5. Write about a time when you jumped in a puddle and made a big splash.
How old were you, and where were you? Why did you jump, and how did it make you feel? Is there a more complex story behind the jump? This can be literal or metaphorical.
I hope you enjoy this week’s prompts. We look forward to reading your pieces. Please send in your stories, and let’s engage and support each other on this platform and in our SSS community.
We are the stories! Let’s write!
