How it works

Who's got the time to journal daily? You do.

1. Read the daily writing prompt.
2. Push "Play" on the timer on the right side of the screen.
3. Spend 60 seconds or less writing a response to the daily prompt.

You may respond in the "Comments" section of each post, if your response is family-friendly. Or you can write in your own journal or blog. If you respond in a public blog post, please use Mister Linky to share it with us. (See this post for more details.) Also feel free to use the "Comments" section for informal discussion about the responses that are posted.

Today, take a minute to write!

Weekly Mister Linky: 1/29-2/4

How to use Mister Linky:
  1. Enter your name, and let us know which day's prompt you're responding to (e.g., "Beth Monday").
  2. If your prompt contains adult language or content, please put an "M" after your name and the day (e.g., "Beth Monday M").
  3. Enter the URL of the actual post that you want people to visit--not your blog or website's home page! ("http://cbethblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/one-minute-writer-response.html" would be correct; "http://cbethblog.blogspot.com" would not.)
  4. You may link multiple times throughout the week if you respond to multiple prompts.

Friday Fiction: Hook

Write a brief bit of fiction using the prompt "Hook."

Friday Fiction is your opportunity to write a short (short, short, short) story. Many participants use more than one minute for Friday Fiction prompts, and I don't generally take the length of the post into account when I name a Friday winner.

Click on the "Friday Fiction" tag beneath the post to see more examples of Friday Fiction writings.
